STEPS to EFFECTIVE SALES OPENINGS You only have 1 chance to make a first impression! • KNOWyour customer before initial contact • RESEARCH their company website • Have a PLANED AGENDA to discuss • DON’T call without preparing what to say • CUSTOMIZE the sales script • Don’t read a general script for each customer • ASK OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS • Find out what customer needs/wants • CLOSING LINE: Ask for the SALE! 6. Be a GOOD LISTENER
EFFECTIVE WAYS TO SELL TICKETS GOAL: Sell-Out your event to make MONEY If you don’t make up the costs of the event-LOSE MONEY • LOTTERY: • Use: DEMAND IS HIGHER THAN THE AVAILABLE SUPPLY • A drawing in which people are given equal chance to win • Word of Mouth • “EARLY BIRD PRICING” • Earlier you buy the ticket, the lower the price • Sell ONLINE
