Using Magic in the Selling Process
Ever found a good prospect for your product or service, made a great presentation
to them, and then had them tell you something like "I need to think
this over" or "This looks really good; we'll get back to you"? (And
they didn't do either?) Or, how about the prospect who agrees that, "Yes
- you may call me next Tuesday at 3" but forgets to tell you that they
won't be there at 3 (but you are, indeed, welcome to call then!).
Bad prospects? Question: when did you, the seller, ask that prospect
not to do that to you?
Come learn how to gain your prospect's agreement NOT to string you along,
or fail to ever make a decision, or agree to take a call they have no
intention of taking. Is it magic? No. But the secret just
might put some more gold in your pocket.
Cost: $15 at the door (cash
only)
Time: 11:30 check-in and
