Bestselling Author of SNAP Selling and Selling to Big Companies to Share Her Secrets on How to Close New Customers When Times Are Tough.

NOVATO, Calif. (March 6, 2012) — Experts Connection for Business (http://www.experts-connection.com/business.aspx) will host a new webinar this month featuring world-renowned sales strategist and author Jill Konrath. The webinar, entitled “Selling in a Volatile Economy,” will offer strategies to get prospects to adopt new thinking and help them take risks in tough economic times. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, from 4:00 to 5:30 ET (1:00 to 2:30 PT) and is sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).

Trying to get a sales prospect to change from the status quo is difficult at any time, and when money is tight it’s even more challenging. All successful sales are driven by a strong business case that demonstrates to the prospect that the reward is worth adopting a something new. Of course, when times are tough everyone is overwhelmed with too much work, which makes the sales process even more challenging.

Tough economic times call for a fresh sales approach that gets prospects to see the value of your offer and return your calls. In this webinar, Jill will present some fresh ideas to help you close new business, including:

– How to amplify your prospecting platform.
– How to create new sales opportunities where none existed before.
– How to shrink the time it takes to get a sale.
– How to craft sales prospecting campaigns that cannot be ignored.
– How to get sales first, before the competition steps in.
– How to optimize your personal effectiveness.
