John Crocello

Sir Speedy

"Steve, I love your Selling Magic system. I'm so glad we made the investment. The email marketing module you built for us is working great. It never fails that after I push my systems button; someone usually calls us or sends us another order. This really is – "push button" selling. I have also benefited from your sales coaching advice to gain business on several accounts. I'm a much better salesperson because I follow a system. Several of our new accounts have come as direct results from the letters and emails. We know this because they have commented on how professional our marketing campaign is. One account in particular could be over $100,000 in annual revenue. The system is a Winner

I just wanted you to know that we are ecstatic with your systems results and look forward to your improved email marketing system when it comes out. We also appreciate your commitment to our success and the helpful tips you give us on using ACT and our Selling Magic selling system. Your system and support is what made the difference."

Sir Speedy

"The Selling Magic System is working for us better than we ever expected. We have been working with Steve and Selling Magic for over 2 years and the system keeps getting better and better. The updates and special templates they have created for us to increase our sales have set sales records for us. With this system, we are focused on selling with a system that has proven it's self over and over. We start each day with a few push button clicks and in about an hour we are finished with what used to take all day. Now, it is easy to set appointments and we get compliments on our follow-up all the time. Sometimes, I have to ask Ernie to give me a break on sales appointments because he seems to set them so much easier with this system. We wouldn't be without this system and frankly, I don't know how some businesses, stay in business without a system like this. All I can say is - Buy it - you won't be sorry."

"Steve, I wanted you to know that Bonnie is now doing more with the Selling Magic system than I thought she ever could without it. The sales reporting I used to get from her was limited information on what she was doing, Now I get Real Time reports that tell me what sales activity is taking place and where she might need assistance. Although she might not always like this, this has dramatically improved my sales management opportunities. Not only has that, but her contact level with customers skyrocketed. Instead of the old number of sales contacts, as a sales team we are entering new territory which is almost 10 times what we used to do. The great thing about the system is that is does so much of the work for us once we started using it. It really is like having a sales assistant. There are times when we are near the triple digit level of contacts. With the system, this is all traceable through ACT. I envision new ways we can use this selling system to capture new business. The bottom line is that we are getting sales results and I'm getting great sales management tools with this program."

Don Sanders Sir Speedy

Don's comments regarding Sales Management:

"One of the largest gaps in skills we have as quick print company owners is sales management. Many times our reps come and go and we struggle to understand why. We struggle to gauge productivity. We let opportunities pass us by with no strategy for follow up. On Target

Selling Magic has been a valuable tool in assisting with these issues. Communication happens almost automatically to prospects and clients with very little time and effort. We are able to maintain a “top of mind” positioning with those we place in the system. The letters and communications that are produced are relevant and wide ranging. We are delighted with our decision to utilize Selling Magic."

"Steve, the Selling Magic system is working like you said it would. We have generated new business and have increased revenue from our existing customer base because of the consistent contacts with our clients. Although I get frustrated from time to time trying to keep up with the system activities, we know our efforts are paying off and the system is working.

I want to tell you that without your support, we wouldn't be this far along. You have really given us more support than we expected and I can always rely on you for good sales and marketing advice including one-on-one support. I enjoy the value of the email marketing templates and look forward to being part of the Advantage Program to keep my system updated. Yes, I recommend this system to anyone who wants to build strong customer relationships."

Food for Thought!

When you compare the investment of a Selling Robot, to the cost of a human sales person, there is huge advantage with our selling system. The cost of salary alone, not including health insurance or extra benefits makes our Selling Robots a huge advantage to your business. look at the comparison below and decide for yourself.


