Business Lady Offering HandshakeToday is my birthday. Yes, I was born on Friday the 13th, but it’s never been an unlucky day for me. I am really excited about creating my best year ever. I’m really into the 40 is the new 30 storyline. I feel like you can tell your age if you don’t look it. But, my 42nd birthday is actually going to be a good day for you.

Have you ever heard of the reverse birthday gift? It’s where the birthday girl gives a gift instead of receiving one. Well, that’s what I’m doing today – and my gift to you is a business-building, life-changing gift. I am sure you’ll still be thanking me years from now.

I believe that most people have great business ideas, but don’t know how to sell or close the business. I’ve had this conversation for years with my best-selling author, speaker, coaching, and internet marketing friends.  Creating a sales process is the key to creating a sustainable business. I, along with one of my favorite sales experts in the world – Jeffrey Gitomer – am giving you a free, five-part webinar series called, “How to Really Make Sales”.

Jeffrey GitomerAbout Jeffrey Gitomer: The Authority on Sales
You’ve seen Jeffrey on the New York Times Bestseller list no less than three times; including his masterpiece, “The Little Red Book of Selling.” Jeffrey and I run in the same circles and when told him I wanted to do something with him on sales for my fans, he “got it” right away! He is, quite simply, amazing.

I love how he takes the hardest parts of sales such as sales calls and closing a sale, and makes them an effortless part of how you do business. He’s a master at sales and I know you’ll benefit greatly from his knowledge during the “How to Really Make Sales” five-part webinar series.

If you join us, be clear—I can’t apply the information I give you – only you can do that – but I can give you as many opportunities as possible to:

  • Outperform the competition
  • Network in ways that bring in sales
  • Turn the hardest parts of selling into the easiest parts
  • Build rock-solid relationships with your audience and the influencers of your audience.

Mark your calendar:  The Webinar series will take place LIVE on GoToMeeting at 1pm and replay at 4pm and 7pm that same day.

  1. Thursday Oct. 30, 1pm ET – How to Attract Customers
  2. Thursday Nov. 6,  1pm ET – How to Network and Make an Appointment
  3. Wednesday Nov. 12, 1pm ET – How to Make a Sales Call
  4. Thursday Nov. 20, 1pm ET – How to Close a Sale 
  5. Thursday Dec. 4th, 1pm ET – How to Build a Relationship

If you miss one, not to worry, it will replay twice after it’s recorded, so it will be available for you when you are ready to learn.

Here’s how you can get your gift:

  1. Visit this link: http://www.getsales14.com
  2. Enter your first name in the registration box
  3. Enter your email address beneath that
  4. Attend all five FREE sessions on attracting the right clients and customers into your business

Bottom line: Today is my birthday, and I’m giving you the gift of putting yourself in the ultimate position to succeed in your business. Register here: http://www.getsales14.com.

By the way, We only have 1,000 spots open for this series. Between Jeffrey’s contacts and mine, we’re going to fill those well before the start date of the event. I want you to get in before we reach capacity. Register here today.
