Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from Community Joint Ventures with 10 Incredible Ways To Keep Your Sales Soaring.

10 Incredible Ways To Keep Your Sales Soaring

1. Maximize the effectiveness of your adsense ads. Don’t just use the same size banner, use a
variety to attract the greatest number of clickers. Test, Test and more testing makes you Cash.

2. Make your web site load much faster by cutting down on banner ads and start using more buttons.
Button ads are also smaller and take up less space. Very few people pat attention to banner ads now.

3. Offer free advertising space to well known and respected companies on your web site. Sometimes
people link their business credibility to yours.

4. People have been taught all their life to respect people in authority. Tell your visitors that you are
the president or CEO of your business. People like to deal with the top dawg!

5. Offer people a free telephone consultation before they order your product. When they get to know
you personally, it could convert to more sales.

6. Find a charity your target audience would likely support. Tell people on your ad copy that you will
give a percentage of the profits to that charity. It will make you feel better about business and yourself.

7. Hold a “buy the most wins contest” on your web site. Tell people each monthly winner will get a ipod, ebooks or software you managed to get at a reasonable price or better yet, free.

8. Attract visitors to your web site by offering them a free course. You could package the course on
a follow-up autoresponder and send lessons daily.

9. Interview people related to your industry and get their legal permission to convert it to an article.
Promote your web site by submitting it to ezines.

10. Follow Up. Always follow up your emails, telephone calls, first time meetings, introductions quickly so they don’t lose the interest in you and your products or services.

Hi gang, Rick here from Community Joint Ventures with an article on sales and marketing trends for this year. Sales and marketing professionals in 2008 will be eliminating clutter and getting personal.

They know the only profitable way to grow a business today is to create a sustainable relationship with the right customers. This starts with engaging their minds to get to the heart of what they want – which is a relationship that works. This is the green state of mind.

Here are the 2008 Trends for Building Sustainable Customer Relationships:

1. The Green State of Mind – Green is more about doing the right thing than saving a tree or an ocean. That’s because doing the right thing - simply making quality actions for the customer - automatically takes care of the results they are looking for. Customers today are keenly aware of being green. Ignoring this implies little concern for the value of their time, money, and most importantly, their values.

Everyone is fed up with the waste in our economy today. Customers don’t want to waste time by playing mind games. Jeff Korhan, sales and marketing consultant and meditation instructor says, “I can promise you that connecting with your customers is as simple as finding that secret space between those thoughts that clutter their minds. That takes you straight to their heart. The right message about doing what’s right for the customer is the “mantra” that resonates with them. If your marketing message and sales approach clearly mean something to you, it will mean something to those people that are right for your organization.”

2. Surprise Marketing – To get the attention of customers today requires an element of surprise. No creativity is required. Getting face-to-face with customers and providing personal service on a consistent basis is going to surprise the heck out of them! Walk into an Apple Computer store and you’ll feel the buzz, the training, the levels of planned expertise that are there to ensure personal, consistent service for every customer. This is unexpected these days. You don’t have to be a cutting-edge corporation to deliver this level of service. Surprising the marketplace is simply doing what you know they want. When your staff is trained in a process to deliver exceptional, personal, and professional service, they will surprise their customers AND their competitors.

3. Active Relationships – It’s easy to start a relationship, but hard to keep it going. Building sustainable relationships is the key to any successful endeavor. You have to go the distance. This is one reason most politicians, many celebrities and some regular consultants and business owners are recognizing the value of blogs as active tools for quickly getting a message out to the marketplace – and getting it noticed. Blogs are making websites look like static brochures, the dinosaurs they replaced. Blogs are also perceived as real. The same information on a blog is interpreted as raw and unpolished and therefore more believable. If you aren’t blogging by the end of 2008, then you are probably not serious about your business. Professional networking sites like Linked-In are also rapidly becoming acceptable tools for staying in touch. Very little effort is required to stay in the loop – and as they say - if you aren’t on the inside, you’re on the outside. It is green outside, but it may be chilly out there too.

Hi gang, Rick here again from Community Joint Ventures with tips on what customers want, need and ultimately purchase. If we can understand what their needs are then we can speed the process in selling them.

There are various ways that you can find out what customers are buying both from online businesses and from brick and mortar businesses. Once you find out what customers are buying you can focus your website content and articles on what your mainstream customers are looking for.

Some of the ways that you can find out what people are wanting and needing:

Check out the malls. Go to a shopping mall and sit for awhile. Make note of the shopping behaviors of those people who are around you.

Establish what stores have all the action. Watch to see which stores have the most consumer traffic. Take a look inside to see what is being sold, how it is being sold, how much it is selling for, and how the product is being marketed.

Take a look at advertising and marketing. Although you may not be selling the same items as those stores in the mall you should still a look at what makes these stores stand out among the rest. How are the products grouped together in the store? How is the product being advertised?

What you find out from brick and mortar stores can be applied to your online business. Learn what works when it comes to advertising online. Find out what is visually appealing for consumers that makes them want to buy that particular product.

Check out your local auction portal or sites. For example, Ebay.com. Most of the sites, they publish “What’s Hot?”, “Recently Added”, “Top Viewed”… Surf around. I would say www.ebay.com is my favorite place to study what online shoppers want. Don’t forget to look out for .com.au, .com.uk.,… These would be more location targeting and you’ll be able to hit the correct market.
