Selling IP-PBX To Your Customers Seven Secrets To Successfu

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:37 PM [General]

    4) Pay close attention to the timing. Remember, no deadline, no deal. Unless your customer has to meet a specific time line, such as a building out a new office,Cheap Earl Thomas Jersey, relocating a call center,Cheap Donte Whitner Jersey, or launching a distributed call center, they'll have no urgency to act. Use customer deadlines to construct your deal plan, including network provisioning, end-user training time, product backorder, and your service team's availability. 3) Clearly define the value of your solution. The more accurately that you can show on-going cost savings, the more compelling your story. You can increase the potency of your offering when you demonstrate that your solution will bring competitive advantage to your customer,Cheap Jeremy Maclin Jersey, for example, faster response to customer calls, auto call routing based on caller profiles, and so forth. No doubt about it, IP-PBX is a hot market. Yet it seems that you've harvested all of the low-hanging fruit. Now what? 1) Illustrate that you're a viable vendor because IP-PBX is a long-term purchase. Your customers want to know that you--and the technology that you're selling--will be around for a long time. Prove this with the history of your company and the market share or market growth of your technology vendor. 5) Map out their decision-making process. Ask your customer, "How do you go about making a decision like this? Who is involved and what's their role?" Knowing this can help you navigate tumultuous times because while the person filling a specific role may change, the role probably won't. You can then guide the deal through their process. 6) Understand where the budgets come from. Today, funding can come from places other than the facilities budget. It might come from sales or marketing or other departments. Help fatten budgets by looking at trade-in and trade-up options. Calculate the cost of not moving forward. One sure way to accelerate a deal is to show that keeping alive a current PBX costs more than buying and operating a new IP-PBX because every month of delay means the customer is writing unnecessary checks. 7) Arrange financing for your deal. Cash flow is more important than the final cost for many customers. When you arrange for favorable financing that improves their overall cash flow scenario, you'll have the support of the CFO and speed the deal to close. 2) Prove that your solution is effective for your customer's needs, today and in the future. With the rapid growth of unified communications, customers are rethinking their telephony needs. When you can show that you've got them covered, they'll feel confident with your offering. Pay close attention to these seven secrets of a successful IP-PBX sale that go beyond features and benefits. If you ignore any one of them, it will take much longer to close the deal and you'll risk competitive interception.

    Growing Sales by Using a Third Party For Your Customer Finan

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:37 PM [General]

    No in house credit and leasing and documentation expertise Leasing and equipment financing is a highly specialized area - it also requires significant accounting skills with respect to the types of leasing that is offered. Firms considering such a program should ensure that they have the ability to offer lease to own leases (capital leases) operating leases (customers use but don't own the equipment) and also short term rentals if that is applicable to their product or service. Companies who wish to start a customer finance program should explore the resources of an experienced third party. This,Cheap Kevin Kolb Jersey, as stated previously ensure the program will have the technical, credit and financial backing that such a program provides. There are a number of different third party 'types 'that a company can partner with. These include leasing intermediaries, banks, and other independent lease firms. A leasing intermediary,Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys, experienced in the industry, is quite often a great choice as they have significant expertise in a variety of industries, they have access to unlimited funding through their funding sources, and they are not constrained by deal size or credit quality of any one individual deal. They also can assist the customer in making sales calls to complete sales and financing scenarios. Many firms wish to offer a customer finance program but do not have the necessary skills and capital to offer such a service. A properly run customer finance program can increase sales, improve cash flow by 100%, eliminate customer objections,Cheap Jonathan Stewart Jersey, and also allow your customers to work within their budget and approval cycles. Those reasons are clearly powerful for any firm considering a customer financing strategy. They feel they are not large enough to consider such a program. Lack of funds for a large program Some firms that consider customer finance and leasing programs do not wish under any circumstances to take back product at the end of the lease. They want to sell more new product!! That reason alone drives many firms to utilize the services of an experienced third party. Most customers know that some of the world's largest corporations such as IBM, GM, CATERPILLER, etc offer very robust customer finance programs for their customer base. They offer such a program to ensure that they can reach maximum customer penetration within their markets - they don't want to lose a sale just because the customer was unable to finance a product or service. Desire not to take credit risk inherent with long term financing The major reasons that customers look at using a third party can be summarized as follows: Such a customer finance program requires a significant amount of capital - as such it makes sense to utilize the resources of a third party with unlimited ( or close to unlimited!) capital. Some companies might find that their borrowing power to support such a program does not allow them to offer competitive rates, terms, and structures. A customer finance program, offering lease financing to your customers is a powerful sales and marketing tool, and within the reach of all firms who wish to increase revenue and profits by offering financing in their sales ' toolkits'.

