    You Don’t Need Social Media. You Need A Strategy.

    You don’t need social media. You don’t need a website. You don’t need mobile. You need a strategy.

    Before you create noise, you’ve got to know what you’re creating noise about and why anyone should care.

    Bruce Turkel shows his audiences exactly how to build their brands online. He will show you how to take the best tools, tips, and techniques from the analog world and move them online where they will generate global interest and response.

    – Why an unfocused online presence is like a tree falling in a forest.
    – The danger of GMOOTs and how to avoid their traps.
    – How to build a powerful brand that will make a difference online.
    – How to tailor your message for each of the different social media.
    – How to get the most bang for your buck and increase the echo effect.

    The Design of Sales

    Instead of worrying about how well things work, consumers now buy things for how they look and feel, and more importantly, how the products make them look and feel.

    Today an in-depth understanding of the modern consumers’ purchase motivations is what the best salespeople are using to push their products and services.

    The savvy salesperson understands that their job has changed the best of them into editors and curators – constantly reappraising the aesthetic and lifestyle advantages of the products they sell and demonstrating these benefits to their customers.

    In this talk, audiences will learn:

    – How to uncover the motivations of today’s consumer.
    – The real difference between features and benefits and how to sell them.
    – Why the traditional “Speeds & Feeds” sales strategy does not work anymore and what has taken its place.
    – The critical difference between content and context, and how it can multiply your sales.
    – The special sales secrets that are hidden in plain sight.
