Bonnie, how do you ever sell anything if you don't make sales calls? (part 2)
This is part 2 to the question, "Bonnie, how do you ever sell anything without making any sales calls?" The answer to this question took up two episodes! Episode 82 is part two of the answer.
"Once again, what I'm doing should be selling for me. I shouldn't have to go to great lengths to get people to buy things from me. If you have to jump through hoops yourself to get people to buy your things. That is just too much trouble.”
-Bonnie L. Frank
Today’s episode is a continuation of Episode 81. If you haven’t listened to that episode, go back and listen because you'll hear why I really don’t like sales calls. In this episode, I explain how what you are doing online should sell for you. I explain the best marketing practices to get prospective clients on your email list or to your website.. You can use all the other online platforms such as Clubhouse, Facebook, Twitter and your podcast to make connections. I also explain the three things people need before they can feel comfortable buying from you ,as well as what question you need to keep top of mind when you are marketing your programs, products or services. It’s really what's at the center of sales. In business (or anything!), there is no one right way to do anything. I tell you about the bad advice I got from coaches and what you should know about your business.
