Speaker: Wendy Weiss, The Queen of Cold Calling

January 25, 2006 – Paramus, NJ – It’s never been more difficult to get in the door to see prospects, says Wendy Weiss, The Queen of Cold Calling. Wendy, a sales trainer, sales coach and author, helps entrepreneurs, business owners and sales professionals to gain confidence, reach more prospects, close more sales and make more money.

Decision-makers are busier than ever and budgets are tighter then ever, Wendy says. Status quo reigns. Few decision-makers want to take the time to meet with new resources and fewer still want to rock the boat. Given these almost insurmountable difficulties, how does the successful business owner and/or freelancer get the attention of and meet with potential new clients?

Gaining insight into these questions will be the topic of Wendy’s interactive workshop, titled “Cold Calling: Opening Doors & Closing Sales," sponsored by the NJ Creatives Network.

February 15, 2006 meeting begins at 7:30 p.m.

Workshop Topics
The Wendy Weiss workshop, “Cold Calling: Opening Doors & Closing Sales" will cover:

• The three keys to being comfortable talking to strangers on the telephone
• When they say “hello,” what should you say?
• And much, much more. The meeting will stress interactivity, providing ample opportunity for questions, answers and discussion.
