From: Art Sobczak
President, Business By Phone Inc.

Dear Fellow Sales Pro,

If you are a serious sales person, AND,

... either tired of not getting the results you want (or worse, getting kicked in the teeth by prospects and screeners), OR,

... are an already-successful sales pro who realizes the only way to continually get better is to continually MAKE yourself better, listen up...

I invite you, as my guest, for FREE, to try my Telesales Success Inner Circle of Elite Sales Pros. This, quite simply, is the widest and deepest collection of telesales and prospecting information on the planet.

This is not "telemarketing" or cheesy, worn-out, recycled salesy nonsense. You get real-world, time-tested, conversational, instantly-useable tips, techniques and processes anyone can use right now to get more yes answers and fewer no's.

"Using just one of your techniques, I closed a $10,000 sale I wouldn't have otherwise."
Nancy Aldridge, Bose Corporation


My Inner Circle, simply put, is,

  • an online library of sales resources you can access and search on at any time to get the answers and how-to's you need at that moment, and,

  • an ongoing stream of audio, video, printed, and online information you get regularly from me to keep showing you how, and prodding you to sell at the highest level, and,

  • membership in an active, success-and-wealth-focused, online community of sales pros and managers, like you, who realize that the best salespeople know they must continually grow to get better.

You pick your level: (Gold and Platinum) for sales pros, and one specifically for managers (Managers Platinum).

The best part is that you will try it for FREE, right now, and get access to hundreds of dollars worth of information, and all of the next two months worth of Full Member services.

Check out the specifics below.

Gold Member Plan

Gold Members receive all of the following:

1. Telephone Prospecting and Selling Report Monthly Sales Tips Newsletter, Hardcopy Mailed to You
(sells for $167 yearly)

For over 23 years, the Telephone Prospecting and Selling Report eight-page monthly newsletter has revealed the sales and prospecting secrets of professionals who really know how to turn the phone into their own money machine.

Every issue is packed with how-to, what-to-say and how-to-say-it tips you will use that month to get more agreements from prospects and customers.

See an actual issue here.

Each issue's cover article explores a sales topic in-depth, giving you specific strategies and tips for dealing with it on your calls. Regular additional features include...

  • Art's Call Clinic where I break down a call I've received, or transcripts or situations from readers. These are likely situations you encounter.

  • "What's Working in the Field," suggestions and success stories from other professionals like you.

  • Regular columns each month from sales trainers and authors Jim Domanski, Jim Meisenheimer and Joe Catal

  • Art's "Sales Observations," which are his rants, brief sales points, book suggestions, and other nuggets

  • Numerous other brief, concrete, how-to tips you can use instantly to avoid resistance, get through more often, and sell more


Because you get the newsletter in PRINT FORMAT (eight pages) you'll be able to really enjoy it. You can hold it in your hands and read it while relaxing in the living room, having a beverage, waiting in traffic, in between calls, whenever. AND, you'll be able to access the current issue any time online, from wherever you have a computer.

The printed newsletter alone will pay for your monthly membership investment. In fact, if you were to JUST get the newsletter, it's $167 per year ($13.91 per month).

BONUS: I'll let you know the instant the newsletter goes to the printer, and you will be able to access an electronic PDF of it online a full week before the hard copy arrives.

2. Telephone Prospecting and Selling Report Monthly Sales Tips Newsletter Online Archive Access for over the past TWO YEARS worth of issues
(over a $334 value)

You get access the entire archive of the past two years worth of issues. You'll get the same information subscribers paid $167 per year to get!

Check out the archive of past issues here.

“Art, I have been in some kind of marketing, mostly sales, for just short of 50 years. Your stuff is among the very best I have come across.” Peter Quinn, Sr


3. TelE-Sales Tips of the Week THREE YEARS
Archive Access ($200 value)

You get access to the past three years of my weekly email tips online. Over 150 total. They're searchable so you can find exactly what you're looking for. Check out the Sales Tip Library above and to the left for the topics, and you can do a sample search above and to the right at the top of the page. Just one Tip alone could pay for an entire year's membership or more!

"...my sales went from $40,000 to over $100,000 in six months by using Art's ideas." Susie Slifer, Cross Sales Rep, Hagerstown, MD





4. Bi-Weekly Audio Podcast ($240 yearly value)

You can listen to and/or download my five-to-eight minute podcast every other week. Listen to instantly-useable sales tips at your desk computer, or download them onto your Ipod and learn while exercising, commuting, or anywhere! Plus you'll have access to the entire archive as they are added.

I will send you an email every two weeks letting you know that the new podcast is ready. This bi-weekly dose of training and inspiration alone could pay for your entire membership every month!

