If you are a technology sales rep or a business feeling the adverse impact and reality of this recession? And or you are feeling frustrated and a bit bewildered by what was working for you no longer producing good results? Believe me you, are not alone.

I know a lot of consistently successful salespeople suddenly feeling like they’ve woken up in the movie Glengary, Glengary Ross, questioning their own ability and future. What you must understand is that there have been profound changes occurring in the way your IT customers and prospects are buying products, services and starting projects. And by understanding these changes and adapting to them there will be no need for you to be left behind as the market recovers.

If any of the above hits a cord with you, then please join me as I share the seven secrets to selling IT in our down economy on June 4th and 5th. I will cover topics such as:

* Why prospecting is so difficult today
* Why customer’s aren’t buying products?
* Why you may be missing important opportunities in your current accounts
* Why CIOs, IT directors, managers aren’t taking your calls
* Why your sales & marketing activities may be driving away your current clients and prospects
* Why your success is determined by the first 10 seconds of a sales call
* Why your clients see no value in your vendor partnerships or certifications

I’ll provide tangible solutions and answers to the each one of these challenges. So, don’t hesitate, reserve your space now. For your convenience, I have scheduled two different times. However, webinar bandwidth is limited, so register now.

The headline of today’s post is my mission. Ever since I started in sales in the late 80’s I always looked for ways to help my fellow sales people. Today I do it on a much larger scale so I am excited to report that we continue to expand and be as aggressive about our/my mission as we have always been.

To that end, we have changed our name to StreetSmartSolutionProvider! We made this change based on the evolution that many of our VAR and resellers clients have made to full fledge solution providers but also because we have expanded our services to include other companies that market and sell technology solutions including hardware, software, and other IT service and solutions companies.
