When you are in sales or own a company you've got to concentrate everyday on feeding your pipeline. The more you feed it the more you'll make. You've got to get creative in finding those customers that are looking to buy your exact product. It's getting harder and harder to beat out everyone else and get them to know about you to choose you.
The ABSOLUTE fundamental to sales and it's greatest secret success formula is so basic that it's astounding.
You know how they say that things change yet remain the same? Well, it's true with selling and marketing. The old marketer had to do some really time consuming and expensive stuff to get a person to buy their product. You thanks to the New Economy can do it from the comfort of your home.
The sales process is and has always been some sort of funnel. The more you feed into it the more will come out the other end.
All of the current Internet gurus act like the "funnel" or some other fancy name they've come up with is their invention but it's just not true. It's just some new paint on the same house that perks it up for sale.
What is new in the New Economy and the old marketer trying to get sales is that you need to make a tweak in your head on how to approach sales and marketing in this Internet age.
Before the Internet, business to business sales or retail sales were done through a physical interaction. That's when door-to-door salesmen existed.
Back then it took a whole lot of money to start a business and to get all of that infrastructure in place and to keep it going. Could you imagine having to pay out all of those salaries every month? OUCH! It's a wonder that any businesses survived.
Now with the digital world more people than ever before can create real companies and have digital products to sell or have a virtual storefront where someone else carries the inventory. There are so many kinds of businesses to start.
When you are approaching your marketing or looking for sales make sure that you tweak your approach to be appropriate with the tools and technologies of the current age.
