There is a problem of impatience, but this too can be harnessed to work in the salesperson's favor.

We have established that we're all salespeople in one way or another.

So whether we're attempting to move up from forklift driver to warehouse manager, waitress to hostess, salesman to sales manager or from mail order dealer to president of the largest sales organization in the world, it's vitally important that we continue learning.

Getting up out of bed in the morning; doing what has to be done in order to sell more units of your product; keeping records, updating your materials; planning the direction of further sales efforts; and all the while increasing your own knowledge – all this very definitely requires a great deal

This explains why most businesses fail.

No matter what product or service or business you have, if you can’t market it, you’ll fail.

Salesmanship is not an easy skill to acquire.

To improve your salesmanship skill, there are a few qualities you must improve on.

Here are some secrets of super salesmanship to help you.

To excel in any selling situation, you must have confidence, and confidence comes, first and foremost, from knowledge.

You have to know and understand yourself and your goals. You have to recognize and accept your weaknesses as well as your special talents.

The key to understanding your customers is to first understand yourself.

If you don’t know yourself, you’ll not be able to know others and will not be able to sell anything to them.

It is a no brainer!

This requires a kind of personal honesty that not everyone is capable of exercising.

Therefore not everybody can be a super salesman or woman!

In addition to knowing yourself, you must continue learning about people.

People change all the time.

The more they change the more you must revise your knowledge about them.

Just as with yourself, you must be insightful, perspective and able to see not only the trees but also the forest.

In any sales effort, you must accept other people as they are, not as you would like for them to be.

One of the most common faults of sales people is impatience when the prospective customer is slow to understand or make a decision.

The successful salesperson handles these situations the same as he would if he were asking a girl for a date, or even applying for a new job.

Learning your product, making a clear presentation to qualified prospects, and closing more sales will take a lot less time once you know your own capabilities and failings, and understand and care about the prospects you are calling upon.

Our society is predicated upon selling, and all of us are selling something all the time.

We move up or stand still in direct relation to our sales efforts.

Everyone is included, whether we're attempting to be a friend to a co-worker, a neighbor, or selling multi-million dollar real estate projects.

Accepting these facts will enable you to understand that there is no such thing as a born salesman.

Indeed, in selling, we all begin at the same starting line, and we all have the same finish line as the goal - a successful sale.

Most assuredly, anyone can sell anything to anybody. As a qualification to this statement, let us say that some things are easier to sell than others, and some people work harder at selling than others.

But regardless of what you're selling, or even how you're attempting to sell it, the odds are in your favor.

If you make your presentation to enough people, you'll find a buyer.

The problem with most people seems to be in making contact - getting their sales presentation seen by, read by, or heard by enough people.

But this really shouldn't be a problem, as we'll explain later.

But then the rewards can be beyond your wildest dreams, for make no mistake about it, the selling profession is the highest paid occupation in the world!

Selling is challenging. It demands the utmost of your creativity and innovative thinking.

The more success you want, and the more dedicated you are to achieving your goals, the more you'll sell.

Hundreds of people the world over become millionaires each month through selling.

Many of them were flat broke and unable to find a "regular" job when they began their selling careers. Yet they've done it, and you can do it too!

Remember, it's the surest way to all the wealth you could ever want.

You get paid according to your own efforts, skill, and knowledge of people. If you're ready to become rich, then think seriously about selling a product or service (prefer ably something exclusively yours) - something that you "pull out of your brain;" something that you write, manufacture or produce for the benefit of other people.

But failing this, the want ads are full of opportunities for ambitious sales people.

You can start there, study, learn from experience, and watch for the chance that will allow you to move ahead by leaps and bounds.

Here are some secrets of super salesmanship that will definitely improve your gross sales, and quite naturally, your gross income.

I like to call them the Super Salesmanship Secrets Of Success (3SOS).

Look them over; give some thought to each of them and adapt those that can improve your selling efforts.

1. If the product you're selling is something your prospect can hold in his hands, get it into his hands as quickly as possible.

In other words, get the prospect "into the act." Let him feel it, weigh it, admire it.

2. Don't stand or sit alongside your prospect. Instead, face him while you're pointing out the important advantages of your product.

This will enable you to watch his facial expressions and determine whether and when you should go for the close.

In handling sales literature, hold it by the top of the page, at the proper angle, so that your prospect can read it as you're highlighting the important points.

Regarding your sales literature, don't release your hold on it, because you want to control the specific parts you want the prospect to read.

In other words, you want the prospect to read or see only the parts of the sales material you're telling him about at a given time.

3. With prospects who won't talk with you: when you can get no feedback to your sales presentation, you must dramatize your presentation to get him involved.

Stop and ask questions such as, "Now, don't you agree that this product can help you or would be of benefit to you?"

After you've asked a question such as this, stop talking and wait for the prospect to answer.

It's a proven fact that following such a question, the one who talks first will lose, so don't say anything until after the prospect has given you some kind of answer. Wait him o
