FOREWORD
Much has been written about sales and marketing, yet the basics will always remain the same. I am going to cover 9 steps which anyone in business, whether a professional individual, or company can apply. However, before we begin, there are two very basic fundamental truths that have to be mentioned and understood.
Current and old clients are easier to sell your products and services to, than new clients.
There are various statistics and they all vary. Bottom line is that people, who have already dealt with you and trust you, are far easier to sell to that those that do not know you. It's always a good idea to have your current and old clients spread the word for you. Nothing beats word of mouth advertising through personal recommendations.
It’s better to market to 40 well-identified clients (old, present, and referrals) with the right methods, regularly, than 1000 clients only once.
If you look at some statistics later on in this book you will see that the most successful sales people are those that did their research and persevered with their target group. Spamming and big mail shots will get you a 1% return if you are lucky, and most likely annoy the recipient. But well focused marketing, repeatedly to a targeted potential client will give you a better result. The problem is that most sales people give up at the first negative response. Don't! Target your group and be persistent. Think about it, it's actually less effort and easy to do a huge mail shot through your auto-responder software - that's why most sales people do it. But to consistently monitor a select group of potential clients and constantly follow up with them, takes effort... but it pays in the end!
There is a lot of practical information in this book, and much to take in. Hence before you begin reading I would like to summarise everything for you within one page. In fact when speaking at conferences, I call this my '3 Minute MBA.' Once you understand this, then you understand sales.
It is a humorous anecdote/story, and it may appear a bit sexist to some people. However, it is very true and very pertinent to what selling and marketing is about. Put aside any personal issues and just enjoy the story for what it is... then you don't even have to read the rest of the book. You will understand it all!
Imagine you are at a corporate event and you see a really attractive lady at the function. You quickly go up to one of your colleagues and tell
