Do you really know your sales numbers? Not just the end result of how many ads you had in your last publication rather the details such as how many people you need to speak with to get one ad, or what your closing ratio is and how many spec ads are needed to be sent out per day.

This webinar will look at what the “best of the best” classified salespeople do on a daily basis of how they track their numbers and plan their days to achieve consistent success regardless of the market conditions, month of the year or the territory they are sell into.

This webinar will cover:

-How many sales calls are needed to be successful as opposed to the “shot gun” approach.

-How to balance prospecting, selling and servicing calls on a daily basis.

-How to understand calls to contacts ratio, contacts to appointments ratio and appointments to sales ratio.

-The 10 most effective questions to ask to really understand what a customer is trying to sell.
