Introducing sales increase strategies that really work.

How many of you recognize the name John Schaub? Huh?

Most of you no doubt don’t, and more importantly are probably wondering; what the heck does that have to do with your sales increase strategies?

Simply put, John Schaub was an extremely successful Real Estate investor, out of the Florida area, that (not surprisingly) made a ton of money, successfully buying small detached single family homes.

(And most) re-selling to owner occupants (primarily) using “owner financing” and or renting some of them out as well.

He was able to quit his full time job within five years, and eventually (like a lot) of other successful Real Estate investors of that time, he eventually started publishing an extremely popular, paid monthly newsletter describing (both) what and how he did it. Continue reading

Successful selling techniques in retail equals success!

If you exposed your small business to five  proven selling techniques for retail success, how much more successful (given time) of course, do you think you would be?

Introducing Five Surefire Selling Techniques For Retail Success!

Your business can and should grow by at least 25% or more in the next six months or less, provided you will systematically embrace these five proven low cost, non techie retail selling techniques and strategies, that are about to be revealed to you.

Of course you’re going to have to inexpensively test and track your results in order to be maximize your long term growth.

Because remember, a staggering 95% of your would be major competitors do not (and will) not strategically test. They either don’t realize they should be or their simply to unmotivated to do it on any meaningful level.

Their indifference is your potential gain.

You Can Inexpensively Increase Your Retail Sales Without Throwing Away A Ton Of Money! ( Plus Build Some Serious Long Term Business Partnerships In The Process!

1.) Strategy # one: how many times have you seen a company discontinue a product by drastically reducing the price of the item or items? sound familiar?

Is it effective, to a point, but it’s not the best way to maximize long term profits from a discontinued product. For ex; what if you allowed one of your non competitive joint venture partners to use your (hopefully) higher priced discontinued product as part of a powerful lead generating free drawing.

Think about the long term potential benefits. You can only sell (at a dramaticaaly discounted price) only once. On the other hand, by allowing your joint venture partner to use the discounted product as part of a free drawing.

You can build a list of potential long term customers and clients for peanuts. Especially if they run the free drawing for 60-90 days.

You’ll both get the list of names,and be able to strategically follow up over time. Which means you may (over time) be able to continuously sell them other more expensive products and services for many years to come.

Plus, benefit from their testimonials and referrals as well.

2.) Strategy # two: This one (while) rather obvious, will  never occur to your major competitors. It’s a piggyback off # one. Instead of using this powerful low cost proven list building strategy with just one non competing small business owner and or service provider.

What if instead of just using one discontinued product in a free drawing to strategically grow your list, you used five. Meaning- you allowed five other small business joint venture partners to strategically use your discontinued items in an (in store) free drawing to grow both of lists.

Piggybacking A Successful Market Tested Strategy Is a Surefire Path To long  success!

3.) Strategy # three: This next powerful strategy also piggybacks off strategy # one.  Get your best JV partners to find at least five other small business owners and or service providers that can do this example same strategy with.

And you offer one of your best market tested “New customers only” special VIP discount coupons as one of the runner up free prizes valued at X.

Once again, you’ll be in the position to easily acquire new potentially long term customers and clients for pennies on the dollar.

4.) Strategy # four: This particular low cost high powered marketing strategy is often referred to as “situational marketing.”

And just like the name implies, you 9or your major competitors) strategically take advantage of under utilized selling opportunities. Here are just two potential untapped selling opportunities.

Note: Try to see how your business can best apply the overall concept to your specific business, product or service, as opposed to just seeing the specific strategy.

A.) Untapped situational marketing opportunity # one: Anytime your local movie theater sells tickets to movie goers with kids. You need to start strategically (inexpensively testing) various special VIP discount coupons (that targets kids) that you offer to the movie goers as a valuable free bonus in exchange for them upselling to one of your best market tested multiple movie pass packages.

B.) Here’s the other untapped “situational marketing” selling opportunity. Your average (struggling) list broker, has no idea how to effectively market products or services.

Here’s where you come in, (if you don’t) currently have a free problem solving information product that targets a certain segment of their customer base. Create one asap!

And allow them to give it away as a free upsell bonus valued at X, to their best customers that (either) spend a certain amount of money or that purchase some type of list within X amount of days of the list brokers initial contact with them.

And of course, they get to keep the powerful bonuses, even if they decide to ask the list broker for a refund.

5.) Strategy # five: Who hasn’t heard that joint venture and or affiliate marketing isn’t powerful? It’s inexpensive and (when done properly) it can be extremely profitable for a fraction of the traditional upfront out of pocket cost.

This particular type of joint venture is easy to do, it’s called (email list) swapping. And just as the name implies. You find another small business owner and or service provider (with) a similar sized email list and the two of you simply email your best market tested offer to each others list.

Try not to approach potential JV partners whose  email list is several times larger than yours. because more than likely, they’ll decline your offer.

Well, in a nutshell, there you have it. Five incredibly powerful, battlefield tested selling techniques for retail success.No matter what your particular niche is.

