What Was Your Name Again?

Business Model Revenues

less NOISE = more SALES

I put this presentation together about 6 months ago for an internal presentation to our team about the need to create a compelling message in spite of all the NOISE surrounding our business.

After recent sales discussions with entrepreneurs, I thought it made sense to share this with The DEW View community.  Its worth reviewing your “sales pitch” while asking yourself the question: “Do I cut through the noise?”

To really harness EXPLOSIVE revenue performance, you have to create a message that is compelling enough to cut through the NOISE of:

  • Your competition…
  • Your prior performance…
  • Your customer’s perceptions…
  • Your personal deficiencies…
  • Your customer’s personal agenda…
  • Your recent commute to work…
  • Your fears about not “closing the deal”… AND
  • a squigillion other variables you’ll learn about after you lose a few deals because you didn’t plan for cutting through the NOISE

Winners create a fanfare that arouses action, intensifies urgency, and capture the mind and motivation of a buyer. (DEWism)

Be a winner!

    Hate to be a downer but to be truly effective communicating, it's best to avoid typos in your first bullet point, otherwise the audience will fixate on that :-)

    Personally, I think it is more fun to invent your own words (squigillion). That way you can spell them any way you like!

      Lori: Creating my own "world" is my guaranteed way to always win the debate! I see your 2 squigillion and raise you 5… :-)

    Agreed! And if you happen to be horrible at spelling, you better have a good sense of humor…
