9 Ways of Aggressive Selling per Sun Tzu Art of War

Most people equate aggressive selling to aggressive salespeople doing pushy or aggressive selling. Nothing is further from the truth.
As we know, selling is professionally helping other people to buy. Aggressive selling is just professional selling done in an aggressive way. Sun Tzu in the Art of War advocated wars be fought quickly and with determination. (The next Sun Tzu Art of War for Sales seminar is on 8 Jan 2019 Tuesday 9 am to 1 pm).
Author Andy Ferrari Norman defined Aggressive Selling to be 'Determined and Energetic Selling that Produces Quick and High Results'. There are 9 ways to do aggressive selling:
1. Aggressive Sales and Marketing, If you have deep pockets, you can expect good results because no one can ignore such education. The recent aggressive marketing by Oppo for its R17 phones is one good example. Anyone that goes to the cinema cannot ignore it and it became a household name very fast.
2. High Incentives for Salespeople, like 100% commission. In fact, one training company offers 50% commission to its students that bring in new students
3. High Rewards for Customers, like giving them huge discounts and expensive freebies, like what Huawei Nova 3i phone does: it is selling its 6.3 inch 24 MP camera phones at only $350
4. Low Pricing with progressive add-on later, like what Xiaomi does
5. Over Promise Over Deliver, like what trainers normally do. They promise 12 items but delivered 22 in the course
6. High Emotion Selling, because emotions make people act while logic makes people think.
7. Irresistible Selling. This is my favorite, where you give customers an irresistible offer, like an 88% discount for a WeChat course
8. Mad Dog Selling, where salespeople pursue their prospects like a mad dog. If done in a professional way, prospects will be moved, like what men do when they woo girls
9. A Series of Inter-connected Ploys. If you use all of the above 8 strategies at the same time, you will undoubtedly create tremendous results in a short period of time.
In short, if you follow the Sun Tzu's Art of War way of aggression with Tao or Purpose, you can expect victories quickly. One word of caution: not everyone can do aggressive selling because most people are not hungry enough. The alternative is to do Attraction Selling, which will be covered in our next article

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
