How To Sell Without Selling

 

MARKETING HAS CHANGED. If you’re still trying to sell to customers using old, worn-out hard close techniques that worked decades ago, you will soon be as extinct as the dinosaurs. You can’t ‘trick’ a customer into a sale. And no matter what you’ve heard from some online marketers and sales trainers, there is no need for mind control techniques. Good marketing is not manipulation. You’ll sell more by serving your customers and clients than you ever will by taking advantage of them.

If you’re like me, and many of the clients I’ve worked with over the years, those old sales techniques made you uncomfortable anyway. You got into business to bring value to others. And that’s why you’re going to love the methods I’ll be sharing throughout this book.

These methods allow you to guide, encourage, and share value with your customers before they ever spend a single penny with you. Subscribers regularly email me and tell me how much they appreciate the value that I’ve shared with them, even if they haven’t purchased yet. This same principle applies with blogs, podcasts, videos, and social media. You don’t have to wait for someone to become a customer before adding value to their life.

Today’s customers are better informed than ever before. They research products. They compare you to the competition. They’re even researching the new breakthroughs occurring in your field. If you’re following old sales techniques based on tricking people into buying your products or services, then a highly educated customer is a negative to you. But if you’re focused on serving your customers, this will be a game changer for you.

10 Curses That Block The Blessing

  Even though God had delivered Larry completely from drug addiction, he had not been delivered from the uncontrollable outbursts of anger that had plagued his life. Larry had tried everything he knew, but he could do nothing to put these terrible moments of rage behind him. These outbursts would come upon him unexpectedly, and when they did, he said and did terrible things to his wife and even terrified his children. After violent episodes, he would apologize in tears and beg his wife to forgive him. Though he would promise to never lose his temper again, sooner or later his control would slip. During one extreme outburst he understood that he had become just like the generations before him, angry and violent. Though he had vowed never to do those things, he had become the very thing that he most hated. In a moment of revelation he knew that he was confronting a generational pattern, acting out his anger just as generations of his family had done before him. He went to the Bible a...

Spirit Of Leadership

  There are many who confuse the position of leadership with the disposition of true leadership. No matter what position one may be given, status in an organization does not automatically create leadership. Genuine leadership is one’s internal disposition, which relates to a sense of purpose, self-worth, and self-concept. Click Here To Download The Book

20 Rules Of Closing A Deal

This is a policy that is frequently violated and missed, even by seasoned professionals. You will hardly ever close someone while standing up. The saying goes, “present on your feet, close the terms from your seat.” In addition to making sure you are seated when you close, keep your buyer seated as well. Even if your prospect stands up, remain seated suggesting that you are not done. Do not overreact, stay seated, stay calm and enforce your confidence in your ability to come to agreement. Going from a seating position to standing up suggests that something has changed and allows your prospect to exit and remove themselves from the close. Click Here To Download The Book

Power, Politics And Death

  Before I could reply, there was a command: “Come straight to the Residence.” Even though Colonel Mustapha Dennis Onoyiveta, aide de camp (ADC) to President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, and I were friends and often took liberties with each other, the tone with which he spoke on that night of May 5, 2010, was rather unusual. Curiously, I had just left the same Residence (the official home of the president) where I was to keep an appointment with the First Lady, who, as soon as I arrived, was called upstairs. By the time Mustapha’s call came, I was at my apartment to dismiss the PHCN official I had earlier invited to rectify an electrical fault.  While I felt a bit irritated by the commanding tone in his voice, I nonetheless heeded the colonel’s instruction and returned back to the Residence.

The Smart Money Woman

Most people don't know where the money they earn goes. What percentage of your income goes to food? Transportation? Clothes? Just like in any successful business where you track the revenue and costs periodically, it is also important to track the expenses in our personal lives.  Nigerian women have to become the CFOs of their financial lives and learn to take control of the income they earn now, instead of waiting for their incomes to increase in the future before they learn to manage money. Some women have no idea how much their lifestyle costs. She may not spend recklessly, but she subconsciously develops a habit of spending—good or bad.  If you don't treat the money you earn with respect, it will leave you with no respect. We have to learn to spend with intention by allocating oure resources to reflect the lifestyle we want and are able to sustainably afford. Click Here To Download The Book

The Last Juror

After decades of patient mismanagement and loving neglect, The Ford County Times went bankrupt in 1970. The owner and publisher, Miss Emma Caudle, was ninety-three years old and strapped to a bed in a nursing home in Tupelo. The editor, her son Wilson Caudle, was in his seventies and had a plate in his head from the First War.

Sales Don't Just Happen

Sales don’t just happen. Orders happen, of course. Someone calls us up and says, “Do you sell this stuff I’m looking for? Oh, you do? Great. Can I get some?” We take down the details. We fill the order.  But that’s not selling. That’s taking orders. In order for a sale to happen, we have to do something deliberate and impossible to ignore—something that all but forces the other person to respond to us. The people who then do respond to us are, by definition, our prospects; they’re the ones on which we should focus our attention. Click Here To Download The Book

Before Courtship

The desire of every young person is to find the missing bone! They want a sincere and peaceful home. They pray for it. They work for it. However, most young couple never had the experience because they missed the most important foundational aspects of the relationship- friendship. I said to a group of young people during a programme to court and marry their friends. They were confused. How can I marry my friend? Marrying my friend may make us too familiar with each other now. What will people say then? Then I asked, would you rather marry a stranger or your enemy? No one has ever marry a total stranger in the Bible. They were related one way or the other. In the same vein, friendship will “relate” you before the final decision is made. This friendship may not take too many years. It may be brief. But during this period, you relate well with each other. You relate freely. you laughed together without any reservation. You correct and affirm each other without any string attached. Your fr...
