As we are challenged on a daily basis to . . .
Sell More
Get More Per Sale
Spend Less on Getting Sales
We need to investigate all possible avenues for sales.
A couple of things to consider . . .
Nationally, across all product groups, it takes on average 7 sales calls to actually make a sale
All sales are a percentage of the population
If you can not increase the % sales in a population, you need to increase the size of the population you are attempting to sell
A large portion of sales is timing and location. You must stay in front of people. Location, with the internet, is less about geography and more about simply being seen multiple times
How do you increaseyour exposure?
On-Line Auctions On-Line Auctions
On-Line Classified Ads On-Line Classified Ads
On-Line Store Fronts On-Line Store Fronts
A word of caution:
Using on-line sales techniques can/and will take as much time as a traditional storefront does.
However, if you do not manage your on-line exposure, the amount of damage you can do to your budget and good reputation will be exponentially greater than is realized in a traditional storefront.
Thank you.
