A how-to especially for small law firm marketers presented by Jennifer Yeager and Amy Smith. Presented as a webinar for the Legal Marketing Association in July 2007.
This is a presentation I use regularly to talk to individuals and groups about the importance of being well prepared and following a disciplined process if you are thinking of buying a business. The presentation provides context and framework, raises questions for reflection, and provides guidance for some important preparatory steps.

The world of selling has changed drastically over the last few years. One of the biggest challenges is gaining access to the right people and presenting your solution with impact. To optimize your prospecting efforts, focus on the key activities needed to achieve your sales targets. Gain clarity on the type of clients you are looking for.
Most importantly, learn how to gain access and start a meaningful sales conversation with them. PJ Nisbet, ValueSelling Associates Managing Partner, EMEA, leads this complimentary webinar and will draw from his savvy business leadership, proven sales performance and people development expertise. He has trained over 1000 individuals on the ValueSelling Framework® in the past 12 months, and brings a unique international perspective based on his experiences living in the US, UK and South Africa.
Too many people view partnerships as a form of sales. While similar, partnerships are much more involved. Here are a few tips for cultivating strategic partnerships that can generate growth and lead to long term revenue growth.
Small business marketing relies on an understanding of the fundamentals. You must master these basis notions so that you can communicate with and educate your ideal clients. Stop wasting your time talking to the wrong people, for the wrong reasons.
Future is what you create! Most leaders like Eber Devine believes that challenges and success are two sides of the same coin and we couldn’t agree more. Furthermore, they say, who understand and follow this simple quote are heading to become a great leader.
DO YOU HAVE A FEAR OF ASKING QUESTIONS DURING SALES?jerianasmith
I spend about 80% of my time working with sales professionals to perfect their ability to structure the questions that need to be asked. They all understand the importance of asking questions but need some assistance in creating their own tailored versions. Salesmen often enjoy the exercise of deciphering which questions uncover the compelling reasons the prospect should do business with them. We all need to ask clients questions concerning budget, the decision-making process, and what the next steps should be. Even rapport and relationship building are best built by asking questions. People like to talk about themselves; if you keep the questions coming, you are more likely to make a positive impact on your prospects.
THE NEED FOR A SALES PROCESS
PROBLEM
The results of a recent study conducted by The Sales Board confirmed what we have known for some time. Prospects are speaking up about how they feel about salespeople who are less than professional. We thought that you would like to see these statistics as they reinforce the need for a sales process and challenge you to improve your qualifying efforts.
DIAGNOSIS
The study showed the following startling facts. Can you relate to them as a salesperson or as a buyer?
Fact: 82% of salespeople fail to differentiate
Result: They lose the business, fail to sell value
Fact: 86% of salespeople ask the wrong questions.
Result: They miss selling opportunities and end up wasting time while appearing unprofessional.
Fact: Only 18% of salespeople close without discounting price.
Result: Discounting becomes a habit and profit margins are eroded.
Fact: 95% of customers say salespeople talk too much.
Result: Customers are bored and feel salespeople don’t care about understanding their problems.
Fact: 62% of salespeople do not earn the right to ask questions.
Result: They fail to position the sale properly and don’t gain commitment.
Fact: 85% of salespeople use a selling process that is extremely ineffective, compared to the buyer’s system.
Result: They close less than 50% of the business that they should close, with disastrous effects on their companies’ sales and their personal incomes. You may be ‘winging it’ if you find yourself relating to any of the following: (a) chasing prospects who don’t return calls; (b) hearing ‘think it over’ all too often when you ask for the business; (c) cutting price in an effort to obtain or keep business; and (d) spending most of your time in front of people who are not decision makers.
SOLUTION
1. Stop assuming that your prospect needs what you’re selling.
2. Learn how to ask more questions to see if the prospect has any serious ‘pain’ issues that your product or service can resolve.
3. Learn a sales process to help you stay in control of the sales interview.
