What is a Sale
What is a sale? A Sale in reality is selling yourself or your talents. This is great news. Although there are many things that make sales better and make you a better salesperson I find the 4 main ingredients to great sales are as follows:S Smile- no they cant see you but believe me it makes a difference. I spent alot of time in door to door solicitations and telemarketing and I can tell you this , If you are smiling on the outside Yur whole outlook will be better. With a better outlook you will not give up because of the NOs because you know there is a yes around the corner.A Ask- yourself questions pertaining to the product or service for exampleWhat will it do for me? Is the cost reasonable? What would make this product more useful? The more you ask yourself the better you will know your product and how to market it.
It is often smart as well to use a question in the subject as it will get your ads read. Instead of 'The Safelist with the most Freebies' you might use 'How generous is your Safelist?' Arouse their curiosity.L Listen- Again you cant literally hear them but ask for opinions from people who have used the product or if it is brand new check around, look at similar Products, forums, testimonials and anywhere else you can get Ideas as to what people want then LISTEN to them and use this to your advantage. E Enthusiasm- There is nothing worse than seeing and ad that says Im so Excited or Im jumping for joy when the image in your head is of them on their butt at the computer. Not good. You should show you are pleased and enthused over a product or service but in more subtle ways.
Read these 2 little examples and see if you can see the difference 1.Im So Excited! Just Launched We Will Send your ad to to millions of opt in subscribers! 2.Wow!! This will Knock your socks off, and while you pick them up off the floor we will send your ads to millions. Which did you enjoy reading more #2? Thought So. I showed just as much excitement in the second one without making it sound like I am off my chair jumping for joy. I also turned my excitement to their benefit notice that? Subtle is the key.Of course there is no magic wand to make you get more sales and we all have times where it is very slow but keep your chin up and try to employ these principals whenever possible and you Should see better results and you will be much calmer and happier going through the slow times. Remember SALE smile,ask,listen,enthusiasm..
Kids' Halloween Costumes
Kids love dressing up and when better than Halloween. It's the time for fun and creativity and parents, love to find the perfect costume for their kids. Halloween comes once every year and parents know that children grow up fast. So, they go all out to find the best costume. Children love running around the neighborhood trick or treating in their Dracula or vampire outfits.
Dressing up and pretending to be someone else adds that something extra to their joy.
While many kids' costumes are available in stores, making them at home can be fun. Imagination and expression helps a child to develop a healthy personality. Designing and choosing a costume provides a chance for the whole family to get creative together. Hero and fantasy themes are great choices for little ones. Dressed as furry creatures, younger children really look cute, and animal costumes and flower costumes are perennial favorites.

Valentine's Day ? Where Did THAT Come From?
Just as soon as the stores put away their Christmas merchandise, out comes the Valentine's Day items ? even though Valentine's is still more than six weeks away.I don't know why, but it always takes me by surprise to see Valentine's Day merchandise so soon after Christmas.I've always wondered where Valentine's Day came from, and under those circumstances, a person could be forgiven for thinking it was invented to create more business when Christmas is over.But no, after a little research, I discovered that Valentine's is not a holiday that was "invented" by greeting card companies to sell more greeting cards or by candy companies to sell more candy or by florists to sell more roses.Valentine's Day actually started more than 1,500 years ago.According to legend, Valentine was a priest who defied the orders of the Roman emperor Claudius and continued to perform marriages. It seems that Claudius realized no young men wanted to join his army because they didn't want to leave their wives and...

Assumptions ? The Hidden Sales Killer
Assumptions can kill a sale. In my sales training workshops, I frequently discuss the importance of not making assumptions about a person before, during, or after the sales process. Participants frequently nod and tell me that they NEVER make assumptions. One person (Doug Maquire, www.MaquireMarketing.com) sent me this story of a situation that occurred in a department store he worked in many years ago. "I was the 'young kid' who had signed on to take the 9 month Management Training course for a department store chain.
Sales people were generally assigned specific areas to cover within the store but being a 'management trainee' I had to learn all departments." One day, a rough looking middle aged fellow entered the store. He was dressed in well-worn workpants, work boots, and a soiled red and black plaid shirt just like you'd expect a lumberjack to wear. No one approached him (I guess he didn't look like a good sales prospect)...
