TOUGH SELLING FOR TOUGH TIMES
In this high-energy show, Murray will tell you how to “Listen” to your customers, “Sell” to them and “Reward” the 20% who give you 80% of your sales.
This show is chock-full of case histories, anecdotes and ways to kick your business engine back into high gear.


UP THE LOYALTY LADDER

From his book of the same name, Murray’s presentation “Up the Loyalty Ladder” details the five steps on the customer Loyalty Ladder for your business:

1. Prospect: Someone who has heard about your business, but has not yet shopped with you.
2. Shopper: Someone who comes in occasionally.
3. Customer: Someone who shops with you fairly consistently.
4. Client: Someone who buys everything you sell that he/she can use.
5. Advocate: Someone who buys everything you sell that he/she can use, and also recommends you to all his/her friends.


BRANDED!

Murray explains the power of branding to market, advertise and promote your business. You can carry national brands and private label brands, but you also need to brand your company so your business will stand out in front of the competition.


CHANGE!
With five key points, Murray shows the audience how their businesses can survive and grow in this time of fast change.

1. Give a clear, targeted message.
2. Include individualized products and services.
3. Assure value.
4. Provide great service.
5. Build loyalty to your customers with rewards.


CUSTOMERIZATION
The most successful businesses tailor their products and services to what their customers want by following the number one rule: “Find out what your customers want...and give it to them!” This fast-moving marketing and advertising show contains Murray’s ideas for promoting your business with the customer in mind, using direct mail, the Internet, newspaper and in-store advertising.


FIND, CAPTURE AND KEEP CUSTOMERS
In this exciting show, you’ll learn a three-step process to find, capture and keep customers. First, know who you are, know what makes you different and know your customers. Next, bring your message to your customers through in-store marketing, print, broadcast advertising and the Internet. Then, you can beat competitors with your service, customer rewards, loyalty marketing and one-to-one marketing.


  “Over the years we have contracted many professional presenters, and we feel that your presentation was perhaps the best ever. Not only did you capture the attention of everyone in the room, you spurred them to action. Several franchisees commented that you provided them not only with solid marketing information, but also gave them actual tools that they could immediately put to work. This type of information is invaluable.”
 
Frank L. Oliver, VP Operations, FastFrame