    A Salesperson's Guide to the Emotive Buyer

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:36 PM [General]

    3. They need logical justification for what they have emotively decided upon. Give them lots of practical, logical reasons why this is a good choice. Often, this will need to be in a format that they can show to someone else because there is an external hidden ratifier (someone unseen who has to approve of the purchase - and they are generally a totally different buyer type. Remember (particularly with high-end products) that while they need the emotive context, they also need the cold, hard figures and reference to return on investment, etc - either for themselves or someone else. Emotive buyers can be easy targets - impulse buying is all targeted to them - and they often have highly developed protective mechanisms; but once you identify their hot buttons, the sale generally progresses smoothly. How to sell to emotive buyers 1. It is ego-gratifying: the 'show-off' factor - "If I have one of these, everyone will be envious". 2. It fits with their vision of the future - "I said we'd do this digitally one day." It may satisfy a long-held aspiration - "I always believed I'd end up with one of these eventually." 3. It allows them to be seen as change agents (creating their legacy) - "This will look so good...everyone will be impressed. And it took me to achieve it!" The emotive buyer sees it and wants it! Then, they spend the rest of the time trying to find logical reasons to justify their purchase. The actual reason for wanting it in the first place will be as wide-ranging as: 4. Identify what their vision of the future with this product will look like and paint that picture for them. Come back to it as a trigger for the buying decision. Words to use While emotive buyers are often early-adopters of new technology and trends (the see it/want it syndrome); they can also be the opposite, resisting logical change because of a sentimental attachment to the past. "Just imagine, innovative, be the first, positive, good choice, feel confident, feel proud, easy,Cheap Cincinatti Bengals Jerseys, big picture,Cheap Green Bay Packers Jerseys, future,Cheap Brady Quinn Jersey, change" 1. Try to identify what their real motive is. Generally, this will not be something that you can ask them directly - because the truthful answer (ego-gratification) might be embarrassing. If it is, though, it allows you to subtly focus on aspects that will feed that ego. You will often get the rationalising arguments that they are using with others in their decision-making circle or with themselves. That's fine, you know the real reason; and you're able to feed that rationalisation so they can convince whomever they need to. 2. Compliment their decision. Do everything you can to validate and reinforce the emotions that triggered their desire for the product. Use emotive language - expressing your feelings about the product, your business relationship, your organisation, etc. The author introduces: 24H JERSEYS is a privately owned sports goods company with a history of nearly 4 years.We have the professional factory behind us manufacturing all sports jerseys.Click here Read More

    How to Effectively Generate Sales For Your GSA Catalog

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:36 PM [General]

    To keep on top of your competition, it is always a good idea to monitor pricing. If you're pricing is much lower than your competitions, consider doing an EPA. If you want to do a push for sales, consider doing a temporary price reduction. Now let's talk about your catalog. It is important that even if you just have products that you also upload a text file for your Terms and Conditions. The Terms and Conditions file is also known as your FSS which should have been generated after your award. The FSS contains roughly 26 points of information containing such items as: Minimum order, Points of Production, Warranty, etc. This Terms and Conditions file should be very eye appealing as this can be used as your marketing material to advertise your GSA Contract. It should be uploaded along with your products so potential buyers can get a glimpse of your awarded terms. If you only offer services, these are captured in this very same text file and uploaded as your catalog. Also, it is a very good idea to post pictures for your products. This gives the buyer a better snapshot of your product, remember a picture can be worth a million words or maybe in this case, a million dollars! You have 6 months from date of award to have your catalog posted on GSA Advantage! You have gone through the painstaking process of getting a GSA Contract, why wouldn't you now post your catalog and start getting some sales,Cheap Chad Ochocinco Jersey! Product files are very tricky as this is where you are building the very information that your buyers will be searching for. A good strong description is very important. You have the option for a total of 1,000 characters for a description, utilize as many as possible. You also have the option to add keywords,Cheap Brandon Banks Jersey, again, utilize this to your advantage. Buyers who are looking to purchase your product are going to search GSA Advantage! just like you or I would use Google. For example, if we wanted to purchase a light, we probably wouldn't just use the search term light, we may narrow it down to specifically what we want such as 'hand held fluorescent light'. Thinking along these lines, this is exactly how you want to set up your search words for your products. Take some time and do some searching in GSA Advantage!, use some specific keywords and see how your products fair. If you have alot of competition for your products, and you are not ranking as high, you may want to consider revamping your catalog to get the best possible placement. So you have a GSA Contract and you have your catalog of products and/or services uploaded to GSA Advantage!, hopefully. Just the presence of your catalog on GSA Advantage! though may not be enough to drive the government buyers to your site to purchase your products and/or services. The more information you have listed, the better the buyers will be able to you. First and foremost,Cheap Ricky Williams Jersey, you must make sure that your contact information is up-to-date. In my marketing efforts, I have come across many companies who have been awarded a new schedule within a few months and the email address is not correctly listed. If I cannot make the contact, then how will any buyers make contact if they are possibly sourcing you out as a potential supplier on a contract. How will they be able to place orders if the email address is not correct. Always proof your company information to make sure everything is correct. The initial company information is entered by your contracting officer upon award of your contract and yes, errors can be made!

