No matter what type of business you own, Marketing & Sales is the determining force between your business growths or it’s going out of business sale.
Here are a few tips that I share with others in regards to increasing independent business sales:
1. You only have so much time as an owner, consider hiring professional consultants and or Sales Team to drive your business sales.
2. Create weekly milestones for your Sales team .
3. Motivate them with incentives and friendly team competitions.
4. Hire an experience Marketing/Sales Coach that can mentor your sales group.
5. Develop incentives that motivate your customers to buy.
6. Educate your customers through various forms of promotions. An educated customer is typically a faithful customer.
7. I have more, but will end with this. Be active in selling if you are the owner. A Leader is someone who let's their team eat first, because he/she knows that they are nothing without team effort. The best leaders are the ones who lead by example.
I'm a straight to the point type of person. I hope these basic tips help you get started. For those who need a more detailed and comprehensive marketing strategies, I recommend scheduling a consultation time so that I can determine opportunities for development. In the interim, stay aggressive and remain positive.
