Private Coaching and Sales Training

Are you a mid-sized company just going into selling by telephone, direct mail and email, or a small company wanting to become a mid-size company? I will personally guide you as you develop systems tailored to your needs that will help you achieve your goals. I will help you eliminate the costly errors of “going it alone.”

Sales coaching will allow you to dramatically increase your success in half the time it would take to figure it all out by yourself.  Call me at 757.463.0924 to discuss your particular situation and how I can be of service to you and your business. I can work with you during a time of your choice.  You don’t need to re-invent the wheel; hiring me will save you time and money. Or . . . join me in the next

Sales-Building Four-Week E-Class

You are invited to participate in my next e-class. Because this is a four-week class that includes private, one-to-one unlimited training, coaching and mentoring by telephone and e-mail, it is limited to the first 10 people who register.

How it Works

As soon as you register, I will call you to have a conversation and find out about your specific situation and objectives and answer any questions you may have, then . . .

. .  I email the Week One workbook to you plus the assignment pages, which contain worksheets and seven assignments that you complete at your own pace and email back to me.

After I review your completed assignment pages, I will call and give you my comments, ideas and suggestions, answer any questions and then I will e-mail the second week’s workbook, and so on, for each week.

One advantage to the seminar lasting four weeks is:  it gives participants the opportunity to try out what is contained in the seminar, and see how it works. And when there are questions, I’m available to answer any questions or concerns at any time during the four
weeks.

At the end of the four weeks, I send a fill-in-the-blanks open-book review with key points and highlights of each week of the entire seminar.

Flexible Classes

This is not the type of e-class where participants must be in front of their computer on a certain day at a specific time. You choose the day and time during the week for each of your classes.

Feedback from seminar participants

“Ann, I just want to say ‘THANK YOU’ for partnering with Carefree to provide your outstanding sales training through your e-class services.   As a small business owner that wears many ‘hats’, the process of developing sales people has admittedly been challenging for me over the years (and very expensive when my efforts have failed!).   Your personal teaching and coaching approach with Michael, our most recent hire has given him (and me) confidence that he has the tools to do the job of growing customer revenues.   Your years of experience in our specific industry was one of the reasons I engaged you, but the results you have provided will keep me coming back to you as our company grows.”

“Working with Ann Barr has been nothing short of a pleasure! Cold calling was new to me, and Ann provided me some excellent suggestions from getting through to the gatekeeper, to getting my voice-mails returned all the way to how to market an email or a letter to ensure I grab the customer’s attention.  Since completing her workshop my confidence has increased greatly and I’m having much better results in all of these areas. Thanks so much for all of your help Ann!”

“I participated in Ann Barr’s online sales training seminar and would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for valuable sales tips and strategies that can be used on a daily basis. In addition to helping boost sales, Ann’s ideas and suggestions are effective tools in handling every day situations and the topics covered are hot points of discussion that are of extreme interest and that every sales person encounters at one time or another. It’s how you handle the situation that matters and Ann paves the way to understanding how to respond and reinforces the importance of maintaining a good rapport with customers as well as how to gain their respect. I have my own library of Ann’s sales books that I utilize and refer to all the time.”

“The owner of my company ‘Volunteered’ me to take over our $5,000,000 a year supply sales department. I did not have a clue. I remembered going to an Ann Barr sales seminar many years ago. I bought her book. I saved my job, increased supply sales revenue by 7%; more than doubled our profit margins. Ann Barr provides real life, instantly useful, hands on information.If you are new to selling or an old pro, her information will pay for itself the first day you use it.  Thanks Ann.”