    So You Have Something to Sell - So What

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:36 PM [General]

    Here are some tips to make sure you are ready to answer the "so what" question in your market: I got my aha on this when several people recently decided not to join our CEO Club because of the cost. Let's face it, business coaching is expensive. But I know the actual cost is not really the issue here. In every case the business owners who decided not to buy or continue in the program had enough money. It was not the money itself,Cheap Ron Jaworski Jersey, it was their understanding of the difference it makes. 3. Define your product or service values in terms that will match the needs of your target market specifically. If your market is the low price buyer, then define low price in terms that will matter to them. In almost every case there will be other low price services or products available. To make the difference, you need to be able tell your market what difference your low price makes. Of course, if the difference you make is not about price, then you need to be able to state that difference just as clearly. These simple starter ideas will open the door to a deeper and broader awareness of what your market needs and wants. The better job you do answering those questions, the stronger your prospects for growth will be. Along the way,Cheap Terrell Davis Jersey, I discovered that this same question was critically important for business owners. With very few exceptions, buyers have choices. They can choose to buy from you, or from somebody else. Their buying decision is made up of all sorts of considerations, but underneath all of the product or service evaluations, underneath the questions about quality,Cheap Warren Sapp Jersey, price, durability, and availability is this core value. What difference will it make if I buy it, and what difference will it make if I buy it from you? Now, back to your business. What is true for my business is true for yours. People have choices. Especially during times of economic stress like we face today, people are careful to look for the greatest value. Often business owners default to the idea that greatest value is defined by lowest price. In some cases this is true, but even that default value has hidden within it this truth - the real question is what difference does it make. Your task, as the seller, is to know what difference you can make for the buyer and then make sure that you communicate that difference well. I started asking this question when I was teaching as a university professor. Many of my students were planning to go on to be teachers themselves, and I wanted to challenge them to think beyond the curriculum. I wanted to help them figure out how to make the classroom relevant and important to their students. You might be surprised at how many of them had never even considered the question. So, what difference to you make? Ask that question of yourself and then ask it of four people you trust to be brutally honest with you. The value of your business is in the difference you make for customers. Learn to communicate that and your business will grow. It is just that simple. Here's the reality, no matter what you spend on a business coach, it is money that you don't have available to spend on other things or to put into your own pocket. As a business owner, that makes coaching expensive. So then why do it? Why pay a coach for his or her services? The only reason to spend the money is because you understand that hiring the business coach will make a difference for you that is worth the cost. During the past year I have had several opportunities ponder this issue but it has really come home to me in the past two months. I thought I had answered this question in my own business years ago. In discussions with several clients and with prospects I am reminded that answering it once does not answer it forever. The difference you make must be restated as the conditions around you change. In other words, So what has to be answered in terms of today and tomorrow, not yesterday. 2. Define customer expectations in terms that the customer and your team can easily understand. If you tell your customers to expect the "best customer service in your industry," then make sure you know what that means and how you will demonstrate it to them. Remember that the demonstration must be something that will be understood on their terms, not yours. 1. Create, promote, and enforce a company culture that holds every member of your team accountable to the same standards. Don't fall into the trap of believing that if you tell them or even show them it will be enough. Culture, especially the core values that drive it, needs to be clearly defined in writing and aggressively defended at every turn. So, write your culture out in clear terms. Engage your team in both the creation of the terms and the means for measuring and enforcing the culture. So What? That is the question I have been asking my clients and my students for the past 15 years. So what? So you make a very cool widget? So what? How does that widget make a difference in the life of the person who buys it? So you offer the most amazing service? So what? What difference do you make for the businesses you serve? I want to know, how does what you do or what you sell make a difference for the people or the business who buy from you? I heard a great commercial just the other day that brings this home. The ad was for Mercedes-Benz. At the center of the ad was this idea, "we sell quality cars, but not the only quality cars." To convince people looking for that quality that they should consider a Mercedes, the ad emphasizes the difference they will make through relationship, service and quality. In the end, those things will matter more than the price to their buyers.

    The Main Skills to Develop If You Are in Sales

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:35 PM [General]

    Asking Qualifying Questions and Identifying Needs: Once you have identified your prospects,Cheap Julius Peppers Jersey, then you must be able to qualify them before you can convert them into customers. You must identify their specific needs and desires, or problems that your product or service will address. The only way that you will discover this is by asking the right qualifying questions. Great sales people know how to use open-ended questions to discover needs, and how to use closed-end questions to confirm them. Customers buy products and services to address their own needs and desires. Great sales people know how to help them by discovering needs through the art of skillful questioning. As with any job, there is always a lot to learn about your company,Cheap Seahawks Jerseys, its products, the industry,Cheap Bart Starr Jersey, and your competition. It takes time to build quality relationships with people both inside and outside of your company. Whenever you start a new job, it can be overwhelming and confusing, so you need to focus on what is really important to your success. If you are in sales, make sure that you step back from all the activity and focus on these core skills that every sales person needs to know to be successful. These five skills will make the biggest impact on your success. Prospecting: This is the primary skill needed to fill up your sales pipeline. You must be able to canvass likely customers or suspects, and turn them into prospects. Prospects are people who have the need for your product or service, and also have the ability to buy. If you can consistently maintain a large pool of prospects, then you will significantly improve your chances for sales success. Time Management: Time management is a critical skill for everyone and especially sales people. Everyone only gets the same twenty-four hours in a day, and those who are effective in their jobs understand how to make the most of their time. Great sales people focus on the critical tasks: prospecting, interviewing customers, making presentations and closing sales. They maximize their own performance when they are spending quality time with prospects and customers, and they manage their time accordingly. While they also complete reports and attend meetings with their boss, they use their workday to focus on the people who are likely to buy rather than the less productive administrative tasks. Feature-Benefit Presentations: People buy products and services because the benefits provide a solution to their needs and desires. Great sales people don't just describe the features of their products or services. They always associate the corresponding benefit with the feature so that the prospect will understand how it will help them. Feature-benefit dialogue is second nature to seasoned sales professionals. Closing: All good sales people know how to close the sale. This doesn't mean that they use manipulation or high-pressure techniques; however, they know how to summarize the prospect's needs and demonstrate how the features and benefits of their product or service can address them. Good closing techniques help prospects decide to buy by helping them clearly understand the information. Closing helps the prospect see how your product or service is the best solution available to their problems. Educating prospects is how good sales people close the sale and convert them into paying customers. Effective sales people are good because they have mastered the critical core skills for their job. Like other professionals, they also are required to perform administrative tasks and to treat people with respect and courtesy. However, just because a doctor may have a good beside manner, he will not be effective if he doesn't also exhibit the technical skills of a well-trained physician. In the same way, a cheerful sales person will not be effective if he or she has not mastered core selling skills. If you are in sales, here are some basic skills that you must be able to perform at a high level: The author introduces: 24H JERSEYS is a privately owned sports goods company with a history of nearly 4 years.We have the professional factory behind us manufacturing all sports jerseys.Click here Read More

