I don't care if your business is online or offline. The basics of running a successful business remain the same. I met a man who was starting his computer repair business at the same time I was starting mine. His computer repair skills were better than mine at that time. My business picked up quickly while his eventually failed. Here's the difference in our backgrounds as to why my computer repair business thrived and his did not....

I have no idea why people have made this a bad phrase

SALES TECHNIQUES. Lazy people and employee-minded people just left this page. You always hear people mention marketing. by the way, for those of you who choose to continue reading. I have a free tip for you that will increase your sales.

• Digital Marketing

• Internet Marketing

• Affiliate Marketing

But when was the last time you read about sales techniques or closing techniques? Okay, if you're about to Google what closing techniques are you'd better stay on this page.

What Does Sales Techniques Have to Do with Our Difference in Backgrounds?

I spent 20 years testing hearing and selling hearing aids on a commission basis. The man I met designed websites for a large company. This gave me the skills I need to:

• Write ad copy

• Design websites with a call to action which is another phrase meaning closing in sales

• Schedule appointments on the phone using choice closes

• Not be afraid of my labor fee

• Request my money directly after the appointment whether the job was completed or not

I Can Go On But Here's My Point

Being able to use sales techniques helped me to stand out in my business field. New marketers, see there I go, the phrase is NEW BUSINESS OWNERS, usually start out with employee minds waiting to be told by the affiliate marketing vendor (i.e. product owner i:e BUSINESS OWNER) what to do. Chances are the vendor has never had any sales training either. So what does he/she tell the new business owner?

"Just drop your affiliate link in Facebook groups."

How Does That Make You Stand Out?

From the thousands of people dropping links in the same groups? The new business owners are probably even copying and pasting the same advertisements the vendor told them to copy and paste.

We Use Sales Techniques Everyday of Our Lives!

I still remember my son at 8 years old. We were shopping and my son said,

"Dad, can we buy this? I'll carry it."

That's a redirect close. For a split second, it worked as I was about to say,

"You don't have to carry it son. Just put it in the shopping cart."

I laughed. As both a trained, experienced teacher and expert in sales-psychology I appreciated my son's attempt and told him to just put it in the shopping cart.

We Also Use Sales Techniques When

• We ask people out on dates

• Proposing marriage. Think of the sales presentation you set up yourself when you proposed to your mate.

• Job interview

• Asking for a raise

• Getting recognition to get a promotion

Again, I Can Go On....

You can see my original point on how many businesses fail may also be a reason why you may be failing in other parts of your life. If that sounds to harsh, I'm sorry, but maybe a reality check is just what you need to give you that nudge.
