Barry Thomsen’s expertise on marketing, business success, survival, customer and attitude.
By working on his own, he learned the importance of great customer service.
Barry’s suggestions and tips:
Set Realistic Goals-everyone wants a million dollar sale but every prospect may not have that much to spend
Check them out-find out about your prospects before you arrive and speak their industry language
Prepare materials and literature-present products and services that will be relative to their wants and needs, not just what you want to sell
Rehearse your presentation-follow an outline and omit all the “ahs” and “ums” in it
Check their location so you arrive on time and not too early or late.
Getting lost is NOT an excuse.
Mentally prepare-make the sale in your mind by satisfying your new new customer in every way possible
Practice your smile-it gives confidence so use it often
Speaking to groups or in meetings makes you an expert in your field and gives confidence to those you are speaking to.
Here are some ideas to consider
.Make eye contact with everyone you can for 2 to 3 seconds
.Choose words and phrases to match the level of your audience
.Meet some of your audience before you are introduced
.Always write your own introduction to let people know who you are and what your credentials and background consist of.
.Use vocal variety to accent certain points
.Move away from the lectern occasionally
.Add stories and humor throughout your speech
.Have room temperature water & Kleenex nearby
.Use pauses instead of “ums” and “ahs”
.Take command of the audience, they expect you to
.Rehearse your talk and be sure that it fits the time limit
