CERTPOINT - CEO OF VUEPOINT SHARES WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BRAND AMBASSADOR ON “SALES TALK WITH RUSS LOMBARDO” INTERNET RADIO SHOW

Long Island, NY. November 2006 - , It doesn’t matter how great a product may be, in today’s world of ubiquitous information it is essential to differentiate your product and brand from the product and brand of the competition, and to relate that knowledge to your particular customer. This very important sales concept, based on “Transforming Sales Reps into Brand Ambassadors,” a white paper from Vuepoint Corporation’s CEO Ara Ohanian, was the subject of Voice America Business’s internet radio show “Sales Talk with Russ Lombardo’ on Monday October 30th, 2006 at 4:00 pm EST.

Ohanian explained to Russ Lombardo, renowned Sales and Customer Relationship Management consultant and author, the concept of being a Brand Ambassador rather than simply a salesperson. He explained that a Brand Ambassador effectively promotes a product through truly understanding the brand and what it means to both the organization and the customer, and interpreting these concepts into useful information that the individual consumer can use. “Think of it as a salesperson playing checkers, and a Brand Ambassador playing chess,” Ohanian further explained. Surprisingly, this concept is lost to many brands and there is a great disconnect between the Senior Level Executive’s idea of what their particular brand means, and the salesperson’s idea of what the brand represents.