    How to Increase Your Sales By Asking

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:35 PM [General]

    1. Ask for help. First and foremost, if you need help it is essential that you ask. Ask the top sales person in your company for ideas, advice and feedback. Ask your boss for coaching or direction. Ask people in your network for insights and suggestions to improve your results. 12. Ask who else may be involved in the decision. You can easily phrase this by asking, "Who else will you need to discuss this with?" When they tell you, ask, "Can we set up a day/time to collectively talk about this?" 4. Ask for clarification. When someone says something that is vague or unspecific, seek clarification. Ask, "Can you elaborate on that?" or "Tell me more" or "What do you mean by that?" Developing the confidence and ability to ask for the things you need is an essential sales skill. Here are twelve situations that sales (and business) people need to summon up the courage to ask. 11. Ask what concerns they have. Most sales people I have worked with hesitate to ask this because they don't want to know if their prospect has any concerns. However, my perspective is that you need to know this upfront so an unexpected objection doesn't derail your efforts. 8. Ask for a referral. Whether you get the deal or not, you should ask you contact if they would be willing to refer you to someone in their network. It helps when you can clearly describe your ideal client. 2. Ask for the appointment. Too many people beat around the bush and don't ask a new prospect for an appointment. This strategy can result in more meetings which will lead to more sales. Try asking, "Does it make sense for us to meet?" 5. Ask for commitment. When a prospect or customer says, "Call me next week" pursue that statement by asking, "What day should I call?" If they say, "Anytime is fine" ask,Cheap Philip Rivers Jersey, "Does next Tuesday work?" Then ask what time is the best to connect with them. If they respond with,Cheap Aaron Maybin Jersey, "Anytime is good" ask, "Is mid-morning at 10:15 a good time?" 10. Ask why a prospect does not want to do business with you. If someone does not choose you as their vendor ask, "I'm always looking to improve. May I ask what influenced your decision?" 6. Ask them to schedule the call in their calendar. Once they agree to a specific day and time, ask them to place that call in their calendar and follow up by sending them an Outlook (or other time management system) appointment. 3. Ask more high-value questions. After 15 years of training sales people, I have found that the majority simply don't ask enough high-value questions. High-value questions force your prospect or customer to think and will give you insight to their current situation, problems and desired outcomes. It sounds simple but more people feel uncomfortable asking these types of questions because they think they are too probing and they feel that their prospect will be offended. Too many sales people don't ask for the things they need or that could help them increase their sales and grow their business. 9. Ask for a testimonial. When you have completed your work with that client, ask them for a testimonial. Video testimonials work best followed by an audio recording. At the very least,Cheap Owen Spencer Jersey, get a written endorsement of your work. © MMXI Kelley Robertson, All rights reserved. Summon up the courage and start asking. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 7. Ask for the sale. Many deals have been lost because the sale person did not want to ask for the sale so after every sales presentation, sales call, or meeting, make sure you ask for the sale. It's as simple as asking, "May I have your business?"

    Key Relationships For Business Development

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:35 PM [General]

    o Build a great product or service ,Cheap Arthur Moats Jersey o Over deliver every time o Be on time o Be fair with your price o Don't cheat o Make sure the quality is the best for the price o Stay in touch o Be courteous,Marcus Allen chiefs Jersey, kind, inviting, generous, caring o Deliver what you say you will deliver o Be interested in the prospect or buyer o Do your business with integrity and enthusiasm Here are the tried and true ways to build a relationship with the prospect and eventual buyer: There are lots of ways to develop business practices that help us sell and promote our services and products. We need to clearly communicate information about the product. We have to catch the ear or eye of the buyer so they can make a decision. There needs to be some kind of value or people won't buy. But the most important aspect of selling anything is the relationship you create with the buyer. It is all about the relationship with the person who wants or needs your product. When I forget that simple fact, my sales plummet. It does seem pretty straightforward and obvious; however, you would not believe the stories that people have about NOT experiencing this kind of satisfaction every day. I think most of what we consider issues in business could be solved in a big way by people doing what they say they will do. Just that would eliminate a large part of our stress. My challenge to you: Revisit how you are dealing with people and how you are appearing to deal with people. Be consistent, caring,Cheap Mike Quick Jersey, fair and on time. You will create long term, trusting relationships and repeat business. Go ahead; look at your practices. See where you might want to improve offering good service and/or products. Revisit your practices as if your reputation depended on it...because it does.

