Business selling skills

[NETT Darren]

Just wanted to test the water between all you guys on here, there are many posts on here where people are struggling to get the work, you have done your training but just on tiling, what you may be lacking is the sales skills, marketing and motavational skills to become successfull, my family ran a successfull business and passed on the key skills to me at a very early stage in my life and i have been self employed now for 22 years maximising profits to be made from tiling, i have been on loads of sales courses which paid off when comming to win business quotes and understanding your customers.
Large complanys always send their staff on these kind of courses on how to win business and they work
I was thinking of running a one day course on the above and condensing the best of what ive was taught over the years, anyone that has been on my course has had a taster of what i can teach in how to make money from tiling, just wondering if anyone would be interested in such a course.

Regards
Darren

Yes Darren

-How much?
-How long?

If it was a 1 day course then maybe, however I dont think sales is my weak point but I'm sure you could improve my pitch. At the very least I could get another night out in south shields mate.

[brian c]

count me in but only because i want a night out in shields.

[charlie1]

Darren are you nodding your head?? cos I'm nodding mine, that sales thing really does work.

[grumpygrouter]

.......sounds like a good excuse for a party........

[charlie1]

eye Darren, could you make the course on a Thursday?

[NETT Darren]

It would be on a wednesday or a thursday, havent decided yet, I will see whos interested then maybe put the full structure of the days course on my website, i have loads of killer ways to get business from just talking to your customers then how to face the objections if they dont want to go with your quote, turn it around and do the biz

[howard]

will i earn £45k plus a year

[JAMES MCK]

Yes Darren I would be very interested. I could listen to you talk all day. We could see who talks the most me or you. jock mck

[tiler burden]

give darren his due,

he's a good business man and i am sure whatever course he puts on, it will be worth the money all day long..

darren, are you sure you didnt hypnotise me when i was at your place, i seem to find my self writing nice posts about you all the time mate lol ;0)

seriously, he knows his stuff and if i hadnt spent 3 years in sales and marketing and being sent off to sales seminars etc etc then id be first in line to book.

Sounds like a good idea from the responses so far Darren.

Nice move mate.

[daj5451]

[ad tiling]

as darren always says a good rep over the years will bring in the money
and good sales and ideas at the right time will bring in more

[whitebeam]

Look like Darren may have added another string to his bow

[NETT Darren]

Thanks for the feedback lads, i'll get round to putting the course into action, keep looking at my website and it should be on there soon. It will have to run on a Thursday

[faithhealer]

Add my name to the reunion darren

[sibs]

I think such a course would really be of benifit to me... I am just not converting my quotes so in all seriousness I would love a p1ss up in tyneside...never been up there b4 wyaye!

[NETT Darren]

Hi Mate, people buy off people they like, so there is a knack to getting your skills and your personality over to the customer to convince them your the one to pick, get it right and your laughing all the way to the bank, get it wrong and you may be heading for another job, remember no customer conversions, no tiling jobs

Wise words once again mate.

i have been very lucky in some respects. my old company spent thousands and i mean thousands on training. i had a 1 week course in london with a guy called tony robbins www.tonyrobbins.com they dont come any bigger than him. literally, hes 6'7 lol

also was fortunate enough to do a 1 week workshop with richard bandler and paul mckenna along with other dale carnegie courses....its all good but you can do as many sales courses as you like but its your own self will, desire and determination that will find the way.its in us all it just takes something big sometimes to unleash it.
as tony robbins used to say, the best motivators are inspiration and despiration.

but what darren will teach you is some good solid, proven techniques that you might just be missing. a bit like trying to burst a hole in a wall when theres a door right next to you if you get what i mean.

i am sure darren will put on an excellent course. darren looks more like seb coe than simon cowell. i think hes done a bit of modelling in the past ;0)

all the best.........

[NETT Darren]

Thanks Mate, The course will be a big confidence booster withe the motavation thrown in, Like burden says sometimes you get stuck in a rutt and these courses just give you a new kick start, you will feel energised after leaving
