Don’t read this if you think sales training consultants and coaches are for assisting sales people only.  If you are in business then you are a sales person, whether you realize it or not. 

For more than four years I’ve been studying and implementing online marketing practices.  How did I financially survive the first year in this business? 

Focus on selling

I focused on selling, based on what sales training consultants and coaches had taught me in the past.  Not blogging, not advertising, not sales funnels, not even attending live events.  All I did was sell, sell, sell.

Every day, I worked very hard. 

Sure, I’d like to tell you that online marketing is a breeze, but then I’d be ‘selling you fluff’.  It’s hard work, but when you start to ‘get’ it…it’s fun and rewarding (financially and emotionally). 

What if you have no sales experience?

Lucky for me, I’d already had 25 years sales experience under my belt and had multiple sales training consultants from the beer industry, wine industry and more teach me how to sell.  But what about the business owner who has no sales experience and wants the freedom and lifestyle that building a successful business brings?

That’s why I believe sales training consultants and coaches can totally turn a business around and jumpstart even the most novice entrepreneur. 

Here are 10 ways that sales training consultants and coaches can fast forward your business:

1. Overcome information overload and overwhelm – keep selling simple and in three steps!

2. Teach you how to use the various tools of selling so it’s completely natural and helpful to your prospects

3. Coach you in role playing – so you are confident in your sales ability and truly close on multiple sales (in a single day)

4. Guide you on setting your daily sales goals so you achieve the yearly income you desire

5. Review and direct you on your autoresponder drip system to ensure you have clear calls to action and a purpose for each drip

6. Sit in on your sales presentations to critique you and present positive feedback

7. Motivate and inspire you to be the best of the best in your industry through professional selling

8. Assist you in learning customer retention (the key to repeat sales)

9. Educate on multiple ways to sell including storefronts, one-on-one, direct mail, email, telephone, teleseminars, and more

10. Personalize every aspect of the coaching to meet your very specific needs

 Here’s a little sales secret I’d like to share with you. 

Before you start anything else today, consider your financial goal for the rest of the year in your business. Seriously, do you want to earn $1,000 a month, $15,000 a month or even more?  Don’t short change yourself.  Reach high and make the effort to make your sales goal.

Monitor your own sales activities daily and start being accountable to you.  Set your monthly sales goal, break it down into daily sales and start selling to reach that daily goal.

 I’ll be sharing more with you on how I can close on thousands of dollars in sales on a daily basis by utilizing what sales training consultants teach.

Watch and learn.  Then implement.  I think you will be shocked at your success!

Warmly,

Alicia Bausley
