Well Done - Benjamin Franklin

MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL - MOTIVATIONALblog.blogspot.com
_____



"Well done is better than well said."

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
American statesman, writer,
scientist & printer



sales moral:
actions speak louder than words

Did you know?

* 1 in 4 people in a soup kitchen line is a child.

* 11% of the 23 million served by the America’s Second Harvest Network are senior citizens.

* 42.6% of the clients served by the America's Second Harvest Network reside in
suburban/rural areas.

* 70% of families that used food pantries had earned income in the past year

If you can... please support America's Second Harvest — The Nation's Food Bank Network. Whether you have one dollar to give or one hour to share, you can make an enormous difference in the lives of the hungry people all across America.

Use this link to visit the Network for Good... an organization that makes it simple, safe, and easy to donate or find out more about America's Second Harvest, or your preferred organization, and help end hunger in the US.

sales moral:
Losing a deal to a low cost provider can sometimes be more valuable in the long run.

When the lowest priced product or service doesn't meet the expectations of a customer, a deeper appreciation of the price/ value relationship is developed. This can create a new sales opportunity from what was initially lost - an opportunity for a much stronger business relationship than otherwise may have existed.

You Can't Just Sit There - Diana Ross

MOTIVATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL - MOTIVATIONALblog.blogspot.com
_____


"You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream; you've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself."

Diana Ross (1944 - )
American singer



sales message:
raise your level of sales urgency... why?


sales thought:
When you consider the complete value of a customer to you and your team -- the lifetime value -- the importance of a "selling urgency" becomes very strong.

It only begins with the initial revenue.

Use this link for more insight and a chart of the 7 types of revenue that can be gained from a sale.

special note:
For those who sell a product or solution that helps a customer get a customer, illustrating the seven types of revenue (the complete value) is a great way to help the prospect see the value of buying now rather than later.

New Release - Ron White's Speed Reading,
