What You Can Learn About Sales from a Toddler

Sonia Simone offers The Toddler’s Guide to Salesmanship, posted recently on her blog, Remarkable Communication. Sonia writes:

“They wreck our stuff, kill our sleep and chase away our non-parenting friends. But we still love ’em and want to take care of them. I’ve learned a lot about effective persuasive communication from my three-year-old.”

She goes on to share three timeless tips. And she notes:

“These suggestions aren’t (just) tongue-in-cheek. Try them out in your own communication to make some stronger connections.”

What’s One Thing You Can Do to Attract Clients Today?

As entrepreneurs, we have a tendency to want to swing for the fences. We want to hit the home run. Master Marketer Jay Conrad Levinson said, “Marketing is not an event, but a process . . . It has a beginning, a middle, but never an end, for it is a process. You improve it, perfect it, change it, even pause it. But you never stop it completely.”

You can improve your efforts by looking for one new idea to implement every day. Or simply take one new action. Remember that marketing is a process, so you always need to be in the mode of taking action to increase awareness for your business.

Implement One New Idea Every Day!
The popularity of social networking has created many opportunities to connect with people online and build relationships. If you’re looking for a simple way to get started, sign up for Twitter. It’s considered a micro-blog. You can post short messages to let people know what you’re doing. You can also share tips and resources.

Phrases Attract Clients

Lori Richardson
Words are important in sales and marketing. They grab your attention. They inspire and motivate you. They cause you to take action. If you want to increase your sales, then you need to craft some effective phrases.

Lori Richardson, Founder of Score More Sales, says that, “It is always good to think about what you are saying over and over again each day when you are a seller.” Great advice Lori.

Words Attract Clients!
What phrases do you use over and over? Do they get the results you want? If not, what’s missing. Remember that words attract attention. And words attract clients!
