10 Great Ways To Jumpstart Your Sales.

1. Find a strategic business partner.

Look for partner or mentor that has not only achieved success,
but achieved it in a manner you wish to achieve it yourself. For
example if someone created a residual income off of talking to
strangers and giving them a business card and that's not what
fits your personality and you can't see yourself doing that they
are probably not a good partner for you. Find what fits your
personality.


2. Brand your name and business. You can easily
do this by just writing articles and submitting them
to e-zines or web sites for republishing.

3. Remember to take a little time out of your day
or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the
difference between success and failure.

4. Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes
businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free,
sometimes you have to spend money to get results.

5. Always market using a funded proposal. Offer a
front end sale and then later introduce your prospect
to your business. This "qualifies" the person for spending
your time with them. Time is valuable. If you get on the
phone with every person who comes to your website and
they are not of the same mindset as you, you are wasting
your time and their time.

6. Include emotional words in your advertisements.
Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy,
satisfaction, fun, etc.

7. Have an auto responder (and your own capture page)
Systems will come and go but you shouldn't have to leave
your prospects when you leave a system. Without an
autoresponder you will die a fast death in Internet
marketing. The money IS in the list. It's essential.

8. Model other successful business or people. I'm
not saying out right copy them, but practice some
of the same habits that have made them succeed.

9. Ask people online to review your web site. You
can use the comments you get to improve your web
site or you may turn the reviewer into a customer.

10. Never stop learning. When it comes to Internet
marketing you must never think you have "mastered"
it. You must always continue to learn. Getting prospects
to your business is the only way to continue to prosper.



I will be expanding on these techniques in the next couple of weeks. Tip to help you out depending on your marketing level look at these items and see what you are doing and what you aren't doing. Then decide what you need to learn first. To give you a hint the first thing you need to start with is a funded proposal. It could be the most important thing on this list.
