During this 30 minute webinar I will prove that there is a Silver Bullet in sales.</p>
<h4>Webinar Details -<a href="https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/705326053" target="_blank">There is a Silver Bullet in Sales</a></h4>
<p>For years you’ve been told that there is no such thing as a silver bullet in sales.</p>
<p>But there is. It&#8217;s called timing – getting in front of the right person at EXACTLY the right time.</p>
<p>When you have the right timing the sale almost happens by itself &#8211; No challenges getting to the decision maker, understanding their dissatisfaction, presenting a solution, or closing the sale.</p>
<p>In this <a href="https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/705326053" target="_blank">30 minute webinar</a> Craig Elias will show you how events that trigger the buying process &#8211; <em>Trigger Events</em> &#8211; convert someone who never would have bought from you yesterday, into someone <strong>highly likely to become your customer</strong> today.</p>
<p>When you leverage Trigger Events to get in front of highly motivated, buyers before your competition you dramatically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increase your close ratios</li>
<li>Shorten your sales cycles</li>
<li>Sell at higher prices</li>
</ul>
<p>This <a href="https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/705326053" target="_blank">no-charge webinar </a>will show you t<strong>he secrets of getting to decision makers at EXACTLY the right time</strong> by:</p>
<ol>
<li>Identifying what the right timing is</li>
<li>Learning how to get the right timing</li>
<li>Understanding what to do when you do have the right timing</li>
</ol>
<p>You’ll also learn:</p>
<ul>
<li> The three types of Trigger Events that create highly motivated buyers</li>
<li> The specific Trigger Events that create highly motivated buyers for what you sell</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><a href="https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/705326053" target="_blank">Register </a></strong>even if you can&#8217;t make the live webinar so you receive the recording of the webinar and a chance to win $1,500 worth of my time.</p>
<p>P.S. On September 2<sup>nd</sup> the winners of the four tickets for <strong><a href="http://www.theartofproductions.com/events-salesCalgary.html?CraigElias" target="_blank">the Art of Sales happening in Calgary</a></strong> on September 25<sup>th</sup> &#8211; Terry Tudor (1 ticket), Tammy Dowd (1 ticket), and Kae Shoommugum (2 tickets) &#8211; were notified by email as were the rest of the over 120 who entered their name in the draw.</p>

<p>One of the biggest challenges in sales is to <a href="http://www.sellingtobigcompanies.com/content_display.jsp?top=15261&amp;mid=72040&amp;siteObjectID=72060&amp;affiliate=73103"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>get your foot in the door</strong></span></a> and have that first meeting.</p>
<p>To make that challenge less daunting I have  partnered with Jill Konrath and three other thought leaders on the teleseminar series <a href="http://www.sellingtobigcompanies.com/content_display.jsp?top=15261&amp;mid=72040&amp;siteObjectID=72060&amp;affiliate=73103"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Get Your Foot In The Door</strong></span></a>, that <strong><span style="color: #000000;">starts this Thursday</span></strong>.</p>

</ul>
<p>Sign up for each teleseminar individually. Or, for the best value, sign up for the entire series. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">All programs are recorded</span></strong>, so if you miss the event or want to listen to it again, you&#8217;ll be able to. You&#8217;ll be sent a link to download the audio after the session.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.sellingtobigcompanies.com/content_display.jsp?top=15261&amp;mid=72040&amp;siteObjectID=72060&amp;affiliate=73103"><span style="color: #000080;">Individual teleseminars are $79</span></a></strong></p>

<p>After finally getting the SHiFT blog back up and running last week I had a number of phone calls and emails about two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>When is your next free teleseminar on <em>Trigger Events</em></li>
<li>Why does the email I get have links to past events.</li>
</ol>
<p>1) The next free trigger event sales seminar &#8220;Six Ways to Outsell Your Competition&#8221; is <strong>Monday December 10th</strong> @ 10:00AM Pacific, 11:00AM Mountain, 1:00 Eastern.  The <a href="http://sixways.eventbrite.com"><strong>registration link</strong></a> for this seminar  can be found at <a href="http://sixways.eventbrite.com"><strong>http://sixways.eventbrite.com</strong></a>.</p>
<p>2) When the Feedblitz service send out notification of updates it automatically included links to previous posts under the heading of &#8220;Most Recent Articles&#8221;. Any reference to teleseminars in this section of the notices send out via Feedblitz will be from events that have probably already happened because they were posted several weeks ago.</p>
<p><strong>Trigger Event Resources to Consider</strong></p>
<p>Each week I scour the Internet searching for ideas, resources, articles, and success stories about leveraging <em>Trigger Events</em> to outsell the competition. This week the best resource I found is the article <a href="http://www.salespromagazine.com/index.htm?aid=150&amp;pid=5">Identify The Compelling Event, By Gene Meskill</a></p>
<p>Please <a href="http://shiftselling.com/contact">contact me</a> when you have ideas, resources, or success stories about leveraging ‘<em>Trigger Events</em>‘ &#8211; aka selling triggers &#8211; that you want to share.</p>
<p>Have an eventful week!</p>
<p>Craig</p>
