In a Nut Shell.

Key Sales Managment Benefits.

The Weekly Sales Beast was developed as an in-­territory selling skills resource used to reinforce positive sales behavior across a broad pallet of real world situations. It is simply the most unique sales educational program in the market. Spanning up to two years in duration, The Weekly Sales Beast sits on the shoulder of a field professional for five minutes each week and tells a humorous narrative about selling skills.

 

Authored by sales master Douglas Martin in his legendary “Will Rogers” humorist style, each segment deals with a strategic, tactical or attitudinal aspect of selling in the real world .

 

The concept of having a skills reinforcement program that was continual, entertaining, time sensitive and relevant to the working lives of sales people was quickly embraced by corporate leaders such as Dow AgroSciences, Univar International, Mercer Bradley and Monsanto, to name just a few.

  • Provide your company with an educationally based frontline tactic, which will be appreciated and embraced by the entire sales team regardless of their level of experience.                                            

  • Deliver 58-110 shots of knowledge directly into the email boxes of revenue generators. A dependable continuous program has incremental impact in the learning cycle.                                          

  • Easy to implement and maintain. It takes only moments to confirm your team as recipients and execute the launch protocol; from that point The Weekly Sales Beast team will ensure your people receive each of the 58-110 lessons in the series.                               

  • Enhances the management/rep relationship through shared knowledge. Allowing you to deliver a valuable sales resource program without the headache of how to keep it going and who's going to do the work.                                                                          

  • Enjoy a high compliance rate. Over 90% of Beast readers open and engage in the content within 12 hours of receipt. Sound too good to be true? We have a “Twist” program element, which drives readership and manager interaction. Details will be shared when we talk specifics with you.                                                       

  • Offers a key discussion platform easily incorporated into scheduled meetings or just water-cooler chats. Best of all, your sales team will be better educated and more motivated as they hit the streets.

  • The Weekly Sales Beast is non-academic. Your people will enjoy and embrace The Beast because the communication style is conversational. It’s like having a cup of coffee with a mentor. Each week, a singular lesson is profiled, not a shopping list of new things to do. The points are made in Martin’s unique conversational style and subtlety implants learning all sales reps can relate to.                                                                                       

  • Time and access driven qualities that are sensitive to the real world conditions your people will appreciate. The Beast really does only take five minutes to absorb and can be read in the office, on the road or during a coffee break, on any device.              

  • A little knowledge goes a long way. Reinforcing positive sales behavior continuously through practical solution based information, enhances not only skills, but attitudes as well. Positive attitudes breed confidence and incremental results in the field.                                                                                                   

  • The Weekly Sales Beast is FROM a sales pro TO a sale pro and carries the credibility of a colleague who has worn off as much shoe leather as they have. Sales people are very leery of educators who have formulated technical processes from textbooks.                                                                                          

  • Outside experts have an incremental advantage, as they are less familiar than those they work around. Although a key part of any sales leaders duties is to nurture better skills, having that knowledge delivered from the outside often carries greater weight.                                                                                                 

  • Stories have lasting impact and are proven to be more memorable. Retention in professional development education is paramount and the style of The Beast fits perfectly into a memorable environment.

Ideal for larger teams and companies looking for a meaningful way to extend a tangible partnership program with alliance distributors or dealer networks.

Often our clients have an extended sales tower, which includes wholesalers, distributors or even retailers who represent their products down the tower toward end-users.

 

Some look to leverage the positive selling skill story-messages by including the down-line into their corporate program. An excellent way to reinforce their brand presence in the minds of sellers who are at arms lengths away.

 

We co-brand the electronic receiving platform, indicating to the recipient that XYZ Company is committed to their sales partnership success and therefore reinforces that message each week with the brand inclusion.

 

Executives down the chain receive a physical bound copy of all segments in book format, which is branded in conjunction with the hosting client. The book includes a welcome message page at the beginning of the publication that connects the host’s professional development partnership vision with the down chain.

3. Customized Beast.

Clients with extended sales towers often encounter a disconnection in sales knowledge with representatives further along the chain. The integrated program develops a specific client section on “How To Sell OUR Products” which is created by Beast author Douglas Martin and is written in the same “Will Roger’s” Style of the main program.

 

This section guides the reader through every aspect of being successful in selling that client’s offerings. From presenting the company history to detailing market challenges and what readers need to know to overcome them. A pillar-to-post articulation of features and benefits, market positioning, objection analysis, costing justifications and presentation planning and execution.

 

Beyond laying critical success tools into the hands of the down line, this integrated program is also an ideal way to keep the client’s brand foremost in the minds of recipients week after week.

 

In this program, each recipient receives a personalized hard copy of all the segments in their purchased series, which includes the customized section.162 Co-branded weekly story segments.

 

Cost: $3.65 per week/per recipient, which includes one book for every recipient, program development, writing, design and formatting based on a minimum of 300 recipients.

 

A perfect "Product Knowledge" solution for companies whose wares are sold through a downline network of distributors or dealers.
