3 Rules for Successful Up Sells

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:43 PM [General]

    If your product or service allows you the chance to up sell your customer at the point of sale (and seriously, what product or service doesn't?), then you instantly double and even triple your income if you know how to properly suggest and get your prospects and customers to buy more. Case Study: I consulted with a blood plasma company once that sold everything from blood plasma, to flu shots, to disposable supplies. There was a lot to choose from in terms of up sell. We hired a new rep and he quickly became the number one producer because he decided to up sell the same bottles of blood plasma whenever someone bought blood plasma. In other words, he didn't try to them sell them gloves or needles. Here's how it went for him: But the top reps have taken the time to script out the most compelling up sell pitch they can, and then they deliver it with confidence and in an assumptive manner. This makes a huge difference. Here are some great ways to start your up sell script: Take some time this week and map out exactly what specific product or service you're going to up sell with which product you're selling. And then stick to that and pitch that over and over again. There you have it. The three rules to effective up sells. Try them today and watch your sales - and your confidence - soar! 3) Ad lib it. You absolutely have to be prepared, polished and assumptive when asking for the up sell. Again, this is where many sales reps fall short as you'll see.. Over 60% of the time they would! 1) First of all, you absolutely have to ask for the up sell in order to get it. I know that sounds like a "duh!" comment, but take it from me - out of the thousands of sales reps I listen to each year,Cheap Warren Sapp Jersey, a very small percentage actually do. The reason for this is that your client is in the "buying zone" at that moment and that is when you make your up sell offer. Don't worry, they won't cancel their first order - that's in the bag. What you want to do now is suggest an up sell (that you've scripted out and that is compelling) at this exact moment and then hit your mute button and listen. Copyright (c) 2011 Mr. Inside Sales "That's a great choice. And did you know we're running a special offer on two or more cases? Yes, you can get free (shipping, package of wipes, promotional posters, etc..).." "________, I'll tell you what many of my clients are also taking advantage of..." "_________while that policy is perfect for you,Cheap C.J. Spiller Jersey, the smart way to go is to increase your coverage to 2 million dollars for just a $100 more a year. That would be your best move on this..." 1) The first thing you need to do is know exactly what up sell item or service you're going to sell with what product. If you sell many different types of products or services, then you may have a pair them in advance and be ready to offer the product that most likely fits or goes with what it is you're selling. 2) And that leads me to rule #2: Be prepared with a scripted approach. The up sell is one of the easiest and most important parts of your presentation to script out. So many sales reps (like 80% of them), ad lib the up sell (whenever they think about it at all),Cheap Toby Gerhart Jersey, and often aren't convincing nor persuasive. If the client bought two bottles, he would always say, "That's great. You know, we happen to have two more bottles of that left with the same expiration date. They come in a case of four - would you like me to just send you our last four bottles?" First, let's talk about what NOT to do: 2) Ask for the up sell as an afterthought. As you'll see, timing is everything with the up sell. Don't wait until the very end of the sale to suggest one. You have to make it part of your original product offering as you'll see. OK. And now here are the 3 rules for successful up sells: 3) The third rule is that timing is everything! The best time to suggest the up sell is right after your prospect or client has said yes to an order. Don't talk past the close, don't go over any other details, just go right into your up sell pitch.

    7 Secrets to Successful Sales in Small Business

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:43 PM [General]

