    Public Relations for Business Services
    Many small-businesses offer business-to-business services and they make their money on helping companies do what they cannot do in-house, but not all corporations want to outsource for business services. Therefore it can get a little tricky trying to market and advertise such a service business.It therefore makes sense to do a little public relations in the industry sub-sector that you are in. If you are a generalist
    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,

    (C) persuade and convince him of the rightness of your proposition,

    How To Use Eye Contact In A Presentation
    Articles about public speaking often talk about the ‘audience’ as if it is one single entity, thinking and perceiving as one. This can make it very easy to overlook the obvious fact, that from an individual member of the audience’s perspective, we never actually present to an audience at all. In reality, we only ever speak to a collection of independently thinking individuals and that each of these people will interpret a pre
    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.

    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.
