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.

P.S. On September 2^nd the winners of the four tickets for the Art of Sales happening in Calgary on September 25^th – Terry Tudor (1 ticket), Tammy Dowd (1 ticket), and Kae Shoommugum (2 tickets) – were notified by email as were the rest of the over 120 who entered their name in the draw.

One of the biggest challenges in sales is to get your foot in the door and have that first meeting.

To make that challenge less daunting I have partnered with Jill Konrath and three other thought leaders on the teleseminar series Get Your Foot In The Door, that starts this Thursday.

The Get Your Foot In The Door series brings together the following thought leaders:

• Selling to Big Companies expert Jill Konrath
• Cold calling expert Leslie Buterin
• Trigger Event expert Craig Elias
• Lead Generation expert Marguerite McLeod-Fleming
• Communications expert Mark Bowden

Sign up for each teleseminar individually. Or, for the best value, sign up for the entire series. All programs are recorded, so if you miss the event or want to listen to it again, you’ll be able to. You’ll be sent a link to download the audio after the session.

Individual teleseminars are $79

Save $117 by registering for all 4 Get Your Foot In The Door teleseminars

As a strong supporter of Jill’s work, and a speaker in the series, I am giving away 1 hour of my Trigger Event expertise to everyone who registers for the Get Your Foot In The Door series via the link Jill has created for me.

Have an eventful week!

After finally getting the SHiFT blog back up and running last week I had a number of phone calls and emails about two things:

1. When is your next free teleseminar on Trigger Events
2. Why does the email I get have links to past events.

1) The next free trigger event sales seminar “Six Ways to Outsell Your Competition” is Monday December 10th @ 10:00AM Pacific, 11:00AM Mountain, 1:00 Eastern. The registration link for this seminar can be found at http://sixways.eventbrite.com.

2) When the Feedblitz service send out notification of updates it automatically included links to previous posts under the heading of “Most Recent Articles”. Any reference to teleseminars in this section of the notices send out via Feedblitz will be from events that have probably already happened because they were posted several weeks ago.

Trigger Event Resources to Consider

Each week I scour the Internet searching for ideas, resources, articles, and success stories about leveraging Trigger Events to outsell the competition. This week the best resource I found is the article Identify The Compelling Event, By Gene Meskill

Please contact me when you have ideas, resources, or success stories about leveraging ‘Trigger Events‘ – aka selling triggers – that you want to share.

Have an eventful week!
