The Perception Of A Difference Program
This program has moved more than one hundred businesses from impending failure to robust success. Early in Its use it failed in six instances. These failures taught us what to ask and what to look for before we accept you and your business for the program. We make no guarantees, other than pay as you go terms allowing you to stop at any time.
Restarts your company, profits, growth
The Goal
To shape your company into a selling and servicing team that provides lifetime customers with first quality products, systems, service and advice and has fun doing it. Profit and stability will be automatic when this goal is achieved on a continuing basis.
The Philosophy
The philosophy of The Perception Of A Difference Program stands on three conceptual legs. When all three are maintained so they are equally strong, your company cannot be easily tipped over.
The Perception Of A Difference Program provides the following benefits:
• It provides knowledge of the selling, serving process as a whole, and when, how each person will carry the ball with their expertise.
• Long term success, profit and both personal and corporate satisfaction result from consultive selling and serving by people who understand the continuing educational process it requires.
• The methodology creates awareness of the perception of a difference, its powerful effect on every person we talk and work with, and making this awareness habitually effective in everything your company does.
These three conceptual legs enable your company to make good first impressions and develop long lasting and profitable relationships with customers.
First, everyone in your company is part of the selling and serving process. Each team member has several areas of expertise which come into play with customers and prospects at appropriate times in the selling and serving process. It is analogous to team sports wherein sooner or later each team member is in the position to pick up and advance the ball toward the end zone or shoot a basket. To do this successfully every team member must know and understand the rules and how the game is played as a whole.
Second, long term success, profit and both personal and corporate satisfaction result from consultive selling and understanding the education process inherent within it. No one will buy from a person they do not like and trust. Liking or disliking a person or business is based on the perception that forms on first contact. That perception is reinforced or weakened during each subsequent contact. This perception of a difference process gives the Program its name.
Third, a methodology is required that creates and reinforces these good habits. The long lasting, effectiveness of The Perception Of A Difference Program is expressed in the words of a client:
Everyone in a company is involved in the perception of a difference and selling process and consistency is vital to both. Consistency is best achieved when doing and saying the right things in the right way is part of a person's normal behavior, i.e. habitual.
"You have permanently changed the behavior of my people and me."
The program methodology identifies required steps, the sequence in which they are completed and when they should occur. Each step is a workshop customized to the needs of the individuals in the group in relation to the goals of your company. The customization relates each workshop subject to the perception of a difference you desire to create.
The timing of workshops has a strong role in the process of turning the concept into habitual behavior. The optimum time between workshops is two to three months in the first 12 to 14 months of the program. This interval provides time to practice what is absorbed in the workshop, yet is short enough to maintain continuity.
After several workshops, maintenance of your perception of a difference becomes integral to every conversation, demonstration, presentation, letter, proposal, sales and service call involving your team. Everyone knows how to apply it in any situation.
Everyone in your company is involved in the selling/serving process.

Our Clients Comment
"Now I know why what worked, worked and why what didn't work, didn't."
V.P. Sales, major copier manufacturer
“We have had a wonderful year. Sales in six months since the
Perception Of A Difference Workshop have equaled those oflast year and it was our best year ever. We did it with no changes or additions in people”
(CEO/Owner - Computer systems reseller (VAR) 23 employees - 198 installed sites)
“Yesterday I gave a presentation on our company to the TEC group I have joined. I explained how we have grown with the help of customers sending new prospects to us. I did not, at any time, mention your company though I did repeatedly show how our emphasis on being different in a positive way, permeates everything we do from marketing to customer care. When we broke for coffee one of the members came to me and quietly said, “John, they helped us, too”. I thought you would like to know this since you never reveal, who you have worked with.“
The Perception Of A Difference Program
The Perception Of A Difference Program works within the mind of each participant. It first creates awareness, which is strengthened by personal observation. This is followed by a desire to change, learn more and implement what has been learned. The positioning and timing of content is critical to this process. In essence the participant has an accelerated life experience. S/he makes the changes, assimilates and applies in two years what Wes has absorbed and proven in a lifetime. One business owner participant said:
“You have permanently changed the behavior of my people and me.”
It should be noted that not everyone in a group of PODP participants is so affected. The small percentage, who aren’t quickly become uncomfortable within the group and leave or are forced out. If the unaffected person is a supervisor or department manager, the other participants ignore him/her for a time, after which they leave the organization, almost as a group. The result can be disastrous because any business or corporation is the people who have chosen to be a part of it.
The Perception Of A Difference Program (PODP) was conceived in December 1988 whenit was scattered through and embedded in a collection of presentations Wes Zimmerman had used with clients. Its foundation module, The Perception Of A Difference Workshop™ had strong client support. When the PODP came to life and produced consistent results and few failures in creating sales growth, it was determined that its key success secret was the methodology. The core content was very important but the methodology made the content useful to others. The record proved this to be correct in that all the failures
had included deviations from the methodology.
