Make The Phone Your Best Friend
Do you believe that to close a sale you must ‘get in front of prospects?’ Why? Really. Have you ever asked yourself why? Do you tell yourself that you MUST have that eye contact? That ‘face-to-face’ juice? Do you tell yourself that if you’re not in the field, you’re not selling?

Buying Decisions: What Happens Behind-The-Scenes
For some reason, it's very difficult for sales people to think beyond 'need' and 'solution:' We tend to think that because the buyer's need matches our solution, and because we're professionals who 'care,' the only thing buyers need to do is choose our solution. But if it were that easy, buying decisions would get made more often in our favor. We certainly would not lose as many sales as we do. The problem is that the buying decision is so, so much more complex than we can imagine as we stand on the outside looking in. Sales mysteriously treats an Identified Problem (my word for 'need') as if it were an isolated event. But it's not. There are ramifications to any change, and the ramifications are ones only buyers can see from the inside and we will never be privy to.
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.

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.

Problem Solving: Step One
The first step to solving any problem is asking yourself this question: Am I trying to solve a problem or am I trying to change something that I have no power to change? In my world a problem is something that I can solve with the resources that are at my disposal using skills I own within a reasonable length of time. Something I can’t change is a condition, not a problem. We’ve all hear “conditions of employment.” haven't we?
