Add You - The 7 Deaths of a Salesman
Do you have the qualities to promote products or services through personal referrals? What you need for this is empathy, a reasonably good knowledge of the world wide web. You should know how to surf the net meaningfully and effectively to extract financial benefit from it and the sense to identify the winning products or services for which there is a demand in the virtual world. Remember the world is virtual but there are real people behind it and real money to make here if you are ready to invest money and time for this. You don't need tons of money for this ( you would have to invest around say USD $ 10 to 30 per month ) although the time factor is a demanding one.I am personally won over by a particular business proposition from one of the top 10 internet companies where you have to spend around USD $ 300 per year. It is not possible to get success here without 3/4 hours solid work every day and with the pressures of

I still remember what it feels like. You're all excited about your new product, and you can't wait to pitch it to someone. But no-one will give you the time of day. You make 30 calls to try to get an appointment, or you say "Hi" to dozens of customers as they come through the door, and not a single one of them want to hear what you have to say.Let's take a closer look at 'First Contact.' For some of us it means working the phone, trying to make an appointment to see a decision maker. For others it means engaging a walk-in customer in a showroom or other brick-and-mortar location. Regardless of where your first contact takes place, you have to keep in mind a few very important points:The customer is concerned with only one thing The customer has no idea who you are The customer WILL say "NO" before they say "YES." Scary list. You're thinking, "No wonder it seems impos
Eternal Email
Eternal email can occur several different ways. The most common of these is checking your email every five minutes in eager anticipation of something new. Another way to waste your day with email is by relying on it for long messages or conversations that last longer than a few sentences.
To control your email instead of the other way around, set aside two or three scheduled times a day to check it. Also, never have a conversation over email that could ever be misinterpreted because of the rigidity of writing instead of speaking. Embrace your telephone for communication with your clients, prospects, and colleagues. In the age of information overload, a friendly voice on the other end of the phone can greatly separate you from your competitors who are taking hours of their client’s time with excessive emails.

Be sure to train your employees to provide the utmost care after a customer has made a purchasing decision. After a customer makes a purchase we call their emotions the ‘maximum satisfaction time gap’.During this time, reinforce the benefits of your product or service.This is because psychology tells us these customers are more likely to tell their friends (give referrals) about your products or services right after they make the decisions. Day by day the satisfaction will dwindle.Telling customers before and during their purchase the benefits can only last a few days. During those few days they might not find the time to tell others. Give them a brochure, catalog, or membership benefits packet.It has to be flashy and not simply a white piece of paper with words on it. This could easily become the gum on the bottom of the waste paper basket if you do not put in the additional customer service a

Consultative selling as a way to win against your competition. Many companies today are still trying to push features and benefits of their products on their customers without understanding the deeper needs of those prospects and how they fit with their own company's products or services. Companies that are still pushing feature and benefits, as opposed to pulling information from their clients and consulting with their clients in developing a solution, are those that are typically not able to accelerate their sales and are struggling against competition that uses a more sophisticated sales approach.Consultative selling has been well developed and documented over the years, whether it be strategic selling, need satisfaction selling, as originally pioneered by Xerox, solution selling or more recently, spin selling, all of these essential approaches deal with the basic premise that you start by doing a needs analys

There are 76 million people alive today which were born between 1946-1964, widely considered the baby boom era. They represent the lion's share of today's economy and the American workforce. These people are approaching retirement so the rhetorical question is "how do we market to them?" They have a lot of disposable income, and they aren't afraid to spend their money. Unlike their parents, many of which were depression era babies, they grew up in an era marked by change, turmoil, and even good times. Think Woodstock, tie dies, and widespread marijuana usage. Slavery thankfully came to an end during their pre-prime years. These people aren't going to be shocked by much that comes down the pike--they've pretty much seen it all and participated in much of it too. So how do we marketing "types" curtail our message to identify with the Boomers?For starters, Boomers desire to defy the typical image of retirement. Their
Personal Phone Calls
How many people do you know at your office that take at least a dozen personal phone calls a day? I bet at least one or two people came to your mind almost immediately. Do you know why? Because taking personal phone calls is one of the most distracting and unprofessional things you can do in a corporate environment and is immensely irritating to co-workers. If you’re concerned with productivity, this should be one of your most irritating pet peeves.
If you don’t think that taking personal phone calls at work is such a bad thing, then you may be the very person at the office that everyone is complaining about.
In sales, if you’re having problems with personal phone calls, I recommend putting a little note on the receiver of your phone that says “Can this Wait Until Later?” Most of the time, when you take a personal call at work, it’s because you think it has to happen right now. Ask yourself this question before taking any personal phone calls at the office and you’ll quickly start to take less time each day with distraction.
Unplanned Internet Research
A killer for sales people is surfing the internet for hours at a time and justifying it as prospect research. Should you do research every day on your clients and prospects? Of course you should, but only if it doesn’t interfere w