Listen to a sample podcast here

"Art, I have been in one form of sales or another for over 35 years and your process and products carry as much value as my many years of first hand trial and error.... Where were you back in the late 60's?! I really could have used your help again in the mid-80's... , Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Napoleon Hill, Brian Tracy, and now Art Sobczak. I have you now and for that I am thankful, Very Thankful!" Jim Day, Nomadic Display






5. Ebook: "How to Place the Successful Sales and Prospecting Call"
($29 Value)

I'll show you my sales and prospecting system, step-by-step so you can easily follow my methods for avoiding resistance, creating interest, and getting more appointments and sales in less time. Customers BUY this book every day for $29. It's yours FREE, instantly, just for trialing the Inner Circle AND getting all of the other free information.


"I just got off the phone with a prospect who informed me that this was the first time he gave a sales call more than 3 seconds over the last 10 years. I used your opening statement advice to attract his interest.” Cameron Mitchell, Ryzex Group







Picture Description

6. Membership in the "Telesales Network-
Where Sales Professionals Connect" (priceless)

This online community is a business/social network for successful sales professionals. It's sort of a grown-up "MySpace" for wealthy salespeople, and those who desire to be. Here you can,

  • meet other sales reps and managers, and search for them by industry, job function, and/or geography,

  • participate in the general forum, or form your own group for a particular area of interest, industry, or sales specialty. Here you'll discuss challenges, success stories, share tips, get encouragement, share leads, find a mentor, be a mentor and much more,

  • share actual recordings and transcripts of sales calls and copies of literature, advertising, websites etc. to get feedback from other sales pros

Let's face it, most people don't relate to what you do, they do not understand the challenges you face, they are not as successful as you are or will become, and overall can't understand what you deal with on a daily basis. In the Telesales Connection you will associate with professionals just like you who do what you do.

There is no other way to gain access to this elite group of sales professionals than through the Telesales Success Inner Circle. I'd like to let you take a peek, but, the members who are already in really would rather not have people who are not committed to success checking out their profiles. But it's pretty simple to join. Read on.


To Review...

Ok, so within a few minutes you will immediately get $562 worth of information. That is not a bogus number like you see all over on the Internet. We sell all of this stuff everyday and that's what it would cost to buy it. And don't forget the value of membership in the Telesales Network community, which we wouldn't sell individually even if someone wanted to join.

Plus, for the next two months you will have the same access to new material, and receive the same newsletters that Full Members receive.

(And, oh, I wasn't going to tell you this, but after your two-month trial, and you become a Full Member, I'm going to send you some surprise gifts over the next few months. )

You get all of this information right now, AND access for TWO FULL MONTHS for just the shipping and handling fee of $3.95. (We mail you the hard copies of the Telephone Prospecting and Selling Report) After your trial period, your monthly investment charged to your credit card is the ridiculously low rate of just $19.95. Again, you can quit at any time by emailing us or calling.

(Outside of United States: If you are outside of the U.S., your initial shipping is $7.97, and your monthly investment after 60 days is $24.97--because of the extra postage for the items we actually ship you.)

Why Am I Doing This? Won't Someone Just Take All of The Free Stuff Without Any Intention of Staying a Member And Cancel?

Oh, sure, there are those types who will undoubted do that. But, I also know that most people who are truly serious about their sales and income success, after tasting the numerous benefits they will get for two full months will remain members for a long, long time. And their sales and income will increase dramatically.

So, don't delay. Start your free trial right now!

REGISTER FOR GOLD PLAN 2-Month TRIAL FOR One-Time Shipping Fee of $3.97

If You Are Outside of United States
Register For Gold Plan Trial for $7.97 (International)

No-Risk, Quit-At-Any-Time Guarantee

If you decide that Telesales Success isn't worth your small investment each month once you become an Active Member, simply email or call us and you will not be charged again.

It's that simple: You have no risk. If you take the profession of sales seriously, what could possibly stop you from joining?
(By the way, I've been in business over 23 years, so you know you are dealing with a top-notch organization that stands behind its products.)


BUT WAIT! WANT EVEN MORE?
DO NOT REGISTER UNTIL YOU CHECK OUT THE PLATINUM PLAN BELOW


Platinum Member Plan

As a Platinum Member, you get ALL of the services and bonuses above, PLUS,

7. Telesales Success Bi-Monthly Audio Seminars
($79 monthly value)

Every other month, alternating with your Telesales TV program (see below) you will have access to a one-hour audio seminar packed with must-have information that will directly and immediately help you on your calls. Here are just some of the upcoming programs:

  • "The Twelve Best Sales Questions," Jim Meisenheimer

  • "How to Develop Your Persuasive, Million-Dollar Telephone Voice," Susan Berkley

  • "How to Cultivate a Network of Endless Referrals/Prospects," Bob Burg

  • "How to Develop Interest-Creating Opening Statements That Generate Interest and Avoid Resistance," Art Sobczak

  • "Interviews With Screeners: Who Gets In and Why, and What Is Guaranteed to Get You Screeened Out."


