Review what the class just learned….
Transition – lets see what does work
9:30 – 10:30
Corresponds to page 45 in Playbook
Before you get going:
Split the class in to teams of four. If you are having them move around be sure that they are sitting as teams before you get going
WHITEBOARD a list of words that best describe your company that the class thinks up…these are your anchor words
By team, each person has two votes and can vote for their favorite anchor words. Don’t let them linger some may. Once this is complete, you’ll have a list of most popular anchors words. Assign these to each team.
Rules:
No team can use another team’s anchor word
The use of your company name is forbidden
The use of the word “help” is forbidden
Facilitate – you’ll need to make a few passes to make sure they are on the right track
Its important to give a few examples (Sybase and two from us)
10:30 Break – after break…go around the room and have them deliver and comment on each others’ Elevator Pitches
After WHITEBOARD you can bring up this list as examples of where you can find new sources of leads
At this point you should be around noon (lunch) – good time for a break
Transition – when we get back from lunch we will be creating these powerful WYWYN email’s and will even be getting responses in class
After asking them to fill out their own list bring up bulleted list here.

BRING UP SLIDE -- Does anyone read Sales & Marketing Magazine?
SMM did a year long study on the number of cold calls it takes to get a deal going. This is across all industries over 30 days.
They found that only 48% make that first call
what does that tell you? – over half rep’s are not doing their job!
3) Move down each bullet -- How are the numbers looking? – BAD
If you had your hand up over 4 touches/month (all you stalkers out there ;)….congratulations, you are in the top 3% of all sales people
CONCLUSION – need to make 5 unique touches in 30/days
It takes persistence and resilience
Note: some people might challenge this
Highlight ‘unique touches’
If you call them with the same message then it becomes stalking
