Hot Tip #31

80 % of your sales will be to people you have done business with before. Less than 20% will be new customers .

Hot Tip #32

80% of your profit will come from only 20% of your customers. Who are your most profitable customers? Can you do more business with them?

Hot Tip #33

Draw a matrix with your profitable customers listed down the left and your
products across the top. Blot out the intersecting squares showing which customer buys which product. Immediately you can see who doesn't buy what! These are your "windows of opportunity". Tell your existing profitable customers about the products they don't yet buy!

Hot Tip #34

You will question your way into far more sales than you will talk your way into.

Hot Tip #35

Ask "What why and How. Where and When and Who?" For example never say "Can I help you?" Because 64.5% will say "No thank you" or "I'm just looking" Always ask "HOW can I help you?" and 67% give a positive thinking response!

Hot Tip #36

I get 18.5% more sales when I wear a blue suit than a brown one. How you look says more about you than you could possibly imagine. So dress appropriate…

Hot Tip #37

Eye contact, Smile, a cheery "Hello" mirror their body language -every time you meet and you'll have them eating out of your hand!

Hot Tip #38

Do not give customers a choice between doing something or doing nothing.
ALWAYS give them an alternative choice. E.g. "Do you want to pay cash or credit ?" Remember if they answer to either - they've bought!

Hot Tip #39

Write down five alternative choices you can use when selling your product or service then practice drill and rehearse them. E.g. "Which colour do you prefer the blue or the black?" "Do you want us to deliver it; or will you pick it up?"

Hot Tip #40

Do not give a customer a choice of three - it just confuses them!
