Marketing Secrets Learned In Prison
An Interview (Part 3) With Legendary Sales Coach Ben Gay III

Ben Gay III is a world-renowned sales trainer and author of The Closers. He's worked with marketing giants like Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar and Ray Considine, and has helped countless businesses increase their sales performances.
Although Ben ran a prison program for five years called People Builders that taught prisoners and staff alike how to set and achieve goals, it wasn't until he was sent to prison himself that he learned some of the most valuable lessons about business and life.
So in this audio, you'll hear Ben's incredible story about how he was railroaded on multi-level marketing charges and sent off to prison - but how he took his sales training with him to help the people around him turn their lives around - all while virtually running his business from behind bars.
You'll Also Hear…
• The truth behind Ben's indictment and the one mistake he made that got him 15 years in prison
• What Ben knows about Earl Nightingale that most people don't
• Secret techniques Ben's learned from Ray Considine for networking in even the strangest of places
• The cheap trick Ben's wife used that almost bankrupted his business while he was in prison and how he got it all back
• An "almost magic" way to command respect anywhere - Ben had everyone calling him "Mr. Gay" in prison - even the guards
• The one-and-only proven-effective sentence to use in marketing that gets a name out there, even when no one has heard of it
It would have been easy for Ben to just sit around and do his time for the six years he was in prison, but instead he took "his show on the road" and taught everyone he came in contact with how to effectively turn even the most negative of situations into a positive.

Sales And Marketing Legend Ben Gay III Reveals …
"The Secret Of The Close"

Produced/copyrighted by Michael Senoff of HardToFindSeminars.com (Used by permission)
Ben Gay III is a marketing legend. When he was working alongside Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill way back when, Ben was the “young guy.” Now, he’s the last living link to that era of marketing genius.
And in this interview, he shows new marketing consultants powerful techniques they can use on every deal.
According to Ben, the most important thing you need to remember when you go out there is that you’re just as smart as 90% of the people who come through the door, if not more.
You have a proven system that works and scripts to use along the way. But, he says, in order to close, you’ve got to know what your last sentence is going to be before you start talking, and then naturally direct the conversation to that sentence.
He also suggests that you start seeing people as new friends instead of prospects. Ben’s had clients for 20, 30, even 40 years because he considers each one a friend. And in this audio, you’ll hear how to make those kinds of relationships too, along with the exact sentence Ben uses to close on a new friend.
You’ll Also Hear . . .
• The art of the referral fee – and a quick story that illustrates why it’s so important to either do it the right way or just forget it altogether
• The one person in your town you should always try to think about if you want to do cold calling the easiest (and most efficient) way possible
• The difference between “sales coaching” and “marketing consulting” and how to add the relatively new field of coaching to your consulting practice (along with 5 other income streams you may be able to add too)
• Ben’s polite way of turning a free call into a paying client by basically announcing, “Sorry, but the freebie is over”
• How charging for his advice actually made Ben’s life easier (and more prosperous) and the no-nonsense way Ben gets paid for his time before he sends out the bill
• A trick for getting prospects to cold call you
• 3 ways you can project credibility without saying a word
• A little story about the man who built his thriving business of 40 years off referrals generated from one cold call
• Clear and straight-forward advice for anyone worried about landing their first client
Believe it or not, you don’t have to be some sort of “overachiever” to be successful in marketing. All you really need is a plan and a little know how.
Ben admits he made Cs in high school and couldn’t make a sale for the first six months of his career. But he kept swinging at the ball with clear obtainable goals in mind.
And he’s been knocking them out of the park ever since (47 years later and counting).
And in this audio, he shares it all with you. And if you stick around to the end of the audio, you’ll hear the very generous offer Ben’s offering to listeners.
So meet Ben Gay III...the person with the unique ability to explain consultative selling in down-to-earth terms you can easily apply.