In addition to listening to these programs online, or downloading them to your iPod or mp3 player, you will receive in the mail the actual audio CD to play in your car, or any CD or DVD player.

These audio seminars will be sold to the public for $79, but you will get them as part of your Platinum Membership.


8. Telesales TV Bi-Monthly Video Training

($97 bi-monthly value)

Every other month, alternating with your Telesales Success Audio Seminar above you will have access to Art's video training.

Each 15-20-minute program will include,

Art's Big Lesson, where I explore one aspect of the sales and prospecting call, break it down, show what to do, and what not to do with lots of specific, word-for-word examples.

We'll cover how to deal with objections the right way, how to question at the level most people don't know about, words to use that ensure prospects will do what they say, and more.

In addition I will answer questions from other members, and present a number of brief instantly-useable tips you will use right away.

This WILL NOT simply be a dry, talking head video. I guarantee this program will be fun, and something that you will look forward to playing as soon as it is available every other month.

AND, in your mailbox you will get an actual DVD of each new program for the life of your membership. You can watch it on any DVD player.

We will sell these to non-members at $97 each, but you will get them as part of your Platinum membership.

. Personal Telephone Access To Art Sobczak
($800 yearly value)

You will get a special hotline telephone number for personal access to me for whatever you'd like to ask or share. Four times per year during scheduled Platinum Only Call-In Days, you can call and get 15 minutes with me. Ask questions, share your opening statements, questions, get advice on specific calls or clients...whatever you'd like. I will be your personal coach. I promise I'll hold nothing back.

I have not done personal coaching in the past (other than with training clients who invest thousands of dollars per day with me)  but I will now begin with Platinum Members during these times.


10. Must-Have Books and Other Resources

Being a sales scientist I often uncover a book, CD, article or resource that is truly remarkable and can change someone's life and skyrocket their career. When I find these, I will give them to you. That's right, I'll actually pay for the resources and send them to you. Again, this is only for members of my Platinum Level.

Everything in the Gold Plan, Plus All of The Platinum Services For TWO MONTHS For a Shipping Fee of $9.97!

That's right. You get everything in the Gold Plan, PLUS all of these Platinum services for two months FREE, just for the shipping charge of $9.97. After that point your monthly automatic investment is just $97.

(Outside of United States: If you are outside of the U.S., your initial one-time shipping is $19.97, and your monthly investment after 60 days is $107)

Yeah, But Why Should You Invest $97 Monthly

Well, let me ask you...

-Are you anywhere close to realizing your income potential in sales?

-Are you 100% satisfied with the money you make right now?

-How much do you spend now--not invest--on cable TV, cell phones, Starbucks, and every other habit you have? So my question to you is, is ANY of THAT putting money in your pocket, or are you peeing it  away while other, educated, motivated sales reps make the big money?

Go ahead, pull the trigger. Try the Platinum level, on me, for two full months. You've got nothing to lose, and a better life to gain--unless you do nothing.

ATTENTION MANAGERS: Wait, Do Not Sign Up Yet! You Will Want the Managers Platinum Plan

As those of us who have done it know, managing inside sales reps, and managing outside sales reps who prospect is not your typical managerial function. You won't find the blueprint for how to do this in a book. But you will find answers here. We have a plan just for you. You'll get some special services, and will be able to sign all of your reps up at the Platinum Level. Here's what you get:


11. Quarterly Telesales Managerial Success Audio Seminars

($396 yearly value)

Each quarter you will have online access to an interview/workshop with an expert on inside sales and prospecting management. Our first workshop is  "Motivating Without Money" by expert, author, and manager, Dave Worman.

Additionally, you will get an audio CD of each program so you can listen wherever you'd like and also use it for training your other managers and supervisors. AND we'll send you a written transcript of the program.




12. Platinum Managers Only Discussion Forum

This closed-door forum is only available to Managers Platinum members. Here you'll network with your peers in the field, sharing and getting ideas, tips, tools and the other resources you need to manage and motivate your team, from others who are in the same situation as you. Here you'll exchange information with the select few in the world who do what you do. Where else could you easily go and discuss issues with others who actually understand what you're up against every day?



13. Dramatically Reduced Rate For Platinum Level Membership For Your Reps

At your Managers Platinum Level, you will not need to invest the regular $97 monthly rate for each of your reps to have access to the Platinum Level information. You will be able to sign as many up as you'd like at $60 off! Just $37 monthly per rep. 

Each rep will have his/her own username and password and get complete online access to everything at the Gold and Platinum levels. You will receive one package each month with all of the newsletters, DVD's, and CD's for your reps.