    Fear of rejection is also a common reason for business owners to dislike sales. Between the old school "used car salesman" experiences and the rejection,2012 Super Bowl Jerseys, it is no wonder people have a bad opinion of sales. Much of the dislike of sales comes from not having a successful system. 5. Give a free sample. This is probably the best strategy you can employ. You know when you are in the grocery store and the nice lady gives you a taste of the newest salad dressing or frozen dinner? It helps you make the decision to buy or not to buy. Same concept! Share your brilliance. Give first and see how it comes back to you. Even if they don't purchase from you immediately, they may tell everyone about your product and how terrific you are, then make a purchase for themselves later. One note: do not expect the prospect to make a purchase just because you gave them something for fr'ee. It does not work that way, one for one, but it will come back to you if you give with no immediate expectation of a return. 1. Believe in your product. When you know in every cell of your body that there are people who will absolutely benefit from your product, you will be doing them a disservice by NOT telling them about it. You must truly believe that your target market will receive value for the price. For example, I know a woman who sells household products with a network marketing company. She is not a trained business person by any means,Packers Jerseys, yet she sells a lot of product because she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that her product changes people's lives for the better. 7. Ask for the sale. There is an old saying in sales - "If you don't ask, you don't get." You can be subtle about it and feel good about your close, but you need to ask. Try my favorite close: "How would you like to move forward?" Then be quiet! Let them take all the time they need to think it over. There is another old saying in sales - "He who speaks first loses." After getting my business degree and working a few years, I realized that I was pretty good at sales and could make good money in sales. I received some of the best sales training available and did make some good money in sales. Let me share my secrets to success with you. 6. Anticipate objections. Prepare for your sales meetings by brainstorming a list of all the reasons why somebody would say 'no' to your offer, then figure out how to overcome each objection. Go one step further and address all objections in your 'pitch' before they are even mentioned. 2. Listen. Most of the time, your prospect will tell you exactly what you need to do and say to close the deal. Let them talk and pay close attention! You might want to start taking notes from the first contact. I love sales, but it was not always this way. Like you, I have had some bad experiences with salespeople that really affected my opinion. 3. Genuinely care about your prospects and their problems. Don't you know when someone is just trying to sell you something and doesn't really care about your problems? Enough said. These 7 Secrets will take you far in your sales meetings. Once you have figured out what works best for you, your product and your target market, do it exactly like that every time. It may become old for you, but the prospect has never heard it before, so don't change it. Put some positive energy into it and don't forget to ask for the sale! 4. Ask questions. Take charge of the sales meeting,Cheap Albert Haynesworth Jersey, guiding the prospect to the conclusion. Ask questions whose answers will allow you to give the prospect the information they need to make a decision. Find out what they have been doing without your product and what problems they need solved.

    The Greatest Salespeople Do This Everyday, But Do YOU

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:43 PM [General]

    The most important thing the rich invest in is themselves. They make sure they stay at the top performance level possible, therefore they are constantly reading, attending seminars, listening to audio programs and every other thing possible in order to improve themselves. They do this everyday. Mark Cuban the BILLIONAIRE to this day reads 3 hours each day. When he started out he stated that he would read any business/self improvement book he could get his hands on and his mentality was if I learn ONE THING from this book then this book will pay for itself numerous times over and over again. That is the mindset you need to adopt. "I would continuously search for new ideas. I read every book and magazine I could. Heck 3 bucks for a magazine, 20 bucks for a book. One good idea and it paid for itself many times over. Some of the ideas I read were good, some not. In doing all the reading I learned a valuable lesson. Everything I read was public. Anyone could buy the same books and magazines. The same information was available to anyone who wanted it. Turns out most people didn't want it." - Mark Cuban Let's just say the difference between me and him was I decided to invest my hard earned money into myself. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you invest in yourself. Follow the mindset Mark Cuban had. If you only learn ONE THING that it will totally be worth it. Not only will you improve yourself, but you will get ahead of the competition as well because here's a little secret 90% of the people don't INVEST IN THEMSELVES. Shocking huh? That's why the wealth in America is owned by 7% of the population. Those 7% are willing to do what the others aren't and one of the actions they are willing to take is to invest in them self. The beauty in constantly learning especially in the starting is one product,Cheap Ben Roethlisberger Jersey, book,Cheap Brandon Jackson Jersey, audio program,Cheap Jim Kelly Jersey, seminar will completely change your life. You ask any successful person and they always refer to one thing that changed them for the better. It's hard to explain, however it happens. For Warren Buffet the greatest investor in the world the life changing product was "How To Win Friends And Influence People." For myself it was the program called "The Wealth Trigger." I remember the day I bought The 11 Forgotten Laws vividly. I remember at the time I was trying to get my friend to come with me so we could purchase it. The program at that time was about $20.00 and I thought we could each put in $10 to purchase it, however we really couldn't afford to invest $20 in to something that might not be what it proclaimed to be. But anyways I decided I was going to take the risk and I asked my friend if he would do the same however, he refused as he said "no I don't buy into all that mambo shambo it's all BS to me and it's probably just a scam I'm not wasting my hard earning money on that crap." Now it's obvious that we all can muster up about $10, however he saw no point in doing so. I however thought I would give it a shot and I managed to make some extra money and went ahead and bought it. I told my friend that I had bought it and he just laughed at me telling me "wow dude your an idiot", but I still went ahead and watched it and what I learned was astonishing. I can definitely say the teachings of The 11 Forgotten Laws that I utilized has led to the success I have reached today. It has helped me in many ways and continues to do so. Where as my friend on the other hand who didn't buy into all this "BS" as he proclaimed still struggles to this day and doesn't realize why he encounters one failure after the next. Matter fact he is still in the same position where he was when the program first came out if not gone back a few steps, where as I have excelled and have reached success. Ekam this is a MUST READ!

