    Advertising Balloons: The Five W's
    The effectiveness of advertising balloons is topped only by the relatively new phenomenon of advertising wrapping. Wrapping, which consists of printing advertising on thin material and literally wrapping it around an object to turn it into a billboard, is extremely costly. Advertising balloons, on the other hand, are extremely affordable. Here, then, is the Who, What, When, Where, and Why of advertising inflatables. Who: Advertising inflatables are relatively inexpensive, and can definitely accommodate even the most modest advertising budget. Advertising balloons allow small- and medium-sized businesses and organizations to compete with their larger counterparts. What: Advertising inflatables include advertising balloons,

    Rethink Your Career Transition
    Are you going nowhere in your career? If you’ve decided it’s time to change your career completely, here’s a new way of changing!Before you jump ship, think about what’s been happening in your career. Have you been making little or no progress for some time? You may be in the throes of what George Leonard, author of Mastery, calls the “plateau”. Leonard argues that we master something with a series of one intense upward growth spurt followed by a long period of nearly flat growth – a plateau. In this age of “what have you done for me lately”, you may have just tired of being on the plateau. Before you chuck your old career, decide whether it no longer works for you or whether you’ve just tired of being on the plateau. If y
    I travel the country teaching owners of security alarm companies how to be much more productive. Before I can introduce an alarm company to our field proven methods of marketing their products, it is important to analyze the methods they are accustomed to using and why they continue to use them.

    My training programs are specific to the security alarm business, so when I run into a common problem that is costing dealers and representatives of alarm companies many man hours, it is easily identified.

    There are some consistent problems that I see over and over again, wherever I go and I’ll share a major fault with you. It seems that sales representatives would rather spend a full day running around and looking for the customer that was considering a security system and pulls them into a sale.

    This long cycle sale concept is the number one waste of production and always brings mediocrity at best to the bottom line. A properly trained alarm consultant will make a customer out of 75% of the people they have an opportunity to educate, so instead of looking for a “lay down sale” they simply find a home or business owner to educate. The best representatives will achieve this on a single visit.

    A sales representative will often be on an agenda and does not take the opportunity to properly educate the consumer one step at a time. This process is a product of poor training, low expectations or standards and little if any accountability. The complete training program is rare these days and often delivered by some corporate mouthpiece that has little or no experience in our field. The proper training will train the trainer how to teach, grow, make the representative responsible to a higher standard and create accountability controls.

    If your representatives don’t fully understand the intricacies and processes of the eight steps to a proper alarm sale, they are missing the boat and playing a numbers game. Following is an outline of the complete 8 step process and a representative should never proceed to the next step without proper performance of each.

    Distance Yourself from Your Competition
    Competitors. No matter what industry or what products and services you may be selling, you undoubtedly have competition. At times, this fact may cause you considerable distress, while, in reality, our competitors keep us on our toes, always forcing us to further refine our message and methods in the hopes of ultimately winning the sale. So… thank you Mr. Competitor. We appreciate your efforts!Our view of the competition, while varying at times, is our key to responsive selling and keeping our efforts focused where they should be… on the customer. Our competitors really do keep us sharp. We must know their strengths and weaknesses as well or better than we know our own. We must truly understand their products and services from our custom
