Assisted, "4-Legged" Sales Training/Closing Calls

We make thousands of assisted, "4-legged" sales training/closing calls each year.

The Blinder Group's motto is "train in the car as well as the classroom." Which means that our team of "Street Fighting" multimedia specialists, all experts at training traditional sales people on how to embrace new media sales, have made over 10,000 calls on small, medium and large advertisers, in a "4-legged" sales call setting with traditional ad reps, closing tens of millions of dollars of new business for client media companies.

During the week that the sales calls are being performed, daily reports are issued to senior sales management. These reports detail whether the call was made in-front of a "qualified decision-maker"; the result of the call; the amount of revenue generated; the amount of "pending" revenue that may require follow-up; and, the "odds-to-close" as predicted by the Blinder Group Associate (should the sale not be "closed" during this initial call).

The Blinder Group "closes" an average of 53% of "qualified" advertisers in the 1st call, which generally lasts 30-40 minutes!

Plus The Blinder Group will assist in the design of all sales materials needed for the calls.