    Selling - Would You Rather Do It or Teach It

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:42 PM [General]

    I was talking to an entrepreneur who described a young salesman that he had trained. Alternatively, if you invest in research and development to the exclusion of disseminating the fine content you have already created, you'll suffer from frequent feast-and-famine episodes, incurring repeated risks to the financial health of your enterprise. True, you're not building equity, in the conventional sense. Typically, that fat commission check doesn't contain shares of stock in the venture. But there's nothing to prevent you from learning enough as a seller to then open your own shop, later on, with savings and the savvy you accumulated. Ultimately, that's a value judgment. But it's not the same challenge as grinding it out, day after day, and year after year, in the trenches of commerce, selling for someone else's business. Like classroom teachers, you'll be tempted to take the shortcut of using your old, ragged notes of yesteryear, because they're so tried-and-true. Your trainees will remind you of your creeping obsolescence by asking you if you've heard of the flashy "new" sales method of the month. And this is the fundamental scourge of becoming an independent sales guru, or really a "talent," a speaker, performer, or consultant of any kind. At first,Cheap Greg Lloyd Jersey, the initiate was so timid that he'd leave an establishment without even pitching his wares. Under threat of termination, he returned to the same stores and racked up some orders. One of the downsides to teaching others is that you might pay the awful price of stalling your own learning. Yes, you'll get better and better at delivering that seminar, but you probably won't get enough NEW selling experience to spawn your next set of insights. Indeed,Cheap Bills Jerseys, salespeople that haven't had to run their own businesses have no idea how spoiled and pampered they are. Simply being able to FOCUS on one challenge, refining and perfecting it as time passes, is an amazing luxury. Before long, he opened his own motivational speaking enterprise, and it seems, he made a smooth transition and a living at it. How can you innovate, stay on the leading edge, tirelessly hustle for new accounts, and do the actual training, bookkeeping and related fulfillment functions? As a general rule, if you're really top-notch as a seller, you'll make more money on the phone and in the field than from behind a podium. For one thing, as a salesperson, you're a specialist, wearing one hat. You've had a more exciting, dramatic, and varied career. You took bigger risks, and from time to time, they yielded mightier rewards. Your name is in the Library of Congress, and is mentioned with respect by historians of the sales game, but your counterpart's name is at the top of a fatter financial statement. Where is the leverage in that? Who came out ahead? You would think, "Hey, it's my own business,Cheap Cleveland Browns Jerseys, so there is unlimited growth potential!" but that's often illusory. Even if you are lucky enough to create a true "hit," like a song or a stage "act" that goes viral or packs the house, you won't be able to clone yourself and staff fast enough to fully take advantage of the trend you launched. Apparently, teaching selling skills was a better fit for him than making sales, though of course, in your own business you still need to earn business. As a top salesperson, you must have wondered, "Wouldn't I be better off training others to do what comes so naturally to me? Shouldn't I launch my own consulting business, write books, record audios and videos, blog, and call my own shots?" Competitors, lone wolves and larger, and better-financed firms will imitate faster than you can generate, though you were the one to initiate. You don't have to pay the rent or light bill, make sure the copier has toner, and submit form after form to the government. You're in a turnkey operation. Everything is designed for you and around you and aimed at supporting you. While you're tussling with these tensions, the other you, your clone in the parallel universe that never stopped selling, exclusively, well, that person is thriving. Because even if you strike out on your own, as one of my clients once said: "I've never met a problem in business that a few more sales couldn't cure!" One piece of advice: NEVER STOP SELLING, even if you believe you have promoted yourself way above the job title, salesperson. In a training business, you need to sell an account and manufacture the content and then travel to and deliver the class, speech or seminar. While there are satisfactions to be gained from having total project responsibility, there are also drawbacks, not the least of which is a fracturing of your attention, and ultimately, exhaustion, if you keep doing it all alone, whether you succeed or fail.

In order to be a lasting influence, you should really have the best personality that you can have. We are lastingly influenced by people who are just very very good.

After all, money mean security. If you have money in this world you can feel very secure. There is nothing that will stop you. There's nothing that you cannot do if you are wealthy enough. How to influence people forever? Now, as you know as a persuader it is really good to be good at influencing people while there.

