<p>I recently had the chance to talk to Bill about sales and marketing during an economic downturn.</p>
<p><a title="What to do during an economic slowdown" href="http://www.askbillcaskeylive.com" target="_blank"><strong>He and his team are doing a teleseminar about this same topic</strong> </a> on March 27th.</p>
<p>If you choose to invest in yourself and your future by attending this teleseminar, here&#8217;s some of what you&#8217;ll discover:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The phases of a slowdown so you can determine where your clients are in it. (You can&#8217;t know where you&#8217;re going until you know where you are).</strong></li>
<li>The five economic trends that a well-known economist, who will be on the call, says will influence people into a slowdown.</li>
<li><strong>The &#8220;<em>Fundamental Shift</em>&#8221; you need to make in order to get your head right in your dealings with prospects and clients.</strong></li>
<li>The five elements of the &#8220;Buyer Psyche&#8221; that will help you understand his/her motive better.</li>
<li><strong>A selling strategy that will help you detach emotionally and think clearly so you always know what to do next. (And you stop getting in the way of the sale).</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Over the next few days I&#8217;ll give you more advice on what to do and what to not do to prosper during an economic downturn.</p>
<p>I highly recommend that you take 15-20 minutes and listen to my interview with Bill.</p>
<p>You can listen thru the web audio player.</p>
