1. Elite Training Systems Sales, Communication and Leadership Training for Business Owners and Sales Professionals

2. Does a formalized structured sales training program work? Ask Xerox, IBM, UPS, Bell Canada, the Major Banks, and Insurance Companies. For that matter ask any large successful organization!

3. Better yet,… … ask your competitor, because if they are training their sales staff and you’re not, they are likely eating your lunch!

4. What Most Businesses Tell Themselves Training doesn’t work – you’ve either got it, or you don’t! Our company can’t financially afford a Professional Sales Trainer or Training Program! There isn’t enough time for us to pull our people out of the field! Training only provides a short-term “feel good” results with no long-term improvements.

5. The Reality Training works, but only if you work the training, therefore accountability is a must! Your people need to master the basic skills and therefore, you can’t afford not to train your Sales Team! You need a proven program that requires a minimal time commitment for the members of your sales team. The program must provide follow-up testing and demand accountability on behalf of the participants.

6. The Solution Partner with SMP Strategies and make us your outsourced professional sales training department. Work with us to tailor our programs to the specific needs of your sales force. Deliver customized Elite Training Systems Workshops at a facility of your choosing!

7. The Solution (continued) Minimize your per person financial commitment to as low as $99.67 (based on a team of 15) to a maximum of $249.17 (based on a team of 6). The client has control over a skill questionnaire and accountability assignment post workshop to ensure results. Benefit from our expertise to put other systems, measures and expectations in place to leverage the program.

8. The Justification The knowledge gained will increase confidence and boost sales activity. New sales opportunities that lead to revenues will pay for the training investment many times over. Techniques and ideas presented will encourage the introduction of new productive and profitable habits. Your team members will appreciate the time and financial investment that you are making in them.

9. The Justification (continued) A new degree of maturity and acceptance of responsibilities will be apparent as there is an awakening in certain individuals. The sales training and coaching will be an invaluable asset! The program will help you identify those who are not capable of grasping necessary concepts and address the issue before too much time, energy and financial resources are invested in them. The motivation from each session will be priceless!

14. Customized On-Site Training Public Workshops Key Note Presentations Sales and Business Coaching

15. SMP Strategies Our Training Philosophy Deliver information that makes sense - make it simple - to the point - provide examples to connect the dots. Get participants involved - encourage participation - make it interactive. Make it easy to retain the information - deliver half-day sessions and let the participant go out and apply what they have learned. Make them accountable - have them complete a short written test after the session and also an accountability assignment over the next two to four weeks.

16. Ensuring the Effectiveness of Training The Training Materials are top quality and we are constantly updating and improving upon them. Our facilitator has over 18 years of hands on sales experience combined with 8 years of training and coaching experience. The training locations that we select are easily accessible and conducive to a positive learning experience. We use state of the art equipment in our public workshops.

17. Ensuring the Effectiveness of Training At the conclusion of each session the participants must complete a test and we provide the answers to the client. The customer must supply a willing student “the raw material” who is prepared to get out of his/her comfort zone and implement the training. Management support and reinforcement afterwards is crucial – there must be an expectation that they will apply the info. We provide the employer or manager with an Accountability Assignment to be completed by the participant in the two to four weeks following the training session. At this point we require your cooperation to set goals and objectives, track the professional development and sales results to ensure ongoing success.

26. Testimonials from Clients SMP Strategies has had a significant positive impact on our sales professionals at Execulink Telecom. Marshall Northcott collaborated with us in the delivery of a structured program that helped build the confidence and improve the effectiveness of our entire Business Sales team. Both our newer sales team members as well as those who had received previous training enthusiastically embraced the concepts from the sessions. Marshall applied the knowledge he built of our organization with our Residential Sales team who immediately delivered increased sales results. The energy and professionalism that Marshall has brought to all of his interactions with Execulink Telecom has helped us in our constant quest to deliver an excellent customer experience and produce strong business results. Steve Bryant, Vice-President, Sales & Customer Service Execulink Telecom www.execulink.ca

27. Testimonials from Clients I had meetings with many potential trainers to formulate a better employee training program. I had very limited success because it seemed that most had a canned package and that is not what I wanted. Then Marshall contacted me and we agreed to meet and discuss my plan that would offer us the flexibility in training of our sales and internal teams. Dealing with Marshall was easy! He was well prepared, confident and relaxed and my management team and I quickly came to the decision that Marshall was the one we wanted. He then presented an excellent training plan that worked for us. Marshall has now completed 11 workshops for the sales and internal teams at Burkert starting in 2005 with the most recent one held in November 2007. We have used Marshall in other areas such as employee functions where he can interact with the staff and this has been very successful as well. Marshall has done a great job for the management and staff at Burkert and I would not hesitate in recommending him and his team to guide your people to higher professional levels. Jerry Dunn, CEO, Burkert Contromatic Inc.

28. Testimonials from Clients Marshall worked in partnership with Fanshawe College to deliver a Sales Symposium to business clients in 2008. He delivered 4- 1/2 day workshops covering 2 full days of sales training. Marshall has the ability to engage all the participants in a non threatening environment. His natural charisma, outgoing and relaxed personality contributes to a wonderful learning and sharing environment. He keeps his workshops moving using "true-life" examples from his prior sales career. The feedback from participants was outstanding! I would highly recommend Marshall to facilitate and lead a sales training program. Deb Masters, Corporate Training Consultant

29. Testimonials from Clients SMP Strategies delivers the customized training materials using an interactive presentation style that grabs the audience's attention and encourages participation. Marshall listens to feedback and then relates to the audience by providing real life examples that apply to the individual participants. Each training module is loaded with relevant content that emphasize the development of useful skills. Marshall gets people involved and makes the sessions exciting to attend! If you are looking for someone who is results oriented and can motivate, encourage and create belief in people Marshall is an excellent candidate. Energy and enthusiasm are traits that he brings to your company. Based on what I know of Marshall Northcott and SMP Strategies, I would highly recommend him as a Sales Trainer or Public Speaker. Bill Zinger, President www.kissner.com

At the end of each of our sessions we provide the employer or manager with the answers to a test that has been provided to the participant. In addition we provide you with an Accountability Assignment that we recommend you have your sales representative complete in the weeks following the session. You should work with them to establish goals and objectives related to the session and then measure the results to make certain they are meeting the expectation.
