"Just give us some brochures." Prospects might say they want them. Sales forces request them all the time. But they’re expensive, time-consuming and worst of all, mostly ineffective. Too often they go in your prospect’s "circular file." And your prospect remains outside your sales pipeline.

Fortunately, there’s a better way – many better ways, in fact. In this 90-minute session, you’ll discover simple, inexpensive tactics for turning your expertise into collateral prospects really want to read. Collateral that establishes your company’s authority in its field. Collateral that builds credibility in your prospects’ minds – and moves them closer to the actual sale.

What Participants Said

Of the participants who evaluated this seminar, 92% would recommend it to a colleague. Some of their comments:

"Lots of good actionable ideas."

"Is useful to someone who is challenged with what type of marketing collateral to use, when, how, etc."

"Specificity made it worth every minute. Having the handout in advance -- particularly since it has lots of valuable (and again, specific) illustrations -- is very nice. Also, I took away actionable ideas about how to overcome lack of case studies for new businesses. Really appreciated the level of expertise and command of the subject that Jonathan brings to this topic."

"This is the seminar to take in if you want to make your marketing and sales copy have impact and meaning...enough that customers would trust you and value what you say."
