Your Name Your title Your USWeb Office The US Web Advantage Your Name Your title Your USWeb Office Message to Affiliate Presenters... Presentation Use and Purpose: This presentation is designed to present the advantages of working with USWeb to a client during the first face-to-face meeting about a project and to set the stage for a consultative-selling relationship. It assumes that you have spoken to the client previously and have done some of the customer and project qualification. In other words, this presentation is designed for a customer that is ready to embark on a project or is in the vendor selection process. It is not designed to “sell” a customer on the need for an Internet/Intranet project. All Affiliates, sales associates, and customers are different so it’s almost impossible to write one presentation that works for every situation. Use this as a template for creating a consultative presentation that works for you. We are interested in “field testing” this presentation and adjusting it to work better for everyone. Please forward any comments or suggestions to Jay Lee jlee@usweb.com or by phone at (408) 986-6720. *note: This presentation uses Ariel Narrow as its main font.