    Acquiring Sales Leads for the Software Industry

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 6:35 PM [General]

Let us take a look at some of those benefits.,Cheap Tony Dorsett Jersey Since the software industry is very large and quite popular these days, acquiring leads for the software business sector may seem to be quite the easy task. This may seem like a possibility when in fact approaching these leads may become quite difficult. Challenges are often faced when trying to contact or even approach these software leads. For one thing,Cheap George Blanda Jersey, these software leads are certain individuals that have either middle or high levels of status within the software organization. Such status includes the position of being the head IT director of an organization or even the chief executive officer for the entire company.

Another challenge that sales representatives face for when trying to contact software leads is that they should acquire a sufficient amount of knowledge and understanding, not only about their own products and services but also of their prospect's as well. If in case the sales representative would not have the required amount of knowledge for their prospect's organization then their credibility will be put into question. Therefore it is very important for these agents to do intensive research about their leads before even starting to contact them. This is also one of the reasons as to why qualifying leads for the software industry takes a longer amount of time than most lead generation campaigns in other business sectors. Challenges are often seen and felt by these representatives when searching and qualifying for software leads. If by any chance that the software company would find that these challenges are making it harder to achieve business growth, then they can always outsource their campaign for generating and qualifying leads to telemarketers. There is no right or wrong time for software companies to outsource their services for generating and qualifying leads. However,Cheap Arthur Moats Jersey, if they want to maintain their competitive edge over other software manufacturers and organizations then the earlier they are able to outsource the service the better.

    DISC Styles - Selling to the I Style

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:56 PM [General]

    When presenting to the "I" style do not give a lot of details, they do not want to hear them. They will want to socialize so allow time for this. Taking them to lunch or meeting for coffee and work quite well with and Influence style. The "I" style will often buy easily in that they are so open to trying something new. But, beware, they will just as easily be sold by one of your competitors. If you make a sale to an Influence you need to give plenty of follow up service to keep them as a client. In order to effectively sell to an Influence style,Cheap New York Giants Jerseys, or "I" style,LaDainian Tomlinson charger Jersey, you must be aware of their general characteristics. Influence styles are eager to try out new and innovative products. They will be glad to see you and will enjoy trading jokes and stories with you. As a matter of fact the Influence style will prefer this over discussing business. They will be friendly and would rather socialize than do detail work. With an Influence make sure to eliminate a lot of the details and focus on just the high points. That is all they want to hear,Cheap Champ Bailey Jersey, plus if you do not prepare this way you may not get to the high points because of all the conversation that will take place. Always show them new products if you have them, and be sure to socialize. If you do not socialize the "I" style will not feel comfortable. Lastly, if you do make the sale, allow for plenty of follow up.

    How to Close More Training Clients

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:55 PM [General]

    So then what do you say?,Cheap K.Williams Jersey Do you hate selling? Good. You don't have to do it anymore. And most importantly ... 2. If you quote your price too early, before the client knows what you have to offer, you will always kill the sale. That's it - doesn't sound too complicated does it? But don't be fooled because it accomplishes a few very important things. It gets your customer talking about their favorite subject - themselves. They start telling you what's wrong with them and why they're not happy. If you follow up with some well placed questions like "how long have you had that problem", or "what are you doing now to fix it",Cheap Trent Edwards Jersey, you're creating an even greater satisfaction gap and setting the stage for the sale to close automatically. The best part is you'll get almost no resistance at the end of the sale - they did the entire job of telling you what they're doing now is wrong, and where they want to be in the future. And through listening to all of this, you've built trust. Building that satisfaction gap and trust is all you need. That's right - do not answer them. When it comes to interacting with new potential clients, you should forget the selling part. Instead, seek to understand this new person in front of you,Cheap John Abraham Jersey, and build a relationship. Selling Personal Training is completely different from the wam-bam sales techniques in other fields. You're selling a personal product, so it must be sold in a very personal way. 1. The one asking the questions has control in the sale (you want to make sure that's you). You ask a question yourself, and it's a special one - it's the first thing that should come out of your mouth every time you start talking to a prospective client. It sets you on the road to closing nearly every new high-value client that comes your way. It's what I call it the $100,000 dollar question, and it's this: There are two rules of selling to always remember: "What are you looking to accomplish?" Unfortunately, this is where a lot of trainers screw it up. They try too hard to get the clients money, and forget the most important part - the relationship. Even if the client wants to make "money" the primary factor by asking you the price up-front, don't answer them.

