How to Write a Book in 20 Minutes [Encore]
Hey,
Our marketing classes this month are on the single most-requested topic of all time: How to Write a Book in 20 Minutes!
Members loved these classes when they debuted nearly two years ago! As you know, there used to be no marketing classes in December because of the busy holiday season. We're starting a new tradition in marketing classes by doing an updated encore version of a favorite topic for our December webinar and seminar this year.
Is this webinar for you? Yes, if you are serious about writing a book (or even a blog post) but feel stuck, uninspired, overwhelmed, or just don't know where or how to start.
In this fun and fast-paced webinar, you will discover:
One simple method to organize and outline your book in just 20 minutes
An proven process for completing your writing project quickly and easily
A handy tool for getting beyond the stuck spots
The webinar is on Thursday at 10am Pacific, and all members are welcome. Registration is required; more details and RSVP here: Write a Book 20
Warmly,

Last Call for Super Sales Skills Training
Do you have a sales problem? Are you talking to prospects about working together but they just don't buy? Yes, you have a sales problem.
The problem is that you don't know what to say, and when (or how) to say it. And that problem is made worse by a lack of confidence.
Here's how to solve that problem: Create a sales script that works. Get comfortable with it. Use it.
Need a great sales script and the confidence to use it? Get it all in the Super Sales Skills Training on Friday, December 2nd at the DIY. Tuition includes lunch and materials.

Top 10 Ways to Ask for the Business & Close the Sale
At the What to Say When You Want to Sell marketing webinar this month, we discussed closing questions, specifically how to ask for the sale in a way that is comfortable, easy, and appropriate. Having that question figured out and queued up for sales conversations will make you more confident, and will likely improve your chances of closing sales.
Looking for ideas and inspiration for how to frame your closing question? Take a look at my article on the Top 10 Ways to Ask for the Business & Close the Sale here: Closing Questions
If you missed the webinar, you can get the audio, video and notes on the What to Say When You Want to Sell page in the Members Only area here: Say to Sell
