"Step 3 of the Straight Line Approach: Present Professionally"

Dear Top Secrets Subscriber,

For the past few weeks in this column, we've been examining the straight line approach to selling:

Prospect Constantly, Qualify Quickly, Present Professionally and Follow Up Methodically.
Then Repeat...

This week we pick up with step three, Present Professionally.

I think it's safe to say that most salespeople in our industry feel good about their own approach. And while many do a good job of recommending products and taking orders, there is quite a bit more to it than that.


Top Secrets Author, Entrepreneur & Business Consultant, David Blaise

There is a Huge Difference Between a Presentation that is Good or "Adequate" and One that is Truly Professional

And the one place where those differences are most noticeable is in the paychecks of those giving the presentations.

The best sales presentations, by their very nature, generate the most money because they are effective. They are effective at examining customer needs, diagnosing promotional issues and problems, weighing all available options and then providing intelligent and thoughtful solutions.

Many clients are in the dark when it comes to creating promotions that work, because they have never done it. After all, that's not their job, that's our job. So the best presentations enlighten the prospect with specific recommendations on both what do to and how to do it. They convey the genuine enthusiasm of the sales professional, and they create orders, reorders and referrals.

While Many Would Love to be Able to Accomplish All This
with a Typical Sales Approach... It's Impossible

That level of performance requires something more than just adequate, typical or competent. Truly top grade, profitable, professional sales presentations require above average effort, energy, preparation and execution.

These are the marks of a professional. And they don't happen by accident.
