The Best Way to Increase Your Revenues and Marketshare! (more)

Companies waste billions of dollars annually confusing sales messaging with other messaging types such as company messaging, brand messaging, and product messaging. If your company does not differentiate sales messaging from these other messaging types, it’s very likely that you are literally wasting millions of dollars in higher sales and marketing costs, lost revenue and missed targets every year. Sales messaging is designed to provide persuasive answers to each of your buyer’s primary buying questions, for each of the products and services you offer and delivers these messages at the appropriate point in the product life cycle and sales cycle. Learn how you can use great sales messaging as a tool to improve your messaging quality and dramatically improve the effectiveness of all your sales and marketing activities.

 

“Michael is a high-energy speaker and a crowd-pleaser.

The topic is of great value to those working with outbound messaging.”

Greg Cohen, Director, Silicon Valley Product Management Association



Increase Your Sales Team’s Performance by 25% or More! (more)

You can waste hundreds of thousands of dollars using the common remedy for improving an underperforming sales team or you can save yourself years of frustration, increase your sales, and make a lot more money faster using the proven solution presented in this session. The typical remedy is to replace sales reps and, if that does not work, replace the sales manager, who then replaces more reps. Throwing bodies at the problem is rarely effective because the system in which the sales force works is usually broken. Fix the system and most of the sales reps in your team will increase their sales dramatically, while your hiring, training and ramping-up cost will drop significantly. A strategic sales plan properly developed and deployed will optimize your sales system and increase your revenues by 25% or more over the next 12 to 24 months.

“What Michael did for us was extraordinary. He helped us grow sales over 1,300% in 12 months.”
David James Clarke IV, Co-Founder, Logilent Learning Systems, Inc.

Chief Rainmaker to Chief Executive Officer: Build Your High-Performing Sales Team (more)

Save yourself years of angst, increase your sales and make a lot more money faster. The transition from Chief Rainmaker to Chief Executive Officer is an arduous, often perilous, rite of passage. While it may seem counterintuitive that the company’s best salesperson might be struggling to build a successful sales organization, it’s true more often than not. Without understanding the reasons for this seeming conundrum and what to do about it, many owners waste tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on failed attempts. Break the frustrating cycle of "hire, fire, and repeat." Attend this session.

 “Great speaker! Totally validated the owner’s struggle and provided a practical ‘how to’ roadmap.”
Paul Witkay, CEO, Alliance of CEOs

The 5 Keys to a Successful Investor-Centric Presentation

What is the real goal of an investor presentation? What is the primary question that investors want answered? Knowing the answers to these questions and how to develop a presentation that speaks to these points in a compelling and persuasive way can get you funded faster and at a higher valuation. Stop wasting time and meetings pitching with a weak message.

"Impressive! It was well worth the time and money.”
Ty Shipman, CIO/CTO, Co-Founder, Kagi
