Do you feel your sales process isn't as effective in today's technology marketplace? Are you finding more pressure on price?Are you frustrated by the endless "stalls" of prospects? And, does it seem as if some of your new prospects have heard it all before?

If any of this sounds familiar, then join us to hear Ken Smith present new approaches for professional selling and client development. Ken has worked extensively with those in the technology, professional services, and financial industries. His presentation will address the following:

* Why conventional sales approaches for technology and professional services are no longer as effective
* Why traditional selling tactics often turn you into an unpaid consultant
* How to deal with the "think it overs" and the "maybes" that never become clients
* How to qualify prospects quickly by helping them discover why they should, or should not, do business with you
* What self-limiting beliefs and outlooks can keep you from achieving the sales success you deserve

Ken will also present a systematic sales process that is repeatable, predictable, and more powerful than the approaches used by your competition.
