Stanley R. Medley maintains a number of internet sites and blogs. This is a review of his various websites. The current sites are StanleyRMedley.net (offering all us of a chance to network with each other.) StanleyRMedley.org ( Offering us his own political model, political science-fiction, and a forum for us all to express our own political models.) StanleyRMedley.info ( a place for the expression of truth) and StanleyRMedley.com (offering poetry, humor, witticism and the like.)

StanleyRMedley.com has poetry, witticisms, and other humorous offerings such as: Observation #12 (Weekdays) Who the hell likes Tuesdays, Wednesdays, And Thursdays.

StanleyRMedley.net offers networking: “Network: (definition) (v): communicate with and within a group; “You have to network if you want to get a good job” ( if you want to build a business, find that girl/guy, etc.) SO let’s NETWORK Find your Area of Interest on the TOP MENU then . START! If you have suggestions for a new network category enter it the SUGGESTION BOX.”

StanleyRMedley.org poses the question: “WHAT is a political Model? It’s an Ideal..The way politics should be. If enough people come to understand and subscribe to an ideal.well it becomes a reality. On these pages I will present a political model.a political ideal for you to subscribe to.to foster.to help grow into a reality..it is just a matter of time.and effort!”

StanleyRMedley.info poses the questions: “Is it true there is no absolute truth? Is truth self-evident? Or is that just another lie..or perhaps it only appears to be a lie to someone who cannot see. TRUTH is created.then usually hidden.then eventually revealed.and THAT is the TRUTH about truth. This website is devoted to the pursuit of revealing truth. TRUE, there will be rules for the revelation of truth.but any rules here should be self-evidently TRUE.”

My favorite site is still StanleyRMedey.com. I like the humor.

Finding a way to quickly find prospects in a down economy can often be frustrating because it requires a shift in thinking and a shift in the sales process. The company that shifts gears into a new sales process in a down economy will likely gain market share while their competitors wonder what happened.

To make the adjustment of the sales process during an economic slowdown, the best method is to use a process that is quick, inexpensive, and easy to implement. These methods allow the salesperson to quickly qualify a number of prospects since more qualified prospects are necessary because closing ratios tend to drop during tough economic times.

Finding a good prospecting list is a skill that every business needs. The targeted prospecting list gives the company a focus on the “most probable customer”. By focusing on this list the probability of success is high since the salesperson is calling on the prospect that will most likely buy.

One way to get quality lead names is through the use of Splash Pages or what is more commonly called and Landing Page on the Internet where the prospect fills out a form for more information. Typically the form will be filled out in order to get what is called a “Permission Marketing” piece or access to a White Paper.

In order to educate the prospect, sometimes a direct mail piece is sent to the prospect to warm them up prior to a phone call by the salesperson. Psychologically this also makes it easier for the salesperson to make the call.

It is recommended that you use a Sales Process Consultant to draft and create your follow-up script to be used with Landing Page Leads. This script will engage the prospect, create a dialogue with the prospect so the salesperson can determine if the lead is qualified. It is best done by a qualified Sales Process Consultant.

When Cold Calling a list it is important that you not sound like a telemarketer or a salesperson. If you do you will likely trigger sales pressure and the call will end quickly with a “I am not interested”, or “we have what we need”.

The fear of making of making Cold Calls often freezes a salesperson and causes them to not reach their monthly sales goals. To overcome this Call Reluctance it is important that the salesperson or organization find a Sales Coach that help them immediately overcome this fear by reprogramming their subconscious mind.
