"Saying
You're a Promotional Consultant Doesn't Make it So"
Dear
Top Secrets Subscriber,
For
years, I have publicly stated that industry professionals
should focus their efforts on becoming advisors and
consultants rather than distributors.
In
fact, a quote from my 2004 book The Power of Promotional
Products says:
"While
the word 'distributor' is the most commonly used term
for those who recommend and sell promotional products,
we have deliberately chosen. not to use it
here.
"Clearly,
there are some in the industry who do nothing but
distribute products that are conceived, researched,
manufactured, designed, decorated and imprinted by
others. For them, the term distributor may be appropriate.
However, the word is highly inadequate, and
in that sense unfair to those who have actually
made a profession of creating, refining, recommending
and delivering promotional solutions to the clients
who need them."

In Recent Years, The Entire Industry has Attempted to
Replace the Term "Distributor" with "Promotional Consultant"
Great
Idea! But If We Simply Change the Term Without
Changing the Behavior, the Entire Effort is
a Waste.
"A
trashman can suddenly start referring to himself
as a 'sanitation engineer.' But unless he changes
his behavior, he'll continue to be perceived
as a trashman..."
What
you call yourself is not nearly as important
as what you do and perhaps more importantly,
how you do it.
After
all, typical product distributors contact prospects,
make presentations and close sales. They just
do it completely differently than true
promotional advisors!
Now the Real Question:
Will You Merely Call Yourself a Promotional
Advisor or Actually Become One?
Since
1998, Top Secrets of Promotional Products
Sales has helped to transform typical distributors
into true promotional advisors. We do this by
providing you with all the necessary tools and
strategies you need.
