How to Get
the Best Results in Sales
Since 1977, Jack Falvey has been presenting this keynote address to the Fortune 100 at national meetings. Prior to each engagement, he spends a day in the field calling on customers with a meeting participant. They don't send him out with the deadwood, so he has worked with some of the best sales professionals in the world.
This presentation shares what professionals do that makes them so successful. It challenges the audience to apply the same strategy to their own markets and customers.
Content: How professionals build selling skills is addressed using a brief tennis analogy. The audience is asked to participate in a three-minute clinic! The exercise illustrates the point that an overall strategy can apply to all levels, and that skills are developed by being a student of the game on a daily basis.
The time it takes to become a proficient professional is normally greatly underestimated. The task becomes one of making every sales call a "sales training" call.
- The best sales people don't always make the best sales presentations. But they always ask the best questions.
- The best sales people are students of their customers' business and often know more about a customer's situation in their area of expertise than the client themselves!
- The best sales people are students of the selling process and what works best for them with their customers in their marketplace.
- The best sales people are always subject experts. They never stop learning. Current customers provide the best source of application knowledge.
- Without a pre-call objective and a set of closing questions, sales people are merely well paid tourists. Sales professionals know where they are going and how to get there.
The presentation includes a couple of summary handouts and can be recorded with reproduction rights granted to the client organization.
By means of a dialog with the audience (45 to 90 minutes, with 60-70 minutes being ideal), the running time is adjusted with full content being delivered at all lengths.
Fees: $12,000 plus first-class air transportation and hotel accommodations. The advance field day is included on an "expenses only" basis.
