E-KMI Feature Writer to offer phone seminars for salespeople WHEATON, IL - TGIF&K stands for "Thank Goodness It's Friday and Kahle," the title of the series of monthly telephone seminars presented by Dave Kahle, a well known industry sales expert AND e-KMI feature story writer. "Each seminar focuses on some aspect of the salesperson's job," Kahle said. "In 60 minutes, we provide participants specific and practical education about how to be more successful at sales. Participants receive a monthly dose of inspiration and motivation." According to Kahle, the series is "a simple, inexpensive way to stimulate sales staff to continuous improvement -- sales education during lunch, over the phone, requiring no travel, at minimal cost, and with no time away from the job." Seminars are held on Fridays at 12:00 and 3:00 PM (Eastern). Participants sign up for a program, or subscribe for six or 12 months at a time. Subscribers can have as many people at the other end of the telephone as they would like. The week of the program they receive a handout, via e-mail, to be duplicated for each participant. At the time of the program, they call the conference number, and enter a PIN to be connected. During the seminar, Dave Kahle explores a specific best practice for salespeople, and participants follow along with their handouts. About 15 minutes of each session is devoted to a sales clinic -- interactive questions and answers about sales issues and problems. Participants may fax in questions, or ask them over the phone. The program ends after 60 minutes. For more information, contact The DaCo Corporation at 800-331-1287, or visit www.davekahle.com/virtual.htm.
