Little Know Method Will Make You More Sales
In business, your number one priority is to make that sale.
Every operation of your business should be supporting you making
that sale.
Yes, to be sure, marketing, accounting, product support, service
support, customer service, shipping, and whatever process you
have in place, are all important.
But without that sale... You flat-out don't have a business.
If you're running a small business, a Home Grown Internet Biz,
for example, Making that sale is ABSOLUTE KING.
Though I will focus on your sole proprietorship, Home Grown
small business, the basics discussed here are true with bigger
operations. In fact, a Home Grown Internet Biz has a huge
advantage over all other business models when it comes to change
& growth.
The advantage? We Home Grown Internet Biz Owners are able to
respond quickly to good advice and new information.
We can immediately send emails to test our new information. All
it costs us is our time. With each testing we can fine tune and
improve on our conversion rate. Then test again.
We can then implement and test our findings to our websites and
into our advertising campaigns. That's a powerful advantage.
How important are your sales to your Home Grown Internet Biz?
That's your call, not mine. But, here's one example of how
important sales are to my Home Grown Biz...
My monthly ISP cable access is $40.44. If I don't want to run my
biz on the public library's computer, I have no choice but pay
that each month.
Hence, making $40.44 each month is my first order of business.
How do I pay it? I make sales. Or better, I make one sale that
pays that entire amount. Then I concentrate on making the next
sale to pay for the next fixed overhead item, etc.
My Home Grown Internet Biz sells a number of products and
services. Many of them are supplied by affiliate programs.
I chose affiliate programs because most of the work, with the
exception of making the actual sale, is done by the affiliate
programs I sell. That free's up my time to carry on with the
most important task of any business...
Making that sale.
You and I know that nearly every Tom, Dick and Mary Jane on the
internet are also selling affiliate programs. In fact, there's
plenty of competition for any affiliate program you pick.
Personally, I don't think you should view it as competition.
That type of thinking is self-limiting. There's more than enough
business for each of us.
Instead of thinking of the other affiliates as competition,
think of them as part of your marketing team. Watch their
marketing tactics and strategies.
Then You Improve on their tactics. You Fine tune their
strategies. In other words, begin looking at your competition
for immediate sales help.
Go one step further. Transform your competition into your
mentors. Regard them as your teachers. And yes, let them become
your sales trainers.
Here's how you do that. Don't do business like they do. Be
different. Set yourself apart from the other affiliates.
How do you do that? Most simple operation in the world...
Be yourself. Don't be afraid to let YOU out. YOU can't be
copied. Use YOU as your marketing edge.
Word of Caution.
I'm not suggesting you steal from other affiliates. Nope, I'm
suggesting that you learn from their style. Then... Improve.
Test. Enhance, i.e. Add value. By using your unique self to your
advantage.
Make sure you give thanks for their help for your improved sales
stats. Always maintain a grateful attitude toward them and their
unknowing help.
By the way, this tactic of using YOU as your marketing edge is
an example of Branding. I have an affiliate program that is all
about Branding. If you're interested let me know.
Meanwhile, back on the internet farm...
Dear Reader, This method will work for you. It Will help you

the mix and dance.
Be yourself. There's no one like you. And YOU DO DESERVE IT ALL!
Go - Go - Go - Go Make that sale. Your Home Grown Biz depends on
it...
