So you’re all fired up about the awesome new business idea you have? Fantastic! Once you decide what your business is all about and you are ready to start, you’ll need to take the excitement you feel about your ideas and make your customers feel excited too – that’s how you’ll make some serious cash. In this article, we’ll introduce you to some awesome selling ideas!
Most of us hear the word ‘sales’ and we think of a salesman. These dudes can be seriously lame, always trying to push a product in your hands and tell you how awesome it is. Most of the time they sound like they are reading a speech instead of talking to you anyway! OK, so we know you are totally not going to be like that when you start your own business, and great salespeople aren’t like that anyway – they just know how to make their customers excited about their business and provide products and services that their customers really need. Here’s how you can do this in your own business:
Be confident!
One thing people love is someone who is confident. You don’t have to have too much swagger, but remember that your customers don’t know you yet when you meet them for the first time and you want them to see you as young, smart and full of drive. Confidence tells your customers that you are sure of yourself and believe in your products – that’s a great first step in selling anything!
Don’t be pushy.
Confidence is great, but once you get too pushy with customers it can seriously put them off. The best way of selling your product is by showing your customers how it can benefit them, and if you share your excitement with them too, they’ll have a hard time saying no!
Benefits, benefits, benefits.
Nobody is going to buy something or use a service if they think they don’t need it. The trick to selling anything is to show your customers how awesome your products or services are and how they will benefit from buying them! Show your customers why they need to do business with you, and that’s just what they’ll do!
