Top 7 Ways to Increase Sales Regardless of the Economy
Has the economy put your sales into a tailspin? Here are 7 ways to reverse those dismal sales and put more dollars into your bank account.
#1 - Track your progress - Until you know where you are, what you need to increase sales and your current sales results, it is difficult to increase sales. Return to your sales action plan located within your business strategic action plan. If you do not have one, how is that working for you? Research says that only 1 out of 10 people will change. Will you be one of the 10 who changes or 9 out of the 10 who stay where they are, currently in a fetal position suffering from the Ain't It Awful Virus?
#2 - Know your numbers - Just as you know what 10x10 equals, you should have the same memory recall when it comes to your sales numbers. How many contacts do you make before an appointment is scheduled? How many appointments lead to actual opportunities to present your case? How many presentations lead to an actually earned sale? How many delighted and loyal customers refer new customers to you? Knowing you numbers is a sales skill.
I#3 - Increase your current focused actions by 10% - What would happen if you increased your current actions by 10%? If you know your numbers (see Top Way #2), you would then know that you only had to make 10 more calls to secure one new client.
#4 - Reconnect with all customers 30 to 60 days - Your existing customers are your greatest pool of profitability and referrals. Do not let that dry up because you have failed to reconnect with them.
#5 - Leave your ego at the door - Now is especially not the time to have your ego bouncing ahead of you as you enter an existing client's office or meet with that new potential qualified customer. Consider leaving the old paradigm of sales based marketing and embrace education based marketing.
#6 - Be authentic in all interactions - People buy from people they first know and then trust. Do be trustworthy means that you must be authentic. How authentic are you? What are others saying about you?
#7 - Listen more than you talk. - Follow the 80/20 rule. Listen 80% of the time and talk only 20%. This can quickly jump start your sales.
Yes you can thrive in a down economy provided you are willing to take action to increase sales. Print out this article. Then put one of these ways within the next 24 hours into action. If you fail to take action, then reread Top Way #1 and consider sales coaching or hiring a sales coach.
Take this free sales skills sales coaching assessment to help you increase sales.

| More and more OFWs and Balikbayans are leaning to franchising to start a business |
National Franchising and Business opportunity Fair is a co-located event of 8th Mega Balik Bayan OFW Expo which will be held on December 9, 10 & 11 2011 at SM Mega mall Trade hall.
Christmas is the most celebrated season in our country and the time when even Filipinos working abroad scheduled there home coming to spend the occasion with their loved one.
Other than having a vacation for the mean time and spending quality time with their love ones, setting up a business is also one of the few goals OFW or overseas Filipino workers have planned. Although many OFW consider their work abroad as their main source of income for the rest of their lives, many of today’s OFWs consider their work as a first step for them to establish a life better.
This life is possible by starting their own business which will serve as their main source of income if managed well.
Owning a franchise business in the Philippines is fast becoming one of the most popular and most effective ways to gain financial stability. A lot of young entrepreneurs are getting into this type of business more and more each day.
True enough, with a 90% success rate franchising a business is booming. The industry has only been in the Philippines for about 11 years but according to the Association of Filipino Franchisers. Inc. (AFFI), there is now about 900 franchises all over the country! In fact, the Philippines is now known as the “franchise hub of Asia”.

DESPITE the availability of assistance programs and light payment or investment schemes, only two overseas Filipino worker (OFW) households out of 10 choose to invest or save the remittances they regularly receive.
Based on a study made by The Nielsen Co., only around 17 percent of households said remittances go to savings and investments, while a whopping 96 percent of OFW households spend it on basic needs, such as food, utilities, bills, rent and education.
This data is very alarming and it only makes the task compelling in creating avenues for OFW and Balikbayan to be educated in entrepreneurship and wise investment.
In 2010 OFWs sent a total of $18.7 billion worth of remittances. If a large chunk of this remittance is invested into creating business a lot of people will have jobs and the trend of going abroad just to earn for a living will be abated.
This is the reason why Mega Balikbayan OFW Expo, an eight year event advocating entrepreneurship and investment directed at OFWs and Balikbayan continue to grow and reach-out this segment of the society.
Business has a multiplier effect that can make the nation progressive. The OFWs and Balikbayan have the income to enter in a business provided they are guided and educated there is no reason they cannot be successful in this field.
Government figures showed that for the January-to-June period, OFWs already sent $11.3 billion worth of remittances, despite the global crises, which initially was expected to cut remittances in 2011.
This figure if only we can harness has a very promising potential in stimulating our economy to unprecedented growth.
As for Mega Balikbayan OFW Expo, the event is slated this December 9-11,2011 at Megatrade, SM Megamall.

Like the sales process, there are times that after you engage the clients onsite, you still have to make a follow-up to close the deal. In most of the cases this happen, a client closes the deal after the event, after the exhibitor or company showed that he/she is not only after a sales but a partnership.
This is what makes expo or events powerful, it provides a venue to engage clients and it eliminates cold calling and other cold approaches. After the event, the stage is set for a smooth and easy process of generating sales.
