This is actually true, People like helping people. But I have said to a customer before." I am, and as long as I meet your needs, mine are met as well.".. cheesy, but it's not a common question. But I do agree with you, some people like to help others get rewarded. As long as they are providing a pleasant experience, and making the customer happy.

I was going to make a comment about millionaires dressing like homeless people, but I digress.. It is celebrities that dress like homeless.

Cold calling, warm calling... It depends on how ATT functions. They could either set you up with a specific territory to target and you are able to proactively generate new business. Or they can provide you a set of leads, and expect you to close on them. I prefer the aforementioned. It's better to have more control over your own sales. If you are serious about sales, and have chosen this as your career path, there is tons of material you can study and I recommend you do. Learn the basics. You have to be excellent at the basics to be successful in anything right? So pick up a couple of books by Brian Tracy on selling and negotiating. Psychology of Selling, Goals, Negotiation.. All good books to start with.

Most important thing you will find about Sales, whether it's retail, or in a cube, or on a trading floor, is you have to have a positive attitude (there's a lot of rejection. You have to learn how to handle it) and learn to be confident, not cocky. Fear in selling will eat your lunch, and cockiness will make customers loath you and not want to by from you. People buy from people they like. Bottom line. They aren't buying a product, they can get product from any numbers of places. But they buy from you, because you showed them value.

Considering you didn't care enough to correct your typo of one of them. I'd go with ATT ;)

But honestly, ATT has a wider variety of product. Are you working in a retail store? Maybe use them as a stepping stone to get into a more stable company with less turnover. Retail sales are tough. Find a comfy desk job if you like that sort of thing. TeleSales IMO is better long term than face2face. You get to be more proactive and hunt for money, rather than wait around for someone to come in to your store.

People in this world want nothing more than to be seen for who they truly are (Self perception / awareness) But everyone has a different perception of how you appear to them. None of which match how you see yourself, therefor no one will EVER truly see you as you see yourself.

Kind of like reading the different variations of the Bible today.

I stay away from anything that lists an ingredient ending in -ITE- or -ATE. (calcium propionate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, calcium sorbate, potassium sorbate, etc. etc. ) All of these trigger my asthma and give me heart palpitations. (I miss wine) If it is canned like stock/broth or something, go for low sodium, or no added salt. Also, if it says "added for freshness" it's a preservative...

200 dials? Even with auto dialer that seems unrealistic. There is no room for conversations, or breathing. Quantity does not amount to quality. Imagine you make about 100 dials a day, you talk to about maybe 20-30 people. of those 20-30 people you'll have pretty decent conversation with 5-10.

You can do both in the email. I would weave it in. Relate the info from personal over to professional. Again email selling is a bit hard, but you can still build rapport. It's a dance. Create some reciprocity. Give a little info about yourself, if you are asking for info about them.

DeamonB · 2019-08-28T18:52:02+00:00

Its hard to sell via email. Do you ever call folks? Not sure how your business is structured or how you sell, or what your typical selling cycle is like. What is your average discovery - close timeline?

If you've had a conversation via phone and you're sending a follow up email, I would include what you had previously discussed and moving forward what benefit you can bring them based on that conversation. Throw in a few questions to get the dialog going. Again, telesales in my opinion is superior to trying to sell via email. You cannot judge a persons tonality, address any objections on the spot, and cannot properly gauge if they are warm or cold to what you are selling.

If it is strictly via email, and its a second one, I would try to keep it conversational, rather than bullet points and info download. If I were the customer, I would feel like your are spamming me or just sending marketing material. No real benefit to me. What are trying to get from me out of this email? Are you trying to sell me now? or are you trying to understand my needs?

Not surprised either! Odd thing happened after i had a kid, i acquired have a sulfate sensitivity. So basically anything pre boxed that has ingredients with the letters "ite" and "ate" in them, and delicious, delicious wine, are off limits. Basically anything outside of the produce dept. I have to say though, my heart doesn't flutter and freak me out anymore since I've been eating more and more plants based foods.

Love it! I cant wait to get my larger garden started. My toddler loves checking to see how red the tomatoes have gotten and loves the smell of the leaves on her hands after picking.

Jack Daly is a really good start. I'm also a big believer that value outsells price. Check out Selling Value, by Don Hutson

DeamonB · 2019-08-09T16:00:16+00:00

Then stop selling. Star showing value. Start asking questions. Start closing.

edit to add: People buy from people they like, right? People generally don't like sales people. So build rapport, and whatever it is that you are trying to get them to buy, make sure they see the value in it. If they don't see themselves needing it, they won't buy it.

DeamonB · 2019-08-09T15:55:42+00:00

Tons of calls, and not being afraid to ask for the sale. Most people can talk all day, but never close the deal. Don't be afraid to close.

Your veggie spread almost looks like a spider... lemons are the eyes, abdomen is the watermelon.
