10 Hints to Enhance Your Business Sales Execution 2018 |
No matter what industry you’re in, what worked well a few years ago isn’t good enough today. This is no time for trial and error or order taking; this is a time to sell, make sales and use proper sales promotion techniques. Here are some basic steps you can take to improve your sales performance, reduce your cost of selling, and ensure your survival.
1. Clarify your mission.
Begin by understanding your business niche. What do you do best? Who needs what you do? How do you best approach these prospects? How much are they willing to pay? If these questions are not answered easily, campaign at the top for clarity and vision.
2. Break the mission into specific goals.
Write down the activity goals (calls per day, proposals per month, referrals per call, etc.) that you can control. Set results goals (sales per month, amount per sale, profit per sale, etc.) to measure your progress, and track them closely. Increase your activity and measure the results. Goals focus your attention and energize your action.
3. Sell to customer needs.
Always assume your prospects will buy only what they need. How can you convince them of that need? Emphasize the features of your product or service that reduce costs and solve problems for the customer. Sometimes you can reposition your wares. For example, you sold wool uniforms for their look and feel; now stress wool’s durability and lasting value. Be creative in your sales and marketing.
4. Create and maintain favorable attention.
Effective marketing, referrals, strong sales skills, and strategic questions are the keys to creating favorable attention. Diligent follow-through and above-and-beyond customer service are the keys to maintaining it.
5. Sell on purpose.
Know both what to do and why you’re doing it at every step along the way. Who are you targeting and why? What are you going to tell them and why? What are you going to ask them and why? What is your proposal going to look like and why? When are you going to ask for the order? If you don’t feel sure of yourself at every step of the selling process, get some training or guidance.
6. Ask, listen, and act.
Better than any others, these three words summarize success in sales. Your questions must be creative, planned, relevant, and direct. Your listening skills must be highly developed. You must respond and take action that proves that you listened to the customer and want the sale.
7. Take the responsibility but not the credit.
Realize that you are the team leader. The company looks to you for direction and supports your effort. To build a strong support team willing to go the extra mile when you need it, give your team the credit for everything that goes right, and take the blame when it goes wrong.
8. Work on the basics.
Even the best of the best have room for improvement. Make a decision to improve your weaknesses, and set goals to force yourself to do the things you don’t like to do. Be more creative in your prospecting, fact finding, and presentation skills. Imagine the perfect salesperson and compare yourself to the ideal.
9. Develop your attitude.
Your attitude is controllable. Conquer your fears. Change the beliefs that limit your success. Your thought habits control your commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, resilience, happiness, and confidence. Be aware of them, decide which ones are unproductive, and then make a commitment to change. With time and effort, you can become the person you want to be.
10. Maximize your time.
Focus on your goals. Test every activity for its importance and urgency. Create an ideal schedule, and test your actual time use against it daily. Remember, just one hour a day used more productively adds up to more than six extra weeks of productive time a year.
blog traffic |
Of those, only around 50% of all blog posts get more than 8 shares.
Even 42% of professionally marketed blog posts receive less than 10 interactions!
And it looks like less than 1% of articles hit 1000 shares.
But I’ll let you in on a little secret…
Most people, even professionals, really suck at marketing their posts. They just aren’t taking the right steps or building the right relationships.
Which is why I’m writing this post.
You’re about to learn how to increase blog traffic in 2 straightforward steps. Let’s get started.
I’ll begin with a quick overview of the strategies, then we’ll break them down further – step by step.
Here they are:
If you’re ready to start getting real blog traffic, real fast, then keep reading. You won’t be disappointed.
If you’re starting a blog, every single blog post you write should have a keyword in mind.
Yes, there are exceptions – like writing a news piece that’s only pertinent because of some event or writing an update about your services – but for the most part, you want tooptimize every post around a keyword.
There are a few reasons for this:
It’s not super difficult, either. Some people even believe (myself included) that SEO is still low-hanging fruit for many bloggers. It’s because SEO seems complicated, so most people avoid it – lessening the competition.
