Trying to procure new clients has always been a challenge for the average sales person. Knocking on doors and trying to get past the receptionist to see the person who makes the buying decisions is almost impossible. The receptionist is instructed not to allow you to see the buyer without an appointment, and to never give out the name or direct telephone number of the individual who makes the buying decisions. This is where you need to be a little creative to get the name and valuable appointment to make your presentation.

At Choconet, we have 2 products that have proven to be very successful in getting the receptionist to pass your card along to the buyer and divulge the information necessary for you to do your job. We have a milk chocolate business card which can be customized with your corporate logo and your name and telephone number. It comes packaged in a flip top window box which can also hold a printed business card as well. This way when the prospect eats the chocolate version, they still have the paper version to refer to .If you want to get your foot in the door, we also have a milk chocolate foot which can ...
... fit in the same business card box mentioned previously. Either option has produced many success stories from sales people who have in the past had great difficulty in getting past the guard post (front desk) at many companies.

If you would like to speak to one of our knowledgeable chocolate consultants regarding the implementation of a chocolate card or foot for your next attempt at getting a few new clients then contact us at 877-924-6206.