    Why I Work

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:42 PM [General]

    When I am really tired and want to slow down, one area that keeps me pushing forward is the realization that our staff depends on me to grow my book of business. I have an obligation to the young mother in the mail room, the newly married young man in desktop publishing, the single mother at the switchboard, the account executive recently divorced.

The obligation I have to them is deep and important. If we have to eliminate positions because of poor growth, it is my fault. Not an easy thought, not a light obligation First there are the obvious reasons: For some reason, this did not resonate with me. In reality sales people are in a symbiotic relationship with our employer. Our employer needs us to generate sales, and we need them because of their great resources. Because I am in a consulting business, our company makes no products. So the real strength of our company is our people, the tools available to us and our culture. I don't work harder because I feel "lucky" to work for the company I am with. Actually it is a mutual relationship where I am lucky to work for a great company with great resources, and the company is lucky to have me because of my ability to grow revenues. I love what I do. I work because it is exciting, fun and challenging This led me to truly think about the reasons I work. I work for my family. To provide the things that will make their lives better I am in sales and as such am part of the engine that keeps our company vibrant. Recently,Cheap Patrick Chung Jersey, because of the stress on our numbers, our CEO exclaimed that we, as salespeople,Cheap David Garrard Jersey, are in a elite group chosen by our company and we owe it to the company to make sure we meet our goals.

    Diwali Gifts - Origin, Importance and Evolution

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:41 PM [General]

    Celebration of the festival begins with the exchange of Diwali gifts. Generally the eldest members of the family bring clothes for the young members and the young members bring some sweets for members in the family who are younger to them and the exchange of Diwali gifts thus follows a hierarchy. Diwali are very important because it is through gifts that the elders in the family get a chance to show their love and affection for the other members of the family. Also gifts add much more fun, anxiety and excitement to the festival. In modern times as people have become busier the idea of online Diwali gifts has also evolved.

    Do You Have What It Takes to Make THE LIST

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:27 PM [General]

    You are connected via social media and/or email to a few furniture dealers, manufacturers or experts. You receive updates, articles, white papers,Cheap Raiders Jerseys, and other resources on a consistent basis from some of them but not so much from others. Since it's your job to stay on top of this area of your business, you check out the information that seems most interesting to you because you know someday you will be back in the market for office furniture. Set up appointments for formal presentations,Cheap Philip Rivers Jersey, negotiate changes and price, and then notify the vendors of your final decision. Meet live and in person with sales reps and try to ascertain the differences among the products. I would like to take you way, way back to the early '90s. Now, of course, this story may be a bit of a simplification of THE PROCESS or THE NEW PROCESS,Seattle Seahawks Jerseys, but the idea you want to take away is that things have changed, and we all need to be part of the change or else we may find ourselves and/or our companies in the group that doesn't even get contacted to be a part of THE NEW PROCESS. The steps of THE PROCESS went something like this: One last question: Would you be on the list of finalists a potential customer chooses after searching online for the type of products or services you offer? Use the pile of brochures you receive to prepare a detailed comparison spreadsheet. Contact the three vendors from whom you'd like to receive a formal pricing proposal, and notify the others that they're out of the race. Contact any of your friends who are connected to employees of these dealers and discuss their experiences. Read any online recommendations you uncover. This should help you narrow the field to a few good candidates. Let THE PROCESS begin. Step 1 (several months before you need the furniture) Don't get left behind. Be sure to: In those days, when businesses wanted to buy a product like the one I sell, office furniture, they would start months before they were ready to place an order. Why? Well, you had to go through THE PROCESS to try to figure out which of the ten office furniture dealers in the greater Milwaukee area you wanted to work with. You might have started with your current vendor, if you could even remember who that was since it had been so long since you'd purchased any new office furniture (the stuff really does last a long time!). Now think about how that same customer goes about THE NEW PROCESS today. This article is a story about changes that are taking place in my business, but I am pretty confident it applies to your business as well. Step 3 (a couple weeks later) The next step was probably opening up a drawer in your beat-up old desk and pulling out your trusty Yellow Pages. Set up appointments with the three survivors. Step 3 Contact each dealer's references. Step 1 (potentially a long time prior to needing office furniture) Each makes a formal presentation with a big, fat three-ring binder with lots of pretty pictures and the total price way in the back. Notify the lucky winner and the not-so-lucky losers. Then go back and forth about changes in the proposal and negotiate your price.

