Lazy Man?s Way To Get Customers
No matter how big or small your business is and no matter how high or low sales are right now, there is something you need, badly. And that is a selling system. All firms are careful to have elaborate accounting, production and transport systems. And yet there is no system to handle the most important aspect of all ? sales. Nothing moves until a sale is made, remember? Systems makes work easier. A selling system guarantees any business a steady flow of new and repeat customers. The introduction of a selling system has changed fortunes, literally overnight. Sample these brief case studies; A struggling monthly magazine was on the verge of shutting down when they took on a consultant who introduced a simple system to sell advertising space (the main source of revenue for the business magazine.) Within 2 months, the magazine was turning a profit and within one year sales increased by over 500%. In the mid eighties nobody believed it was possible to sell computers in cash-strapped Africa. People not only didn't know how to use them but even if they did where would they find the cash? The result was that computer dealers sold very few computers, mostly to large companies, at obscenely high profit margins. A new company entered the market with a simple selling system that involved packaging a low cost entry-point computer. They sold so well that they revolutionized the entire market forcing margins to come down dramatically. A well-established energy firm specializing in solar was doing very well but wanted to do even better. They reluctantly hired a consultant, more out of curiosity because they did not believe what he was saying about selling systems. The consultant quickly discovered that the real "hot button" for solar consumers was being able to run a Television. He thus created a selling system that linked solar to the most popular soap in the country at the time. Sales increased by over 50% in a single month. This restaurant had good décor and excellent food. But it was located in a good but out-of-the-way street. Too much had already been invested to shift location so they tried out a selling system involving a discount voucher for lunch targeted at office workers. Two days later, the restaurant was so packed that several customers just gave up and went elsewhere. A struggling newspaper could hardly sell its' minimal 1,000 copies print run. A selling system was set up to distribute the publication using flyers. Sales shot up to 120,000 copies within a very short time. The examples are endless. As the world marketplace is continually shrunk by technology and as competition increases, businesses will find it more and more difficult to survive without an effective selling system that clearly lays out a strategy and procedure to attract leads and prospects and to then to turn some of those leads into paying customers.

Use Pain To Get Commitments
Whenever I speak with new salesreps and entrepreneurs, I hear a similar frustration:
Know What You Are Selling As If You Were Buying It
Recently I wanted a new lawn mower as we have an acre of land and we have to keep it mowed pretty regular in the spring and summer and the riding lawn mower from Wally World had fallen apart and had to have something repaired every year for the short four years we limped it through. I called my Dad and asked him what he thought was the best lawnmower for the money as you lay out a hefty amount for almost any riding lawn mower these days with very little guarantee of longevity.
Your Proposal Was Rejected... But Why?
When a request for proposal (RFP) comes in, you get excited! It's a chance to earn income, develop more business contacts, and expand your client base. You work your little heart out in order to be thorough, compelling, and professional. Everything is in place. Your RFP is geared to show why your product or service will meet or exceed the client's goals. With fingers crossed, you submit.
Turn Your Wisdom Into a Workshop
The Technical Revolution has done a lot for us -- we merely have to pick up a phone or send an email to conduct business. Yet, there still is no substitute for live, personal appearances when you want your teaching to count, and that's why I love workshops. Your participants benefit from the short-term intensity of the experience, and you benefit from actually seeing your principles and exercises in play.

As I become more successful with my internet business I have become interested in ways to move my business to the next level.
Dont Let Rattlesnakes Scare You
Recently I was out trail running along the South Fork of the Yuba River. The Yuba River is in a beautiful canyon running east-west through the middle of Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The terrain here is rocky, hilly and rugged, and is covered with a mixture of pine, oak, and manzanita trees.
Before You Sell Do The Math
This is an important and potentially profitable piece of advice. It goes like this - before you ever attempt to sell any products and services - do the math.
Take the Contract with You
I learned something very interesting this week. Thankfully, what I learned was really at no one's expense. What I learned is that when you are on a sales call and you believe there is a possibility (even a remote one) that you may close, always take your contract or letter of agreement with you! This does not apply if your contracts are so complex that it takes a team of attorneys to sort through it. If, however, your contract or letter of agreement is one or two pages long? take it with you.

Caring - The Secret Sales Strategy
Sales information resource Just Sell, calls caring "sales love". Here's the meaning:
Open Your Introduction With A Firecracker Moment
The number one requirement, whether you are a business owner
or an employee, is to be able to say what you do, and say it
with influencing results. Through testing, I have seen,
experienced, and received feedback that an elevator speech
no longer works. My test results show that elevator
speeches are too slow and too boring. People know what's
coming and have mindfully tuned out it out before the first
sentence. Elevator speeches don't stop the listener in
their moment, which is exactly what you need to do. An
introduction that starts with a firecracker impact does stop
them in their moment.
Listen! How to Sell More by Listening More!
In my opinion, one of the biggest skills of being able to sell well is developing your listening skills. Most sales companies and sales people talk about being consultative but they don't really know what consulting is! No-one can consult if they cannot listen first. You cannot sit around a table with your fellow sales people and decide what consulting services you are going to offer to a client - it doesn't work like that. Yes, you need a clear picture of what your services are but consulting services require you to listen to the client.
Seminars for Prospecting
The purpose of a 1- or 2-hour seminar is to attract potential customers for your product or service. The topic must be provocative enough to attract attendees, without sounding too much like a sales pitch with breakfast thrown in. Topics can be about the latest advances and/or technology in your industry; the impact of the latest political, legislative, or economic changes; increasing profits, reducing costs, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and so on.
Building an Action Plan
Going into your workday and waiting for things to happen, and then reacting to them is not a very productive way of doing things. You may as well be going into your workday blind.

Cold calling can be a great way to generate quality leads. You get to speak to the gatekeepers and stakeholders, and you get a great insight into their requirements and influences.

An Introductino to Insurance Lead Generation
It is vital that insurance salespeople have a steady stream of leads. Often, people don't even know about a particular type on insurance and it is up to a salesperson to explain it to them. The salespeople must have good leads in order to know who may be more open to purchasing certain types of insurance.
