Men of Business
“Retro Sales Strategies for the Digital Age”
Janet White, President
The JW Speakers Agency
When it comes to generating business for their business, many small business owners have a very hard time. Even if they have a fully optimized website, use social media and network tirelessly to generate referrals, at some point, they’re still going to have to sell.
But since most people don’t know how to sell, they feel pressured, awkward and totally out of their comfort zone. And when their sales efforts don’t work, they take it as a personal failure. Fortunately, none of this is necessary.
With some minor shifts in the way they think about and approach the process of selling, your members can experience dramatic changes in their businesses. In my talk, “Retro Sales Strategies for the Digital Age,” your members will learn:
· The fundamental differences between selling and marketing
· Why they need to think of their potential buyers as people, not prospects
· How the words they use and the actions they take have a direct impact on their bottom line