    Why is Selling the Greatest Job in the World

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:27 PM [General]

    The lifeblood of any business is repeat business from satisfied customers and referrals from those customers. You'll be amazed how often the answer is to help him buy your product. What is selling? Selling is not tricking people into buying. Real selling is many things. You can actually make a living selling by pressuring, using trick closes, and exaggerating claims, but you will never build a customer following with these tactics. You will never grow a business. Selling is making someone happy. People love to acquire new things. They like to buy something from a friendly, helpful salesperson. The experience of buying from you may be the high point of that person's day. If the customer isn't happier after they buy what you sell, you are selling the wrong thing. If you help your customer as a trusted advisor, you have taken a big step in the right direction. Always hold the thought in your head "What is the best thing I can do for this customer?" Selling is improving the economy and making money flow. A bad economy doesn't mean there is less money. Nobody burned the money. It simply isn't changing hands fast enough. The act of selling something speeds the money along to the people who made the product, their workers, the worker's families, and to the merchants they buy from. Every time you buy something, hundreds of people benefit. And people who sell more, buy more. Selling is helping people grow.If you have a product or service that will improve the customer's life in some way, you are helping this customer lead a better life. Does your product save more money than it costs? Then You are obligated to answer any question they have,Cheap Green-Ellis Jersey, that will help tem start saving money as soon as possible. If selling is so great, why isn't everyone doing it? Because of what most people believe selling is. Selling isn't using double-talk to confuse a customer. Selling is clarifying. Selling is educating. "How to sell" is the most profitable knowledge you can gain. Selling is the applied science of human nature. Knowing what motivates your fellow humans, what makes them happy,Cheap C.J. Spiller Jersey, content, laugh,Cheap Aaron Smith Jersey, and like someone is valuable knowledge. Not to use with petty intent, but to make their lives better by knowing you. CEO's of large companies are almost always great salespeople. A great salesperson, with a following of loyal customers is always in high demand...no matter what te economy is. Selling is the only job in any company that actually generates a profit. All other people in the company depend on the business generated by salespeople. Salespeople are the backbone of any profitable enterprise. Just stop selling and see how long a company lasts. Not long. Selling is giving great advice. This is my favorite outlook. Selling at its best is simply giving advice that will benefit the customer. Real, unbiased advice can be seen from a mile away. So can a lie. So can advice with an agenda. "What is the best thing for this customer?" is a question professionals ask themselves. This attitude will show itself in every word and gesture.

    Learning Your Prospect's Language

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:27 PM [General]

    When presenting a proposal, it is crucial that the language you use reflects the prospect's interests. While your vocabulary may reveal the knowledge you have of your industry or your company's products and services, its specialized terms may not be in the same language spoken by Mr. Big. Every industry has its own argot,Wesley Walker Jersey, or set of words, acronyms, and code phrases that serve as a verbal shorthand for insiders. Some of this jargon has become fairly well-known in the general version of English we all speak-but most of it hasn't. Communication that is not received can't be understood, so it doesn't occur. I don't know if a tree that falls in the forest when no one is there makes a sound-but I can guarantee that no one is going to buy the lumber. Sales don't happen if the prospect doesn't receive the message. It's important that you identify the specialized terms you use in your presentations and make sure they are ones that Mr. Big will understand. Be especially careful of acronyms-those collections of initials that are taking over our language. This may be perfectly clear to a stockbroker or an accountant, but what does it mean to simple folk like you and me-or Mr. Big? If you suspect that your prospect doesn't understand something, by the way, there's nothing wrong with pausing in your presentation to clear up the confusion. This holds true whether it's because of your use of an unfamiliar term or any other cause of lack of clarity. When the prospect gets that quizzical look, stop the pitch and offer to clear up the misunderstanding. Just make sure you blame yourself for the problem by saying something to the effect, "I sense that I've failed to make something clear. You look like you have a question." Then give them time and space to ask their question. The specialized language you do need to know,Cheap Stanford Routt Jersey, though, is the prospect's. Sprinkling a few well-chosen (and correctly used) phrases from Mr. Big's line of business into your presentation will help you gain credibility. If you're selling to a car dealer, you should know what an "up" is. Furniture stores carry "case goods" and appliance stores sell "white goods" and sometimes "brown goods." Almost all retailers keep track of their "SKU's." If you're going to sell to prospects in these categories, you need to know their language. Just make sure you use the terms correctly-and don't overdo it. One of the biggest dangers of using specialized terms is that not only are they not understood, they can make the prospect feel ignorant. And few people enjoy that feeling or appreciate the person who gives it to them. Most of the time, the prospect will never let you know that he doesn't understand what you're talking about. After all, who likes to admit their ignorance? In the worst case scenario, you'll lose the sale and never really know it's because Mr. Big didn't comprehend just exactly what it was you were trying to sell him. You'll pick up a lot of your prospects' jargon when you do your research. You can also learn a lot by reading the trade publications from their industries and browsing the web sites of their trade associations. Many of them offer a glossary of industry terms that you'll find particularly useful. For example, most people know that a "spot" on television means a short commercial message. But how many know what a "donut" means in TV-language? (It's a commercial message where the beginning and end remain the same from showing to showing but the middle-the hole in the donut-is changed frequently.) Your industry has its own jargon,Sideline Black United Jerseys, too. "We are offering you only Bb+ rated or better NYC GO's, Mr. Big, so your 1099 will be very simple."

