 Reaction to our first class, just last week, was outstanding.  We hope that 
you will be able to join us.

Here is what our students said about our first CRM course:
-  "Your course gave me tools that I can use immediately upon my return to my 
agency."
-  "The most interesting and active course I have taken.  Gave me a notebook 
full of ideas."
-  "Rick and Market*Access really understand the special needs of government. 
 Recommend it highly."
-  "My agency was just beginning their CRM strategy.  Your course gave us a 
foundation 
to start from.  Thanks!"

Please pass this message to your customer service, help desk, marketing, sales

This course is intended for commercial and government managers who sell 
products 
and services to the federal government.  Both industry and government will 
learn 
commercial best practices and be able to share ideas, strategies, 
lessons-learned 
among the attendees.

Downsizing. Business focus. Performance. Results. Increasing revenue. Sales. 
How will I find, qualify and close new business for my company or government 
fee for service or franchise business activity? These are new times for many 
companies and federal organizations who are chartered as franchise business 
activities 
(FBA), Fee-for-Service, CASU, or have regular contact with their clients and 
customers.

Now, these organizations are faced with the need to find, train, motivate and 
reward sales and business development personnel. Many of these people have 
never 
sold before. Join us for a two-day training seminar designed to instruct the 
newly assigned government sales or business development specialist in industry 
best practices for sales and marketing. This is a hands-on, tactical training 
course designed for contractors and government personnel who perform sales and 
marketing tasks and wish to move to new levels of professionalism.

Professional Selling is the art of discovering genuine needs, finding a 
product/service 
match and communicating with a potential customer in a persuasive manner to 
cause 
them to take action, make a commitment and buy. The Dale Carnegie Sales 
Advantage 
Training and Market*Access "Selling to Federal Buyers" training will teach you 
industry best practices adapted to the special needs of the government sales 
and marketing specialist.

The training is highly interactive. Participants see, listen to, and are 
motivated 
by other sales professionals. Practice selling, discussion, and analysis of 
various 
sales situations are key components in a motivational environment. The 
instructors 
know the federal government and understand its special needs.