Estimated Annual Investment	Cost More - $24,000.00 to $100,000.00 This range of investment includes the time required by management to hire, train and manage a salesperson. The monthly minimum investment is estimated at $2,500 with NO guarantee of increased sales.	Cost Less - $6,000.00 to $10,000.00 This range of investment includes the time required for a Selling Magic selling system. The typical monthly investment is estimated at $300.00 based on a monthly commitment which includes full support, install and training.
Return On Investment	9 Months - It can take a business 3 months to fully train a salesperson. It then takes another 6 months for the average salesperson to reach break even. Unfortunately, most salespeople don't last beyond 16 months for various reasons.	3 - 4 Months - It can take 2 to 3 weeks for Selling Magic to program a Selling Robot to match your goals and objectives. It then takes about a week for you to get familiar with system. It usually takes about the 3rd month for most customers to reach break even results and 6 or 9 months for double digit results to take effect from the complete system.
Primary Objective	Self Centered - Humans are great hunters and farmers which is a great trait for selling. However, we are also very self-centered and this keeps us focused on the primary mission of survival. Salespeople often focus on the short term goals and forget about the long term advantage of following a systematic approach to selling. -Targets only hot prospects. -Not interested in long-term company goals. -Doesn't like to complete activity reports.	Business Sales Development focused - A Selling Robot is programmed to follow the best practices of selling for all areas of business development including new and existing clients. -Starts new customer relationships. -Manages sales activities automatically. -Builds stronger existing client relationships. -Systematically asks for referrals. -Follows up on all quotes and proposals. -Follows up on all future sales opportunities -Reports sales activity with exception reports.
Sales Training Investment	Longer Training Cycle - A human must be trained and monitored to consistently follow a selling process. In many cases, a selling process is NOT in place and one must be adopted by either the salesperson or the business. Humans are NOT programmed or able to consistently perform at the same level of performance as automated systems. This becomes a challenge for most businesses to maintain.	Short Training Cycle - A Selling Magic system is programmed with the best practices of selling. A human simply pushes the automated selling buttons each morning. The system will perform 79% of the time consuming tasks a salesperson should be doing each day with virtually no training. This leaves more time for salespeople to sell! Plus, the system mimics the actions of a seasoned salesperson automatically.
Sales Performance Issues	43% of Salespeople don't reach quota - Although a human is suited for interaction with other humans to generate and build strong relationships. Unfortunately, with the technology revolution and the Internet, human interaction is becoming less and less frequent or required for closing business. A human has limits, gets tired and doesn't always perform as expected.	Performance Guaranteed - A Selling Magic system is programmed to effectively perform sales activity tasks that are only limited by the performance of a salesperson at the push of a button. We build our selling system so they interact with the growing trends in business using letters and emails while prompting salespeople so they stay on track and perform better.
Customer Building Communication Issues	Limited Communications - A human typically communicates in one or two methods. Although there are 4 different ways to communicate, salespeople typically use only the telephone and in-person visits. To be more effective and efficient, email and letters must become part of selling. Salespeople need help to perform these tasks!	Balanced Communications - A Selling Magic sales system helps a business build strong customer relationships with an automatic follow-up system. -Sends personalized letters for the business. -Sends personalized emails for the business. The system reminds salespeople when to contact customers and what to do to increase sales.
Turn over Resource Issues	Frequent Turnover - On average, a salesperson will stay with a business for less than 16 months. When a salesperson leaves, the client records and the relationship is jeopardized. This reduces business value particularly when a business development program is not in place. This costs!	NO - Turnover - A Selling Magic sales system increases the value of a business by having a consistent selling program. When a business is sold, one of the key influence factors is if the business has a growth development program. This is a distinct advantage for a business over the competition if it is going to be sold.
Sales Management Issues	Difficult to Manage - Sales record keeping is a challenge for most salespeople including sales managers. Record keeping mandates take the focus from selling where it should be -- to keeping good records. The results are often poor records and poor sales management.	Easy to Manage - A selling Magic sales system automatically records the selling actions with push button simplicity. When you have a Selling Robot keeping records you can manage the activity with tremendous accuracy and correct poor habits before they become issues.
Remote Sales Long Distance Virtual Sales	Challenged Growth - A typical business is challenged with long distance sales people traveling or living away from headquarters. The monitoring of these sales activities adds extra costs to keeping long distance sales teams.	Easy Remote Management - A Selling Magic sales system has an optional virtual component that allows for virtual sales activity reports. the only requirement is an internet connection to sync up to download sales activities and submit action notices.
