SALES is a very important aspect of running and growing a small business, isn't it?
If you didn’t grow up doing sales like I did, or even if you didn’t do it in a previous job, you must admit that mastering sales is mission critical to even being somewhat successful in your own business, much less SUPER successful!?
Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert…
Whether you’re experienced or not…
Whether you believe whatever you’re selling is worth it or worth more or not…
You have to continue honing your skills and gaining new ideas about how to sell more effectively, authentically, and successfully.
Top 3 Ways to Sell More
1. Raise your rates—yes, decide to do this right now. On the call today, in fact, one of the gals who sells coaching decided on the spot to increase her 6-month 1on1 program from $3,000 to $5,000! She just gave herself a $2,000 raise! How? Because I told her what her time was really worth and what others who did what she did were charging, and she believed it and realized it (on the spot).

2. Create a new offering – Another gal on the call was only selling a $9 video training, a $12 ebook, and a $200 group program…. but her goal (after a little coaxing and inquiring) was really to make $10,000/month! Even without the lower-end offerings, she’d have to sell 50 people every month into that $200 program to make $10K/mo if that was all she offered. I suggested that I knew there was something else she could create that would feed her creativity like the other offering did, where she could make $1,000 or more per sale. We just had to brainstorm to figure out what that was or what other things she could do/sell! But plugging along with what she was selling and doing wasn’t working, no one was buying…. she really needed to change directions all together. (I thought) If you can’t see what else you could do or sell, you want to speak with me 1on1! I once did a 90-minute brainstorming call with another client and gave her eight solid ideas to generate revenue based on what she loved.
3. Do MORE follow-up – of course, you want to do more lead generation in the first place, but too many rely on social media posts and webpages to sell people; still, in this bustling and diluted marketplace… instead, you need to take charge of the follow-up and reach out to people who you’re connected to, via email, private message on social, the phone, text (if they’ve agreed to get your texts), and yes, even direct mail. I’m preparing to mail thank you cards to everyone at last week's event! The little things make you memorable and at the top of your mind. Everyone interested in your products/services has a dozen other things they’re considering buying. I’m sure… hardly anyone follows up very well these days… YOU need to be THE ONE who does a fantastic job at it. Be assertive when reaching out and following up, and you’ll see better results! I will also share the resources I have that can help you with this!
May this help you increase your sales!

8 个月All great suggestions, Katrina. Follow up as always, in the past, been something that I was hesitant to do. But I've talked with enough experts like you who have convinced that follow up is the key to making sales. I used to think of that as being pushy, but I've come to realize that follow up can be done with respect. ??
