PROBLEM SOLVING
It isn’t that they can’t solve the problem. It is that they can’t see the problem. The Scandal of Father Brown (1935). People differ not only in how much they worry, but also in what they worry.

An Elephant Sized Sales Tip You Need Now
Look Down Lady - There's An Elephant On Your Foot! (And this is a pachyderm in dire need of a pedicure.) This is the ELEPHANT that hardly anyone ever asks about with their potential customer: "Who was your previous supplier and why are you unhappy with them?" Don't be sooooooo afraid of mentioning your competition because you're terrified you'll lose the sale too. A BIG, elephant-sized mistake that would be. Pssst. You need to know what your customer's expectations are of you. You need to know what made them so unhappy with their last supplier that they dumped them (or are considering it)

Business Growth: The Sales Managers Secret Weapon
In a recent poll, I asked managers, "What is the biggest challenge you face in 2009?" Answer: "Increasing sales and doing it with fewer resources." Before you can address these challenges, I encourage you to take care of what's likely to be the biggest roadblock you have, and you may not even realize it's there. The elephant in the room. Your company feels the economic pain. Sales are down, morale is low, your people know you have to make cuts. Everyone feels tired, overworked and taken for granted.

Elements of a Sales Letter and What Makes a Good Headline?
The first step to write a good sales letter is to describe the problem: When people first reach your sales letter, you need to put them in the right frame of mind. Talk about their problem -- what you think has brought them to your page or email. Tell a story that empathizes with them, telling your personal story. Make the problem bigger, so that they feel like they need a solution. Every sales letter has a problem, that of paying for your product. You want to make their problem big enough, so that it's more worth their while to pay for your product than to suffer whatever problem brought them to you.
