Seminar Workshop #1: Route Supervisor Sales Management Course
Perhaps the weakest link in our growth efforts is with the Route Supervisor or
Route Manager positions. In fact, they are rarely trained in Sales Management,
yet alone Route Sales Management, yet are still held responsible for daily, weekly,
quarterly, and yearly route growth. It doesn't make sense that we expect these
people to succeed and not train them or give them the information they need to
achieve any expected results.
This course finally gives anyone with service growth responsibility the tools,
controls and proven practices to reach their goals. It is a two-day workshop
that focuses on the 10 basics steps of service sales growth. Service supervisory
people will come back with a list of practical and simple techniques they can
implement on the day they return to your company. This workshop is a solution
for owners, a stress relief for service management, and a godsend for the route
people who finally will understand how to experience growth on their routes and
feel good about doing it.
Seminar Workshop #2: Customer Management Course
This is a two- or three-day course designed to give members total control of
their biggest asset; their customer base. The focus is on using proven marketing
techniques for acquiring new customer, as well as strengthening the bonds with
your current customers.
As a rule we usually underwhelm and disappoint our customers by:
- Neglecting your own self promotion.
- Failing to realize the lifetime value of the customer.
- Incorrectly relying solely on the service department to maintain all existing
business.
- Seldom validate the customer’s choice to use us as their service provider.
- Weakening rather that strengthening the relationship every time there is contact
with the customer.
- Showing appreciation in intangible ways.
- Letting the competition exploit everything we have neglected to do for our customers.
This course is designed specifically to remedy these situations. It is a must
for anyone with customer retention, renewal or internal growth responsibilities.
This program is the "Masters Degree" that cannot be found anywhere or anyplace
else. With all the progress and improvements in competitive sales tactics and
strategy, this seminar is crucial for maintaining your current customers.

- Elevate your management of all customer activity to result in less lost business
within accounts
