How Customers Use Film Brochures

1. One-on-one

2. On laptop computer presentations

3. In group presentations within your PowerPoint (and video projector)

4. Left with prospects after sales call to reach people not in meeting

5. As a mail out to prospective customers

6. At Trade Shows

7. As a pre-call introduction

8. Given or left for people that refuse to see the salesman (they will watch the film as a bargaining chip to avoid the first sales call)

9. To answer questions after meeting - by replay of film

10. One-on-one in phone calls - they can watch the film on the interent while you stay on phone with them. (With your photo on personal sales page as introduciton - when you cannot go in person.)
