The Sales Scripts Tool template included with the Sales Scripts Pro package was created using Microsoft PowerPoint 2003.

To use the Sales Scripts Pro template and build your own sales scripts tool as shown in the ’step-by-step’ training tutorials, you will need to have either a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint installed in your computer, or a similar application that allows you to create slides and buttons linking to different slides.

Microsoft PowerPoint can be purchased from most software vendors that sell Microsoft products. It also comes bundled as part of the Microsoft Office suites. Most businesses that use computers with Microsoft Office products should have Microsoft PowerPoint already installed.

If you do not have or do not want to buy Microsoft PowerPoint, you can use a FREE presentation application that will import your Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 files. This application is called “Impress” and is part of the “Open Office” software suite available as a free download from OpenOffice.org.

An entrepreneur who is focused on building a systems-driven enterprise will seek ways to standardize their business so as to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and ultimately maximize profits. “Scripting” their operations is one way to create an objective standard that can be continuously measured and improved upon, as well as implemented enterprise-wide.

Many sales people resent this approach, however, especially those trained in the old school way of doing sales. This group consists of people whose ability to sell depends on their personality and their ego, their years spent accumulating specific product or industry knowledge and perfecting closing skills and sales techniques, and various other subjective tools and skills they have collected along the way, which they believe makes them not only more valuable in the market place, but also indispensable to the organization that employs them. To these sales individuals, the idea of using sales and presentations scripts is often met with great reluctance, and for a very good reason … if you could achieve the same results using an inexperienced sales person that costs less to hire, then where would that leave them?

As creative beings, we tend to embrace the idea that we should always be unique, genuine, spontaneous and original when interacting with other fellow human beings, and resist the idea that most of the time, we actually do things in a repetitive, robotic and mechanical way. We often use the phrase “creatures of habit” to describe members of the human species, and in many ways we are creatures of habit.

As a species, however, we also get easily bored when asked to do things in a repetitive, monotonous way.

So, how can we reconcile these two opposing and conflicting forces into the way we do business so that we actually progress forward efficiently using repetitive systems, while at the same time retaining the element of “freshness” and originality in all of our interactions?

We do this by using scripts that allow us to achieve our business goals and that focus specifically on creating the right experience for our prospect.
