The Advertising, Marketing and Broadcast community currently reside in a tramline society, a society that has got used to its ruts and its blinkers and prefers its own ways, however dreary, to untrodden paths and new ways of looking at things.An analogous story is of the Peruvian Indians who, seeing the sails of their Spanish invaders on the horizon simply put it down to a fr

Most of the people I speak with just want to have some confidence when they meet with someone. Once you understand the basics of the sales process, you’ll know why you’re asking the questions you’re asking. It’s the answers to those questions that lead you down the path of the sales call.
It’s been my experience, that if you have some basic skills, a good product/service that’s priced fairly, you’ll gain agreement without cutting your price. That’s how your business will grow. By learning a few sales skills, you can get the maximum price. Isn’t that what you need to do for your business to succeed?
