How do Seniors Sell their Homes today? At a Real Estate Auction
Facing what is perhaps the worst housing market since the Great Depression, most seniors will find it almost impossible to find buyers for their outdated homes. And, with the current glut of unsold houses in many markets, even reducing the asking price may not solve the problem. So relying on traditional real estate sales methods to sell their existing homes has in many instances failed to produce results. An often overlooked real estate sales strategy called “accelerated marketing” is gaining wide popularity with outstanding results. Accelerated marketing is a real estate auction strategy and makes the most sense in many situations facing seniors today. The home is sold “As Is, Where Is”. The Seller retains control of the transaction. Buyers like the auction method because they are buying at “true market value”.

Information Highway Roadkill!
Don't Become Part of the Information Highway Road Kill. Road kill refers to the animals that have been struck by a motor vehicle and killed. You can rarely go on the highway without seeing roadkill.

Actions and Attitudes and Fiscal Fitness
Henry Ford once asked one of his young automotive engineers, "What is your life ambition?" The young man said, "I want to become very rich."

Then he asked the engineer, "What do you see?" "Nothing," the guy replied. Having made his point, the auto giant said, "Then maybe you should rethink that ambition of yours." The man had money right in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see it.

Momentum seems to be a force when it comes to sales performance. When Bob gets on a roll, new opportunities fill the pipeline, move along fairly quickly and close at the first opportunity...until the momentum changes. When Bob goes on vacation, gets distracted, becomes busy with deliverables or gets sick, it's a whole different Bob.
The Creation of an Objection
“You attract to you the predominant thoughts that you’re holding in your awareness, whether those thoughts are conscious or unconscious.” Michael Bernard Beckwith Before attempting to handle any type of objection, it’s important to begin by looking at the beliefs that sales people are holding in their minds. If they are focusing on what objections they believe they will encounter, they will unconsciously transmit these thoughts to their prospects.

The IT Sales Model is Broken
We are in the midst of a genuine revolution in the way I.T. sales are made. At the heart of this revolution is the issue of competing on value. In many cases, the differences between traditional sales approaches and value-based selling appear to be subtle, but in fact, they are profound, requiring changes in strategy, corporate culture and selling skills. Today’s markets are characterized by rapid commoditization, and it is seldom possible to compete on the basis of product features and benefits for any length of time, if margins are to be maintained or improved. Increasingly, the question being posed to suppliers, by their most important customers is – “How much better off will my company be if I buy your product/service or business solution?”

Video – the Next Wave of Small Business Marketing?
The current small business marketing trend is the addition of video to things like websites, promotional DVDs and blogs. Think of the explosion of You Tube – more people watch You Tube across the world each day than people watch TV. The cutting edge of the trend is live self-broadcast TV streamed from your website. Think of it like your own ongoing TV program. One of the gurus in this is a guy who talks about wine – Gary Vaynerchuck. A guy who is passionate about wine talks about it in laypersons terms – complete with plastic character toys. It is out there, loud, real and he out-rates many of the top US TV shows.

The "100% Commissions Motivate" Myth
There's a good reason why over 97 percent of progressive companies and service industry firms that I've consulted, use a form of a "hungry base plus commission" compensation plan for their sales professionals, rather than employing a straight commission pay structure. The reason is simple, straight commission pay plans demotivate many more sales professionals than they motivate.
