The alluring word with sizzling power, is the
word Free.
It should be an absolute requirement to
use it in your leads/attendance generating sales piece. You are
already spending upwards of $30.00 to $150 dollars per each
salesperson to attend. Mention in your recruiting letter that
each attendee has a chance to win a top grade prize. There is no
need to mention the prize, especially the grand prize. Your list
mailed to professional insurance agents offering something free,
can make it too tempting to resist attending.
Just can't resist. Announce shortly into your presentation
that every attendee at the end of the seminar will receive a
gift. All salespeople appreciate knowing that receiving
something for free is worth enduring your seminar.
Sales training CDs, presentation videos, easy to use
software, sales books, illustrative reports, nice pens, unique
sturdy key chains, pocket knives, and tiny flashlights work.
These items are worth every penny, and more. Announce shortly
into your presentation that every attendee at the end of the
seminar will receive a gift. Wisely spending on "glad you
attended freebies" bucks might just assist in recruiting the
salesperson superstar you are looking for. There is no need to
send the additional price of having your name imprinted on the
item. Since they might give it to their spouse, associate, or
child, attaching your business card to the item is more
effective.
Every good agent that produces sales for you should be worth
a minimum of $2,000 in profits. The superstar producer can
easily increase your net income $10,000 or more.
Nail the superstar! Offer a grand prize choice of a couple
items. Items that stimulate excitement are an I-Pod, $60 gift
certificate to a local steak & seafood restaurant, or a $100 gas
card. Mention that only those that sign a contract today are
eligible for the grand prize. See how many more sign up! Reach
your seminar goal of profitable results the easy way.
If signing an additional producing sales person isn't worth
spending another $100 to you, then you are in the wrong
profession.
Should you ever get a chance to attend an introductory car
show of next year's models and concept cars, make sure your butt
is there. You have a front and center chance to observe the
paying attendees stand in line at a both inside. Some are
wearing $500 suits, others earn a six figure income, standing
right among the solid blue collar workers. Observe why they are
willing to waste 15 minutes or more. Energetically they wait to
receive the dollar promotional item the company is giving out.
Everyone from children to millionaires, like to get a free
bonus.
The "F" word works, start using it.
Warning, there is one exception where you should never use
the free word. Instead of obtaining maximum impact you will get
maximum rejection. Every person nowadays has automatic spam
blockers built into their computer email receiving program.
Unless the agent personally removes it, the word free is
considered by most email reader programs to be a spam word. Your
email will automatically be sent to spam before the agent has a
change to read your message.
