GET MORE SALES

If I can please my customers and give them what they want, I believe I could have more sales.

So, if you were (or are) looking for photographs as gifts,home deco,etc, what would you want that photograph to be of?

PS- my store is http://livehappy.ecrater.com

Thanks guys! (:

People want something that holds their interest for a few minutes. Common objects, like your photos, don’t do that without presenting them in an interesting setting or new perspective. Do some research on exposure, composition and color balance.

I really want to increase online sales or simply to get my name out there to book parties in my area.

Any ideas?

Talk to people you know and get references from them. I do an at home business as well and it helps to get out and talk to people. Church, doctor’s office, school, grocery store, etc. are just some ideas. I know several of our teachers really like the scentsy candles.

Mastering the necessary sales presentation skills will increase your results and boost your sales.

A sales presentation doesn’t begin when you are telling and showing the prospect how you’ll solve their problems. It begins before you walk in the door to give the presentation. It begins with doing your homework on the company or person you’re presenting to and continues through the follow up after the sale.

Make sure you’ve done your homework on the company, the people you’re meeting with and as much as you can find out about their problems in advance. Customizing and practicing as much of the specific presentation you’ll give to them before you walk in the door is one of many sales presentation skills you must master.

Connect with your audience, make friends with them before you begin your presentation. If they don’t warm up to you or they aren’t friendly…leave. You’re not going to make the sale anyway so why waste your time?

If you have a fear of speaking or are nervous in a sales presentation, the prospects will spot that and loose confidence in you. Get over your fear of speaking. It’s not ok to be nervous. You need to come across as being extremely confident.

An important sales presentation skill of top sales people is public speaking. Take a public speaking course, join Toastmasters, do what ever is necessary to feel comfortable and confident speaking to one or a hundred people.

A sales presentation should be perfect every time. So how do you make it perfect? Practice, Practice, Practice. When I started in real estate I carried a cassette recorder with me and when I gave a listing presentation I would ask the couple or person if they would mind if I recorded it. I told them it was for my benefit and would help me become better at what I do.

Then I listened to the recording and learned how I sounded, what I said, how I said it, how persuasive I was and in the end how successful I was. It helped me understand what I did right, what I did wrong and what I would do different the next time.

Develop the right attitude. Become so confident in your product or service and the benefits it provides that your shocked when someone doesn’t want to purchase it. You need to have the attitude that someone would have to crazy not to purchase your product.

Also, go in with the attitude that you don’t need the sale. If it’s the end of the month, it’s a big sale or you need the money, it’s likely your prospect will sense you urgency.

You spent the time finding the lead and making the appointment, don’t waste the sales opportunity by not mastering the sales presentation skills to give a great sales presentation.

…website?
I have my own website (blog) and monetize it by having product links from the Amazon marketplace. I think I will have more sales if the product links that I place on my web pages are contextually relevant.

If you join the Amazon associates program, you can post links to their products on your site. Affiliate links that mean you get a commission of someone buys within 24 hours of clicking on that link. Obviously there are other factors that apply

Once you have been accepted into the program, you are given several options for links and banners. It really is up to you.

However it does not work like adsense links where they, i.e. adsense, read the content of your website and try and target the ads served to your content

Are you looking for an inside sales job? Here is a new twist on an age-old, time-tested traditional money-maker. Why not sell a product or service as a part of owning your own business, instead of selling for someone else? You can call on your current or potential clients as well as develop new ones. Of course, you will need to study your product or service very diligently and be able to understand the needs of your prospects, just as with any sales activity.

But here’s the twist – since this will be your own business, you will control your hours, you can work out of your own home, and you can control how much you make! If you’ve been in any form of high-dollar sales in the past, you might want to consider a shift over to selling products and services for yourself, using classic inside sales techniques combined with the Internet. For example, the mortgage industry right now has slowed and many mortgage professionals are looking for work. Why not start your own business instead?

What would this business be, you ask? Look into what we call a direct sales or network marketing business. Traditional examples of this type of business are insurance and real estate. As a licensed agent, you are in business for yourself. To add to your income, you can recruit and train sales people to work under you; training them and helping them be successful. Now you are a broker. The direct sales industry works in a similar way.

Did you know that there are literally hundreds of companies offering direct sales business opportunities? It’s true! A word of caution: some have a better reputation than others. Be sure to consult someone you trust get help in evaluating any opportunity. Please consider yourself invited to my blog and allow me to help you.

If you’ve been in the mortgage, real estate or inside sales professions and are looking for where to move next, please seriously consider what I am proposing. The same skills that you’ve honed in working on the phone calls with potential prospects and qualifying them over the very skills required to be successful in your own direct sales business! There’s great opportunity in the present recession for professional salespeople to transition their career into their own home businesses.

No matter what type of opportunity you feel would suit you best, know that in direct sales, as with anything in life, you will get back whatever you put in. You can make as little or as much as you want. Most direct sales companies offer great opportunities with little or no limit on income potential. The rest will be up to you – how well you manage your time and how strategic you are as you market for prospects. Now is the time for you to investigate this incredible opportunity!
