If you're like most consultants and service professionals, you
probably can't stand selling. But without a consistent marketing
effort, your business is doomed to stay small, if it survives at
all, warns Allan Boress. Fortunately, you probably already possess
the skills you need to dramatically increase your business. All you
need is to sharpen them up and use them effectively. And that's
where the "I HATE Selling" Book comes in. It's the first book to
totally reinvent the sales process for the consultant and other
service providers and help you "close" over 90% of your sales
opportunities.
"This book is the bible on how to sell
professional services when you have no aptitude for it. These
principles enabled me to double my practice in 1 1/2 years." -
Richard Strombeck, CPA
" Great book! We increased appraisal fee income
over 30% using Allan Boress' approach." - Jim Van Der Werff, Chief
Credit Officer, Farm Credit Services
"Written in a comfortable, informal style, this
book is an easy and enjoyable read. It focuses on increasing
awareness, providing alternatives and building self-confidence
necessary to compete for new business. The information provided is
a clever combination of how-to's, common selling scenarios, and
recommendations anyone can put into practice right away. I highly
recommend it as part of any firm's
marketing plan." - J. E. Osborne, M.A., C.A.M., President,
Administrative Strategies and editor of The CPA Administrative
Report

Best Practices in Legal Marketing - e-training
resource for attorneys
WARNING: Legal Marketing Mistakes Cost Big
Money!
Marketing tools are simply equipment -- like a golf club is to a
golfer.
Getting the best clubs money can buy will not make you shoot
par. Lowering your score or becoming a pro depends primarily on
your skill as a golfer.
And these skills come from dedicated, continual application of
what works. And remember: most marketing that you're familiar with
isn't appropriate for professional services.
In Fact, many attorneys make expensive mistakes by trying out
marketing approaches that work for computers, copying machines and
soap. This kind of product-oriented marketing is a waste of
time.
So what's the answer? Simply: If you want to get better results,
you must find ways to become more like the best business
generators. Adopt their proven approaches to building your
practice. Skillfully emulate their behavior and consistently
practice their tactics on a daily basis.
Best Practices in Legal Marketing DVDs
It is no longer an option. To be a successful attorney with a
thriving practice, you MUST excel at marketing and selling. Or
stand by and watch while other attorneys land the clients, charge
premium fees and get high quality referrals.
This is a Seven-Hour DVD recording and 166 page workbook from
our full-day seminar on Best Practices In Legal Marketing for
