This Week's Tip:
The Ultimate Sales
Tip
Greetings!
The longer I'm in sales, the simpler it seems.
I'm talking about the things we need to do in order
to be successful. There are a number of
fundamentals, that when followed, will help us
help more people buy.
Today, my friend and colleague Jim
Meisenheimer
shares one of these fundamentals, that when
taken to heart and followed every single call,
will ensure your success.
The Ultimate Sales Tip
By Jim Meisenheimer
I was sitting in the gate area waiting to board a
flight to Chicago, reading a chapter from
"127 More Secrets Of Direct Mail."
Then it happened.
I got to number 123.
It grabbed me by the lapels of my sports jacket.
It really throttled me.
It caught me by surprise.
It wasn't an entirely new concept for me.
It was the words. It
was the language. It was
exceptional because of its brevity.
Simply brilliant!
These words will
surely linger for a long time,
like a burning ember.
Look, if you're an
entrepreneur or a professional
sales person you might want to type these words
on a 3 x 5 card and get it laminated. You do not
want to forget this sales tip or these powerful
words.
The plane's pulling
back from the gate and we're
now headed to Chicago, and I'm writing this
feverishly, so I can capture the essence and the
power of what I just read.
It's so simple--why
didn't I think of stringing
these three words together?
Here's the secret # 123.
"Don't sell. SOLVE!"
Let me repeat this for you, "Don't sell. SOLVE.
So you might be
wondering what's involved in the
SOLVING PROCESS?
Don't talk and tell,
ask questions and listen.
It's that simple.
Based on my
observations most salespeople do not
ask quality sales questions.
It's been said, you
can tell the quality of your
sales questions by the quality of the responses
you get.

QUOTE OF

=========================================
Learn How to Write
Your Own Interest-Grabbing Opening
And Avoid Demoralizing Resistance, AND Art Will Review
it For You
Without a doubt, the most important part of your phone call
is the first 15 seconds. You can have the greatest product
or service in the world, but if you can't get past the opening,
you're sunk.
Most calls sink.
But it's not that difficult to say the right things to create
interest and avoid the things that most salespeople say
that ensure they get blown off the phone. I share these
ideas, strategies, process, and word-for-word examples
in my 90-minute teleseminar on two CD's, "How to Easily
Create Telephone
Call Openings that Stimulate Interest,
and Avoid
Resistance"
Plus, as a special bonus, I
will personally review your opening
and make my comments or suggestions. For more info and to hear

Planning Your Fall 2009 or 2010 National Sales Meeting,
Or any of Your Training? Let Me Help
You Make It the Best Ever
If your company or association would benefit from a content-packed,
entertaining, interactive, how-to customized workshop on any
part of, or the entire telesales and prospecting call and process,
let's talk. I specialize in developing and delivering programs
that get sales reps saying and doing the right things, right
away, to get more YES answers from prospects and customers.
Isn't it time that the organization does something special
for the most important part of the sales process? Size of
group does not matter; I've done programs for as few as three
people and as big as 2000. If your people are not saying and
doing the right things by phone, nothing else matters. Let
me help you ensure it.
