Many people have been asking me about my best sales strategies for selling more expensive products.
Well, what I’ve decided to do is to put all of my closely guarded secrets into a comprehensive, 110-page eBook that you can now download from my website.
I’ve even included four free bonuses to make your decision easier.
And, as a special offer for the next 24 hours only, I’m going to send you another secret bonus when you purchase my eBook.
You’re probably wondering how I can make such a bold statement, and how I managed to achieve such exponential growth in a sales territory. Let me explain. I’ll start off by saying that my and tactics are completely innovative, cost almost nothing to implement and make sales like you’ve never seen before.
In my first sales territory, I was allocated a list of Education accounts that had no prior dealings with my company. Most salespeople would be very nervous going into a territory like that. How would you approach it? Would you cold call each account and hope for the best?
Well, I started out cold calling each of these accounts and found myself going nowhere fast. I then decided to educate myself and take countless numbers of courses, seminars, books and home study courses to get myself up to speed. Gradually I learned new and innovative sales strategies. Some of these techniques were as common as dirt in one industry but had huge pulling power in my industry because nobody else was using them!
Using the techniques and strategies I’m sharing with you, I rapidly improved my sales and was promoted to a Major Account territory within 12 months. This new territory had been neglected and was seen by most other salespeople as being too hard and too slow to make decisions. It was the University territory.
If you have ever sold to Universities, you will know what I mean here. Everything is committee based (they even have committees to make committees!). As all experienced salespeople know, the more people involved in the decision, the less likely they are to make any decision……
Naturally, I simply took the strategies from my previous territory, applied them to the University territory and took the territory from $300,000 of sales to $2 million worth of sales in just 12 months. I also signed up every client on lucrative 5 year support agreements. And my prices were often up to twice as expensive as the competition.
Let me assure you that these work. I was so successful in my sales territory that the company sent me on two overseas holidays for two people (all expenses paid). I also won several interstate trips and many other bonuses and prizes for beating sales budgets. These sales strategies work equally well on Government clients, Education Institutions and of course, Private Businesses.

B2B marketplaces are excellent platforms for businesses to come together and pursue potential customers and clients. However, in order to leverage the full potential of a B2B marketplace as a lead generation tool, you need to play your cards right.
Here are some tips to help you successfully generate leads:
Communicate, don’t Campaign One of the most important rules of the lead generation process is never to make the potential audience feel that you are only there to get their business. This sends them the wrong signal and makes them feel that you are just after their money and not interested in providing real value. Instead of blatantly campaigning for their business and advertising your products and services, try to communicate with them and create a dialogue. Rather than talking about how great your products or services are, try talking about the potential customer’s concerns, needs and requirements and tell them what benefits they might gain from a variety of different options. This will make them trust you as an industry expert. With a little bit of follow up, you can convert their interest in your products or services to a ‘need’ and turn them into your customer!
Streamline your Sales & Marketing Efforts No matter how great your marketing strategies are or how smart your sales team is, if there is lack of collaboration between the two departments it can result into failure of both your marketing and sales strategies. Create common definitions for both teams and streamline their efforts in line with one another. When there is better coherence between the sales and marketing efforts, there will be improved lead conversions.
Define Your ‘Ideal Customer’ Though the most obvious, it is often the most overlooked step. Before you start with your lead generation process, define the profile of the ‘ideal customer’ for your business. This will help you target and focus your efforts on the right type of customers. In addition, it will eliminate scope for many issues and conflicts going forward. An idea customer profile is that of a company, business or individual that is most likely to become a long-standing and beneficial customer. While drafting the profile, keep in mind some key considerations, such as annual revenue, Standard Industrial Code, number of employees, level of contact and functional, local, regional or national business situation and psychographics aspects.
Plan an Effective Lead Management Process It is critical to create an effective lead management program. Such a program should implement your ‘ideal customer’ definition and establish a clear process for handling and distributing inquiries and leads.
Maintain a Database for your Leads You also need a well-designed database to store and keep track of all your leads. In fact, your bulk leads could be stored in the database that you can use to explore more business opportunities and communications. And don’t worry about overflowing the database. A little buffer supply never hurts a business.
Nurture your Leads Once you get leads, you need to nurture them. The process of lead nurturing involves multiple steps. Focus on communications and marketing efforts that keeps up the dialogue with the lead, builds the relationship further and addresses other customer feedback issues.
