My #1 Secret to Selling, the one which allowed me to build my first multi-million dollar business is this: I developed the right sales SKILLS.

This is so important that I am going to spell it out for you. Literally!

M-A-P-S

The M in MAPS represents Money or your Marketing Budget.   It is the lack of money or no marketing budget that cause businesses to fail.

• You must promote and actively market yourself using multiple media formats.  These may include in person, over the phone, web based (online), or offline methods such as print (newspaper, magazine, trade paper), radio or television.
• As your business grows so will your marketing budget.
• Word of mouth alone will not build your business.

The A represents Action.  It is a lack of correct action or spending too much time on the wrong activities that cause people fail in business.

• You must make a commitment to consistent effective action.
• Track your time and your results
• Devote time to training and time to action

The P represents the People or Prospects. These are are your potential customers.  If you do not have a plan and a system to attract an ongoing stream of fresh prospects, guess what?  You will fail in your business!

• You need to target the group of people who are most likely interested in your business and speak to them (by phone, email, advertisements, etc.) using their language and emotional triggers.
• Teach your customers to return to you and refer others to you.
• Learn to identify the most qualified prospects so that you only spend your valuable time with them.

Now…(drumroll)… the S represents Skills.  Listen closely. Under-developed sales skills is the number one reason that people fail to generate income and end up going out of business!

• Learning sales skills are like learning any skill — you must receive professional training and practice what you learn on a consistent basis.
• Do not make the mistake of thinking that sales skills means talking a lot!
• Active listening is one of the most important sales skills.  This skill alone can lead to developing a loyal customers base who returns, refers, and recognizes your value.
• Secrets To Selling is the only comprehensive online sales training course that gives you proven scripts for phone, email, and direct mail sales and customer follow up.

Take Effective Action Now!

If you are a small business entrepreneur struggling to market your business online, you are likely focusing most of your attention on creating a website or blog, getting traffic, increasing your search engine rankings, and building a network of fans and followers using social media.

Here’s the good news.  Once you develop your sales skills and have what FEELS like the natural ability to influence people, then all of those marketing and social media activities will start resulting in sales!

Instead of just followers, you will have lifetime customers who purchase over and over again from you.

Which would you rather have?  Fans and followers?  Or loyal customers who repeatedly buy from you and refer new customers to you?
