  Everyone has the potential to experience personal and professional gratification. Still, many of us settle for the status quo or let doubt and worry sabotage our efforts to move on.

• Sell in High Definition™ – Become an Expert, Build Trust, Attract Business

  Imagine after a few years in your sales job you’ve created a situation in which a substantial quantity of your sales come from prospects who learned about YOU and your product or service and CALL YOU to explore how you can meet their needs. Imagine your pipeline filled with leads from referrals and never having to make a cold call. Sound far-fetched? It’s more realistic than you might think when you Sell In High Definition™.

  Salespeople who’ve reached this pinnacle have positioned themselves as experts, advisors, and problem solvers in their niche industry and have become masterful at building trusting relationships. They no longer chase the sale because they’ve built a reputation as a “go to” person who creates a differentiated customer experience, adds value and always does what’s best for the customer. As a result, they become a “business and referrals magnet”.

  Attracting more customers rather than continually searching for them will require you think differently about how you now sell. You’ll learn how to do that and more when you attend this high-energy session with proven ideas that will increase your sales and make you stand out from your competition. You’ll discover how to:

  • View what you do for a living from a totally new perspective
  • Position and promote yourself as an expert and a “mini celebrity”
  • Attract warm inquiries from prospects who are referred to you
  • “Clone” your best customers and infiltrate your niche
  • Pre-call plan effectively to increase your chances of winning the business
  • Add value, educate, and be bold to advance the sale
  • Critique your sales calls and avoid the most common pitfalls that repel customers

• Serve In High Definition™ – Differentiate, Deliver Value, Delight Your Customers

  To attract and retain loyal customers requires a lot more than a smile, a return call, and a thank you note. Good customer service is expected and no longer a differentiator. Has your attempt to create consistency and standards resulted in robotic or impassive conversations? Has your focus on growth overshadowed the voice of the customer?

  To grow your business and stand out from the crowd, every employee and department must seek to add value, contribute, and create a memorable experience. In this action-packed program, Barb will give you a roadmap and proven ideas to:

  • Increase staff engagement to bring your service and brand promise alive
  • Break down silos and encourage collaboration between sales and support areas
  • Provide additional value and stay top-of-mind with customers
  • Get customer feedback and measure service easily
  • Avoid the top three pitfalls that repel customers
  • Most of all, inspire your staff to deliver genuine and attentive service!
