HAM RADIO BACKGROUND
Amateur ("Ham") radio operators enjoy worldwide wireless communication with other enthusiasts and in doing so spread international goodwill. Hams are always prepared for portable-powered operations for emergency relief efforts during disasters. These have included, for example, Florida and Gulf Coast hurricanes, the Indian Ocean tsunami, devastating tornados, as well as our local blizzards and ice storms. Local hams have an ongoing relationship with the National Weather Service in Buffalo via the SKYWARN program and are prepared to assist the Rochester chapter of the Red Cross should normal modes of communication become overloaded or fail. Additionally, they participate in Ginna nuclear power plant drills. For many years members of the Rochester Amateur Radio Association [RARA] have provided portable communications for public events such as walk-a-thons, the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure, the MS 150 Bike Tour, the Rochester Marathon, parades, the Spirit of America Festival, triathlons, and the NY State Police-sponsored Pumpkin Patrol, just to name a few. Hams provide their communication expertise on a volunteer basis for the good of the community. Locally RARA members spend over 2900 volunteer-hours per year serving the Greater Monroe County region. For local Ham Radio information, go to the RARA website www.rochesterham.org, or for national information see the site for the American Radio Relay League http://www.hello-radio.org/. For information about Ham Radio or Rochester Amateur Radio Association contact Len Crellin, Media Communications Coordinator, 585-210-8910 or email: kc2pcd@rochester.rr.com.

Double Your Sales, Double Your Income
Time: 8:00 AM (US/Eastern) Location: Rochester, NYGetting sales is simple!
The more people you see the more you make, correct?
Sorry—wrong…for some of you. In fact, I’ll bet that some of your prospects wanted to buy and you didn’t close them. I know this personally, because I neglected to close more than once. That’s what I want to share a secret with you: a technique to remember to close—then how to close—that works every time!
Are you frustrated with—
— Prospects not returning your phone calls or emails?
— Prospects stating, “Call me next week…month…year?”
— No firm next steps in your process?
— Running around and getting very little money for your efforts?
— Getting rejected?
Tired of your income and want to take it to the next level?
The Facts—
1. A lead called 5 minutes after it was generated is 22 times more likely
to close than one called after 30 minutes
2. 78% of prospects who convert, convert with the company that first
called them
3. The average lead takes between 5 and 6 attempts to reach
4. Those who make changes in their sales process regularly make over
40% improvement in close rates
5. 40% of internet leads convert eventually… if they are consistently
followed up
Look what a Culpepper Sales Study discovered:
— 94% of all sales veterans have had fewer than 5 days of any
formal sales training.
— 87% of all sales managers have had fewer than 8 days of any
formal sales training.
— 98% of all salespeople don't follow a consistent sales method.
— 93% of all sellers volunteer a price decrease without being asked.
— 87% of prospected inquires are never followed up by a sales contact.
— 81% of all sales take five calls or more.
— 80% of all salespeople are willing to accept a 90% rejection rate.
— 40% of all sales veterans experience bouts of call reluctance severe enough to threaten their contribution in sales.
— 93% of all sales veterans have had no training on how to generate their own leads
Are you one of these statistics? It's time for you to move into the top 10%

Meet the Jetsons! The future is now! Web 3.0 Productivity tools for your business
Time: 8:00 AM (US/Eastern) Location: High Tech Rochester Inc. Lennox Tech Enterprise Center 150 Lucius Gordon Drive, Suite 100 West Henri
Register here: http://productivitytoolsforyourbusiness.eventbrite.com/
Art Fromm - Introduction to Webinar Mastery
Mike Krause - Introduction to Sales Mastery
In Art's session you'll learn how you can:
- Design and deliver Webinars that are impactful and require the full engagement of the participants
- Improve evaluation scores for webinar deliveries
- Improve the uptake and impact on the participants, ensuring that the objectives are achieved
- Drive more webinar usage, in a positive way, that reflects positively on the presenter, the department, and the company
What you will learn in Mike's session:
1. A unique selling proposition. What do you do that’s different? What is your true value in the eyes of your customer?
2. Know your goals. Are you setting realistic goals? Do you have a plan to reach them? Are they balanced with other aspects of your business?
3. Target market. Is your target market clearly defined? Can you explain why this is your target market? Does your target market define your value the same way you do? How are you communicating to your target market?
4. Approach letters. Do you have an approach letter (if not, why on earth not)? Are your letters resonating with the reader?
5. Messaging content and timing. What do you say in your voice-mail, website, marketing collateral, and emails? Do you know how to get prospects to return your call? Do you know the optimal times to call?
6. Sales process. Do you and your staff know all the steps in your process? Do you have a sales process (again, if not…why not)?
7. Appointment setting. It should take you seven days or less. Anything longer indicates a broken system. How long does it take to set yours?
BOTH SESSIONS for one low investment.
At each session there will be a random drawing from submitted business cards for a full refund of the admission fee!
Please join us, seating is limited. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
