Street Meat Heater: A Simple Solution

What's Your Niche?
Here is a question I want you to answer right now. Ready, who are the specific group of people your business serves and what main solution does your business offer them?
Money comes to you when you do this one thing!
What is the solution you offer your clients? Not what you think the solution is, but the actual solution. The greater the solution, the more money they are willing to give you.

The Future of Sales
For centuries, the sales model has been focused on placing a solution. Given the complexity of business these days, having the right solution to manage a ‘need’ is not enough to help buyers choose your solution. Buyers live in a very complex world now. With global stakeholders, economic downturns, enlarged decision teams, and an almost limitless number of options – all available at the drop of a hat – competition is far more complex than being addressed by us having a good solution and giving great service. And as a result, we’re having greater difficulty closing sales. We’d like to think it’s ‘the economy, stupid.’ But in reality, the problem is more complex.
Prospects Aren't Really Prospects
Sales has a goal: find a prospect with a need and sell a solution. You can call it anything you want, use all of the fancy terms about serving your client, be a Trusted Advisor or a Relationship Manager, do whatever you can to understand need and make nice. But at the end of the day, your job as a seller is to place your solution. Unfortunately, we do it the long, hard way: we assume - and this is a baseline assumption in the sales industry - that when we notice a ‘need' that our solution can fulfill, we have a prospect. Yet we consistently close 7% of our ‘prospects.' Obviously our assumption that a prospect with a need which our solution can resolve is a specious assumption.
Easy and affordable ways to start a small business
Businesses are born every moment and if you are passionate enough you can start yours too. Just be attentive to all that is going around and I bet, you can easily spot at least one unaddressed problem a day that begs for an answer or a solution, add some enthusiasm, seriousness and focus to it and voila, you are ready to get going.
Ask for Help!
In a recent interview I was asked what I thought was a common thread for all my clients. Without thinking, I answered, "They're ready and willing to ask for help". I knew it was true before, but I hadn't put it into words. Understanding and acknowledging this I can now focus on finding those who are ready to ask for help. That's a great insight. I can simply ask prospects if they are ready to get help.

First Contact: What to Do, Why, and How to Get Better Results
Depending on the selling approach you're using, you are closing between .6% - 7% , regardless of size of solution or industry. These numbers are far lower than they need to be: so long as your primary focus is on making a sale and you focus on needs assessment and solution choice (factors which are the buyer's final considerations), and ignore the change management issues buyers must handle before they choose a solution, you are delaying a close by a factor of 8.
