Business

What is sales?

What is sales?
Sales have transferred from an ‘Outside’ sales environment to an ‘inside’ sales environment. Whereby the time we are able to make our pitch, prospects know more about us than we know about ourselves.
Indeed, in this informational world, people have the opportunity to learn about you, and your service. Whether good or bad, this information is readily available before your prospects even meet you.
In today’s day and age the subject of ‘relationship marketing’ couldn’t be more critical to business owners, entrepreneurs & professional sales people no matter the industry.
It’s is about having;
A servant heart and;
Mindset
Hence, sales is the art of helping someone and giving back to your community.
Therefore, to help and give back, our mindset should be in such a place to have a servant’s heart. Simply put, there is no better way to succeed than to bring the best version of yourself to the table. It’s definitely true that we are all capable of being genuine and authentic.
One way of doing this is collaboration (sales vs. being pitchy) and here is how it’s done;
Start with your mindset
Lead with your heart, not your wallet
Have a normal conversation between 2 people
Inform yourself about the person you’re meeting with before you meet
In order to succeed as a salesperson, you must get to know people…period end of story!
Finally, sales is about relationships, and the more focus you put on building relationships, the more successful you’ll be in business, not to mention your personal life.
Well, who better to speak to us and teach us how to put this into practice in the New Year than Larry Levine, international and best-selling author of ‘Selling From The Heart.’
Larry knows and has 30 years experience in the world of the B2B technology space. Most importantly he knows what it takes to be a successful sales professional.
Take a look at this special interview on learning the whole premise of ‘Selling From The Heart’ …

The power of Christmas Cards in Business

The Power of Christmas Greetings In Your Business
Christmas is the biggest Holiday for card sending…

Christmas Greetings are sent each year to the tune of 1.5 billion cards, that’s more than any other holiday. Holiday cards account for 60 percent of card sales each year.

Aside from families and personal cards, businesses find it a great time to send out Annual Christmas Greetings saying Thank You for your business, to customers/clients, prospective clients and employees.
Here are a few other benefits of sending out Christmas Greetings…

You stay top of mind
Shows you appreciate your current clients
Business relationships are enhanced
Promotes Referrals and New customers
Retains your current customers

Some other tips to keep in mind when sending Christmas Greetings…
1. Be Sensitive to Traditions (seasons greetings or happy holidays)
2. Update Your List (organize throughout the year to save the last minute hassle)
3. Adding Personal Signatures
4. Mail to Home Address (for the biggest impact)
6. Use Titles (such as Mr. & Mrs. etc…)
7. Buy Quality Cards
8. Avoid the Mail Rush (mail on time for the Holiday)

Organizing your Holiday Card List & Preparing your Christmas Greetings or Holiday cards before Thanksgiving will help you to enjoy the Holiday Season and give you more time to celebrate.

If you find yourself to late for Christmas Greetings, don’t panic!

Simply send out a greetings that thank your customers/clients for their business for the past year and that you look forward to serving them in the New Year.

Also important, don’t forget these great reasons for sending greeting cards to enhance your business throughout the year, until the Holiday’s roll around again…

Generate 100 referrals a quarter from word of mouth advertising!

Generate 100 referrals a quarter from word of mouth advertising!

Word of mouth advertising is the best kind of advertising, and not because it’s free!

Word of mouth advertising is the best type of advertising because it comes from a customer who knows, likes and trusts you. Plus the fact that it’s free is a great perk!

Ask yourself this question; Do I want to generate 100 new referrals, every quarter, by word of mouth advertising?

Of course!

Would you also agree that there is no better way to learn than to hear it from a source that has and does generate 100 new referrals a quarter?

Below is a short interview where Danielle Ratliff will share her relationship marketing secrets, that has generated 100 referrals a quarter from word of mouth advertising.

Does your marketing have a heartbeat?

Ask yourself this question: Do my customers, clients or vendors feel warm and fuzzy when they hear from me?
 
Let’s face it in today’s cold high-tech world, the warm and fuzzies in marketing have been lost.
The personal touch has been replaced with tools such as;
Email,  Text and Social Media
Did you feel the chill?
Don’t get me wrong; these cold marketing tactics are definitely part of staying in touch.
However, marketing with heart is not only essential, but it’s also the number one most effective marketing strategy. Yet only the top 1-3% of salespeople in the world understand how to market with heart.
They know the power of a tangible touch such as a “Thank You” or “Birthday” card.
To me this low average of 1-3% is unbelievable! Think about the opportunity this low percentage gives you to be in that 1-3% of top salespeople in the world.
You see most salespeople think it’s all about their product and service. And while that’s undoubtedly important, they tend to forget that their product and service does not have a heartbeat, but their customers do.
Look, it’s human nature to want to be seen, to be recognized for who we are.
Simply put…
“People don’t leave a company because of the price of a product or service; they leave because they don’t feel appreciated.”
No one knows better, how to add a heartbeat to their marketing more than Tony Marciante, an award-winning Chef, and Restaurateur.
Join Tony in this short video as he shares his extreme passion for creative grassroots efforts on brand building and business promotion.
Have a paper and pen ready as he goes into detail on how he successfully uses relationship marketing to add a heartbeat to his marketing with the tangible touch.