    Marketing Magic - How to Make a Sale in 20 Seconds

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:55 PM [General]

    When I was just learning the ropes in the public relations industry, I had an exceptionally shrewd boss who advised me, "You are continually auditioning for someone." He meant you ought to come across as someone worth watching, since you never can be certain who you'll meet who might turn out to be of great consequence to you... somebody who might employ you, or do business with you. Think about another situation. You both get on. She says, "What is your business?" You understand you barely have about 20 seconds to tell her,Byron Leftwich buccaneers Jersey, but you're all set. You say, "I'm Lorraine Barnett, and I'm an accountant who specializes in installing bookkeeping systems for organizations with intricate tax situations. I show my clients how precise records guard against the possibility of audits." You may well say, "I have an accounting practice." This is an entirely boring reply that interests her not at all. As soon as the elevator arrives at her floor 20 seconds afterward,Cheap Champ Bailey Jersey, she says, "Have a good day," and she departs. A promising opportunity is kaput. Your elevator pitch will be your most effective new business tool. Make certain you are ready with a good one. You actually made that sale in the opening 20 seconds. You were ready to seize somebody's interest - make them ask to learn more. In a few days you receive a message from a person in her firm. They invite you to come and have a discussion with them. You come away with a new piece of business. The point is, you should be ready. How? Be ready to give your elevator pitch. For instance, you're an accountant with your own company. You board an elevator one day, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with a woman standing next to you, she says to you, "And what do you do?" It has happened to me countless times, unplanned meetings that turned into accounts for my new firm. It's often called an elevator pitch, although it's not only for elevators. It's for business meetings, phone conversations, voice messaging,Cheap Joey Porter Jersey, any situation and any point in time you have the opening to introduce yourself. At this moment you have her attention. "May I have your business card?" she says. You give her one.

    Growing Your Business From the Inside

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:55 PM [General]

    A strong business development strategy requires that your organization is connected into your key clients at multiple levels with multiple relationships sources, i.e. your CEO/Owner, VP of Sales, VP of Marketing, or Director of Customer Service, etc. having developed and leveraged relationships in your key accounts at similar valued levels. Multiple relationships, at various organizational and functional levels, through varied contact points provides offers your organizational broader information, influence and insight. This is a very powerful strategic tool. There are four steps to applying a business development strategy in your existing and key accounts: 1. Build a team and expand your contact base: Sales professionals are very proficient at knowing who their key contact is in an account. Their traditional approach is to strengthen that single point of contact relationship to the fullest. In a revenue expansion strategy that is not enough. Instead of having a lot of connections over several companies, an effective business development strategy requires multiple connections throughout the organization at multiple contact points. A single point of contact or a single contact point from your organization puts all relationships at risk. The definition of business success is growth. Increasing revenue drives most sales organizations. However, there are two aspects the growth formula that are often underlooked; or, at least, underemphasized - client retention and business development in existing accounts. Businesses that grow best, grow intentionally. Intention is the focused, disciplined, and strategic application of a business development process that works. The above business development process works best in your key accounts because you already have a valued relationship with them, you already have access to their team, and they already value what you are providing them. To take this relationship to another level requires the commitment of a team, the productive gathering and sharing of information,Cheap Nick Collins Jersey, and the ability to nimbly and deftly execute a timely growth strategy. Nothing is more productive that growing within an existing account - the trick is coordinating the resources in order to accomplish it. The most efficient channel for increases or improvements to profitable revenues is maintaining the business relationships you have and leveraging those relationships to offer and deliver more. Your best customers are your most efficient channel for new business opportunities. Yet, many organizations struggle to create and discover these opportunities. For the most part it is because they have become so proficient at being satisfied with the existing relationship that they fail to understand or recognize how to expand and build on it. The first place I would look for revenue expansion is with my best, favorite and most trusted clients. Note, I would not be walking in simply trying to "sell them more", I would be working at discovering how I can become a better resource to them and what else I may be able to provide to improve or enhance their business. Accomplishing this requires a focused strategic commitment to enhancing the relationship. 3. Create a metric and meeting rhythm for the team: Being on a key account team means nothing if people do not know their roles or accountabilities. Every team member has accountabilities to the rest of the team for their role in building and expanding their relationship base in a key account. They are also accountable for gathering and sharing information to the team in a timely manner through the "knowledge holder." As a result, I would encourage everyone to establish a metric for "new relationships" and "impactful conversations" that is a measurable accountability tool. Also, even if it is only a fifteen minute weekly huddle, all key account teams must connect, communicate, collaborate and strategize on a regular basis. 4. Pay attention to discover and create opportunity: You cannot create opportunity in an existing account just because it is a good idea - nobody cares what you want to accomplish or "sell". However,Cheap Ryan Mathews Jersey, as you expand your relationship base within an account and become a more influential valued resource, the potential for the team to discover and create new business opportunities is enhanced significantly. This is the value of a multi-faceted "deep and wide" business development strategy. More conversations, with more people, with diverse perspectives, opinions and needs provides a fantastic opportunity to add value. The fundamental component of this strategy is found in creating a focused, disciplined,Cheap Tony Romo Jersey, and intelligent process with a long-term commitment to its execution and development. 2. Assign a knowledge holder for your key accounts: You can utilize a CRM to manage data and information; however, like a reporter, every key account requires a knowledge holder. That knowledge holder is responsible for sharing the news of every single conversation with all others leveraging and developing relationships in that key account. Sharing the information in a timely manner enables the team to make prompt strategic moves in that account and enables the team to be more engaged and proactive to news, information, and opportunity.

