Sales Presentations that SELL!

Below is an article from RMR’s President and CEO Robyn Sachs that shows the value of effective sales presentations and serves as a great resource for companies looking to enhance their business.   Sales Presentations that Sell! At the top of the RMR Marketing Pyramid is sales calls- the most expensive marketing method but also potentially the most effective.  Assuming you aren’t cold calling door-to-door, once you’re in a sales call you have narrowed down and qualified the lead to the point that you know you’ll be presenting to a potential customer.  Now it’s up to you to close the deal with a dynamite sales presentation that makes them eager to buy what you’re selling.  From PowerPoint presentations to webinars, the point is to enhance your message, not obscure it.   Whoa!  What do they need to know? It’s easy to get carried away and overwhelmed by colors and fonts and music and special effects.  But even a whiz-bang presentation can leave viewers wondering what the whole thing meant – and that means you wasted your time and money putting it together.  So the first step is to ask yourself this one question: What do they need to know to [...]

Integrating your Sales and Marketing

As a majority of businesses, especially small businesses, have had to cut back over the past 2 years, one strategy we keep hearing about is that companies are combining their sales and marketing efforts into one.  This may solve issues of budget and possibly staffing, but we’ve found that it does not necessarily help drive both programs nor does it lead to the best results. While your marketing efforts help brand your product and gain awareness, it is rare that the marketing efforts alone will help sell your product. These are two separate items that need to work together. It is your sales team’s job to step in and take what the marketing team has done and turn that into actual sales.   Here is a great resource for you from RMR’s President and CEO Robyn Sachs, who in  this article, “The Magic of Sales and Marketing Integration,” offers tips for how the sales and marketing staff can work together most effectively, including: Understand your sales funnel Prioritize your leads Have an awesome preheat letter Present proposals in person Stop doing what doesn’t work By using these steps and more, you will be able to integrate your sales and marketing efforts, [...]

The Rules of Collateral: Sell, Sell, Sell!

President and CEO of RMR, Robyn Sachs tells it how it is when it comes to the importance of using fabulous brochures, flyers and products to sell your product. Now, more then ever, we are stressing the importance that regardless of what the product may be, it is crucial that your company provide a compelling brochure to a prospective customer in order to generate the return you are looking for. Some tried and true tips that RMR recommends when creating the ultimate brochure include:  Start selling on the cover. Sell benefits, not features. Add photos to make it real. Give it the “Heads, Subheads, Captions” test. Sell, Sell, Sell! Follow these steps and you are on the high road to success. It is no longer enough to just show up to trade shows, or line up sales calls. What you need to do is provide the prospect with a polished and impressive product that they can walk away with, leaving a lasting impression. Feel free to check out Robyn Sachs’ article “The First Rule of Collateral: Sell, Sell, Sell” addressing this idea in its entirety! Does your company offer a brochure that truly sells for you?

Kick-off to the Trade Show Season

Our answer to that is hit the Trade Show circuit!   Trade Shows are a great opportunity for companies to interact one-on-one with their customers and fellow industry colleagues.

Whether you’re a vet or a newbie to trade shows, it’s worth taking a moment to ask yourself the Who-What-When-Where-Why and How questions so you’ll be sure you have the right show, the right message, and the right methods to achieve your goals.   We invite you to check out an article from Robyn Sachs, President & CEO of RMR, on Trade Show marketing, titled, "The Who-What-When- Where- Why and How of Trade Show Marketing."