    The High Probability Sales Style

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:26 PM [General]

    In this article I'll be discussing a particular sales model based on the book,Cheap San Francisco 49ers Jerseys, "High Probability Selling,Cheap Willie Brown Jersey," by Jacques Werth. This offers a fresh new look at the sales process, and can dramatically increase your sales without any stress or anxiety that many people associate with sales. If you've ever sold anything before, especially if you really needed the sale, you know how nerve wracking and frustrating it can be. One simple "No" can ruin everything. However, with this new sales model, this will soon change. Think of a deck of cards. You and another person have to go through the deck as quickly as possible and pull out all the aces. It's a race, so you have to go as quick as you can. You go through the deck in about twenty seconds, and separate the aces from the rest of the pack. You look over at your friend, and he's staring at each card, trying desperately to turn it into an ace. This may sound absolutely crazy, but this is exactly what salespeople do when they try to convince uninterested people into buying their products. This process is incredibly simple and incredibly powerful. You'll save time, energy and make a lot more money. And your customers will respect you a lot more as well. When you sell based on the old school model, you get yourself in front of a client, and try your hardest to convince them that they should buy your product. There are seemingly endless varieties of doing this, from using psychological tricks to over the top hard ball selling techniques. With High Probability Selling, you can kiss all these creators of stress goodbye. Selling can be a tough business. If you are in sales, or you own your own business and are dependent on sales for your livelihood, then you know how vital sales can be. When sales are good, everybody is happy and things look rosy, but when sales dry up, the world feels like it's going to collapse. By learning a simple method to consistently sell more products with less stress and anxiety, you'll increase your income dramatically. You can easily sort through your prospects just as easily as you sort through a deck of cards. When you find the aces,Cheap Kerry Collins Jersey, they'll buy your product without any persuasion or manipulation. How do you do this? Come up with a five or ten second statement regarding your prospect or service, then simply ask the prospect if their interested. If they are, keep going with more information. If they aren't, then simply move on to the next person. It's that easy.

    One Rule You Should Always Live By When Advertising and Sell

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:26 PM [General]

    I will give you an example that works for anyone over 50. A woman is talking about finding out that she had cancer. Her doctor was not really compassionate and just blurted it out and gave her no hope. She did a little research and she found the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Now I am not in that age group yet. I do have parents that are over 70. When I saw this commercial,Cheap Brian Urlacher Jersey, I paid attention. They did not give me the story of the hospital and what they do. They were talking to my fears of being diagnosed with a life threatening disease and finding a place that would treat me with respect and offer me opportunity. That was effective advertising. There is one simple rule that applies to both advertising and sales and it is this: it is not about you, it is about your prospect and her needs. If you want a memorable ad, you can go for shock or good music. If you want it to be memorable to your target market,Cheap Mewelde Moore Jersey, make it about their needs. You will catch the attention of your customer and more important, they will remember the name of your company and the fact that you have exactly what they need. In the case of an actual sale, there are many ways for you to adapt this idea to whatever you sell. The first step for you is to learn as much as you can about your target market. Make sure you have one. Many people think that because everybody buys their product then everyone is their target. Pick a group to concentrate your efforts on regardless of what you are working with. Then study them and figure out what they like, what they hate, what scares them and what makes them happy. Develop your strategy based on what their needs are and how to fulfill them. If you have a sales meeting,Cheap Bart Scott Jersey, make sure you know as much as you can about the person in that meeting. You can ask as many questions as you want. Just make sure that you are listening to the answers and tailor your presentation accordingly. The reason why studying your market is so important is because it will give you ideas on how to manage the situation. The rest is up to you. When you are trying to sell your products or services, how do you approach the meeting? Do you start by talking about your product and how your company has been in business for many years? Maybe you tell them all a story about how you got involved in this business. Your prospect does not care and the sooner you learn that, the better off you will be. Have you ever watched a commercial you love and no matter how hard you try, you have no idea what they were advertising? Is that effective? There is a new ad on TV that shows many different animals that get along. It has a catchy song about how they can all play and work together. However, I cannot tell you what company the ad is for. It is not that I don't want to tell you, I just can't remember. Was that an effective use of those advertising dollars?

