    ct interruptions and use them to summarize key sales points.

    7. Involve The Prospect. Give the prospect something to feel, handle, manipulate, examine. Let the prospect mentally take possession of your product or service.

    8. Gauge Your Progress. Progress should be measured in terms of understanding. No understanding...no sale. The more the prospect agrees with you, the more progress you are making.

    9. Give A Complete Sales Talk Every Time. Your presentation must perform four important functions:

    (A) Win the prospects attention,

    (B) hold his interest,

    Employe Hiring and Retention
    Attracting and retaining quality employees is vital to the success of any auto service business. A common cry in the auto repair industry is, “I can’t get any good help.”Dave Dunn of Masters School of Autobody Management states, “If you can’t find and keep good help, it’s your fault.” I attended Dave’s school for a week in October, 2001. He devotes one day of the five day course to employee hiring and retention. Dave s
    No matter what your business is, you will enhance your level of success by developing a well-organized sales presentation. A good sales presentation involves two primary elements:

    (1) The pre-planned sales talk.

    (2) A carefully conceived and organized visual presentation that documents, confirms, supports, and strengthens the oral.

    Your visual aid can take a variety of forms. It may be a multi-page flip-over type with elaborate charts and graphs, extensive artwork, color photos, and other attention getting devices. It may be a computer driven multi-media event or a simple on-line presentation from a laptop. Or, it can be a basic set of 8 1/2 X 11 loose-leaf pages that can be arranged to fit diverse selling situations.

    Presentations, whether professionally designed or home made, are a vital component of your selling process. Why? Confucius put it this way: "In all things, success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure." First prepare. Then sell.

    Here are ten tips for selling better with prepared presentations.

    1. Plan Ahead. Advance preparation is nine-tenths of the sale. Be sure you are organized and equipped to talk, show, and sell. Know all you can about your prospect before you make the presentation. Tailor your products/services benefits to solve your prospects’ problems and fill their needs and desires.

    2. Make A Great First Impression. A clean uncluttered sales presentation, like an artist’s creation, is a mirror-image of your character, personality, and attitude.

    3. Be Clear. Be Logical. Be Brief. Don’t be brief at the expense of being misunderstood. Clarity starts with you. Clear answers to your prospects overriding question... What can you do for me?...will lead to understanding and sales.

    4. Maintain Control. Never sit between two buyers. Don’t let the prospect read ahead or thumb through your visual aids until you’re ready for him to. Ask the prospect to instruct his secretary to hold all calls during your presentation. (It takes guts to sell.)

    5. Seek Change of Pace. Put bounce in your voice. Change pace, tempo, and volume. Ask lots of questions. Get verbal confirmation of agreement at each stage of the presentation.

    6. Prepare For Interruptions. Don’t be flustered or thrown off balance. Expect interruptions and use them to summarize key sales points.

    7. Involve The Prospect. Give the prospect something to feel, handle, manipulate, examine. Let the prospect mentally take possession of your product or service.

    What Makes a Great Guest? (Or Coach, Or Sales Professional)
    Who would expect that watching a fifty year celebration for Larry King would get me thinking about the attributes of great coaches, sales professionals, clients, consultants, you name it. The other night while watching Larry being interviewed by Katie Couric, Katie asked Larry what makes a great guest. His response got me thinking. Larry said they have PASSION; they are able to clearly ARTICULATE what they do; they have a

    The Power of the Interview
    Interviewing an expert and sharing their ideas with others is not a new concept. Experts have been doing radio and television interviews for decades. They use these platforms to create awareness for their company and what they stand for, as well as to educate listeners and ultimately sell products.The same techniques are used today using a different medium - teleseminars. Just like the radio, teleseminars can be someth
