Re: 3 Ways Getting Involved In Community Service Can Help Copier Sales Reps Enhance Their Sales Success
If you want to sell $500K per year, then join your local chamber of commerce, however if you really want to sell one million or more, the join those high profile charities in your geo area. Get involved, donate time and knowledge, within a year or less you'll be rubbing elbows with the most influential "C" level execs in your area. TY Larry, you took the words right outta my mouth on this one!

Re: 3 Ways Getting Involved In Community Service Can Help Copier Sales Reps Enhance Their Sales Success
Larry, I missed this blog post. I completely agree with everything you stated. It is hard at times for people to not think about what they will get for themselves out of volunteering at certain times. Personally, I volunteer for several charities, organizations, and causes and eventually people take notice and board seats start coming open and business starts coming back to you. It is not quick but when you get "in" with the crowd you will most often times be rewarded with business all the...

Re: Selling Copiers "Reading Between the Lines"
Art, this article is a quandary that I'm sure everyone's experiencing more of. It's often you field the email request or phone request with the information they think they need and "just send me a quote". Unless they're a solid customer I almost always push for and get the appointment. I usually leave a voicemail, but not with the information requested, typically I ask for a call back and then also follow that up with a quick email saying I left a voicemail, give me a call back. I can attest...

Re: Selling Copiers "Reading Between the Lines"
Art, well put and so true. We have to use the technology advances of email and vmail to keep up with the pace. We have to be very careful on choosing between the live personal transaction or electronic. First, if someone doesn't know who you are through a preceding live chat, there can be misinterpretation of what you leave them. They may not know how to take it, or ignore it regardless if the message conveys value. We always need to take into account that we don't know when an electronic...

Re: Selling Copiers "Reading Between the Lines"
In the scenario your VP asked you about, I would let them know our typically delivery/install process and the associated timelines and would ask if they would like me to email them the necessary paperwork or schedule a time to review it together. If the contact says yes, we're likely moving forward in the process. If he says no, it makes it easy for me to find out why he is asking & gives me a platform for uncovering and addressing his objections. I would withhold any mention of...
