Would You Like To Know The Key to Getting People To Purchase Your Product?

So here is the age old question, what every salesperson seeks an answer to, how can I get my prospects to buy my product /service?  Are you ready for the great answer?  YOU CAN'T!  Great I'm wasting time reading an article where you tell me I can't make people buy? Not quite. Hear  me out.

 One of the best ways you can get your client to buy your product or service is to know when they are ready to buy.  You see everyone is going to buy something eventually, a tv, marketing class, consulting seminar, a new car etc;

The point is, you need to know when they are ready.  No one buys until they are ready to buy. When is that? Only they know.  The key in sales is to always put yourself in front of your prospect. Send them great newsletters, product offers, what is new and exciting with your company, and when they are ready you may just be selling what they are looking for.  Sales is about relationships. No one is confident buying a product from someone they have no relationship with.  Begin building those relationships and keep your company in front of  your client.  If you offer what they need when they need it, you are sure to get the sale!  Happy relationship building!

Greatest Salesman In the World Via Network Marketing

Today the internet is filled with marketing opportunities. But an important component in being a successful marketer is relationships. Sometimes when we are behind our phones, computers, blackberry's and IPhones that thought can escape our attention. I am marketing to a real living human being.  It is such a simple task to be polite, thank someone, welcome them, and perhaps leave them with a witty quote or phrase. Those small details can make all the difference in the world.  Would you buy from " Hey I have 10 ways you  can put  a book shelf together" or "Wow I noticed you love to read in  your profile,  I do also, I just finished reading Og Mandino's The Greatest Salesman" I am so thankful that I have these instructions on how to put a book shelf together so I have a place for my prized book."  Huge difference.  So remember while the twitter robots are flying and the social bookmarks are sending, and the bloggers are blogging and the linkedIN are networking....there are real people behind those names. Show interest in people don't just be a product pusher and your business will soar.

Another Great Tool For The Small Business Owner Merchant Accounts

If you don't know this already one of the greatest problems facing small business owners is collecting on accounts. Many times businesses are over extended, paid for too much inventory and now they look at you with empty hands.  This can be a very frustrating issue. So What is a business owner to do? Find ways to receive money that will ensure it gets into your account quickly and efficiently.  Recently I had a friend tell me how much more business he did due to accepting credit cards. He said it made it very easy for clients to say,"you have the card so just add ......"  So I began researching because I don't like to be overcharged for anything.  I came across a great deal. A merchant account that beats all of its competitors, great 2.19% rate. Low monthly fee $7.99 , and excellent customer service. Plus they will pay you!  I know it sounds too good to be true but I really do work hard to present you with some great deals and this is no exception. So this is what you do Call my rep her name is    Meagan   1.800.941.6557 ext 2124  in order to get the great rate tell her Lisa Cash Hanson from Blueberry Baboon referred you ..and you are on your way to saving and keeping more of your money!  Good Luck!

Newsletters ,The Perfect Worm For Your Hook

This is one of my favorite photos. I believe it symbolizes the spirit of the entrepreneur. Never quit! Sometimes when you are running your own business there are times when you feel like quitting. Some factors that contribute to those feelings are decreased sales, lack of clientele,etc: Any time I come across a service that I believe would help alleviate your stress and increase your profits as a business owner I want to share it. So here we go. Today I was listening to a conference call  with Jim Palmer, also known as the Newsletter Guru. I'm including his link below. You will find some excellent resources for your business such as newsletter templates, crafting great copy and more.

  Of course the first step in this process would be to have a list of potential customers. However if you have the list it's important to know what to do with it. If you have a lake  filled with  fish they're fun to look at, but if you intend to catch one, you better put a worm on the hook and then put the hook in the water. I really enjoyed the tips I received to day. I always like to share information I believe you will find helpful.  So check out Jim Palmer's site below I believe it's the perfect worm for your hook! Have a great day

Great Pay Doesn't Always Mean Great Attitudes.

A common problem with the  lack of productivity  in the workplace is the result of poor attitudes. Many consultants tell the CEO in order to resolve  these issues increase your workers salary. That will lead to  happier employees, which translates to greater productivity.  This is not always the truth. I have also heard  the philosophy that attitudes trickle down from the top  and when a company is experiencing  a conflict within the staff it is a result of upper management  and a flawed  approach. Again , not always the case. If you are interested in my techniques that will guarantee a strong and healthy work environment without increased costs, then call now. My fresh approach will change the atmosphere of your office from spoiled to the sweet aroma of success and harmony.

KISS (Not What You Think)

KISS a common phrase usually associated with Keep It Simple Stupid.  I don't like to call names so I would never use this phrase in that way. I choose to use that phrase this way, Keep It Separate for Success.  What do I mean? You will notice there is a picture of the world . Imagine those  are your hands.  You are an entrepreneur  and a  business owner. You believe your client is potentially the  whole world, a common mistake often made by new business owners. Even though I'm sure you think your product or service is amazing the whole world will not be your client.  You will have to define your market.  Once you have achieved that lets say you have the attention of your "niche" in the world.

It is so important as a business owner to always present a professional presentation. Most of us come from diverse backgrounds . It is good to share your experiences, different industries in which you have achieved success etc;. That said , with social networking at our finger tips...you must keep your business and your personal life separate.  If you have a twitter account even if you have 2,000 or more followers do not mix business and personal tweets. Create an account for each. There are great tools available one which I use is tweetdeck.  You can manage multiple platforms at once.  There is nothing that erodes your clients confidence  quicker than receiving a tweet saying, "my dog ate my sock" or "brushing my teeth".  It makes you appear.......well not very professional. Keep your business accounts related to your business, providing information on services, article of interest etc. Today is Martin Luther King Day. I did tweet a post with his speech. But I find that unity in humanity is the most important topic for a business owner ,so that is acceptable. Remember this phrase KISS , with it's new definition Keep It Separate for Success and I know you will succeed!

Treat Others How You'd Like To Be Treated.

Today's tip: ACT RIGHT! OK that's the shortened version but it's this entire article summed up in that simple phrase. When you are working with others on a project with deadlines and pressures, it can be a challenge. When others are stressed, ill prepared or nervous it can cause tension and strife. Strife promotes anxiety which promotes bad attitudes, short tempers which promotes harsh words. I feel like singing the ankle bones connected to the knee bone the knee bones connected to the...... In any case, as a leader you must avoid the temptation to snap. It is so much easier to get people to corporate with you when you smile, speak calmly, take control of the situation without controlling people. So here are some tips:
Smile
Speak slowly and in a calm tone
Be patient ( you don't know what that person is dealing with at home or in their personal life so be patient)
Always speak respectfully.
Never cuss. ( I can't believe I even have to say this one but I experienced it recently)
If you cuss in front of your employees it shows a complete lack of self control and intelligence in my opinion.
Always be prepared. If you are in control and at ease others will be at ease with you.
Those are some tips for today. People will always be willing to work with you , if you are willing to work with them.
