| Free E-book: The 10 Step Design Process
Sales is not about forcing someone to buy your product. It's about getting them to WANT it. It's about getting them to want your product RIGHT NOW.
There is a difference between "selling" and getting a client to buy. This free E-book describes the process we developed at Garden Concepts that creates buyers.
The sales system we created at Garden Concepts eventually came to be called The Ten Step Design Process. Its goal is to make the potential client a BUYER. After all, people DO NOT LIKE TO BE SOLD TO. BUT THEY LOVE TO BUY! Click here!
| Document Package Over the years, many people have asked to see the documents we use in our office. Very few outside our office have seen them. Now you have a chance to get them for yourself.
A full list is on the web site, but the set includes our Design Contracts, Construction Contract, Change Orders, and the one that changed my business the most, the Pre-Contract Agreement.
Until July 4, 2009, you can get all of these and more for only $47.
Testimonial: I just downloaded this e-book and purchased the business forms two days ago. Wow!! Where were you two years ago while I was in school? This stuff is so inspiring, instructional, organized, and I will be utilizing most (if not all) of these in one form or another in my own business. This is an outstanding price for so much information that can can be used right away. Tim you are awesome!! Thank you. Seth
