Leading Sales Firms Unveil TOTAL SALES, a World Class, End-to-End Revenue Building Solution


Award-Winning Sales Growth Now Obtainable


Houston, TX - April 21, 2004



-The Institute of Certified Sales Professionals (The iCSP) and GrowthNet today launched TOTAL SALES™, an integrated suite of services that helps clients increase their annual revenues by at least 10%.

TOTAL SALES™ is a best fit for organizations with 10 or more sales professionals selling business-to-business. TOTAL SALES™ identifies the areas most restricting sales growth and provides an integrated program that substantially increases revenue flow in 12 months or less.

"What we've done", explains The iCSP Executive Vice President, Dylan Gray, "is integrate the most powerful internal sales, sales management and quality-controlled sales processes with the most effective customer prospecting, selling, proposal and closing technologies available".

Sony Ericsson, a worldwide customer of The iCSP, recently returned to profitable operations and improved their revenue by 68% (to 1.3 Billion Euros) within 14 months of implementing The iCSP's Sales Excellence program. Techniques used to help Sony Ericsson are now embedded in TOTAL SALES™ (along with GrowthNet's accelarants) and available to our clients.

"We compress multi-month sales processes down to as little as just one week”, says GrowthNet International President,
Lonnie Byers. “We deploy and use online technologies that speed sales qualification, while simultaneously reducing costs associated with salesperson time and travel. Once in place, your sales staff can't go any faster."

TOTAL SALES™ was created by combining The iCSP's internal-focused, sales process optimization methodologies with GrowthNet's customer-focused sales solutions.

TOTAL SALES™ offers sales assessments, personalized education, sales processes, certification, performance management, branding, positioning, competitor analysis, client profiling & targeting, sales channel optimization, communications, selling systems, multi-media, demand generation launch, qualified lead generation, sales campaigns, sales staffing/recruiting, and more to provide a complete sales solution.
