General Guidelines to sale - Without knowing more about your market, company, products, etc. all I can do is provide a general answer. Determine who is your ideal prospects, craft an offer or two that you believe, based on information you have about your market, company, prospects, etc., these ideal prospects will respond favorably to and then deliver the message. Methods of message delivery might include telephone calls, in-person visits, mail/email, advertising, etc. Does that help?
Unneccesary euphamisms - For the last year, my computer has been protected by Norton Utilities. For the last several weeks, periodically a dialog box would pop up saying, "Norton Utilities needs to verify your subscription." I always ignored it, because every day when I logged on, Norton did its diagnostic check, and periodically updated itself, so I knew it was running just fine. Today the truth came out, my Norton subscription expired today and I needed to [i:17owzylp]renew [/i:17owzylp]it. So if this dialog box had just come right out and said, "Your subscription will expire in three weeks, renew now," I may have taken action long ago. (Although probably not, as I prefer to wait until the day it actually expires to renew). "Verify" doesn't even mean "renew" in any way shape or form, so it's just a stupid word to use in the context, and if there was a way for me to email them directly and comment on that, I would!
