Let me set the scenario:

You get a great sales page flying at you through an email from a marketer whose list you are on. It sounds good, but you’re on the fence about buying the product. "It might help me out." "But I promised myself I wouldn’t buy anymore products for a while." You’ve got that little volleyball match going on in your head.

As you get down near the buy button, you see the bonuses. Wow! 7, 8, 11 bonuses. You didn’t really count but you can see there are a lot.

Now my question(s): Does seeing this many bonuses cause you to buy the product? Or does it turn you off? Or does the number of bonuses matter to you at all – your mind is made up before you even get to the list of bonuses?

Next question(s): Does it matter to you what the bonuses are? If they’re video, audio, or PDF bonuses? With our without private label rights? PLR products or new original products?

I know, there are a lot of questions here but I’d like your comments. I’ll tell you what I think after you leave your comment and let me know what you think, okay?

During all economic mood swings and slow seasons, we ALL must work a lot harder for smaller returns. Slow times demand more work hours just to break even. This very real doom of economic hard times, is a group psychological dilemma. We work in the sales chain where doom and gloom can really beat up our paycheck!

The news media loves to jerk our emotions with hot and "negative-angle" stories, that do shock people. If a story can be twisted and slanted to have a political tone, it sells. Interest rates are a common shock topic.

Can You Really AFFORD to Be Ho-Hum?

No! Our challenge in sales is to find the leaks in this unrealistic, economic-defense mess. We drive a sledge hammer into it…. that will eventually crack OPEN new business to happen for us. All of this must be accomplished with accounts, that in better economic times, only required a reminder pitch to make a sale.

No matter what happens, when things are on hold for whatever reasons, if we have substance behind us, we sell the truthful fact, that we are an exception to everything else, even in hard times. Truthfully state every good reason needed to put the customer at ease. You better have a few very good reasons behind you, because sales efforts must be re-focused, in order to get a Ready-to-Buy answer. Don’t exaggerate or lie. Your customers aren’t fools.

Past track records move sales. Reputation matters. Solid brands can move mountains for you. Punctuality and customer service can be critical factors. Are you easy to reach? How’s your guarantee, if you have one? Be bold but don’t hand your customers or prospects a "snow" job. That never works. Today’s average e-consumer is enlightened and quick to complain.

Can You Survive the Waiting Game?

It is a must to sell this step the exact way we sell our products and services. We use third-party testimonies; we dig for that inner champion; whether it be King Kong or Wonder Woman. We dig and find that driving force. We do NOT whine, because we know sales won’t happen if we can’t get a grip on conditions; selling isn’t for whimps! If you’re just starting out, you better be good, because you have no track record to rely on. If you’re seasoned in sales, you better have a great track record.

We should always be capable of coming up with honest and ethical answers to the proverbial questions.

1. "Why should I listen to you?"

2. "What’s REALLY in it for me?"

3. "Why buy now?"

Sales "professionals" always have the collective power to TURN around any economy. Do you understand that NO one else can do this?

Sales MOVE the universe. We eat, breathe and survive on sales of every kind. It is however, a ton of work. You sure can’t wait for things to get better. You have bills to pay and people to feed. You have to PUSH yourself to make better "conditions" for yourself. Nobody else can do this for you. If you are sitting and waiting for customers to drop in your lap, you are fooling yourself.

Sales demand aggressive and qualified ACTION, every single day. The good seller finds their own customers. There are no shortcuts. You have the ability to make very large incomes. How hard are you working to locate people who WILL buy what you sell? Finding your own customers is no small task. Forget swaying customers away from your competition. Why? It’s simple to see that this type of customer may not remain loyal to your brand, if you have one. If you base paying your bills on deal hoppers, you’ll have a very hard time making ends meet.

Have you even heard about this law?

Eighty percent of your overall business will come directly from twenty percent of your already existing, customer base.

Since you’re in the sales business, learn the rule of Pareto’s Law of Unequal Distribution! You can’t change Pareto’s 80/20 Law, It’s been tested and proven, throughout the years. Work with it….NOT against it. Give 80% of your precious time, talent, and effort to the 20% of your customers, who already support your business.

If you neglect your 20%, while you seek new business in other places, someone else will grab them away from you. Then "they" will become someone else’s 20%, as they EXIT in droves, as your 20%. A great deal of NEW business should come from your existing accounts. Work your strengths on a daily basis. Give more effort to what you already have in your lap.

In order to do this properly, you need to REALLY understand how to treat your current customers. Your customer service must be exceptional. There is no way to get around this principle. Auto-Response Systems can be used, but they will NEVER take your place. You just might auto-respond yourself, right out of business. If your competitors specialize in live customer service, you will lose business, if you don’t personalize your services. Your existing customers deserve the best. Give it to them, hey will be responsible for the greater part, of all of your new business.

You really only have 20% of your time to prospect and cover the 80% of your customers, who are not contributing as they could be contributing, to your bottom line. This is how the law of uneven distribution should be made to work. Inventing new personal approaches isn’t smart. Pareto figured this masterpiece out hundreds of years ago. History doesn’t name timeless laws after people for nothing. Pareto’s Law has withstood the TRUE test of time. Follow his law and you certainly will Prosper and Stand the test of time, too!.
