Give Your Powerpoint Punch With Great Images - 8 Steps To Preparing Your Images ou need a personal sales and marketing strategy that seamlessly combines your natural self with your strongest message to your best prospects with the highest value, using the least time and effort.Electronic images are not all the same and different uses require different techniques. Today, we're going to look at preparing images for insertion to a PowerPoint presentation. Before you start you should know the purpose of the presentation as well as how and when the PowerPoint will be presented. Be aware of screen size if you can. The larger the screen the more important this is as images can be distorted or appear too small/large.1. You hav Then you need a plan and an accountability mechanism (sales manager, coach, or colleague) that will help you work your plan, day by day, prospect by prospect. Unlike traditional sales training, true sales and marketing effectiveness is a process, not an event. And it always works from the INSIDE out. That means that it’s focused on internal skills and lasting tools, not sales trai Creating Powerful Names for Products, Services, and Your Business If you’re a solopreneur, consultant, business owner, or independent professional, you probably have asked yourself some or all of the following questions:The name of your business is important--it's one of the first things potential customers know about it. And having unique names for each of your products and services can be a powerful selling tool. One way to make yourself and your business attractive is to have something exclusive and enticing, promising benefits. Good names for your business, products and services can do that. Good names market for you.Do you have a hard time coming up with na * How can I get more clients? * How can I get better clients? * How do I sell more to the clients I’ve got? * Can I earn more money and still have a life? * Why are sales activities so difficult sometimes? * Is there a "right" way to sell? * Where can I turn for hands-on advice when I need it? * When will this get easier? Well, I’ve got some answers. Here’s what most sales training companies will tell you is the answer to your sales and marketing challenges: sales training. Here’s what most marketing consultants will tell you is your answer: marketing consulting. Well, that just isn’t the case. If anything, you need to UNlearn what a lot of sales training and marketing seminars and sales books have told you. You need to reconnect with how to sell based on WHO you are – in short, to start using and recognizing the power of selling differently. And here’s something new and different coming from someone like me: You don’t need sales training. Sales training (and any training) is for people who lack knowledge. My clients are typically very smart. But they've learned to sell from the head - using gimmicks, clever phrases, manipulative “closing” techniques, and artificial “rapport-building.” None of this works or lasts because it's outside-in – trying to force you into a mold that you just don’t fit. A truly effective approach will unlock your thinking and help you sell FOR REAL. It's more authentic, and it works and lasts because you start to sell from the inside-out - based on WHO you are, and not on an external set of behaviors that work for only a very small percentage of "old school" salespeople. Think about it. You know how to sell (or at least you know you don't like what a lot of sales training SAYS is the way to sell). You have probably had some sales training; and you might have gone to a few sales seminars; you have probably read a sales or marketing book or two; and you may even have heard some fluffy “woo-woo” talks that call themselves sales training; but none of it stuck because none of it seemed relevant to you or spoke to your desire to help people by providing genuine value.