    Tips and Tricks to Use in Negotiations

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:26 PM [General]

    - Is an agreement on this possible? - Is this the best use of time and energy? - Is this going to make a relationship better, or at least not ruin one? Some words have different meanings depending on culture, so be conscious in word choice when dealing with people from different backgrounds. To improve your listening skills, ask relevant questions such as "Did I understand you correctly that....?" It is more than wise to not just focus on your own objectives. If you start off talking about one idea, you will take it on as a position, defend it vigorously, and hamper your own best efforts. If at all possible,Cheap Maurice Jones-Drew Jersey, keep any group meetings small. Don't use "You" but "I or we" statements. Any personality conflicts need to be resolved before it becomes a serious problem. Never attack a person, just a problem. Positions are often concrete, and won't be changed - so there's no point in negotiating them. How to negotiate effectively is critical to any kind of career success. Remember not to wasteany time negotiating over positions. Failure to communicate equals failure to negotiate. Sometimes people in negotiations are just acting as if they are doing their work. Positions, like those relating to price, can cause someone to give in,Cheap William Henderson Jersey, but it takes a lot of time and could backfire. When negotiating becomes a pure battle of wills, relationships sour or even end. Find a medium between playing hardball and being too nice, and use it. Learning Guide Questions How do you plan to improve your skills in marketing communications? What kind of concepts do you feel can be readily negotiated? Before jumping into a negotiation,Cheap Andre Reed Jersey, give yourself a brief test. of negotiator you're dealing with. Decide in advance what you cannot simply let go of. Work together toward a goal, and evaluate each side objectively. Don't fall in to pressure - instead consider principles. Focus on individual interests and innovative ways to solve other people's problems. When this is done, the salesperson also draws a benefit. Don't try to trick anybody - remember that together you can reach a positive goal. Another problem can be listening - both parties can be guilty of not really hearing what is being said. Never attack another person, and learn to see problems as impersonal. People and problems don't necessarily have to go together. Take time to analyze and separate the issues from people.

    The Art of Listening to Your Sale The First Key Step in the

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:26 PM [General]

    This rep's ability to sell was lost after the first sales pitch constituted a product that the customer didn't have a need for. This rep would have been better served by opening the call by asking the target what they had a need for or other probing questions. If this rep had listened to the need of his target first, the rep would have found out that this owner had a big need for some of Widget's other products. Instead of listening to the target, then positioning Widget's product line according to needs, the rep had the sole focus of closing the target on the new product, and missed out on at least one sale, in the process. Every sales person at some point has heard the phrase, "ABC" or "Always Be Closing", and it is a mantra that reps have had beaten into their heads, long before Alec Baldwin so famously illustrated this, during a scene in the epic movie "Glengarry Glen Ross". While Baldwin's character did show the requisite charisma,Cheap Derek Hagan Jersey, confidence and fortitude, characteristics in reps that are desired by so many organizations, I feel the "ABC" process falls short. While I agree the opening of any sales call or negotiation should begin and end with a constant close, I feel the most important step may have gone unnoticed. I have personally witnessed and heard hundreds of outstanding sales pitches in the last 10 years, but a large majority of them failed to make their mark. They have done so because they failed to listen. For example, lets take the case of a rep for a fictional company called, Widgets, Inc.. They have a large portfolio, and are launching a new product called the "Flugal" that the reps are positioning as their primary product in their bag. The rep goes in to visit the Smith Co. (which manufactures all kinds of products and could use the new "Flugal" in their manufacturing), and is about to close the owner on the "Flugal". The rep walks in and after a great 45-60 second sales pitch, complete with a fantastic close, the owner says "no". After several rebuttals the owner finally informs the rep, that his brother sells a competitor of the "Flugal" and will not change for anyone, regardless of any factors related to the product. Now the rep has lost all ability to talk about any other products, because the owner has lost attention, patience and excitement needed for another 45-60 sales discussion of other products. While this example above was fictitious, every sales rep or manager reading this article,Cheap Tashard Choice Jersey, can remember several instances in their own careers, where the best course of action would have been to listen first. Listening to the target is a lot like looking at a map. What you hear from the target will give you the precise "route" to take to complete the sales process in the fastest, most efficient way. Once that route has been established, by all means, close, close, close. I know on the surface this notion of listening appears very elementary. However, in a close examination of many sales calls and presentations, honest sales reps would agree, there were many times they would have been best served to let the target tell them, in their own words, how to close them. No matter what industry you may sell in, there is always one hot button that a potential target has, and the reps job is to simply find it. That plan is impossible to undergo if the rep simply barges in and has the mentality, "Close, Close, Close". It could be said that in the current sales environment, the strategy of "Always Be Closing", could quickly be turning into "Always Be Closing the door behind me, without a sale" if one is not careful. The key is to "Open" your ears, to help you "Close" the sale. My observation has been that these pitches were missing a key element, a precise target. While the young sales rep wants so desperately to sell this product X, they would have been better served to ask questions to find out that their target was actually looking for product Y. Perhaps back in the early 90's, when this movie was filmed and many decades before, the same simple approach to selling may have worked. However, with the multitude of technologies, products,Cheap Kenny Britt Jersey, companies and sales reps in every field today, potential customers, clients or targets are looking for very specific products and services to fill their needs. Each potential sale will hinge on the reps ability to find that specific need that the client is looking for. In order to reach this goal, the rep will need to ask questions and simply listen. Once the target has begun to discuss their needs, the answer will become known to an experienced and talented listener.