How can I increase sales without breaking the bank/

 (Introducing Three Simple Yet Incredibly Powerful Low Cost Ways For You To Increase Your Long Term Profits Without Breaking The Bank To Do So.)

Have you ever wondered out loud, how can I increase sales?

Do you believe that a first time visitor to your site would really take the time to type in certain keywords, (and or) certain keyword phrases into Google (or Yahoo.)

And search for something ultimately just to find it for no good reason ? Nope!

Do you believe that an offline casual shopper would simply get in their car (especially) during a recession and drive across town, and walk into your crowded store, just to browse? Probably not. Continue reading

Your increase market share strategies blueprint is a must!

As you recall from part one of the previous post; powerful “bounce back” offers should be part of your long range increase market share strategies. In part two of this series, you’re going to focus on three other powerful extensions to the previous strategies covered in part one.

Three More Powerful Ways To Profit From The Increase Market Share Strategies Blueprint…

First of all, previously you considered hiring commissioned only part time sales reps (like) college students or even better yet. Why not hire for one-three days a top notch sales trainer and have them professionally train your sales reps on how to (both) present and handle any potential objections to your offer.

Be sure you record the presentation, that way all of your future sales reps can benefit from the training.

1.) First let’s focus on your part time sales reps, especially if they’re college students trying to earn extra money during the summer months.  Here’s one way your marketing expertise could really help them sell more of your special VIP “bounce back” offer discount coupons.

Get some really cool additional free bonus coupons that you can have your sales reps offer to the prospects right on the spot (providing) they purchase one of the coupons right then and there.

But if for whatever reasons the prospect wants to wait (meaning) if they ask your sales rep to come back or contact they later. Then your reps are instructed to inform them that the bonuses are for their quality decision to go ahead right now!

That’s why you really want to A/B split test by giving half your sales reps free bonuses to offer to their prospects on the spot for purchasing today and giving your remaining sales reps your other free bonuses to offer their customers for purchasing today.

Which means (entrepreneur) you really need some really cool free bonuses to ethically bribe your prospects for buying now! Any serious local non competing cash starved struggling  small business owner and or service provider, can and should be more than willing to supply your sales reps with some really nice new customer discount coupons that your sales reps can offer (bribe) their potential customers to purchase now!

Remember, you’re only asking them to spend $10 or $12 dollars in cash today! So if you bribe them with $75-$150 dollars in free bonus coupons for purchasing today.

This type of guerrilla marketing strategy could make it incredibly hard for them to say clear no to  purchasing today! But even if they do, have your sales reps make it crystal that they forfeit the on the spot free bonus purchase bribe coupons valued at x!

2.) The other way (if you decide) to hire a professional sales trainer for 1-3 days and record their sales presentation for future use. You could allow every potential trainer that answers your sales ad, that you decide not to hire.

Allow them ( if they wish to) to give away (both) your free six month VIP discount coupon “bounce back” offer 9and cool free bonuses) an X dollar value. And they can offer it as some type of free bonus valued at X for their customers and or prospects doing whatever it is they need them to do.

Your Bounce Back offers Can Be Used To Strategically Grow Your Business For Peanuts!

3.) And finally, regarding your special VIP discount coupon “bounce back” offer(s) . You should have no problem finding several local non competing struggling cash starved small business owners and or service providers, who  really need help expertly marketing and growing their  business for pennies on the dollar.

One strategy you could inexpensively test is to allow other non competing small business owners, to use your free special VIP “bounce back” discount coupons (and really cool) free bonuses and let them use their slowest days to make more money!

For ex: take their slowest day (or slowest season) and every customer than spends over X amount of dollars, (inexpensively price test) they can reach into a VIP customers grab bag (on your slowest days) only!

And they can (instantly) win some really cool prizes. These really cool instant prizes could potentially be worth some serious long range positive word of mouth marketing buzz that might lasts for months!

There it is, three more powerful  reasons your special VIP “bounce back” offer discount coupons need to be an integral part of your increase market share strategies blueprint. No matter what your particular niche is. Don’t you agree?

How much does television advertising really cost your business?

 What Your Major Competitors Don’t Know About Display Advertising Is Costing Them A Fortune…

This concept covers an all too real and (oh so ) deadly form of beginning entrepreneurial tunnel vision.

And in order to  display just how potentially costly this type of marketing mistake can be.

You are about to see it demonstrated by a true to life incredibly graphic example.

Which will hopefully adequately demonstrate,

Have you noticed a new trend that (unfortunately) far too many of the big time Hotel & Casino chains are currently using in order to get mass advertising exposure?

The next time you watch a major prime time sporting event, such as championship boxing on one of the paid premium channels such as HBO or Showtime.

You will get a ring side seat at a six figure ad campaign waste jamboree. Someone in the waste department, (oops) that is to say the advertising/marketing department (who is also) probably soon to be out of a job.

Convinced someone (or they themselves) have been convinced by someone that paying a boxer (an incredible) $250,000.00 dollars to stencil one of the major casinos name on their back is somehow a good investment!Say what?

Un-B-leeve-able! Anyway, their obvious rational here is that their name/logo will only be seen by a mere 3-20 million pay per view customers. Continue reading
