“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

The Progress Challenge : Working and Winning in a World of Change

with Award-Winning Author and Speaker, Dean Lindsay

The Progress Challenge is just that, a challenge - a challenge to progress, a challenge to work and win in this complicated, stress-encouraging, wonderful world of continual, radical change. Meeting The Progress Challenge:

= Establishes and Cements Customer Loyalty

= Attracts New Business and Generates Quality Referrals

= Leads to Career Development and Life Balance

= Creates Better leaders, Better Team Members, Better Human Beings.

There is a powerful and important connection between solid leadership, sales success, personal motivation, and customer loyalty. All are achieved by effectively positioning ideas, recommendations, solutions, products, services - even ourselves - as progress in the minds of those we wish to inspire to action. This program offers a fresh and powerful blueprint for meeting this Progress Challenge. Audiences learn how to enhance your opportunities by implementing and using Dean Lindsay’s Six Ps of Progress. However, simply learning how to enhance your opportunities is NOT the goal. The goal is to actually enhance your opportunities in your life and work. Learning should not lead to simply knowing. Learning should lead to action.

Dean is the author of 'The Progress Challenge: Working and Winning in a World of Change' - ( "a much needed kick in the pants for all of us… What an enlightening book!" - Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager® & translated into Spanish, Polish and Chinese) & 'Cracking the Networking CODE: 4 Steps to Priceless Business Relationships' (Recommended Reading by Brian Tracy, the United Professional Sales Association and Profit magazine)

Learn what’s beneath the surface and how to use it and you can motivate just about anyone like MAGIC.

Discover How to:

· Motivate without manipulating
· Activate the desire in others to help you get what you want
· Sell your ideas and gain buy-in so people are happy to help you succeed
· Transcend generational differences to get the best from anyone
· Engage minds and positively influence behaviors
· Redirect the energy, actions and attitudes of others for optimal outcomes
