You Only Have 7 Seconds
• Do you ever feel like your prospects don’t understand your message?
• Do you get the feeling no one reads your brochures?
• Do prospects fail to return your voice mails?
• Do fewer and fewer people respond to your ads and website?
You only have 7 seconds at best to capture a prospect’s interest in this world where everyone is shouting at them, trying to sell them something. Relevance Marketing is the best way to ensure your potential clients will “hear” what you’re saying.
32-year sales and marketing pro, Ted Vinzani, has spent his career finding different ways to sell both new and existing products to prospects.
In 1993, completely exasperated with the sales materials and support from his company’s marketing department, Ted decided he’d figure out a better way to put forth his message. In 2002, Ted hung out his shingle as a marketing consultant. He’s worked on major projects in the health, marketing communications, and grocery industries, as well as other smaller projects. Ted’s primary specialty is Relevance Marketing.
The goal of Relevance Marketing is to cause prospects to identify with and see themselves succeeding in your marketing message, whether it be your brochure or website, your ads, or how you send emails and make sales phone calls.
This will mostly be an audience participation event. We’ll look at brochures from the attendees to see how you might recreate them to cause your prospects to really want to read them.
Bring 7 to 10 copies of one brochure to pass around and we’ll look at as many as we can in the time allowed.
The goal is to cause your prospects to say, “Wow! This brochure is all about me!”
That is, they know you’re talking about their problems and how they’d like to succeed, so reading it is what they want to do.

Closing More Sales Topic for Wisconsin Business Owners Oct. 30 Lunch & Learn
Posted by wisowners.com in Upcoming Speakers on October 27, 2009
Have your most successful year ever, even in a co-called ‘down’ economy.
Are you meeting your sales goals?
Would you like to close more sales?
Are you prospecting effectively?
Great salespeople aren’t born – they’re trained. Sales means finding qualified prospects, getting in the door, making the sales call, and writing and presenting the proposal. After all that work and time, how many prospects are you closing? What part of that sales chain is your weak link? Come to this workshop and learn techniques that will strengthen your skills in every step of the process.
