Most network marketers spend countless hours and money pursuing a business that takes more than it gives back, and after enough frustration they eventually quit. Rather than continue doing what doesn’t work, try doing something that does work like attraction marketing.

Instead of wasting your time and money pursuing dead end leads that have little or no interest in your business. Try applying attraction-marketing techniques to attract highly qualified prospects to your business.

Now, doesn’t that seem better than chasing prospects? Don’t you think that would be a much better way of building your network? The days of using worn out old school methods like chasing your friend’s and family to join your business are gone forever.

You can quickly build a network of people that want to succeed as much as you do by using attraction-marketing principals. With attraction marketing there is no pressure for the prospect to join or buy anything.  Read more...

If you can’t find a qualified person to help, don’t sit on your hands and mope, DO IT YOURSELF! 

There are all kinds of seminars, workshops, sales training books as well as other mediums to learn about sales. Any Sales Manager worth his salt gives his salespeople articles and sales training books to read.   

The first way sales training helps is to teach you how to be credible.  Does your body language give you away?  Is it telling your propect that you don’t believe a word of what you are saying?  You need to be honest with your prospect.  Let’s face it.  Sell a crooked deal and you’ll spend more time backpedalling and doing customer service than you’ll spend actually selling.  Sell it straight and clean the first time.

Motivation is the key to improved performance in any field. A Basketball or Football coach knows this so does a sales manager. From the 50s to the 70s the biggest motivation sales managers offered was, “perform or else”…Sales managers later realized that bonuses, perks, paid vacations, and gifts work as good motivators and they used the phrase “perform or else” sparingly and only in extreme situations. But even the best of monetary incentives fail to motivate sales professionals at times. Throwing money at a motivational issue cannot solve all the motivational problems.

It is the responsibility of the sales managers to keep their sales team motivated all the time. The situation can get tricky when the sales manager finds it tough to keep himself motivated. Sales professionals can lack motivation due to a number of reasons including tough market conditions such as a recessive economy. Nearly seventy percent of the sales managers have no experience of steering the sales force in a recessive economy. How can they lead the sales team in such a situation? It would be like the blind leading the blind. It is then they should consider motivational sales training by a professional trainer.  Read more...

Retailers in Pakistan encounter many problems as they attempt to upgrade or introduce software systems. One major obstacle is the effort required, particularly for staff training and in developing new procedures, as the organization prepares to switch over from manually driven ways of work to new system driven procedures. Another is the lack of awareness of the various options that retailers should demand from their software vendor.

Retail is an intimate, customer focused business and the technology used should reflect that.

All too often we see Retail Technology, underestimated in terms of complexity and pay offs, left to generic software houses or accounting firms to develop and implement. This approach can lead to major drawbacks as neither of these business areas have core domain knowledge of retailing and apply standard accounting procedures and process to retail.

Simply put, a press release is a unique story written in a journalistic style. It is 500 or more words and usually not more than one page in length. It includes quotes from you, the business owner, as well as quotes from employees and testimonials from customers and/or clients. It is geared towards the publication’s audience. In other words, when writing your press release think like an editor:

• What is in it for our readers…

• What will sell more ad spaces…

• What will sell more subscriptions…

• Who, What, When, Where, Why…

You cannot write a press release simply to announce a new product line, give statistics on a product that is eco-friendly, or try to drum up business for a product that could use a boost in sales, you need to think about the readers, what’s in it for them? Why should they read what you have to say?  Read more...

This competition has given rise to the concept of marketing and advertising. Marketing is a crucial aspect of the sales figures of almost any commercial activity. How the product is presented to the prospect is considered as important as the product itself. But what most advertising businesses seem to overlook, is the most important 9 word sentence in advertising. In the words of Rosser Reeves “A gifted product is mightier than a gifted pen.”  Read more...
