How To Sell At A Conference Without Being A Cheeseball

istock_cheeseball000002615278xsmall.jpg     Wow - what a week!

 I recently was in Dallas, speaking at a massive conference for http://www.ewomennetwork.com/ and it was absolutely incredible.  There were SO MANY fabulous women there who are interested in growing their business.  (If you’re not a member already - you should definitely join!)

And because I’m the Sales Diva - I love watching how people sell.

Some are good…and wellllllll…some are NOT so good!

You get to see sooooo many different types of salespeople and business owners in action.  What they are doing right as well as where they are struggling.

There was something I noticed that many women were slipping up on.

Timing.

What were they doing? Trying to close the deal 2 seconds after they had met you. 

EGAD.

 So why does this hurt you in the long run?

 There is ZERO RELATIONSHIP

And you come across as pushy and amateurish.  I call it “being a cheeseball”

However - you can be a GOOD cheeseball if you know how to let people try you out vs going for the KILL.

What Should You Do Instead?  Be Spreadable!

  • Let Them Sample You.  How can they try your product or service? Either immediately or after the conference?
  • Give Them Something So They’ll Sign Up For Free Tips!  A free report, a CD, something right there at the conference etc will encourage people to sign up for your database….which is worth MORE than a quick and little sale!
  • Get Them Talking About You! If you and your service are a WOW - then people will start spreading the word about you! How spreadable are you?

I’m all about ASKING FOR THE SALE but TIMING is everything LADY.

If you’re speaking to people when they are rushed, surrounded by people and not really listening to what you’re saying - you’re going to get hit with tons of rejection.

And that’s just cheesy!
