Congratulations to Richard Goddey. He won $1,500 worth of Trigger Event Selling™, services by getting the most votes for his answer to April’s question about how you can use TweetDeck to sell more.

My apologies for taking not announcing April’s winner sooner. I took a 6 week hiatus from blogging to complete the manuscript for my upcoming book with Tibor Shanto “SHiFT! Harness The Trigger Events That TURN PROSPECTS INTO CUSTOMERS.”

Now the book has been completed and I have reached #1 of the top seven ways to sell more by using social media, next week I will begin counting down the top seven Sales 2.0 tools – from a Trigger Event Selling perspective.

In the fast few weeks I have fielded a number of questions about Trigger Event Marketing^™ – how to market using knowledge of Trigger Events.

Here are three resources that I recommend:

1. The Trigger Event Marketingâ„¢ page on Facebook that has some excellent examples and resources
2. Pulling the Trigger on Trigger Marketing: Best Buy and Discover Show How it’s Done – by Jeff Zabin
3. Keys to Trigger Based Email Marketing™ by Michael Thompson

Speaking of marketing, I am giving way eight tickets to The Art of Marketing in Calgary on June 14th.  Complete the form found at http://www.shiftselling.com/events/art-of-marketing/ for your chance to win one of two pairs of tickets or one of the four individual tickets.

Next Tuesday I’ll start my list of the top Sales 2.0 tools and give away $1,500 to the person who gets the most votes for their answer to the question “How can you use the #7 Sales 2.0 sales tool to sell more?”

Until then   …   good luck have an eventful week!

Update: The link to the recording and the handout for this webinar “Timing: The Silver Bullet in Sales” will be emailed to you when you download the ‘Won Sales Analysis” template and instructions.

Join 1,000+ entrepreneurs, business leaders, and sales & marketing professionals at 10:00AM (Pacific) on September 17^th for a no-charge webinar being hosted by JigSaw. During this 30 minute webinar I will prove that there is a Silver Bullet in sales.

Webinar Details -There is a Silver Bullet in Sales

For years you’ve been told that there is no such thing as a silver bullet in sales.

But there is. It’s called timing – getting in front of the right person at EXACTLY the right time.

When you have the right timing the sale almost happens by itself – No challenges getting to the decision maker, understanding their dissatisfaction, presenting a solution, or closing the sale.

In this 30 minute webinar Craig Elias will show you how events that trigger the buying process – Trigger Events – convert someone who never would have bought from you yesterday, into someone highly likely to become your customer today.

When you leverage Trigger Events to get in front of highly motivated, buyers before your competition you dramatically:

• Increase your close ratios
• Shorten your sales cycles
• Sell at higher prices

This no-charge webinar will show you the secrets of getting to decision makers at EXACTLY the right time by:

1. Identifying what the right timing is
2. Learning how to get the right timing
3. Understanding what to do when you do have the right timing

You’ll also learn:

• The three types of Trigger Events that create highly motivated buyers
• The specific Trigger Events that create highly motivated buyers for what you sell

Register even if you can’t make the live webinar so you receive the recording of the webinar and a chance to win $1,500 worth of my time.
