		<description><![CDATA[There isn’t any magic bullet in what you’re about to read, but there are always things that you can do that without a doubt will increase your sales. There are three things that will increase your business if you do them and work at it. No matter if you pick one or all of them, doing them only once in a while won’t have a huge impact. Consistency is the key. Not doing these simple things is the equivalent of waiting until the end of the month before realizing that you haven’t made any sales.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ahh…resources…..We’ve all got them….Problem is most of us don’t know how to use them. Look around your office. Quite likely there’s a person who knows your systems like the back of their hand and you get confused every time you log on. Ask them for advice! There’s probably a product expert on hand that knows just what additional products you can recommend with your core solution to help you retire quota faster, help you customer deliver a complete solution to their customer and, most importantly, show your customer that you’re thinking about their best interests. Ask them for advice! There’s probably an overworked sales person that can’t handle all of the leads that they have….ask them for leads!   Offer something in return for their generosity, a piece of the deal, or perhaps bring them in on one as a split that they can help you win , it’s a little found business for them]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To be a true Professional, you need to believe in what you’re offering your Customers. Be honest, does your product or service fill a need? Can you really make a difference with your product line up? Do the services that you offer your Customers really live up to their expectations? If not, go back two steps and rethink what you’re offering your Customers. Be honest enough with yourself to know that dishonesty will only come back to haunt you. Usually when you least expect it. Build your reputation in terms of your personal integrity.  Build your call scripts in your own words, and be clear, concise and forthright about them. Under commit and over deliver.  You will earn lifetime Customers this way.

		<description><![CDATA[Now what?!?! The customer said yes and you’ve got a purchase order in your hand! Before you can get that product out the door, there should have been a number of things you did….If you didn’t do them, now you’re real sales skills will come into play. If you didn’t already arrange for a line of credit and for product to be on hand, you best start practicing your tap dancing skills.

Once that purchase order is in your hand, (We’ll assume you’ve set up the credit terms and you do have inventory to ship to your customer….after all, you’re a smart sales professional), call the customer and say thank you! Seems so trivial, but most sales people forget this step. A little thank you goes a long way (your parents should have taught you that!). Keep your customer informed as to the progress of his order. Let him know when it ships by sending him the carrier tracking information, many of the notification needs of you clients can be personalized even using automated systems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our sales world, our time is usually own….so it’s critical to make the most of every hour or every day. You dictate your own fate simply by dictating you spend your time. Be aware of all the things that happen during the day to disrupt your flow. Did you set time aside for returning calls? Did you return every call before the day was done? Did you set time aside to make your prospecting calls? Do your “chores” around your selling hours. Too many people allow their email in box to be their dash board…and allow it to dictate how they spend their time. Don’t fall into that trap.

 

Set you day up so that your “housekeeping” is before your selling hours. Do you have reports due to your manager? Get in early and get them done! Do you have paperwork to file? Get in early and get it done! Do you have quotes due to your Customers? GET THEM DONE! Never, under any circumstance, keep the Customer waiting for your longer than necessary.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you called the prospect and qualified them, then you did the research and now is the time to get down to brass tacks and find out how you can really help.  Since you understand their business at least on the surface, the image and value they present to their customers and of course some third party data that is usually dead on you need to take the next step and learn what they really need.

 

These days people don’t have time to meet with you just because,  if you’re in front of them there is a reason and you offer something that got their attention.   So where to start?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this profession, there are people who think that they just “wing it” when someone actually gets on the phone or returns their phone call. Being unprepared is a sure fire way to lose sales and become very frustrated very quickly. The first impression that you give someone is likely the lasting one…and surely the one that’s either going to allow you to keep moving forward or have the door slammed in your face.

 

Now that we know the difference between a suspect and a prospect...let’s sell them something! No! Not yet….Ask more questions. Find out what keeps them up at night. Ask “besides yourself who else is involved in the decision making processwho else besides the person you’re talking to makes decisions on where products or services are purchased. Take a closer look at their website, learn what they do….Uncover their pain points and you’ll become their hero. Knowing their pain points will help you craft a solution to make their life easier. Ask questions about their likes and dislikes as it pertains to their current supplier. They’ll talk! People love talking about themselves. At no time EVER should you say anything negative about their current supplier! Most salespeople will tend to speak that way. You’re only reinforcing that you think they’re stupid for using that supplier! Be bold. Be smart. Speak in positives. Deliver the solution on your merits, not on the other suppliers’ negatives. Turn those negatives into the things that you can do positively to improve, enhance and help you prospect grow their business. Make your presentation to your prospect positive and upbeat. Show them how working with you will make their lives easier. After all, isn’t that why we’re in sales….to have an easier life! Above all, make your presentation stand out above the others.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[15 Places to Find New Sales Prospects  …Since they don’t grow on trees some of them are tried and true all take a bit of work on your part but will lead to as much business as you want based on effort the effort.

   1. Print media: newspapers, business journals, trade magazines.
   2. State and local government websites and offices for building permits, new incorporations, sales tax registrations, occupancy permits.  It’s a virtual gold mine, if what you sell has anything to do with new businesses, relocations, expansions. This is a prime place to start.
   3. Referrals from customers, prospects, friends, family, business associates, and suppliers – ask for referrals, not everyone has a sales mindset so it just might not be thought of.  The referral doesn’t have to be into a new company. Getting introduced into another part of an existing customer’s organization is just as good. ]]></description>
