Hot Tip #41

The greatest salesman or woman on Earth is 99% like you.

Hot Tip #42

If you see yourself as a £5,000 a year person you are right. If you see yourself as a £500,000 a year person you are also right. We all have "comfort zones " and some people are not comfortable earning a lot of money so they subconsciously sabotage themselves at every turn. To stop this Visualise yourself wallowing in the amount of money you want to earn next year . (At least one third more than this year) Use 1000 affirmations stating your name and that you NOW EARN £XYZ. ( I use an abacus to keep count but matches or cocktail sticks will do) This may sound crazy but I've earned a third more every year for the past five years because of this!

Hot Tip #43

Build a sales machine. I need one new sale every month to hit my £ target and to achieve this I write four proposals to get that one sale. To get the four proposals I make 10 visits to new clients. To get those 10 visits I make 80 contacts/leads. Every month religiously I make those 80 contacts and on average every month get my one sale! On average how many contacts (adverts , leaflets, letters, phone calls Etc.) do you have to make to get a sale ? Double your efforts in a recession!

Hot Tip #44

I get better results if I hit 333 letterboxes three times than if I hit 1000 letter boxes once! And it usually takes 8 insertions of an advert for it to pay for itself.

Hot Tip #45

When taking EVERY cost into consideration it costs me £1250 to find a new host for my seminars. How much does a new customer cost you?

Hot Tip #46

Satisfied customers in 1999 are useless - the words are now DELIGHTED CUSTOMERS They will tell up to 14 people how good you are…

Hot Tip #47

Only one person in twenty five complains. The other 24 simply shop elsewhere . So if you have a complainer listen closely to them because There are another 24 out there bad mouthing you to upwards of 14 people each ! (336 people total)

Hot Tip #48

It takes only 4 minutes for people to make their minds up about you so those first few minutes are vital. Is your reception area clean and tidy? How do you answer the phone? Is your letter warm and friendly? See Hot tips #36-41

Hot Tip #49

I get 38% more responses if the letters ' heading is in inverted commas. (Don't ask me why it's just the way it is).

Hot Tip #50

76% of sales in a supermarket are impact purchases. Get a professional to lay your shop out. We did this with one client and his turnover went up by a third!
