When you run your own business, success is all about selling your products, your services, and yourself. Do it effectively, and you will prosper. Do it poorly, and you will fail, sooner or later. Many entrepreneurs, business owners and self-employed professionals do not like to think of themselves as "salespeople" because of the negative image that goes with the "s" word (when you think of a "salesperson" after all, what do YOU think of?)
In this fast-paced, humorous, and exciting program, Cliff Ennico will teach you a three-step process by which just about anyone can sell just about anything to just about anybody, and still feel good about yourself.
The steps are easy, but be forewarned -- they may force you to think entirely differently about your business, your products and services, and yourself than you do today.
You will learn:
- The two reasons (there are only two) why anyone buys anything
- How to get a sales prospect to like (and more importantly, remember) you
- How to get the most out of networking meetings
- What should (and should not) be on your business cards and website
- What really works in an "elevator pitch"
