Discussion Points

Look these over and discuss them at your next meeting:

1. One thing is for sure. All shoppers have promised themselves that they are just gathering info and not buying anything today. The salesperson simply needs to build their confidence and trust to get the sale today. Great salespeople always try to sell something today!

2. On an average day, a catering salesperson only has 72 minutes to sell new clients. The rest of the day is spent writing bids, in meetings and maintaining existing sales. So, make your time count!

3. Have your total concentration on success and you will win more sales than the competition!

4. You need to constantly observe and evaluate your competitors. Purchase a competitor's product (without them knowing its you) to see, taste, and evaluate it up close! 

5. Your best advertisement is, and always will be, your last catering job! 

6. Resist putting your address into “first touch” marketing. People are reluctant to purchase from caterers who are “far away”. Instead, use the proper terminology that expresses to the readers that you serve a wide area i.e. “Serving The Greater Cleveland Area” or “Catering To The Tri-Sate Area”.
