New Book Aimed at Making More Sales During Downturn
Selling is different in a down economy according to Wendy Weiss, author of new book, "The Sales Winner's Handbook." Her book shows salespeople how to engage buyers even in a downturn.
NEW YORK, NY, January 21, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Are there secrets to selling more in today's economy?
Yes, says Wendy Weiss, author of a new book on business development, The Sales Winner's Handbook. "Nothing beats having the skills to engage a prospect in a real conversation," she adds.
"The issue is that most salespeople are not prepared to sell in today's economy," says Weiss. " When calling potential customers, salespeople only have about 10 seconds to grab and hold their prospect's attention. Knowing what to say, and how to say it, is critical to keeping the call alive and the buyer interested."
"This is definitely not the time to be winging it," says Weiss. "This is the time to be prepared with the most compelling sales script you can find or create, and to deliver it with ease and confidence."
Weiss believes salespeople, if properly prepared, can perform successfully during the economic downturn. She teaches methods centered on preparation, practice and focus.
"No matter where you get a lead, whether from networking or a referral or even if someone contacts you directly, at some point you will need to get them to buy," says Weiss, "and if you are prepared to clearly articulate the value of your product or service, your chances of getting the sale are greatly improved."
Weiss wrote The Sales Winner's Handbook to give sale professionals the scripts and strategies she has used successfully over the past 20 years. She's trained thousands of sales professionals at large companies like Avon, ADP and Sprint, as well as small businesses including start-ups.
