This is extremely important because the system you are using may be only partially automated.For instance, your system might take online registrations that are then emailed to you, but never put in a database. So, you still have to manually key in the registrant's information and build your database by hand. In other cases, you may have to manually process payments.

    The story

    A few weeks ago, I met Chris* at a networking event. We chatted about what his company was doing and what my business was all about. He quickly realized that his company's online solutions could be beneficial for us and said, "Charlie, we should really meet soon so that I can show you our solutions that can lead you to more business." We had fairly good rapport and my company was then currently considering improvements to our online approach, so I was willing to respond to his suggestion.

    A few days later, Chris called me and we set a meeting. During the meeting, he showed me a brochure with all his company's solutions and kept asking whether this or that solution would be of interest to me.

    We finally nailed down one area of immediate interest and three areas for future consideration out of the list of around 10 solutions. Then I asked a few technical questions that Chris could only partially answer, so he suggested that I meet one of their software engineers for further clarifications. This was fine with me, especially because the engineer provided me with more satisfactory answers.

    Before I left, Chris promised to send me a quote for the more immediate requirement, including some of the options that were briefly mentioned by the engineer. I received the proposal a couple of days later, and after a few more days, Chris called me to check if I received the quote and if everything was clear.

    Bullet Proof Shipping
    If you are in the business of shipping products, shipping damage is a very real problem. It occurs constantly and even has to be figured into your shipping budget. It would seem a shame that the big three shipping carriers (UPS, Federal Express and DHL) would have the damage solution under control. Sadly they do not. The problem really resides in people (as usual) If you look at the employment model of the shipping carriers you will find most have a lot of part time employees that work third shift and have other jobs as well. A lot are unskilled labor and just there trying to earn some decent money. The job entail

    Laser Plastic Cutting
    Laser-aided cutting has brought about a revolution in the manufacturing industries. These high-powered optical beams are used to cut through a variety of materials such as metal, wood, glass and plastic. The laser is directed at the required surface and moved around to cut the material in the desired shape. Laser cutting gives a finer finish to the end product as compared to conventional cutting methods.A typical laser beam is about 1/5th of a millimeter in width and has an intensity of 1000 to 2000 watts. Most laser cutting machines are integrated into a CAD/CAM system that helps the user design the end product

    Let's see which aspects of Chris's approach are in line with the "Stop Selling!" approach, and then I'll discuss what a person with the "Stop Selling!" mindset would have done differently:

    In line with "Stop Selling!"

    The responsiveness and reliability that Chris displayed was perfectly fine and gave me, his potential buyer, the feeling that his is a credible, trustworthy company.

    Even if Chris did not have full technical competence, it was not an issue for me as a buyer - I appreciated his efforts in having the engineer answer my questions. Furthermore, the situation assured me that in future dealings, he wouldn't suggest solutions unsuited to my expectations, and that he would understand my expectations in the first place.

    The way I was received at his office was very welcoming and certainly immediately improved the already existing good rapport - an important basis for building trust.

    What I would have done differently

    It actually started at the networking event. As a potential buyer, I found it way too premature for Chris to claim that his company's solutions will lead my company to more business. If he would have shared that his company's solutions helped other companies similar to mine, it would have been much more attractive and believable to me.

    Also, instead of saying "can show you our solutions", I would have preferred if he said something like "I would like to
