Fear ,uncertainty and doubt are and always have been the greatest enemies of success and happiness. The tow greatest obstacles on your road to success are:

1. Fear of failure ,or loss.

top salespeople believe in their companies. They believe in their products and services and they believe in their customers. Above all, they believe in themselves and their ability to succeed . There is a direct relationship between your level of belief in yourself and in the value of your product or service, and your ability to convince other people that it is good for them. Selling has often been called a transfer of enthusiasm The more enthusiastic and convinced you are about what you are selling, the more contagious this enthusiasm will be and the more your customer will sense it and act on it. Since you become what you think about most of the time, you should continue repeating the words, "I love my work! I love my work! I love my work! over and over.

Action Exercise: If you want to feel enthusiastic, act enthusiastic! Imagine that you were totally committed and excited about the excellent products and services you sell. How would you behave in every customer interaction, all day long?

Put your whole heart into your sales work. Imagine that you were being videotaped and that this video was going to be shown nationwide as a shining example of an outstanding salesperson in action. How would you treat every customer or prospect? Whatever your answer, practice that behavior every hour of every day.

This principle is so simple that it is often overlooked. reviewing every detail, before every sales meeting. The very best salespeople are those who review their presentations and study the details of their products and their sales materials repeatedly prior to every new sales contact.

The Customer’s Situation:The salesperson with the best knowledge of the customer’s real situation will be

the one most likely to make the sale The only way of assuring that your questions are clear and penetrating is by writing them out, word for word, in advance. Some of the most successful salespeople who have ever lived have been “question experts

Sales Professionals Plan their questions in Advance:There is a direct relationship between the quality of the problem focused

questions that you ask a customer and the likelihood of a sale taking place

Notes: The power is on the side of the salesperson with the best notes. Don’t trust to memory. take a few minutes to review the customer’s file, the customer’s situation, and your own notes on what has taken place in the past. You’ll be amazed at how impressive you sound when you go into a sales interview having just reviewed the customer’s file a few minutes before

Prior to Closing a Sale: prior to their presentations, and prior to closing. They think everything through in advance. And they leave nothing to chance. Remember, it’s the details that make the difference.

he highest paid people in America today work an average of 59 hours per week. They read an average of 2-3 hours per day. They belong to industry associations and organizations that encourage the individual to dedicate themselves to lifelong learning with current information and ideas on their fields

The Importance of Lifelong Learning: the minimum requirement for success in your field. Since information and knowledge in every field is doubling every 2-3 years, this means that your knowledge has to double every 2-3 years as well, just for you to stay even.

Expand Your Mind: Many people think that reading an occasional book and keeping current with the magazines and newsletters in their field is the equivalent of adding to their education. But this is not the case. It is same as checking the stock market reports each day to find out the sales prices of various stocks and securities. Maintenance learning is absolutely essential. It is very similar to light physical exercise that keeps you at a particular level of fitness but does not increase your level of fitness or improve your conditioning in any way.

Dedicate Yourself to Continuous Learning

Page 12: 21 great ways to sell more, faster

Growth Learning:

this is the kind of learning that adds knowledge and skills to your repertoire that you did not have before. For example, if you decide to learn to speak Spanish so that you can expand your business opportunities into the Hispanic market, every word.

Shock Learning:

This is where something happens that contradicts or reverses a piece of knowledge or understanding that you already have. Shock learning can be extremely valuable if you act upon it.

Dedicate Yourself to Continuous Education:

nowledge is the primary source of value in our world today and your ability to expand your mind and devote yourself to lifelong learning is the key to breaking any success barriers that may be in front of you

Building and maintaining long-term selling relationships is the key behavior and skill of the top ten percent of the money earners in sales, in every field, selling every product and service.

If you could take everything we know about communications, put it all in a large pot, boil it and distill it down into its critical essence, it is about the importance of relationships in successful selling

The Reason for Success: Most of your success in life will depend on your ability to get along well with other people, and on the quality of your relationship

Sell to Lots of People: Anyone can sell to a few people, some of the time. But only the very best human relations experts can sell to a wide variety of people, and sell to them repeatedly. the only way that you can make the kind of big money that you are capable of is by selling more easily, and more often, to the prospects you talk to, and by having those prospects open doors to others through testimonials and referrals. All top salespeople build and maintain high quality business relationships with their customers and sell to them repeatedly year after year.

Build LongTerm Relationships

Page 17: 21 great ways to sell more, faster

Decide Emotionally, Justify Logically:We are all sensitive to the quality of our relationships with other people. We are primarily emotional and we make most of our decisions on the basis of how we feel inside. We may carefully consider all of the logical and practical reasons why or why not with regard to buying a product or service, but in the final analysis we tend to go with our gut feeling. We listen to our inner voices. We obey the dictates of our hearts. We buy on the basis of how we feel about the relationship that we have with the other person. Where there is no relationship, there is no sale.

Focus on the Key Variable:Everything that you ever learned of value in the profession of selling, regarding your product or service, or personality, is only helpful to the degree to which it contributes to the building of high quality relationships with customers

Page 25: 21 great ways to sell more, faster

Apply the 80/20 rule to every thing

Page 26: 21 great ways to sell more, faster

Professional selling has three stages, which have been the same through out history: prospect, present, and follow up . These constitute the “sales funnel.If your sales and income are down, it is because you are not prospecting enough, presenting enough, or following up and closing enough the way to increase your sales is usually to increase the quality or quantity of your activities in one or more of these areas.

Imagine Your Funnel:magine the basic sales model as a funnel. At the top of the funnel, you put in prospects. You have to call on a certain number of people, or suspects,This number varies depending on the market, your product or service, your individual skills in prospecting, advertising, and many other factors.

Presenting:There is a direct ratio between the number of people you call on initially and the number of people who will agree to meet with you.

Follow Up and Close:you have to follow up and close. Say you have to follow up with two prospects to get one sale. This means you have to put 20 prospects in the top of the funnel to get one sale out of the bottom of the funnel, a ratio of 20 to 1. The rule therefore is “Keep your funnel full.”

Keep your sales funnel full

Page 27: 21 great ways to sell more, faster

Prospecting Power: he definition of a good prospect is someone who can and will buy and pay within a reasonable period of time. Do not waste your precious selling time with nice people who do not have the authority, money, or ability to buy from you. Think continually about your personal income, and always be sure that the person you are talking to can contribute to that income soon enough to justify the time you are investing in him or her.
