I am writing with a background of having been CFO of several companies, including two listed on The London Stock Exchange.
The board of any large national company are busy people, and your chances of getting an audience are slim at best. The chances of them having the time to follow up after any meeting are likewise pretty remote.

Can I suggest a different approach...Find the younger executive in marketing or sales, one who is ambitious and enthusiastic.

Approach him or her with the benefits of becoming an ECA, . Now you have a "product champion" within the company,
He or she can work to get the approval necessary to start marketing products. You need to be aware that there is an investment required, even if it is just photography and time.

Of even more importance, you now have a product champion with a point to prove, who will work with you to make sure that the project is a success.
Best of luck however you decide to approach this

This is one of the hardest thing to accomplish and we can’t take it lightly that is going
to happen and easy to do when we are ready but they are not , it is not easy for many
reason because of the grid lock and much more.

Hundreds of small business entities try each day to put their foot on the door to meet
Business executives or CEO’s to introduce or market their business and it takes them
Months or years to break through, some did and some didn’t , it is always not only
Your effort but also who knows who, either you believe it or not.

For your part when you have a plan like this, the first thing what you need to know
Is about the company you are targeting to. Not only about one company but this
apply to all of them.

You need to have a complete knowledge of that company in side and out more than the
Company CEO knows about.

What business they engaged in, how many employee’s they have, who are their suppliers,
What kind of products they have and how do they acquire their products , and how do they
market their product at present time, The companies profit and loss, if they are privately
owned or by share holders, and more.

This and others of you research or study will help you to get the upper hand to impress upon
them than your other competitors trying the same thing like you when you get a chance to
meet them.

You will reverse the roll, instead of they tell you about their company, you tell them about
Their company and you will explain easily how joining you will strength their company
Stability and they will be better of marketing their product through you will strength their
Bottom line.

This will strength yours and your company credibility and you will gain trust quickly.

While getting in touch with the CEO’s is not easy as I stated from start, your another
Creative approach might be also easier to accomplish, instead of you going to them
To let they come to you. A person I know for long time, tried to break through to meet
CEO’s to market his business and couldn’t get the slightest chance to accomplish it.
Well after a long trial and error, he opened his own millionaires club to advice and
Market his product. Lo and behold the same group he was trying to reach for years but
Couldn’t do it became his business customers.

This reverse physiology works well also, so expand your horizon.

Don’t Sweat It when it comes to strategies for Meeting and Connecting with CEO’s and Directors/Owners of potential ECA companies. Firstly, you need to:

Act like you belong! A CEO has limited time, don’t waste it, be bold, know your stuff, and be confident in what you are trying to market to them. They are CEO’s – remember they, in their own brilliance have achieved a level of rank that demands successful behavior, attitude and professionalism.

Provide value first! You need to open up your meeting/presentation with all the right facts with figures to back them up, a CEO will want to know what is in it for his company, and within a very short time of your meeting – don’t miss this window, as you will lose your limited opportunity window.

Do your research in advance! Make sure you arrive on time, and are well versed, prepared and above all else you have to talk the talk and know you your objectives for any question or eventuality that may arise. A CEO will not entertain a call back if you are unsure of your own objectives and what you are marketing.

The trick here is the gatekeeper. You need to find that person in that company you are targeting. Most will have at least one and familiarity is paramount. Now a gatekeeper is your key person into that company – your lead, this is vital to meeting the right people in the company whom you can win over, they will then become your driving force and your success rate of signing them up as an ECA will improve beyond your expectations. Often, the CEO is bound by a board of directors and cannot make the decision you need alone. Always bear that in mind! Sometimes, starting with one of the marketing team members may be your best route and foot in the door.

So you have to do some homework:

Actions:
- List all the questions you need to ask and all information you need to get
- List all the people in their hierarchy who can answer most of the questions
- Narrow your questions to very few but highly relevant to their level

My top suggested questions:
1. If there is one thing you want to change in your corporate or business process. What would that be?
2. What are some of the secrets for reaching where you are now?
3. What are the major changes you are expecting in the trends of your industry?
4. To which new horizons are you willing to take your business?

Hi Marlene

All owners of a business house are like CEO and VIPs as far as their business or companies are concerned. You need to give equal importance to all owners irrespective of size of a business.

