I recently launched a survey and the preliminary results are in. In response to the question what is your preferred learning format – 75% of respondents said In Class Training.

In answer to your request I have organized 3 dates for In Class Training of 
Set The Stage – Business Development Training That Turns Leads Into Sales

This foundational class outlines the Follow Up Business System and The Business Growth Strategy and is the same material I use to show corporate sales representatives at Investors Group, Verico Mortgages and new entrepreneurs through The Learning Enrichment Foundation and Enterprise Toronto how to follow up so they do not feel like they are being a pest.

Never feel like a pest again when you follow up after meeting people at business networking and trade show events!

This course will show you how to build a system that turns those business card leads into sales!

Set The Stage – Business Development Training

If you would prefer this training at your location, just contact me.

It really bothers me when I hear that people attend networking and trade show events as a route to find new clients and grow their business fast, but end up off course, lost in voice mail jail, frustrated and feeling like a pest.

I find this final quarter of the year leading up to the holiday season Very Exciting.
You will be going to many business networking and trade show events and maybe you have been struggling with generating new prospects and clients from these marketing and sales activities. I want to help.

Could I ask you a question please?

What is the top question you have about - prospecting at - and – following up after –  business networking and tradeshow events?

Please e-mail me your questions to Cheryl at Executive Sales Support.com

The reason I’m asking this question is – many of my clients tell me they try to follow up with the people they meet but they end up;

• feeling like they are bugging people and so they stop
• get distracted doing other activities and end up running out of time and feeling like it is now too late

Over the next six weeks I will be hosting a series of seminars where I be answering your questions and sharing with you tips you can use to:

• start conversations in a room full of strangers
• follow up tools to continue the conversation
• a marketing and sales funnel strategy that enables you to follow up with everyone you meet

Please e-mail me your questions Cheryl at Executive Sales Support.com
I look forward to receiving your questions and ‘seeing’ you in the upcoming seminars.To your success,

Well, believe it or not, Thanksgiving (Oct. 10th) is now just one month away!

For those of us looking to grow our businesses or simply retain our current customers, what better occasion than Thanksgiving to express our appreciation for the business that our customers send our way!?  ”Who sends Thanksgiving cards???” you might ask.  Exactly!  Not many, so for those that do, guess what?  The impact with the recipient is HUGE! ”Too early?” you ask.  Not if you’re using a system like SendOutCards!  Design your entire campaign whenever you have time in the next few weeks, and set it to go automatically on, say Sept. 29 or 30th, so that the card is sure to arrive just before the holiday weekend.

To your success!
