Some days it feels like no one wants to talk to you…

Get top-notch sales training

• Improve individual sales skills!

• Doctors, Lawyers, CCIE need CEUs

• “Don’t wish it were easier…wish you were

better.” – Jim Rohn

Hire a coach!

• Sports teams have

coaches & trainers

to help them to

peak performance.

Why wouldn’t you?

Master Your TimeIf you aren’t working your calendar to schedule your

appointments, follow up, sales activities, lunches

(never eat alone), etc., then you are letting your day run you.

• Routines, habits are the secret

to success – something that

Stephen Covey preached as

well.

• What are Money Hours?

MONEY HOURS

Learn to say “NO.”• Walk away from tire kickers

• Only spend time with those people who

can buy.

• Faster to NO, faster to Ink!

Niche Yourself• Ex: Hosted PBX is best leveraged by multi-

location businesses or businesses with

virtual, remote or mobile workers. If your

prospect is a single site without mobile or

virtual needs, politely decline.

• Niche experts have shorter sales cycles and

can charge more.

• The best prospects have an immediate need – a

pain point – coupled with a budget and trust.

4. Establish trust – fast!

• The biggest factor in sales is TRUST

3 sales during every sale:

• They have to buy (1) the salesperson, (2) the

company and (3) the service.

• That’s a lot of trust building. That’s why

testimonials, references, relationships, social

proof, case studies and follow up are so

important.

5. Ask great questions & listen• Asking insightful questions is more

powerful than spouting off knowledge and

facts.

• Uncover pain – over and over again.

• Keep the prospect talking…the more they

talk, the more you’re selling.

“If you don’t listen,

you don’t sellanything.”

—Carolyn Marland/Managing Director/

Guardian Group

“Nothing is so

contagious asenthusiasm.”

—Samuel Taylor Coleridge

ATTITUDE IS IMPORTANT!

medical industries.

area.

there must be a VERY well thought

out strategy.

list

line

• Offer value… don’t sell! Answer

questions and address pain.

• Infuse creativity

• Test and tweak

Content Marketing

your funnel.o Blog posts
