Tuesday June 18th - Effective Sales Presentations Require Thoughtful Preparations
Key Steps You Can Take to Ensure a Powerful Sales Meeting
We all put in time to prepare for our client’s once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. But how much time do we invest preparing to show our value to a prospective wedding couple? In this seminar, Peter Merry will unpack several proven methods for adding the same level of personal touches that many of us already do for our client’s weddings as an impactful part of sharing the solutions we can provide in a meaningful way that will help them see us as the best choice for their entertainment needs. If you wouldn’t dream of doing the same things in the same way for every wedding performance, come prepared to be challenged to approach your initial sales meetings with that same mindset. You will learn how to show each couple that you truly want to earn their business without using pressure tactics while also building a strong foundation for collaborating with them moving forward.
Wednesday June 19th - Making Their Fairytale Story Come To Life
A “Live” Demonstration on Making Your Couples Feel Important, Informed & Impressed
Rather than talk about how to do it, Peter Merry will meet with a prospective wedding couple (who have not yet hired a DJ) “live” on the stage as he walks them through a collection of stories and examples that will help them to see the full value of our unique services. This will be an actual sales presentation with a couple that he has never met or spoken with in advance. With just a few minor details provided in advance (which will be unsealed at the close of his seminar the day before), Peter will give them a personalized presentation that should prove highly educational for all in attendance. Will they book Peter for their wedding? Who knows? Regardless, this will be an extremely informative demonstration that clearly should not be missed.