Let me break it down really quickly, and give you some resources to get started:
Obviously, if you want to rank on Google, you need to know what keyword you want to rank for. I’ve written extensively about how to find great keywords before. But it pretty much comes down to using the right tools:
Just take a seed keyword (such as “low carb recipes” if that’s what you write about) and plug it in one of the tools. You can also google that keyword and look at the autofill and related searches at the bottom of the page:
Then, take all those related keywords and plug them into one of the keyword research tools above. When you find one with a low keyword difficulty, create a post around that topic, including your primary keyword and its related keywords. This is your first step to learning how to increase blog traffic.
If you’re using GKP, you can get a rough idea of the difficulty based on the domain authority (DA) of the search results when you Google that keyword. You can find DA withMoz Open Site Explorer. As a rule of thumb, if a lot of the posts have a DA of over 40 or 50, it’s probably going to be tough to outrank them. But using Ahrefs or SEMrush will give you a better picture.
Optimizing a page for a certain keyword is called on-page SIEO. It’s actually pretty simple.
Link-building is a major part of SEO these days and a crucial element to learning how to increase blog traffic – plus, the #1 reason SEO is a low-hanging fruit. Most people simply skip this step entirely.
Strategy #2: Do social media the right way.
Most people are using social media as a platform to push out their content. This is completely, 100% wrong!
Gary Vee, one of the world’s most well-known social media marketing experts, believes in the “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook” method. In other words, you need to put out at least three posts or updates that are completely free value to your followers before trying to get anything in return.
Link to other blogger’s content, get influencers to give you quotes to include in your posts and share other people’s content. When you do, tag them in it – and make them look really friggin good. Compliment their work and drop thoughtful insights within your post.
There are Facebook groups for every niche out there. You also have Google+ communities, LinkedIn groups, and Twitter chats.
Last week, I had a Strategy Session with an accomplished author, consultant and speaker in Europe.
His goal over the coming year is to increase the amount of paid speaking engagements he gets because being on stage naturally leads him to more consulting gigs as well.
First, we looked at what he is currently doing.
Almost every time he is getting booked for speaking, it’s because the event organizer found him by doing research or through a referral.
So every time he gets booked, it’s because the decision maker needs him right now. That’s good of course.
However, the challenge is that there is no control he has over that. The decision maker does the research, comes up with several people to call and then compares his choices.
So we started working on a different approach
We looked at his existing network.
When I asked him how many event organizers and creators he has in his network, he said that he had neglected connecting with them in the past. He had mainly focused on connecting with peers. So we started there.
Now, as you know, a referral is one of the most powerful ways to win new business.
So we mapped out a referral trust building sequence.
Because he had no systematic approach in the past, he neglected keeping up the relationships with his peers and did not nurture them.
So we started with brainstorming what a re-connection sequence could look like.
A re-connection sequence is designed to re-establish a relationship or re-initiate it. This can be done with anyone from a good friend you haven't’ talked to in a long time, to a LinkedIn connection you never really talked to.
The speaker told me that he had recently developed some simple tools to make his life as a speaker a lot easier. So he could share these tools with his peers because that would add tremendous value to their lives.
Great. Now we even had some content to start with.
At the end of our conversation, we got to a place where we had a very clear idea about what kinds of trust building stages his peers need to go through in order to remember him as the very first person when somebody asks about great speakers on his topic.
We even mapped out some of the content he could share with his peers to make that happen.
As the next step in our relationship, we need to identify the right people in his network, categorize them and then design the actual messages in the trust building sequence that will evolve his peers from one stage to the next. This will ensure that the network he has already built, is actually working for him and he’s not just wasting this asset.
Now I want you to think about your network
Where are your relationship assets? And how do you currently nurture these relationships to create win-win situations?
Chances are that you already have lots of relationship assets.
The question is, how do you leverage those assets in a way that feels authentic to you?
Maybe the reason you haven’t nurtured these relationships enough is because you’re afraid you come over as pushy.
Or maybe it’s because there are simply too many small decisions to make and too little time in the day.
Here’s my suggestion.
Think about nurturing these relationships in a systematic way that feels completely authentic to you and people in your network.
Because when you combine the systematic side and the authentic side, you’ve got the key to making it effortless and effective.