    The Art of Prospecting Via Cold-Emails

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:55 PM [General]

    Writing a Catchy Subject Line The scenario is completely different with email. The decision maker, whether or not the email gets junked, will have to glance at the subject line. However, whether the target prospect actually opens the particular email is contingent on a few factors. Below, I've gathered some tips as to how to increase your odds of getting through to prospects via cold-emailing. Getting the decision makers email Monthly emails The majority of the time,Cheap Byron Leftwich Jersey, higher-ups in the organization will not read the body of your email. Personally, my preference, is something like - "If your company is looking for U.S. based Exchange Hosting..." To get a grasp on the best way to word the subject of your email, look at different sales representatives who prospect you via email. So you're able to perfect this prospecting art, take a combination of the subjects that you find catchy and use them to your advantage. Additionally, make sure to take into account the sales emails which you receive on a daily basis that you immediately ignore their respective message. Doing Research on the Company Getting the decision makers email address (for small to mid-size companies) is quite easy. Though, I suggest that you not go after the CEO of a large business because they typically will have internal email addresses which are not given out to the public nor are they predictable. The first step is to go online and find out the names of some of the high level executives. Getting these is nearly 75% of the battle. Due to the fact most companies have a single format for all email addresses such as first.lastname @ companyxyz.com Most of the time,Cheap Paul Hornung Jersey, you can call the secretary, get her or his email and now you're able to get in touch with whomever you desire. Large companies will typically have a separate inbox which is hard to get your hands on, though this is not the story most of the time. If you are in sales and are attempting to prospect via the phone,Cheap Brett Keisel Jersey, you are doomed to a lifetime of assistants cutting you off at the knees, or an empty voicemail machine which may or may not be the real VM of the decision maker. Even if you do get a direct voicemail (one that the C-level executive does listen to) as soon as he knows you are selling a product he will most likely delete the voicemail immediately and completely forget about you. Before prospecting a particular company, make sure you do some research on what the firm does and what responsibilities each person in the firm likely has. You do not want to send a prospecting email to a CFO if you are selling human resource software. Additionally, if you don't know what the company whom your emailing does, that is going to come through in your message and could ruin a great opportunity. Remember, it is going to take time to have these emails work. However, if you stick at it (around once a month) and use a CRM system to your advantage, breaking into these companies is a whole lot easier. Though, make sure not to be annoying. Too many prospecting emails will have the opposite effect.

    Openings For New Business - For You

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:54 PM [General]

    Once you establish a reputation for getting all the business in sight, customers will buy from you in preference to a weaker salesman. The man who gets the business gets the general respect of the trade. The salesman who lays down on the job seldom stays around long enough to get the respect of a customer, let alone his business. If you are built of the right kind of material, as soon as you hear of customers and products in your line,Reggie White eagles Jersey, you will say to yourself: "That's mine!" Then you will start after it with full confidence that you are going to give your competitors a run for their money, even if you do not land all the orders. What you want to do is make competing salesmen get "cold feet" when you start out after business. Get a reputation for getting business. Customers will then naturally take your views and will buy your goods. If you can "get under the skin" of competing salesmen by taking business away from them because you are on the job earlier and stay later, you are sooner or later going to make them afraid of your competition. You want to get them afraid of your brains. You want them to be convinced that they have no chance when you are on the job. You will get the competitor salesman's business if you are more tenacious than he, if you are more diplomatic than he, if you understand your proposition better than he does his. To do this you will need every tool you can get your hands on to give you the edge. One invaluable tool is The Psychology Of Advertising. Knowing what works and what doesn't and WHY will give you an unfair advantage over your competition. Win on merit. Get the other salesman afraid of you, and you have him half beaten. He cannot win against you if he fears your competition. And,Cheap St. Louis Rams Jerseys, here is an extra idea for you to consider: Do not under any circumstances fear a competitor. If you cannot get his customers right away, put your "thinking apparatus" to work on the subject, and sooner or later you will get the "inspiration" from "perspiration." Get in the habit of thinking that all business is rightly yours; but, in order to get it, you will prove that you, as a stronger salesman,Cheap Brandon Marshall Jersey, as a more sincere salesman, as a more enthusiastic salesman, are entitled to it.

    How to Improve Sales Top Sales Strategy Tips From a Busines

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:54 PM [General]

