An Introduction to Sales Training
Bill Anderson
This session will consist of 4 parts:
1. First we will work through the concept of being a specialist. Business owners want to work with an agent who knows their business. The only way an agent can do that is to narrow down their focus and become a specialist in a few types of businesses.
2. Now that I know what I am going after, how do I find them? This will focus on using tools available to get a list of the businesses in the areas selected.
3. Once we have that list it important to prioritize them so that the prospecting that will follow can be most productive.
4. The last element is to establish a marketing plan to reach the ones you have chosen to reach.
