			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently launched a survey and the preliminary results are in. In response to the question what is your preferred learning format &#8211; 75% of respondents said In Class Training.</p>
<p>In answer to your request I have organized 3 dates for In Class Training of  <strong><br />
Set The Stage &#8211; Business Development Training That Turns Leads Into Sales</strong></p>
<p>This foundational class outlines the Follow Up Business System and The Business Growth Strategy and is the same material I use to show corporate sales representatives at Investors Group, Verico Mortgages and new entrepreneurs through The Learning Enrichment Foundation and Enterprise Toronto how to follow up so they do not feel like they are being a pest.</p>
<p><strong>Never feel like a pest again when you follow up after meeting people at business networking and trade show events!</strong></p>
<p>This course will show you how to build a system that turns those business card leads into sales!</p>

<strong>3 hours of training &#8211; $89.00</strong></p>
<p>February 14, March 27 or May 8</p>
<p>from 10 am &#8211; 1 pm in Burlington Ontario.</p>
<p>Sign up for your preferred date</p>
<p><em>If you would prefer this training at your location, just contact me.</em></p>
<p>It really bothers me when I hear that people attend networking and trade show events as a route to find new clients and grow their business fast, but end up off course, lost in voice mail jail, frustrated and feeling like a pest.</p>

<p><strong><img title="Networking SUCCESS" src="http://www.executivesalessupport.com/WordPress261/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Business-card-Women-Networking-SUCCESS-150x120.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="120" /></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>1st Call in the series is Tuesday, November 29, </strong><strong>1:15 – 1:45 pm<br />
</strong><strong>How To Start A Conversation In A Room Full Of Strangers.</strong></span><br />
One of the top questions people ask me about mastering prospecting and follow up is “How can I start a conversation in a room full of stangers?”</p>
<p>During this business development training series you will discover secrets most business professionals will never know about following up after business networking and tradeshow events and it is stopping them from growing their business.</p>
<p>Give me 30 minute and during this first call I’ll show you how to shift gears and start conversations in a room full of strangers.</p>
<p>On this call you’ll  learn;</p>
<ul>
<li>Hello My Name Is … Where your name tag goes is important</li>
<li>2 Ways to start a conversation before you even get into the room</li>
<li>3 Ways to start a conversation once you are in the room</li>
<li>A great tip to gracefully leave a conversation</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever name you give it – working the room,  prospecting, new business development, lead generation or marketing – the purpose of attending business networking and trade show events is to showcase your company and find new leads that you can turn into sales.</p>
<p>During this 1st call of a 4 part free tele-seminar series I will break down my own step by step system and share with you little known secrets that will skyrocket your sales.</p>
<p>Once you know these secrets you will be able to grow your sales faster with the same amount of energy or less than you’re using today.</p>
<p>These business development training seminars will be recorded and available after the call for registered attendees. All seminars run 1:15 – 1:45 pm</p>
<p><strong>The next Business Development Training Seminar dates in this series are:</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Business networking and tradeshow events are great business growth strategies if you follow up the prospecting meet.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I find this final quarter of the year leading up to the holiday season <strong>Very Exciting</strong>.<br />
You will be going to many business networking and trade show events and maybe you have been struggling with generating new prospects and clients from these marketing and sales activities. I want to help.</p>
<p>Could I ask you a question please?</p>
<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-1106" href="http://oakvillenetworking.com/2011/prospecting-following-up-after-business-networking-and-tradeshow-events.html/answer-search"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1106" title="Looking For Answers" src="http://oakvillenetworking.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Question-Mark-150x130.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="130" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What is the top question you have about - prospecting at - and &#8211; following up after &#8211;  business networking and tradeshow events?</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Please e-mail me your questions to Cheryl at Executive Sales Support.com<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;m asking this question is &#8211; many of my clients tell me they try to follow up with the people they meet but they end up;</p>
<ul>
<li>feeling like they are bugging people and so they stop</li>
<li>get distracted doing other activities and end up running out of time and feeling like it is now too late</li>
</ul>
<p>Over the next six weeks I will be hosting a series of seminars where I be answering your questions and sharing with you tips you can use to:</p>
<ul>
<li>start conversations in a room full of strangers</li>
<li>follow up tools to continue the conversation</li>
<li>a marketing and sales funnel strategy that enables you to follow up with everyone you meet</li>
</ul>
<ul><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Please e-mail me your questions</strong> Cheryl at Executive Sales Support.com<br />
</span>I look forward to receiving your questions and &#8216;seeing&#8217; you in the upcoming seminars.To your success,</ul>
