Current Issues in Cell Tower Leases and Lease Buyouts
June 4, 2013
1:00 pm ET (12:00 pm CT, 11:00 am MT, 10:00 am PT)
1 hour 30 minutes
This program is also available June 20, 2013.
This live audio conference will help level the playing field by providing private and municipal property owners with the expertise of two faculty members highly experienced in cell tower leases and buyouts. This will help property owners who usually are negotiating such leases or buyouts for the first and only time, while the companies have teams of lawyers who work exclusively on such matters.
We will focus on key business issues in wireless site leases, including lease rates, who gets the revenues from additional antennas or carriers being co-located at a site, major rent increases for renewals and avoiding lease terms which can restrict or prevent an owner’s use or development of its own property – – or trigger a mortgage default. An emphasis will be on the industry specific elements and terms of modern cell site leases, as well as why property owners can achieve very large rent increases on the renewal or extension of existing leases. Comparable issues on lease buyouts will be addressed, as well as why buyouts often are not good deals financially. You will be better able to identify and resolve issues that are unique to wireless leases and buyouts, including what municipalities can include in a lease that cannot be included in a government-issued permit, site location and value, lease term and terminations, access requirements, interference regulation and mitigation, design and camouflage, and radio frequency emissions issues.

Every sales person will go through a sales slump at least once in his or her selling career. However, there are few that know what to do about it, and there are even less mangers that can tell a sales person how to correct the situation.
By definition, a sales slump is when sales are just not happening. Everything that you do, as a sales person seems to lead to the same place…nothing. No matter how you try, the frustration keeps piling. It is more than just rejection, which every sales rep knows about. It is when nothing, but nothing will work. It is time to step back and look at the situation from a different point of view.
Stephan Schiffman has been teaching sales people, for the past 35 years, how to make sales, get out of slumps, and become truly successful. In this live audio conference, he will share the secrets as to why a sales slump happens in the first place and what to do about it. He will give you 25 ways that you as a sales person can be even more successful.

Too much of what salespeople are taught to do and say is centered on how to be a better ‘salesperson.’ But in order to become more effective in the sales profession, we actually have to get past being a sales person. What we really need to do is think more like customers. When we make this subtle but profound change in how we think and behave, we can:
- Find and create sales opportunities where no opportunity existed before.
- Build relationships with clients as opposed to just ‘selling’ to them.
- Better qualify which sales opportunities most deserve our time and attention.
- Sell the value of your products and services and solutions instead of just features and functions.
- Understand and help your customer work through their buying process more quickly.
- Close a higher percentage of the opportunities we choose to invest our time and effort in.
