Thanks to the ticket Jill Earthy from the Forum for Woman Entrepreneurs gave me, I recently attended The Art of Sales seminar. Four speakers captivated the audience with their personal stories, innovative ideas, and practical tools for serving clients and increasing sales.
Here are the most useful and inspiring sales tips I learned:
1. Ask yourself, “How can I be the best?”
2. Make a daily appointment with yourself to think.
3. “Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I will understand.”
4. Sell with integrity and love.
5. Ask yourself, “Why do I do what I do?”
6. Confidence is built on preparation and belief.
7. Make a commitment + fulfill that commitment = Results.
8. Create a low barrier of entry for your clients to connect with you. MAKE IT EASY!
9. Sales opportunities are created by building trust and credibility with your clients.
10. TWITTER WITH RELEVANCE.
Whether you’re selling a product, service, or yourself, these tips are jewels of wisdom.
