Sales Presentations That Command Attention
| |
| One of the key challenges in any sales presentation is communicating a message that makes prospects pay attention. Amid all the clutter and noise that exists in the marketplace, how do we get those with whom we most want to do business with, to pay attention to us?
Obviously, that’s a complex question and the answer quite frankly is that there are a lot of factors. But if we go to ground zero, that point where we are first trying to get attention, there is one element that we most want to focus on. |

The Death of Boring White Papers
| |
| As the Vice President for Human Resources for a $750 million diversified manufacturer, Jason seemed to be on the hit list for every consultant and headhunter on the eastern seaboard. It wasn’t that he didn’t use their services, in fact he was desperately in need of some specialized assistance, but finding just the right advisor was quickly becoming much harder than he anticipated.
One thing was certainly clear-he wasn’t going to find what he needed from his existing network of contacts. That track had been lapped multiple times. Thus, he’d put the word out three weeks ago that he was open to learning about new firms and experts. Since then, the trickle of white papers and reports that came across his desk had turned into a veritable tsunami. |

You Can't Change A Sales Prospect's Mind
| |
| I think we spend a lot of time trying to get people to change their minds. I also think it’s a waste of time. No matter how many facts you list, you’re just not going to be able to change the way someone views the world. It’s a bit like the old joke about you can’t milk a cat. First it can’t be done, and all it does is annoy the cat. |

A Simple Way To Get More New Clients
| |
| This is somewhat overwhelming. I Googled “marketing advice” this morning and guess what? There’s a mere 99,300,000 results. Although I’m being slightly facetious, going online to research how to get more new clients, probably causes more harm than good. It’s not that there’s a lack of information (some of it actually quite good). The problem is that there’s (obviously) too much information. So why is this important? |

Want to Double Your Sales? Cut Your Market in Half
| |
| Two years ago, my firm suffered from split business disorder and as the owner, so did I. Offering marketing services for small business owners, we also offered team building and training services to Fortune 500 firms.
Neither segment was large enough to stand alone, so I spent my time split between both. When someone asked me what I did, I was never quite sure how to respond and often said too much.
Networking associates overloaded with T.M.I. (Too Much Information) rarely had a good referral for me. How could they? If I didn't know what I did or who I wanted to meet, it was unrealistic to expect others to be able to help me. A drastic change was required! |
