A Lifetime of Leads
 

OVERVIEW: 

A Lifetime of Leads presents nine proven methods for developing a solid and growing prospect base . . . without cold calling.  It has been designed and structured for sales professionals and business owners at all levels of experience — from the most novice to the most accomplished.  During the program, participants will gain new skills, develop new strategies and renew their enthusiasm as they explore several practical alternatives to traditional telemarketing — 500 insights in total.

A Lifetime of Leads training programs are available in many formats ranging from a 60-minute keynote address to a 9-day program series. For example, a 3-hour seminar can introduce and provide an overview of the core methods for lead generation, or can be tailored to focus on one method of particular interest to the audience.  Not only will participants learn ‘what to do,’ they will also learn ‘how to do it’ — with concrete clear steps for more effectively generating leads.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This program is ideal for business owners as well as all novice to veteran sales professionals engaged in relationship-oriented selling — and a valuable experience for anyone who is engaged in building more effective business relationships.