If I am approaching any owner for ECA program, I will call him on telephone and fix up a timing for the meeting so that we both are mentally prepared for listening to each other.

After meeting him/her, I would explain as to what is an ECA program of tripleclicks.com is and how it is better than other online selling programs like Amazon or Ebay.com

Then it very important and necessary for me to have knowledge about all prevailing online business and I should be able to prove how ECA program of tripleclicks.com is better than the other online businesses.

If I am able to convince the CEO or VIP owner of a large business house that the selling his/her company’s products on Tripleclicks.com as an ECA would be advantageous to him and his business, he/she is surely going to become an ECA.

Hope it helps
Have a nice day!

"How would you approach the CEO or other VIP of a large, national company to become an ECA?"

Firstly, you should get an appointment. Contact his secretary / PA and ask for an appointment for business purposes.

Secondly, you must prepare for the appointment. You don't want to get there and stumble over your words. Role play with a friend and make sure you can answer any "stupid" question without hesitation.

Thirdly, prepare some paperwork for him to read. He would probably say, "I have to think about it." Then you give him the papers to read. Attach your details either as a complimentary slip or business card to these papers. And make sure your stuff is on TripleClicks letterheads!

Fourthly, you must be dressed appropriately. Make sure your clothes for the interview is portraying professionalism.

Lastly, go for it! And all of the best!

Hi Marlene,
This is a good question.
The way i approach CEO or VIPs of companies are the following:
1. Being a CEO of my company and business myself i know the CEO mode of business and ethics and i follow it.
2. I dress corporately with my skirt suit with SFI or Tripleclicks T Shirts as my inner layer. Dressing with the SFI T shirt is to give the CEO a good concept of where i am coming from and the business and the company i am representing.
This will also rouse the curiosity and the interest of the CEO himself or herself. Doing this will let the CEO know that my company is a legitimate one and put his or her mind at rest. The way i am dressed will determine how i am addressed. So my dressing is very important.
3. My Packaging: how i package myself and my resources matter a lot: My outlook.
Am i rough or neat, disorganized or organized will judge the response of my recipient and the company i represent. So i go there organized, neat, composed and my hair neatly packed. All my marketing tools and materials are neatly put in two folders arranged neatly. One for SFI, Tripliclicks ECA and the other packages of Tripleclicks.
4. With 1-3 in place, i arranged myself while seated with my knees crossed, looking eye to eye with my recipient to explain my purpose of coming with smiles on my face.
After the talk, i give my recipient the opportunity to make his/her decision and i give a firm handshake with smile on my face as i appreciate the time given.
Most give in to the proposal and they await approval from Tripleclicks.

First understand that CEOs and VIPs are distinguished social class and treat them as such.
Understand also that they are very busy too. Haven't said so now to book an appointment, you may do any of the following

Or you may just place a well planned call to book for same

At the date and hour booked for, be careful to be there on time

Be sure to have packaged your sfi business very well in a simple, direct and convincing manner.

Never forget to let them know is at no risk and no cost to them.

All they need to do is aquire the sellers licence thats all

All throughout be bold, self confidence and esteem should be high but be concise and direct

Hi,
the best way to get VIP national company as an ECA is to personally visit the manager responsible for the company, sales, or sales department and tell them that you have the perfect offer if they want to increase their sales. Expressing the wish that you spend 10 minutes and they briefly explain how they would simply be traded in 190 countries around the world. Who would defend to sell more?
Show them how to be included as ECA and finish a deal.
Tell them they have nothing to lose, they can only increase sales.
During all keep a confident approach and you win.

How would you approach the CEO or other VIP of a large, national company to become an ECA?

Well... a CEO or other VIPs in a large, national companies are probably too busy for some long talks or presentations... what would I do is:
1. be prepared with max 10 minutes presentation on main benefits (free registration, no cost to enter product/services data, free internet marketing from affiliates all over the world, etc.) all ready on my laptop, in written material and in speech;
2. find out who are the people making decisions in the company (secretaries, sellers, etc.) and get in very good relations with them (having in mind that either a CEO or other VIPs are acctualy just approving the decisions made by the people that seems not important to us (their drivers, secretaries, etc.)

Hope that my answer helps a bit!
Have a great day!
