How to Sell without Selling

Everyday in my line of work, I have an opportunity to sell something to people. Perfect strangers allow me access to their homes, their lives and their personal space, yet I choose not to sell them anything. However, I am one of the most successful reps in my market. How is it that I am successful at persuading people to do something they have very little knowledge of, and not be a salesperson?

Because I work at being me. It's The Power of Attitude

Selling is hard work. You have to memorize scripts, memorize and remember the right things to say at the right roads of objection. When you're being yourself, it's so much easier to have a natural conversation with people. They trust me more that way. I get in the door 65% of the time, and my closing ratio is 54%. Yet, I do not sell anything at any time to anyone.

When I leave a panel members' home, they feel like they can call me with any problem, and they do. At all hours of the day or night, and that's okay. I tell them I am always accessible, and I am. See, the one thing I learned in this business is that people don't buy a product because it is the greatest thing since sliced bread; no they buy a product because they like the person presenting the product. They trust that person, they can identify with that person. Who you are is who you will be. When I approach the door of a household, I let them know I'm not trying to sell them anything, only that they have an opportunity to participate in something that most people would love to do. They are unique and special. Then I let them know what it is that I have for them.

The majority of them are just as excited about participating once I tell them this, and they let me in their homes, offer me dinner, and some want me to come to church with them.

Being yourself is important when you're marketing a product or service. It makes you less nervous or anxious.

Article Writing and the Email Marketer

You have got to have an opt-in list if you are an email marketer. There simply is no other choice. After Congress passed the CAN SPAM Act and it became law in 2004, you cannot legally send bulk marketing emails without the express consent of the recipients. If you do, you will be fined heavily. The law provides fines for up to $11,000 per incident. So...there you have it! You either have an opt-in list or you will have to find another way to make a living. One of the best ways to build your opt-in list is to write and market articles.

Marketable articles are short...only 300 to 400 words. The key ingredients...

Are You Successful Because of God, or Is It You?

I just read this article published by Marketo, titled: "The God Complex and the Importance of Trial and Error, " written by Jason Miller, it discussed a scenario where a company which wants to make detergent discovers how using a process of trial and error. The gist of the article summizes to create the theory which states do successful people have a God complex in which they refuse to believe, no matter the situation, that their way of thinking, their ideas are wrong regardless of the "complexity of the situation." Let me tell you why that article sticks out to me. I have been marketing successfully and unsuccessfully at times on the internet since 2001. I've had my super successful times as well as times when I've just plain walked away from projects. There was a period where internet marketing programs paid my bills for three years and financed lavish vacations to the Caribbean and other wonderful places many people...