    Serious Buying Decisions Demand Deep Consideration,Cheap Brian Westbrook Jersey The market too often expects suppliers to jump at any opportunity to bid. Many suppliers conform without really considering how well positioned they are to win or the business viability if they did. Suppliers that professionally hold their ground can gain significant credibility with prospective customers. Sales Coach Tip #4 Many salespeople and often the companies they work for are slaves of comfort zone selling. They go through the same old "hit and hope" sales routine, hoping for the best but winning too little profitable business. This is the best place to start looking when considering ways to improve sales performance. Eliminate Comfort Zone Selling to Improve Sales Performance Imagine your career relied on selecting the right supplier of a business critical service. How much would you be influenced by a likable salesperson and how much by their ability to correctly set and meet your expectations? Suppliers failing to grasp this will find it hard to improve sales performance. If you sell value-add or business critical solutions or services B2B, these top sales strategy tips could be the catalyst to help improve sales performance. Find out how a coach that constructively challenges your strategy and approach could be a key factor for success. Why Let Purchasing Departments Determine Your Sales Strategy? Small companies often have an inferiority complex, however with the right B2B sales strategy, a specialist niche player can often beat larger well known bidders. The key is to determine early on whether a prospect is prepared to break from the herd to go with a lesser known company with a better offering. Too many salespeople just look for a solution match. Ticking the boxes against a specification, RFP or ITT is only one aspect to consider. Any good sales coach will ensure that the primary focus is on access to the key influencers and decision makers - the people who can make things happen. Sales Coach Tip #3 If you can convince a genuine prospect they are in safe hands with your company, that you clearly understand their requirements and will deliver to the expectations that you set, then why would they not select you? Ironically,Cheap 49ers Jerseys, many salespeople only scrape the surface of sales opportunities and thus fail. Few companies stop to calculate the cost of each failed sales attempt, whether a formal tender or a less formal proposal. Consider the total hours lost in meetings and response preparation for a bid that fails. A skilled sales coach will ensure valuable time is spent wisely and only on winnable opportunities. Sales Coach Tip #1 And Finally, Back to Sales Coach Tip #1 A prospective customer requests a presentation, proposal, demonstration or trial and most salespeople are keen to oblige. That's a lot of commitment from a supplier. Effective salespeople qualify well and work to ensure they gain enough commitment in return, before they agree to dedicate time and effort. We often hear that "people buy from people they like." This is just too simplistic when it comes to value-add or business critical solutions or services. In such situations people will buy from people they hold credible to deliver to expectations. Anything else would put their careers seriously at risk. Before you weigh up the merits of using an external coach, think just how much you might be losing by pandering to false price pressures. A good sales coach is a catalyst for the behaviour changes needed to improve margin rich sales performance and any investment here should produce healthy returns. If you lack confidence it's often tempting to slip into pitching mode rather than really engage your prospective customer. You may feel on safe ground talking about the features and benefits of a solution you know like the back of your hand. Your prospective customer may well be more bored than engaged. Business critical purchases tend to be far less price sensitive than prospective customers would ever like to admit. The risk of a poor buying decision is too high for false economies. Yet supplier nerves often trigger unnecessary discount just to get the deal done and thus the margin is often compromised. Assuming the project is real and they will actually spend money with someone soon, there is always a danger you may only be making up the numbers. A smarter B2B sales strategy helps you weed out the false opportunities from the real ones to avoid situations where the odds are stacked against you. When you think about it, comfort zone selling is in many ways at the root of all of the above issues. It is habitual, even self-satisfying in the short-term to be working so hard on so many opportunities. However it is far less rewarding in the medium to long-term when too little of any real value comes to fruit. Sales Coach Tip #5 And if people make serious buying decisions based on how confident they feel in a company's ability to meet expectations, then why do so many suppliers waste time pitching their solutions instead of asking constructive questions and listening well in order to build strong relationships with the key players? Left to their own devices, most salespeople can become habitual and even if they work hard, they may not work smart. A skilled external sales coach will help them identify and avoid the false opportunities they might otherwise chase, whilst honing their ability to qualify,Cheap Brett Favre Jersey, develop and win the true ones. To eradicate comfort zone selling means raising the bar across the board. A business to business sales strategy evolution is more viable than a potentially disruptive revolution. It can be a mistake to try to change too much too soon. An experienced sales coach can help you move towards your goal step by step. Profit is Sanity So Keep the Focus on a Margin Rich Sales Strategy Now think how many of the bids you win are "margin compromised" as opposed to margin rich? Being the price leader in an attempt to improve sales performance may work for the budget shop, but it's a very poor sales strategy if you sell value-add or critical solutions or services business to business. Sales Coach Tip #2 Specialist Niche Player Supplier or Large Generalist Supplier? Prospective customers may operate within their own comfort zones and some will turn away from the better solution in order to ensure the safety of their own derriere. A good sales coach will help you separate prospects that will only ever play safe from those that are prepared to back the best solution.

    Would You Like to Score a GSA Schedule and Sell Your Product

    Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 4:53 PM [General]

    Could your company benefit from some extra sales? Why not apply for your own GSA Schedule or you can even apply to go on an existing schedule from another company with your products and/or services. Either way, you will be gaining some extra sales by making your products and/or services available to the government buyers. It is not easy to apply for a GSA Schedule number, as it can take 3-6 months from beginning to end and a pile of paperwork and requirements. Most businesses seek out assistance in this area as well as on-going contract management. GSA contracts are available to large and small businesses that provide nationwide or local services and products. GSA contracts are advertised,Cheap Earl Thomas Jersey, awarded, and managed by GSA regional offices and acquisition centers. Any federal employee with buying authority can purchase your products from the GSA Advantage,Cheap Visanthe Shiancoe Jersey! website. GSA Advantage! is basically an 'online mall' for government buyers. These buyers are equipped with a 'government credit card' which allows them to go online, make a purchase, pay with a credit card and send the order to you. Federal buyers can also place IDIQ (Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity) orders as well. They can also seek you out by your products and/or services and request a quote for a large contract through the e-Buy system. Many companies who currently do federal contract work could obtain more contracts just by being a GSA Schedule Holder. What is a GSA Schedule? A GSA Schedule is an un-funded,Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys, 5-year contract listing the prices the federal government has agreed to pay for a vendors' commercial products and services. The contract may be renewed for three five-year periods resulting in a 20-year contract if all renewals are executed. If your business provides commercial products and/or services, then GSA is a potential customer that you want to get to know and learn how to do business with.
