| TOPICS and/or TITLES SALES, MARKETING, BUSINESS
Since Mike's whole background is in the field of sales, business and management, he
relishes those speaking opportunities that enable him to work with salespeople, (retail or
outside), business executives or entrepreneurs. Mike worked
with and knew such well-known
consultants as: J. Douglas Edwards, Charles Cullen, Elmer Wheeler and Ken McFarland, all of
whom have since passed away. He is one of the very few people who Zig Ziglar asked to
provide outside input on his best selling book, SECRETS OF CLOSING THE SALE. Thus, you can
be assured that Mike speaks with authority on any phase of the sales process.
Mike can speak for:
- Outside Sales
- Retail Sales
- Trade show sales
Among the topics he can include in any sales or marketing
directed presentation are:
- Prospecting skills
- Building rapport/positive relationships with clients
- Organization/Time Management
- Qualifying the prospect
- Making an effective presentation
- Overcoming objections
- Closing the sale
- Follow up after presentations
- Marketing goes way beyond selling
- Getting and using testimonials
- Creative marketing and sales concepts
Since many of Mike's speeches are to sales groups who only have
45-60 minutes of time to allow, Mike will make the presentation motivational and humorous,
but include the phase of selling and/or marketing that is most important to the client.
