<p>Congratulations to Iain Beveridge of <a href="http://wwwallphasecom.com" target="_blank">All Phase Communications</a> <strong>the winner of $1,500 </strong>worth of Trigger Event services. Iain&#8217;s name was drawn from the over 700 people who registered for this weeks webinar &#8211; <a href="http://www.shiftselling.com/webinars/dowjones/" target="_blank"><strong>Trigger Events: The Silver Bullet in Sales</strong></a> &#8211;  that featured Craig Elias and Frank Filippo and was sponsored by Dow Jones.</p>
<p>I do my best to regularly scour the internet for additional resources on <em>Trigger Events</em>. A little while ago I came across an interesting blog post that mentioned <a href="http://johngannonblog.com/2009/01/22/the-compelling-event" target="_blank"><strong><em>compelling events</em></strong>,</a> by <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jgannon" target="_blank">John Gannon</a> an associate at the venture capital firm <a href="http://www.lcapital.us/">L. Capital Partners</a>, that I thought would be of interest to the readers of this blog.</p>
<p>Come back next week, as I continue the countdown of the <a href="http://www.shiftselling.com/tags/sales-mistakes/" target="_blank">top seven mistakes salespeople make</a> with a perspective on the #2 mistake salespeople make.</p>
<p>Have an EVENTFUL week!</p>
<p>Craig</p>

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>
