Program Highlights
Duration: 47 Minutes (2006)
![]() A persuasive sales approach should be built around a dominant psychological element; you’ve got to convince people of the benefits of what you’re selling, and show them that they really need it. The way you structure a sales presentation can determine its outcome as well as your overall success. This program will teach you how to deliver a credible, attention-getting sales pitch that drives people to buy. Once you’ve developed a rapport, you can continue building a relationship that will keep customers in your fold for years to come.
![]() Negotiations have two dimensions: the creation of value, and the claiming of that value. Negotiators often focus on the value-claiming side, destroying value-creation opportunities in the process. Professor Neale describes the disastrous outcomes that result when negotiators' antagonism and pride obscure their own best interests. She explains how to focus instead on three critical data points: your reservation price, your aspiration price, and your best alternatives to an agreement. You can get a great deal—or you can walk away. Either way, you win. $99.99 [Add to Cart]![]() Novice and experienced salespeople alike will benefit from these activities which focus on strengthening essential selling skills.

![]() Even though everyone negotiates in daily life as well as in business, it is clear that resources are often left "on the table." Contracts and outcomes are not always in the best interests of the negotiator, and there is no real systematic assessment of the quality of the negotiating behavior. Professor Neale identifies systematic ways to increase the quality of negotiated agreements, including methods of preparation and use of rational assumption, bidding, and decision criteria. $99.99 [Add to Cart]![]() Successful brands adapt to the changing needs of their customers. They grow from their base of brand-loyal return buyers who support price premiums and healthy profit margins. By investing this additional cash in further brand building, they create a "virtuous circle" that carries them through inevitable downturns. A strong brand guides overall strategy and acts as an ambassador for entering new markets and launching new products that will succeed as long as they continue to build on core brand values.

Formats: DVD ![]() Mike Bosworth's approach to selling emphasizes respect for the prospect. He explains that everyone wants to buy—but nobody wants to be sold. Bosworth first learned this lesson at Xerox. There, sales productivity peaked after 18 months on the job, when the sales professionals knew the Xerox line so well that they could recommend the proper solution long before the customer finished explaining the problem. Customers found themselves being told what to do, and sales dropped. Bosworth advises that the best sales strategies allow customers to sell themselves on your solutions. $99.99 [Add to Cart]![]() Traditional pricing methods involve a trade-off. You want to charge as much as you can in order to maximize profits, but not so much that there is a negative impact on sales. So when a customer rejects your price, does it mean that the price is too high? Maybe not, says Tom Nagle. Price levels are only the visible "tip of the iceberg" in pricing strategy. Nagle explains that in order to get customers to pay for value, you have to do more than just set a value-based price. You must proactively manage your markets with communications that justify your price in terms of value. You need to offer service packages that customers recognize as providing extra value. And you need to manage a price structure that tracks with value, and a pricing process that forces customers to acknowledge value with their pocketbooks. Tom Nagle is the author of the seminal work "The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing."

![]() In the time-honored tradition of the maxim, "It's not how you play the game, but whether you win or lose," best-selling author Guy Kawasaki presents the definitive take-no-prisoners guide for Davids to beat Goliaths. This presentation is a top-ten countdown of irreverent and sometimes extreme stratagems in sales, marketing, production, and human resources that will help your organization get and keep the upper hand. Guy Kawasaki is managing director of Garage Technology Ventures as well as a columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine. Kawasaki was a key individual responsible for the success of the Apple Macintosh computer and was named an Apple Fellow in 1995. Kawasaki has authored eight books, including "The Macintosh Way," "How to Drive Your Competition Crazy," "Selling the Dream," and "Rules for Revolutionaries."
![]() Through the use of anecdotes and humor, Guy Kawasaki explains the power of "evangelism" in sales and marketing. Instead of just selling, evangelism means you're converting people—to your product, company, or idea. It means using fervor, zeal, guts and cunning to mobilize people to believe as you do and to work together to make major changes. Drawing examples from his experiences in the computer industry, he focuses on the steps and skills necessary "to do the right things and do things right." $99.99 [Add to Cart]![]() In business or otherwise, you probably do some form of negotiation every single day.
