Selling in Tough Times

How much are your sales down? Companies with good skills, strategies and a solid market position are not suffering. business may be down, but they're not suffering.

The irony is when business is hurting is the exact time you need to invest in yourself. If you don't, you will continue to get clobbered.

Someone skied into me two weeks ago, dislocating, fracturing and chipping my shoulder leaving me, in addition, with a torn rotator cuff. In business, you may be feeling the same pain. That's more clobbering than anyone should have to endure. Your business is in your hands! You don't have to sit and wait on the sidelines while the economy, market and your competitors careen into you. You're not on the ski slopes, so don't get clipped. It's painful and can be lethal.

Here are a couple easy steps to make sure you thrive even if others aren't...

1. Reassess you product/service - Price is only a major concern when Prospects see no difference between you and your competitors. What are your competitors missing that you can do...frequently at no cost?
2. Make the changes! - Don't try to be everything to everyone; that's a sure way to keep the losing streak going. Do, however, make the changes that differentiate you so price isn't the focus. If there is nothing special about you, why would anyone want to advertise with you?
3. Develop your critical skills - If you are struggling in sales, and sales is critical to your success, this is the worst place to save money. Think about it... if your sales are decreasing, you're not saving money, you're losing it by not doing something to change your course.

If you don't invest in yourself and your sales staff now, you'll "save" yourself out of business.
Now more than ever, you need to know how to make sales easy and stress-free. Deny yourself this skill and lose your business.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get the results you've always gotten. And if business isn't good, don't sit on the sidelines watching yourself get clobbered. Take control. It's up to you. Let me know if I can help.
