Salesmen Too Often Believe The World Revolves Around Their Need to Make the Sale
One complaint that buyers often make is that the salespeople who call upon them are so intense that they believe that the world revolves around them. It is rather apparent that these goal-oriented folks are so into making the sale that often they fail to understand the needs of the customer.Additionally they do not value the customer’s time, which is often wasted when the customer says NO, several times. Instead they go on and on and continue the sales process, often in an attempt to wear down the customer into getting to the sale.In fact most successful sales people I have met are quite arrogant, egotistical and must have been an “only child” or so drown out by multiple siblings that they had to work extra hard to get what they wanted. Or so

To be fair that does happen for some people but it's pretty unrealistic. There is a lot of groundwork to be done before such results are achieved, and it helps, of course, if you have some idea what you want to sell or what you want to promote.

You need a specific goal and direction.

I didn't have either and have subsequently spent a lot of time and money trying to find both. However, now like those elusive buses I've discovered just what I've been looking for and hopefully the tide is turning.

You Want to Market Your Business, But Do You Have The Time?
I am going to give you golden nuggets of time management wisdom that I personally use in my direct response copywriting business. To qualify that these actually work…I utilize all of these methods personally, and I “work” no more than 4 hours a day! Use them in your business today!1) The foundation is your desk. How clean and organized is your desk? Do you adopt the principle of “use it, file it, or throw it away” with every single item that comes across your desk? You either use information (paper, email, whatever), file information (only if you have TIME STAMPED when you are going to use it), or throw it away completely! Some items are just not important enough to waste valuable time on.2) Magazines, do you read them? Really, do yo

Have you ever noticed that you can wait for ages for a bus and then loads will come at the same time?

Well that's what's happened to me with my attempts at internet marketing.

Of course I'm not talking about buses but information.

Now don't get me wrong. There's a lot of information out there but the trouble is most of it is pretty disappointing. It's either rehashed versions of what's already gone before, get-rich-quick schemes, or not explicit enough, at least that's been my experience.

I am a visual learner and also because I am a bit of a technophobe (having still not even mastered the intricacies of a mobile phone) I require step-by-step lead-me-by-the-hand instructions to get from A to Z. Many suppliers of information just assume we are all computer geeks and know the letters in between.

I know I'm sad, my son's already told me, but I'm not alone.

Okay, you might ask, - if I'm so bad with the computer, what am I doing trying to be an Internet Marketer?

Well, I blame it on menopausal madness and a "Free" lunch. Let me explain..

Landing on my doorstep one day I discovered an invitation. It was to attend a free meal at a very posh hotel and as it happened to fall on my birthday I decided to go.

I thought I would be able to impress my friends when they asked me how I'd celebrated my 50th and had no intention of telling them that in order to enjoy my meal I had to listen to a thirty minute talk by some company who claimed they could possibly change my whole life by helping me become an online success and market like the pro's.

Actually the talk was very good, so good in fact that I went on to listen to a full day Internet seminar. This time it was held at an even grander hotel in London and it was packed with people from all over the country who had also been for free lunches elsewhere.

The company hosting the event were (and still are) an American internet company who specialise in helping small businesses and entrepreneurs. They sell website packages which include hosting and guaranteed merchant accounts.

They presented a very good case for themselves. As I didn't know anything at all about internet marketing by the end of the day I couldn't stop myself from buying in to the dream.

I returned home with six websites and absolutely no idea what to do with them.

However, I thought if I set up the websites, the customers would come. How naieve.

I had visions of working just a few hours a day at times that suited me and earning loads of money even whilst I was asleep.

You need a specific goal and direction.
