What Sales Career to Start With - Choosing the Right Sales Career

After having an idea on what to sell or choosing the "right" industry for you, which brings me to our next sales training topic which is "where to start your sales career".

I often here this line a lot from beginning sales people, "I enjoy selling but I don't think I'm in the right industry".

From experience alone, I can tell that this where we draw the line from professional salespeople and "just-salespeople". It is where we separate the boys from the men, as they say.

Selling is Just an Idea Away - As well as Business

It all starts with an idea.

In any business venture, it all starts from an Idea. Whether conceptually correct or not, I don't care. Business comes from ideas.

Everyone has an idea. Making it into a business, now that's a different story.

But I like to focus on the concept of having an idea. Why? Because again we all have ideas. And "sell" to as many people as we like.

Yeah, we "sell" of sorts of ideas. From our favorite movies, actors, cards, banks, restaurants, hobbies, and even sport icons. We tell people about everything we think of often.

Sales Mentor Online is Still Here - It is here to Stay for GOOD!

It is quite inspiring that after a few years sales mentor online is still here. Well, frankly it will be here to stay.

I have been busy lately, and have new businesses to attend to but I as much I as I can I will try my very best to share to everyone the very best sales practices that I have learn. Especially the ones that really work.

It has been so different coming from the consumer industry, towards selling that investments and insurance product. The kind of selling and marketing are very varied. Of course the fundamentals in closing are kind of similar, but the approach is very different.

Selling has always been a very big part of my life. Not only professionally but as well as personally.

The journey continues for me, as a sales mentor and as well as serial entrepreneur. Really teaching people not only in sales but in life in general.

This officially declares that the sales mentor FREE coaching is still open. For consultation and any inquiries. Of course it remains paid. But if you just want to avail the free lessons, it still posted in this website. As well as you can request for my Ebooks and other business lessons.

Happy selling everyone,

Sales Mentor - Closing the Sale using Visual Aids

For today's sales mentor lesson we will now talk of the effectiveness in having a good presentation material to ensure a salesperson closes the sale.

To tackle this topic we need a little background in Psychology. Don't worry I'm not going to talk about parts of your brain or any Psychology concepts to make you understand this topic.

All you need to know as a salesperson is this; when you target audio 15% of the person's attention is with you; if you use audio with proper diction and voice stress you are able to target a preson's attention by 45%; and lastly if you use audio with stress and include visual aids in your presentation 95% of the person's attention is with you.

A Sales Technique By Giving Something for Free.

Well, it did not take me long to get you a sales mentor lesson in just a few days. So for today’s sales mentor tip, we will discuss a very common way to sell, especially on the long term. This concept is called the Free Concept.

Yup, I know you already have an idea from the title of the sales concept alone. Simply put, you give something for FREE in exchange for your prospects trust and to create tangible value for your product.

In my experience, this is one of the best ways to improve your sales without much effort on sales persuasion and sales presentations.

This technique is most effective when you are introducing a new product or a new line of products. But the problem here comes if for example your business or company has very limited, hence this getting more sales using the Free Concept is only good for businesses that have a good budget for the free. Although there are certain ways to apply the free concept to grow your sales but that is another future sales mentor lesson.

Sales Mentor Is Back and Re-vamp to A New Sales Training Series

It’s been a while since sales mentor online has given you tips in your selling endeavor, and I must admit, life has certainly been blessing your sales mentor with many business opportunities.

I am now a fulltime entrepreneur and no longer depend on a job to make a living. Also that I have already given up my sales and distribution business in Bacolod City, Philippines. Though that sales business was also providing for me, it could not produce the passive income which I was looking for.

After my resignation as sales manager of the biggest local company in the Philippines, I am now FREE of a boss. I had already got over the feeling of being so needy of a job, and finally move to a better life of purpose and more selling success.

But here’s the thing, if you’re an avid reader of my sales mentor blog, I can no longer update my post as much I wanted to. Due to certain demands in my business and the many websites that I now maintain (as an Internet Marketer), my time is limited and dedicated to many businesses.

3 Best Ways to Say Thank You, the Sales Mentor Way.

In my years as a sales mentor and a salesperson as well, I have learn that there are really simple things that you can start right away that will help your selling efforts a lot easier than any other day.

This sales mentor technique is called the "genuine thank you".

There are a lot of high-paid sales directors and managers out there that have forgotten the essence of a real thank you. Of course they thank their bosses, like the CEO's or GM's of the company, yet they have trully forgotten how to say thank you.

So here I am again, your sales mentor knocking on your doors, that you allow me to share a little sales mentor lesson to remind you of how important a thank you is.

So first the step of a genuine thank you is be appreciative to everyone rather than being critical.

Most of us know that saying thank you, is a "branch" of gratittude but only a few realize that gratitude is also an accumulated attitude.
