<p>The Sales Accelerator programme is a fresh approach to improving business development productivity. It focuses on identifying and using a series of business productivity metrics in order to build a clear action plan for improving sales results - typically within 90 days. The metrics are grouped under three headings:</p><p>The basic principle is that a small improvement in each area can lead to a significant increase in sales results and productivity. And the object of the programme is to show how best to achieve that.</p><p>The programme therefore looks at each of these three areas in turn, spending a day on each.</p><p>Suitable for any and all businesses and all levels of experience and expertise, this is a remarkably practical and hands-on programme. During the workshop, participants discuss, review and apply many proven sales and marketing techniques and personal selling ideas. The goal is to generate and commit to changes and actions that can lead to a 10-30% increase in the next three to six months.</p><p>There's also a consultancy option, rather than the workshop-based programme. See below for details.</p><section>
                    <h3>Day one - Activity</h3>Key objective<p>This first module introduces the Sales Accelerator model. The goal here is to show participants how to increase their pro-active activity levels by around 10%. It covers all aspects of creating new business opportunities, from existing customers and non-customers alike, and is linked to personal activity improvement goals.</p><p>Main elements</p><ul><li>Improve the productivity, accuracy and effectiveness of your business approach by using new and unique models and techniques.</li><li>Different methods of creating and generating new business opportunities in the short, medium and long term. This includes sourcing new business, up-selling, cross-selling, warm calling and gaining referrals.</li><li>Using organised persistence to track and build new customer revenue.</li><li>Managing your sales time effectively.</li></ul><p>Key learning points</p><ul><li>Sales productivity - understand the dynamics of increasing the combination of activity levels, deal value and conversion rate of proposals/quotations to orders and implement an improvement plan.</li><li>Sales goal setting: setting business development objectives for quantity and quality - plus tips and tricks of top performers.</li><li>Maintain a peak activity level, on a consistent basis using 'organised persistence' and structured business development tracking methodology.</li><li>How to prioritise opportunities and manage your time when sourcing new business.</li><li>Identify potential new customers - and particularly the decision-makers and influencers - with greater accuracy.</li><li>Make outbound business or appointment calls with improved confidence, control and results.</li></ul> <h3>Day two - Value</h3>Key objective<p>To be able to better anticipate, identify, create, and develop business opportunities using a customer / client-focused communication-based business model and consultative skills.</p><p>Main elements</p><ul><li>How to develop sales more effectively from new and existing customers; and managing the first appointment with a new customer.</li><li>Use structured and assertive drawing-out skills to identify, develop and formalise business opportunities and to gain commitment.</li><li>How to better position your company and your products and services against your main competitors.</li><li>Create and deliver persuasive business messages based on specific need areas, criteria and value.</li></ul><p>Key learning points</p><ul><li>Advanced consultative selling - use a variety of structured and advanced questioning techniques to confidently and efficiently uncover opportunities, need areas and business criteria - confidently and efficiently.</li><li>Involve the customer/client at all times, and to a far greater degree, and keep better control of business development process.</li><li>Value message - differentiate your solutions clearly and accurately with customer/client-matched value statements.</li><li>Presenting the <em>right </em>USPs, features and benefits and making them relevant and real to the customer.</li></ul><p>Qualification and reading buying signals.</p> <h3>Day three (held around four weeks after the first module) - Conversion</h3>Key objective<p>This module looks at how to improve the final qualification, progression and conversion of opportunities in your sales pipeline. Also includes price negotiation, overcoming objections and obstacles to gaining agreement. The module begins with a learning review, sharing participants' experiences over the last four weeks in applying the new techniques and skills acquired during the first two modules. This is an opportunity to revisit particularly challenging areas as well as to share and celebrate successes.</p><p>Main elements</p><ul><li>Structuring and preparing for negotiating a deal and knowing when and how to move into the 'end-game' mode.</li><li>Anticipate and answer customer objections and questions more confidently.</li><li>Build more credibility and proof into your business process to reduce 'buyer's remorse' and speed-up decision-making.</li><li>Being more assertive and developing better instincts and strategic thinking in progressing quotations and proposals.</li></ul><p>Key learning points</p><ul><li>Smart ways to position price, emphasise value and be a strong player without being the cheapest.</li><li>Becoming more assertive in closing deals, and the importance of organised follow-up on the telephone.</li><li>Qualify pipeline opportunities with more accuracy, using a proven check-list.</li><li>Use an 'option generator' to simplify complex proposals, increase business value and close business faster.</li><li>Writing more effective sales proposal documents and quotations.</li><li>How best to draw-out, understand, isolate and answer customer objections, negotiate points and concerns.</li><li>Practical methods of asking for agreement and closing a sale</li></ul>

Within the basic four colour energies are contained two sets of opposites.
Underlying each pair of opposites there is a TENSION.
This tension acts like a force, just like gravity. You cannot see it, you cannot hear it or touch it with your hands. You will, however, experience the impact of the tension.
We each make a choice in how we perceive this tension. We can choose to be proactive and use this tension to create win/win outcomes. We can choose to be reactive and disconnect from the energy viewing it as a negative.
The choice we make determines our results.
It is important to remember, we make our own choice. The person who represents your opposite energy is not responsible for your choice.
When you’re proactive in engaging with this tension you achieve successful dynamics. Become reactive with this tension and you will experience dysfunctional dynamics.

The Opposite Colour Energies
Blue & Yellow are Opposite Colours
The tension between Blue energy & Yellow energy is based around IDEAS and PROCESSES.
Red & Green are Opposite Colours
The tension between Red energy & Green energy is based around TASKS and PEOPLE.

With this software we explore the uses of words, shapes, textures, forms, sizes and colours to communicate by combining ideas and images to make a new concept. Graphic design through common misconception is not just about layout and typography, but much more about ideas behind visual meaning. Graphic design can make a company more successful in the world if it makes communication smart, attractive and able to captivate its audience. Graphic design can effectively be used by businesses to make (or break) their brand identity, increase sales, promote web traffic or promote services and products through advertising on their websites to convey complex data to its readers in a clear way.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Elements of graphic design include:&nbsp;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Colour, Size, Texture, Line, Shape, Space and, Form</strong>. It is important that each element is understood correctly, and this is one of the key principles we teach on our graphic design course. In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages through visuals. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as pages of web design.

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be.

She love thrillers where the location is as integral to the plot as the crime i.e The Dry by Jane Harper and The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse, and would love a good locked-room thriller but is only looking for fresh and unique ideas in this area. 
She is also on the hunt for a glorious book club love story that is doing something a bit different and special i.e Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid or Liane Moriarty! Or smart, contemporary, observant romcoms with a very strong emphasis on diverse / own voices. 
Finally, she would love a historical that vividly brings that period to life as well as having a stunning plot i.e, The Familiars by Stacey Halls and The Doll Factory by Elizabeth MacNeal.
Amanda would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the opening three chapters (max 5,000 words).
(In addition to the paid sessions, Amanda is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).

TWO SPACES LEFT! 8th November Amanda Preston #Agent121. Looking for: ADULT FICTION

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION
Sian Ellis-Martin joined Blake Friedmann in 2018 and is building a list of fiction and non-fiction at the agency. 
With regards to fiction, Sian is looking for commercial, upmarket and accessible literary novels. She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character’s life and be swept into the narrative as if she’s been there all along. She’s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She’s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she’d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.
In non-fiction, she’s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you’d never thought you would be. She’d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.
She’s not currently taking on YA, children’s, fantasy or science fiction projects.
Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document. 
(In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline 20and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
