Colleen Francis at CAPS Calgary

Had the privilege of seeing Colleen share a few ideas with my fellow CAPS friends in Calgary on the weekend... she is one smart lady and I picked up a few ideas I am going to apply myself.

Colleen and I work in helping sales people become more successful, profitable, and have more fun... and I am pleased to see her doing so well.

Colleen has a company called Engage Selling Solutions and I am pleased to recommend her.

Leveraged marketing and promotion sells

I've told you about the work 20 speakers are doing in creating the Alberta Speakers website and ad-venture promotional team. This group is using a website which is supported by print advertising as a way to leverage their reach.

Mid November we expanded that outreach by inviting additional speakers to join us in two more online web-based promotional websites. We've had a good response for Edmonton Speakers and Calgary Speakers websites.

Last week we invited speakers from BC to become a part of a new online program to promote Vancouver Speakers and Kelowna/Okanagon Speakers. Again, the response has been good. Obviously, these ideas have struck a chord with our fellow speakers. Yahoo!

Glad to help where we can and we have several other projects under consideration: Atlantic Canada Speakers, Saskatchewan Speakers, Manitoba Speakers, Ontario Speakers, Toronto Speakers, Hamilton Speakers, and Ottawa Speakers. Interesting way to leverage my spare time, keep my webmaster busy, and leverage my reach along with helping my fellow speakers with theirs.

Secrets success in Denver at CSIA DemoGala2007

Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO at the invitation of the Canadian Consulate in that area. I was invited, along with 8 other technology firms from Alberta and Sask. to be a part of the CSIA annual DemoGala2007.

What an amazing collection of technologies, ideas, and entreprenuers each seeking to share theirs with anyone who walked by...

The Consulate staff brought CO Governor, Bill Ritter over to the Canada booth to meet us and to have his picture taken with the complete trade mission team after he finished speaking at the opening kick off.

He had made a couple of major technology announcements and had been a good speaker. AS a speaker myself, I told him he had done a good job and encouraged him to keep up the good work... which brought a smile to his face. Someone told me later, that might have been due to his being new to the politician role since he took office in Jan of 2007. I hope he keeps close to who he is and shares honestly... we need more of that.

Moving past the minimum - gaining momentum

Update August 16th:

We have reached the first level of success in this quest to help Alberta Easter Seals help kids and adults with disabilities.

We are above the $1500 minimum needed to be able to rappel down the outside of the Sutton Place hotel in Edmonton, Alberta

Bob is scheduled to step off at 10:45AM on Sept 10th. If you are in the area, come out and cheer him on as he conquers his nervousness about heights and helps the Easter Seals Kids.

But we can still use your help to raise even more money. You can visit Bob's webpage and follow the links to his personal donation page on the Alberta Easter Seals site. Once there, you can make a donation... and you don't even have to live in Edmonton, or Canada for that matter. You can help right where you are...

Thanks

Bob Hooey

PS: If you are wondering how this relates to Secret Selling Tips... one of the secrets is having an attitude and action plan for giving and being involved in your community. That attitude, for some unexplained reason, opens doors and attracts those who would support you and deal with you based on your commitment.

Welcome new clients to our Secret Selling Tips family

We continue to grow.

We launched Secret Selling Tips in March 2007 to 1500 Brick Sales professionals across Canada and added a French version for their Quebec sales team in April 2003.

I was invited to attend a Strivers meeting in Chicago in May, 2007 to introduce this exciting new concept to a group of US furniture retailers as the guest of our first Canadian subscriber who felt the value we brought to his team would be of interest to his counterparts. He was so excited about what we were doing he called and said, "Hooey, you have to come to Chicago. You are my best idea this year!"

Following that meeting we have had 4 new US based firms subscribe their sales teams... with a couple more in the process of getting ready to sign up their teams. We welcome new companies who are committed to equipping and motivating their sales teams to subscribe. Cost is very reasonable, in most cases for as little as the cost of a cup of coffee per month, and the delivery system is easy too. Just subscribe, give us their names and email addresses and every two weeks they will get their copy of 'your' Secret Selling Tips.

Call to find out how you can stimulate and excite your sales teams to sell more, increase their conversion ratios, and make more money. (780) 736-0009
