Keys
to Success Presentations
Although at first glance some of the five topics to the right
may seem unrelated, the concept of success prevails in each.
It is obvious that overcoming the habit of deferring action will
give new stature to former procrastinators and make them more
successful in business and the professions. Shoppers who understand
why they buy make a more successful purchase. January 11,1999,
the Dallas Morning News featured an article on the popularity
of seminars among salespeople who look for inspiration and new
ideas which will contribute to their success. Although seniors
probably no longer respond to calls for business or professional
success, they are, nevertheless, still interested in finding ways
to make the retirement years more satisfying and gleeful, and
thus, more successful.

Procrastination
Presentation

resulting rewards. Speech length: 20 - 25 minutes
Sales Presentations
Seminar for More Sales Success
Most salespersons are successful. Many, however, heed the Latin
proverb that says in order to be good a person has to get better.
Striving for improvement insures against falling into the infamous
"rut". This session points out the traits of the winning
salesperson, the satisfactions sought by buyers as they consider
a product or service, some techniques the salesperson can use
to learn about the buyer's business and how to fit the characteristics
of the product or service to the needs of the buyer. If done properly
this can result in a sale. This seminar can be increased to demonstrate
selling situations with different products or services. Seminar
length: 60 - 75 minutes
Why People Really Buy
Almost everyone buys something regularly. While they want the
obvious benefit of a product or service, they also seek from one
to five psychic satisfaction from the purchase. This speech uses
humor in exploring these satisfactions which motivate both buyer
and seller. Speech length: 20 minutes
