How is as important as what,
And why "more" is a dangerous approach.* |
The talents and capabilities of your company will not be
experienced by enough end users, if you are not successful
at closing more projects. Our job as your rep and
vendor liaison, is to work as part of the team to support
your way of doing business.
Vetted tools, tips and insights are key parts of this
equation.
Let us:
Help you craft language and unimpeachable pitches for
specific competitive instances.
Create analogous ways to clarify your message.
Increase your confidence to avoid the "more" trap. (more
control, features, functions, discount, etc., etc., etc.)
Encourage the creativity and abilities of you and your
entire team.
Make this a fun and profitable relationship with
demonstrably better performance results and increased
margins.
To get started simply choose which Steven Lester Co.
brand (s) you wish to support, and set up a meeting to
outline your specific needs.
Some common areas we
can help with:
Just about any and all aspects of
high performance audio, two piece projection;
history and relevant technologies, advantages of reflected
light, uniformity and colorometry, human perception, film
projection and telecine, field of vision, ambient light,
screen size, shape and materials, demonstration and closing
tools.
Category specific training. IE; Selling Cable,
better installed audio, or any step up selling in audio or
video. It's common for companies to hit "glass
ceilings" or give up on an important category owing to many
factors.
Putting my
money where my mouth is:
Many dealers
have stated that Steven Lester has helped them sell more of
given products and brands, in particular, some well known
local video brands, than the rep for those brands, or even
the "factory" training which they provide. We are in
earnest when we state that it is our goal to try to help
make everyone better. It is our belief that consumers
benefit form owning better things, but that the work to break
down normal reservations takes tools, patience and practice.
A training
created several years ago to help experienced audio sales
people to incorporate their skills is selling video can be
downloaded for review
here.
"Right click save as" It's a pretty big file
containing examples gleaned from many sources. Please
use for review only, and understand, this was created when
high end video was CRT. (This was created on my PC,
not my Mac, so it will only fully display on Windows
machines, sorry.)
This type on
in depth process, combined with top quality products, deep
margins, and industry leading personnel, is why Steven
Lester Co. deserves your support.
* We are not born with
preferences, they must be learned. Appreciation is not
effete, snobbery, or reserved for the "fund laden."
Understanding, passion and enthusiasm are far too nuanced
for sound byte selling. Tools for longer, deeper
success are the mainstay of the Steven Lester Co. stable.

Listen and watch |
| Assume that every customer has been shown and
pitched using industry standard practices.
They have seen
big clear pictures and heard a loud TV demo.

But, they haven't bought........ |
What did the
"other guys" miss?
|
|
Ask, ask, ask. |
Why should they buy from me?
