Love Me, Love My Spam
Years ago, I met a man (we’ll call him Fred) at a networking group. We exchanged business cards and soon afterwards, he started sending me a lot of internet joke emails. That’s fine – I can’t read all of them, but some of them give me a good laugh and perk up my day....

Stress-Free Selling® - Stop Giving Deals!
Do you know why most people ask for discounts? Because they can! Sometimes, it's that simple. No one wants to be taken advantage of, and if they think they'd be foolish not to negotiate, they will. This does not mean they will not pay full price!!!! As long as you are willing to bargain, you will be asked to do so. If you do not negotiate, negotiation becomes a non-issue. . . even if everyone else in your market gives in. Here's proof...

About those Microsoft ads, some folks SHOULD buy a PC
Some folks are concerned about the recent spat of Microsoft ads knocking the high cost of ownership of Macs and the “Apple tax,” it all boils down to this: if nothing matters except getting a bargain basement computer as cheaply as possible, get a PeeCee.
More on Upselling
Upselling works, we know that now, but how else can it be used? Besides using it to leverage complementary products, it can also be used to help customers discover new and bargain products that are market relevant.
Apple should NOT cut Mac prices
There’s a constant cry from some quarters for Apple to slice prices on the Macs to: a) compete with the bargain bin PeeCees, b) accommodate consumers in these tough economic times, and/or c) prove those Microsoft ads wrong. To which I say: don’t do it
What Happens When You Try to Hard To Sell?
If you are in an industry that has been impacted by the recession, and you are doing everything possible to continue to bring in revenue, then you are working twice as hard, twice as long and twice as smart. If not, you are probably failing right now. Twice as long is plenty obvious. Twice as smart means planning the strategies and tactics you'll use for each opportunity. But what about twice as hard? Is that working twice as hard today and tomorrow or is that working twice as hard with every prospect?
The Hard Sell
I declare right up front that I am not, and never have been a fan of the Hard Sell. You have probably guessed that from all my previous posts. And if you ask most people about what they think about the profession of selling they will often describe something akin to the ‘Hard Sell'. Of late I have also noticed a rise in ‘hard sell' stories where people are being unnecessarily pressured to buy or sales people being pressured to sell at almost any cost. The hard times may be pushing some people to do things they wouldn't normally do like the "Hard Sell".

Group Buying Sites- A Delight for Bargain-Hunters and Savvy Advertisers Alike
Getting a bargain and the sense of urgency that limited inventory and short-lived sales create is fundamental to consumerism. So, it’s easy to see why group buying sites that create a sense of urgency- by offering limited-time offers, like daily deals and flash sales, to a limited number of individuals- and deliver deep discounts for consumers, as well as a measurable, effective marketing strategy for advertisers, are wildly popular among bargain-hunters and enterprising business owners alike. In fact, according to Experian Hitwise, a global information services company, visits to a sample of group buying websites and aggregators increased 610% between August 2009 and August 2010. And a recent study by daily deal aggregator, Local Offer Network, projects that the U.S. group buying industry will expand by 138% in 2011 to $2.66 billion.
