What A Waste(basket)!

The #1 author and authority on sales presents seminars on sales education (not sales "training" -- ask him to explain the difference between "training" and "education") all over the world. In every single one of the events I've witnessed, Jeffrey Gitomer shares the ugly truth with audience that no one reads their sales brochures (GASP!)

As a matter of fact, he recommends you simply crumple-up your brochure and deliver to your prospect inside of a trashcan, telling them "I knew it was going to end up there anyway."

The twist is, he tells the audience to deliver it in a really cool trashcan printed with their company logo.

After a recent seminar, I sent Jeffrey a link to what I thought was "a really cool trash can" and asked if I could be the one to print HIS logo on it, so that he could use it as an example in his seminars, as well as a product he could sell on his own website. A month later, the Gitomer 'Trash Talk' Wastebasket was produced.

More than featuring just a logo, Jeffrey's trashcan features quotes on the subject of trash from 19 of the world's great philosophers, authors, thinkers, actors, athletes, industry moguls, politicians, comedians, and cartoon characters (including Jeffrey.) While your crappy company brochure won't be read -- you can bet each and every quote on this wastebasket's large 10" x 27" full-wrap imprint area will.

If you're interested in having your own marketing message or logo printed on these wastebaskets (or just need some additional marketing and promotion ideas designed to build relationships with prospects and long-term clients alike) please contact Don The Idea Guy by calling 614-340-7910 or write ideaguy@salestoys.com.
