Added for You - High-Tech Selling: Is It Really That Difficult?
I know, I know. It doesn’t sound too nice. But lets face it, in business, if customers don’t pick your business, they’ve picked somebody else. I want to help you so that the customer picks YOUR business over somebody else’s. This is basically for e-commerce, so for traditional business, emails, e-zines, etc., might not apply but you might still be able to implement the idea behind the statement.* Give people a free subscription to your e-zine. Almost everyone is publishing a e-zine nowadays so it's important to give something extra with the free subscription. You could offer a free gift or advertising when peopl

The United States Government must protect the American People and it is hiring people for Airport Security and Department of Homeland Security like never before. What are they looking for? Well they are looking for some understanding of security and if you have a criminal justice degree or even a two-year college degree with some law classes, criminal justice classes or security classes you may be surprised how easy it is to get hired.Many people do not realize that the FBI is even hiring people who have smoked pot and therefore you maybe surprised that even with a few problems in your younger years that this will b
Selling anything that is not a known commodity can be difficult. However, most of the difficulty is created by salespeople themselves. Here are some of the reasons why high-tech Sales seems so difficult - and how the typical selling process just reinforces that myth.
1. Most salespeople are unable to describe their product or service clearly and briefly enough.
Most people take 20 to 30 seconds to decide whether they want what the salesperson is selling. Prospects get frustrated and annoyed at the salesperson who doesn't communicate with immediate clarity.
An effective prospecting offer should ideally be about 45 words. It takes many top salespeople about 2 hours to design an effective and concise prospecting offer. Most salespeople don't even know where to start.
2. Pressing prospects for an appointment before they are ready to buy greatly reduces the probability of ever getting the sale.
Most salespeople believe that they should convince any prospect that has an apparent need for their products and services to buy. However, most prospects are not ready to buy the first time that the salesperson calls. Driven by the mistaken belief that they should be able to convince the prospect, the salesperson presses for an appointment.

As a business coach I work with a wide variety of people. My clients come from diverse backgrounds, have a multitude of talents, operate in a broad range of business models, and talk about their successes very differently. It is from these distinctions that powerful strategies are born.The reasons that professionals choose to work with a business coach stem from an assorted array of issues that include: a lack of happiness at work, a frustration in trying to motivate others, and a struggle to attract new business. While individual and organizational challenges come in many shapes and sizes, the key to solving them o

If you don't really know the answer to that question, you may be destined to waste a great deal of money over the next few years. Most restaurant operators spend large amounts of money each year on both advertising and marketing and often receive little or no measurable increase in profits. If you don't want to join the ranks of restaurants that seem to be making contributions to their local newspapers and radio stations rather than investing in building sales and profits, it would be good to understand the difference between advertising and marketing, and use them both to your best advantage.An

Ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels when it comes to marketing your business? If you’re not getting the results you want with your current marketing efforts, it may be time to consider a new opportunity – a Promotion Opportunity!A promotion opportunity can be found by identifying ways of reaching your target audience, then looking for the right "opportunity" to reach them. To get started, you will want to think about what types of marketing activities are realistic for you. If you’re a small business, then chances are that you won’t be running a series of network television ads. But what other opportunities e

How come you're seeing certain ads over-and-over again?Why are they working. and why do some display ads deserve to be nothing more than bird cage lining.Since we've been discussing sales copy "voices" lately, I'll let you in on a little secret about display ad voices. The biggest problem with display ad "voices" is that, for the most part -- there really aren't any.Most display ads read more like checklists that spit out facts, rather than engaging and conversational "recommendations", which is how they should read.I hope you caught what I just said because therein lies the key to nailin
The best route to ultimate success is to call each prospect every 3 to 4 weeks until they are ready to specify or buy your type of product or service - limiting each prospecting call to a maximum of 45 seconds.
3. Premature selling efforts leave a lasting negative impression, and dramatically reduce the odds of ever doing business with that prospect.
'Forced' appointments and communications result in closed sales less than 14 percent of the time. When feeling pressured, prospects who don't commit to doing business on the first visit are even less likely to ever buy- then, the probability of ever getting the sale drops to 5 percent.
4. Most high-tech salespeople first approach a prospective customer at the end-user level in the organizations that they sell to.
Most line managers don't have the authority to buy - they are 'influencers' who recommend. They usually don't have access to the funds, either.
The top 1% of the salespeople we studied usually initiate their sales process at the Vice President level. That requires a specifically tailored approach.
5. High-Tech salespeople are fascinated with the features and benefits of their products and services.
Most prospects only want to know what your products and services can do for them. If they determine that what you have is what they want, they will want to know ho
