Dear Technology Based Businesses and Sales Professionals:

Are you struggling to close more business in your technology based company? Do you have a great technology product and/or service but aren't sure how to let prospects know about you? Are you frustrated with your current marketing and sales efforts for your technology based business and looking for fresh, new and unique ways to promote your business?

 

Do you see your competitors growing and wonder what they are doing to be so successful (even when you know their product or service isn't nearly as good as yours)?
 

Unfortunately, too many technology based businesses and professionals have strong technical skills, but don't know how to attract new clients! This is a common problem that I hear over and over again.
 

Frequently, I get calls and emails from technology based businesses and sales people that express to me, in private, their feelings of frustration and anxiety in their marketing and sales efforts. Perhaps there are times when even you feel...

  • Frustrated with your inability to attract new clients.
  • Tired of networking with little or no results.
  • Discouraged because you can't seem to turn interested prospects into paying clients.
  • Annoyed because you're not getting the type or size of deals you had hoped for.
  • Puzzled as to what marketing and sales tactics you should be using and how to use them.
  • Confused because you are just starting out and don't know how to get your first clients.

I've even known a few technology based businesses and sales people that became so frustrated that they called it quits!

  

Please don't do that!

If you...

 

  • Would you like to have a technology based business with all the clients you can handle
  • Want to learn how to make qualified prospects pick up the phone and call you...
  • Would enjoy picking and choosing the deals you want to work on...
  • Are interested in becoming a well-known and recognized expert in your industry...
  • Would like to attract more clients without feeling like a pushy salesperson...
     

...then I think you would benefit from what I have to say.

  

"There is a Terrible Myth that May Very Well Be Killing Your Technology Based Business, Even as You Read this Page. You see many technology based businesses believe that if they have a great technology product and/or service that business will come to them!
 

Well, you probably do offer the best technology product and you probably do offer great service. You have the best trained employees, the longest warranties, and the most awards.
 

But that alone doesn't bring you all the prospects you can handle... does it?
 

No! If you don't promote your business, it will eventually dry up and blow away - no matter how good your technology product or service is.
 

That's why I've created the SELL More Technology NOW! Total Technology Selling System™ and Sales manual.
 

"Now You Can Give Your Business The Unfair Advantage, Using Innovative Marketing and Selling Tactics That Get Results Fast"
 

Each SELL More Technology NOW! manual contains well over 200 pages, packed full of proven technology marketing and sales practices, that will improve the sales of any technology based product or service.

"Who Am I and Why Should You Believe Me?"

  

My name is Oreste J. D'Aversa and I have been in the technology industry for over 20 years and have worked sales and consulting positions my entire professional life.
 

I have worked for some of the world's largest technology companies, such as Computer Associates, PeopleSoft, and Cyborg Systems, closing software and professional services deals ranging from the low five figure to multi-million dollars.  I've also been a Director of Sales for a start up "dot com" and understand the challenges of selling technology based products and/or services when you are not a well known name like Microsoft.

 

I personally continue to use these technology based marketing and sales strategies in my book. This is not just theory. I know it works because I use it myself in my own technology based sales consulting business.
