Creating a Personal “Fast Facts Profile” Or “FFP”
Salespeople who study “Situational Selling” or “Personality Styles” all know that their individual clients will be moved closer to closure when the salesperson uses marketing tools that produce information to the client from a second and third party platform. Proper use of these tools will help you blast through rapport and trust and get to those levels of intimacy that all clients would like to enjoy. A Fast Facts Profile will help you do just that.
So, in creating this tool you’ll need to consider these items:
- Design it as a mini-web-site
- Talk to all four personality styles (think-feel)
- Personal biography
- Professional biography
- 8 ½ x 11, something you can fax and mail
- Network with it – use it as a promotional piece
- Think about your personal info on the first page
- And your company information as a second page
- Use visual impressions
- Personal logo
- Professional photo
- Family photo
- Passion photo
- Your mission statement
- Your personal operating principles (let me know if you need help with this)
- Why a client might want to work with you
- Why you like working for your company
- Top hints as they relate to your industry
- Favorite personal development quote
- One of the most important:
- Actual Third Party Testimonials
In developing these, keep in mind a couple of things. First, by using bullet points you’ll be able to fit most this information on a one page sheet with two columns. Second, apply these rules when in development: Who cares? So what? And, what does it buy you? Answering these three questions during development will help you develop a very nice and tight marketing piece.
Good luck,
Chuck

Hi Chuckmeister!
I definitely “connected” with you through your youtube videos. I’m getting all fired up about “creating” some new vistas for myself. You seem like you would be an excellent coach. Yes I am coach shopping. I’ve been a Chirpractor for 30 years (age 59-I still think that I’m 21!)and have developed a kick ass stop smoking program.
Have you or do you work with service professionals? Because you and I both know that
“marketing is everything” and “everything is marketing”. “Tell me about you” (Sound familiar?)
Best- Terry

Hello Terry D.C.!
Thanks for your comments and glad you are putting to use some of the videos. There are about 30 videos and around 40 articles at http://www.chuckbauer.com so make yourself at home utilizing this free resource.
Congratulations on your K.A. Stop Smoking program – the ENTIRE WORLD could use that. Way to go!
Now, on to the sales coaching. You and I both know that you are not going to make a decision on your coach via an email message
– right? And, yes I do work with service professionals on an ongoing basis. We would need to speak a couple of times via the phone as I need to get to know you and make sure you are the RIGHT candidate for my six month individualized coaching program. I have a certain things I look for in my clients in an effort to make sure that we can bring you the success you deserve and a revenue increase. Beyond that, let’s buy back some of your precious time.
With that being said, e-mail me at chuck@chuckbauer.com and let’s set a time for a :15 minute call sometime next week.
I appreciate your considerations and look forward to making positive contributions to you personally as well as professionally.
Continued success,
Chuck
BTW – 59 is PRETTY YOUNG these days!
