Telemarketing Consulting Services Inc. Presents Effective Sales and Promotional Ideas for Small and Mid-sized Firms

Yesterday I posted information on my Cold Calling Workshop at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. This next workshop is designed to compliment the first one. I created this workshop as a way for small business owners to create cost effective promotional campaigns that are both simple and cost effective. Cold calling is not enough to keep businesscoming in hte door. You need to also keep your name in front as many people as possible without breaking the budget. These tips will help you do just that. Another great thing about the workshop is that becasue it's right after the cold calling workshop on the same day,it alows you to see how both cold calling and business promotion work hand in hand. Both workshops are also great networking vehicles. I hope to see you there ...... TCS Inc.

Sorry no credit cards"?¦yet. Here´s what workshop attendees had to say"?¦. I am writing this email to SBA to express my true appreciation for the April 6th Telemarketing class lead by Tony Wilkins. I had been stuck with how to start my phone calls, for my event planning company; and Tony was able to get me to break through that barrier, and get me on a productive path. Since this class I have made some very significant steps. Tony has a way of generating creative thinking that absolutely lets you flow to the next level. Tony taught us steps from picking up the phone; walked us through various dialogues, to getting a meeting (which has worked for me with Garter Dataquest -- thanks!!) He has a way of individualizing the telemarketing business that "just fits" for the different business types. Tony's teaching wasn't limited to phone calls; he also provided critical information for lead lists, to which I am thankful.