    Qualifying Customers - The Key to Successful Sales For Your

    Saturday, June 30, 2012, 8:14 PM [General]

    These sample questions can help you determine the prospect's time frame and readiness to start project: Simply needing or wanting a home repair or improvement is not enough. Many prospects want things they can't afford, or have unrealistic budgets. In order to determine if the customer can afford your services, make sure that he has set a budget sufficient to accomplish the proposed project. Can I see your paint color samples? What ideas do you really like? How soon do you want this project completed? What (colors, brand, model, style, etc.) have you selected for this part of the project? Here are sample questions to help you determine if your prospect has a sufficient budget: As previously noted in my previous article on Marketing Your Handyman Business, a typical sales process for a home improvement business requires the following steps. Qualifying means to ensure that someone will make a good customer. Not everyone who contacts you will make a good customer,Cheap Mike Wallace Jersey, so it is best to assess the prospective customer's 'qualities' before deeming them appropriate to do business with your company. Qualifying is very important, as you only have so much time and energy for selling. You want to be sure that you are selling to the most appropriate individuals. The Operations section of this guide has a discussion on "What jobs to avoid" that will further help you to qualify prospective customers. What is your end goal for this project? What would you like your (bathroom, kitchen, basement, deck, bedroom...) to look like when it is complete? Have you seen other examples that you like? You may have seen something in a magazine or in a friend or neighbor's home that you like. Try asking questions such as the ones outlined below Marketing Qualifying Selling Getting Hired! What is you budget range for this project? What (colors, brand, model, style, etc.) have you selected for this part of the project? Are you planning on paying for this project all at once, or will you be financing it? Customers also need to have a realistic time frame for when they want the project done. A prospect who can't tell you when he wants the project completed isn't serious about starting it in the first place. Some people are natural salespeople, while others have to work at it. No matter which category you fall under,Cheap Jabari Greer Jersey, there is an abundance of material written to improve your skills in sales and selling. In addition to reading this article, a person new to selling should read other sales materials and attend sales training and seminars. The more you learn, the better a sales person you will become. Asking open-ended questions, those that require more than a one word or yes/no reply, will help in the process of eliciting the information you need. A closed-ended question is one that typically has a one-word response. For example: Do you like this shade of green? --The likely response is either yes or no. Through your marketing efforts, you are attracting people with a home repair or home improvement need. Then through qualifying, you are ensuring that your prospective customer has the money and the motivation to hire you to get his or her project done. The responses to these questions will give you a better understanding of your prospect's wants and needs, and the information to qualify your prospective customers. Much of the work of selling is learning about your customers, understanding their needs, and determining whether or not they are qualified to buy what you are selling. This last step is crucial. If they are not qualified,Cheap Art Monk Jersey, then it doesn't matter if you can sell your services, as they do not have the ability to buy them. Each business will need to define for itself what a qualified customer means. An example of a simple approach is that a prospective customer will qualify if he has a need, a budget and a realistic time frame to get the project completed.
