In a down market, a solid rental operation can mean the difference between profitability and loss. Are your front-line team members able to bring in the rental dollars that you need? Equip them with the tools and skills they need by registering them for this powerful webinar with Don Buttrey of Sales Professional Training.
The AED Foundation now offers equipment dealers a low-cost, very convenient sales training opportunity specifically for rental representatives and coordinators! This three-part webinar series will help rental professionals sell themselves, sell skillfully on their feet and be readily prepared for every selling situation they face in their fast-pace selling environment.

Why should Rental Sales Professionals attend this Webinar?
- The market is in a downturn, specifically in housing. Every potential rental opportunity is critical!
- Previously high business levels typically distract reps from proactive activities. Slower economies indicate we must incorporate specific selling activities to win business and develop new accounts.
- Rental business is inherently a near commodity market. Equipment brand value is a minimal advantage.
- Dealership value is difficult with the continued price pressure ? but must be sold consistently to create a dealer value perception.
- The rental selling cycle is usually very short and spontaneous tactical selling is essential.
- Wear and damage issues, and rate comparisons are unique objections that must be handled skillfully.
- Relationships and the differentiation that the rep brings is a primary selling advantage.
- The webinar training option is a very low cost alternative which eliminates travel, minimizes time away from the field, and avoids coverage issues!
