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 Leadership by Management is outdated, Leadership by Salespeople is evergreen.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:

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

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
