Augment Your Sales: 2 things you can do immediately!

Marketing and sales is what keeps your business going, right? An infusion of both can help your business soar. If you are feeling a little stagnant and need to augment your marketing and sales read these two tips and put an action plan in place to implement immediately.

1. Overcome fear and develop courage and self-confidence. Part of that comes from practice and knowledge (knowing your product, competitors, and potential rejections). Having a well thought out presentation is also helpful. That doesn't mean to over do it and get all stressed out. Have a professional presentation printed on quality materials and dress well. Confidence shows!

2. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone and call your prospect. The worst that can happen is that they say "NO". What always works best for me is to be patient. Just keep calling (not harrassment), but keep in touch. Being in the right place at the right time is critical. Increase your call number by at least 5 people a day. This will get you more sales ultimately.

These tips are designed to be easy enough to implement immediately. Just a few ideas each day will help your business to grow.

What do you to overcome fear, break barriers or increase sales?
