by Anonymous

July 23, 2004 -- An original educational and motivationally enhanced Audiobook incorporating 15 “Keynote” Professional Selling Techniques with original complementary musical interludes is creating excitement in the corporate and business sales world. Collins Educational, LLC of Hooksett, New Hampshire has introduced the “Sound Selling Audiobook™”, a first of its kind Audiobook that draws upon proven cognitive learning techniques.

The 15 Keynotes to Improve Your Personal Effectiveness were developed by the people at Collins Educational. After attending a fund raising concert for his son’s critically ill music teacher, Dan Collins realized that he could integrate the 15 Keynotes professional selling techniques by including the influence of music. This presentation stands out among other typical sales training messages because it draws upon educational and learning research that accentuates its effectiveness. Cognitive psychologists, such as Howard Gardner of Harvard University, have confirmed educators’ understanding that we have a variety of different, but mutually enhancing, avenues to learning. Gardner’s "Theory of Multiple Intelligences," suggests that individuals perceive the world in at least nine different and equally important ways. Research suggests that the more senses we use, the deeper and broader the degree of learning. Innovative teachers regularly use musical, intrapersonal, kinesthetic, interpersonal, auditory and visual learning styles to supplement the learning experience for their students.

The 15 Keynotes are sales fundamentals that provide proven sales knowledge to novices as well as seasoned sales professionals. The 15 Keynotes guide sales professionals through the fundamentals of attitudes, beliefs, sales planning, staying focused, connecting to customers and identifying their needs, creating value and credibility, integrating passion and strengths into the sales process, assuming the sale and asking for referrals.

Drawing from this research, the “Sound Selling Audiobook™” effectively interweaves all of these elements, providing a verbal listening experience, a visual experience with the included workbook, an integrating musical experience, and a kinesthetic hands-on experience. “These are powerful tools that solidify learning and retention,” explains Collins. “The ground breaking Sound Selling Audiobook™ program improves sales performance by using these modalities in expressing the fundamentals of sales techniques in a fun, simple and convenient way.” continues Collins.

This unique learning experience is why the “Sound Selling Audiobook™” is receiving such enthusiastic accolades from sales professionals around the country. Kevin Hallenbeck, president of BestSalesPeople.com, an affiliate of the Sandler Sales Institute said, "Effective selling is about having the proper mindset, your “Sound Selling Audiobook™” gets right to that point. For many who struggle with their attitude and belief about sales, this program makes a huge difference!"

Nate Lindquist, president of Varuna Design & Advertising, LLC said, "Your Audiobook not only focuses on key fundamentals for my team, it simplifies the process of learning into a relaxing meditation and a feel that allows me to look forward to listening to it over and over again! You've invented a series of affirmations and positive reminders, instead of a hard sell motivational piece. We learned from it and we did so in a very comfortable way!" Joseph Jarnutowski, president of System Development Company relates that this Audiobook is a “concise, convenient tool for any sales team to use. It is a fresh approach that has brought us great success.” The “Sound Selling Audiobook™” is available on an Enhanced CD, “See What You Can Hear”, as an educational and motivational tool for sales professionals, sales managers, entrepreneurs, business owners, executives or anyone involved in the process of dealing with customers or sales prospects.
