To Your Netweaving Success!  Looking forward to seeing all of you and your guests at our next Netweaving After Hours!  Save the date . . . Tuesday, May 11, 2010 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm.  Location has not been confirmed but watch for the announcement!

Thanks so much for reading!  Your comments are gratefully appreciated!

Did you think we disappeared and went away? Not on your life! We went quiet for a few months become we have so much going on.

Here’s the deal. Last year I got hooked on Oprah’s Big Give show. Each week the contestants got to help people in need. The spirit of the show was so positive and upbeat. I loved it.

Then a couple weeks after it ended, the idea hit me.

We were on our way to Grand Forks, North Dakota to visit my college-age son. About 4 hours into the trip, I had a revelation. I could create something similar to Oprah, but for people who sell.

I’d call it the Great Sales Give and each month, I would:

• Give away great sales training resources - stuff that big companies pay me lots of money to train their salespeople on.
• Have drawings for other high value sales material: autographed books, CD programs, and more.

And everything would be F-R-E-E & F-U-N! Totally. You’d just have to sign up once and each month you’d get more of these top notch sales resources delivered right to your inbox.

Well, my dream is finally a reality at www.GreatSalesGive.com.

This month, I’m giving away my most popular audio program, Developing Strong Value Propositions audio program. In it, you’ll discover:

• Why you need a strong value proposition today.
• How to talk about your offering so prospects want to learn more.
• How to use your value proposition to get into new accounts.
• …and much more.

Sound good? Visit www.GreatSalesGive.com right now.

Please, please, please – SHARE THIS WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS, TOO! They’ll thank you for it.

You just tell them that your good friend Jill Konrath …. who just happens to be the author of a Fortune-recommended, bestselling sales book, Selling to Big Companies … is losing her mind.

I know it’s uncommon in today’s business environment to be giving good stuff away for f-r-e-e. But it is how I chose to work. I’ve done this before with:

• GetBacktoWorkFaster.com: To help job seekers; free book & webinar series.
• SalesShebang.com: To provide women sellers with top sales advice from women sales experts.
• SellingtoBigCompanies.com: To help small companies win big contracts.

Join me at the GreatSalesGive.com. I’m committed to your sales success!

Best regards,

Jill
