Sounds like a topic for Idea Sharing 9. I to could use a lot of help in the self-selling field. I do not like to compete with other services, I just like to put a across to someone who has never seen me what I can do in a way they want to hear.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Charles: I'm blushing here. You can't begin to imagine how appreciative my heart feels in reading your response. Thank you is not enough, so here's a kiss...SMACK!

DJRon1:Agreeing with your Topic thought, a singular problem arises in the myriad of sales and contact philosophies. The first example of such is Charles' target or technique to first obtain a face-to-face. My particular strategy is getting the booking on the phone, and schedule a pre-sales meeting only if client insists. Right out of the gate, here's two completely different approaches, each having their merits and minuses, depending on the listener.

Then think about all the factors that make a phone sale possible. Reputation, market leadership, name recognition, time in service. Then there's "giving great telephone" techniques, another whole new subject. They are also examples of "We'll die if we don't get him". (or at least the feeling of having to settle for less)

Having had my butt shot off in other forums for my many unorthodox concepts and mechanics gives rise to much trepidation of going down that road again.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>The digital up-sell Jam speaks of are ala carte add-ons that add to the client feeling that "if we don't hire him, we'll die".[/b][/quote]

Hey! were not here to kill anyone lol.... 95+% of the individuals that go to a fine restaurant are focused on the meal... the thought of dessert is a compliment to the experience and after an individual books yor service an add-on is a compliment to the experience not a deal killer....

djron, seeing how this is a CPS DJ area if you are a computer DJ with a suggestion on such topics go here: Go Here To Suggest Download the form and make the suggestion...

Sorry, I was just going with the flow. I'm not a computer dj as of yet but hope to be soon. Sometimes I forget where I am and just read and answer. This is a good topic, hope I find more on it else where.

Cap, variety is what makes the world go round. I just like to hear what works for people and decide for myself. Like I said I don't like to compete, I like to learn. "There is more than one way to skin a cat" or something like that.

Thanks

How'd this thread turn negative? Having a client think that without your individual service they'll simply die is a good thing, a great thing, a wonderful thing. Nothing morbid intended. Use a "valley girl" inflection when reading "they'll simply die".

Loosen the belt a notch, it's too tight. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

djron1: Hey, you wanna ask here, you ask here! If I can be any help or guidance during your analog to digital transition, just ask.

Hmm... I'm thinkin' a "Thank You" will suffice! LOL

Ron,

If you need some ideas for your transition, need some help, etc., please feel free to drop me a line any time as well.

Thanks Wolfy,

I just started the business accounts so i'm about ready to spend some money in the near future. I will be looking for computers that have been running with no problems. Systems that have been in the field of battle and have returned home. I ain't looking for no Emachine from Walmart but I also can't afford the James Bond model either.

I will take you up on the help soon.

Thanks

Cap...

You won't get your butt shot for stating an opinion or making us think of a way to improve
