Jump into the Bandwagon of Successful Selling Strategies

Note: Successful Selling Strategies seminar is now on 17 July 2014 Thursday 9 am to 12.30 pm.  Details at here.
Everyone from Facebook to Google and Apple are jumping into this bandwagon of Successful Selling Strategies, which are summarized as follows:(source from here)
  1. Your salespeople are the solutions to increasing sales, not more advertising or image building.  All Apple Stores (not to be confused with Apple Resellers) staff undergo 3-months of intensive training before they can attend to walk-in customers.  How about you?  When was the last time your salespeople attend training?  2 years ago?  Take advantage of PIC claims and sign them up for sales training now!
  2. Content is king, context is emperor.  Yes, content is important, but what is more important than content is context, how do you customize and contextualize your content to the local market?  
  3. Customer satisfaction is worthless, customer loyalty is priceless.  No point satisfying your customers because you can't win by making them happy, you only can win by exceeding their expectations, that's how you can repeat business. Apple's iPhone 6 is one good example.  (orders are being placed in the black market now)
  4. Leadership by Management is outdated, Leadership by Salespeople is evergreen.  Get your salespeople to lead the company by doing the impossible, that's right, sell the impossible
  5. If you build it, they will come. Yes, build your supply in advance, supply here includes goods, capacity and sales team. Get more salespeople out in the market and you'll win over business from your competitors.  Look at Google, they have so many re-sellers out and they have a huge team in Singapore too. Whether you're building your sales now or waiting for sales to come, learn from the experts.  Related articles on sales:

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
