Up to 1,000 custom data fields in a wide range of field formats. My background is in the electric sign business which is a custom manufacturing industry. Thank you and good selling! The post Customizing Nimble CRM for the Signage Industry [Video] appeared first on Adaptive BusinessServices.
I took about 6 months off to plan my next moves and came to the decision that I wanted to go back to selling only which was something that I had not done in a great deal of time. Without a doubt, electric signage was my passion as an industry so this is the area that I went back to. No exaggeration. . I joined a leads group.
One of the techniques often discussed in selling is that of creating a sense of urgency in order to move a client from the thinking to the acting stage. I don’t much care for the term “creating” as it implies some sort of artificial emergency that is conjured up by the salesperson in order to close the sale. Now add them up.
I had spent a part of 2022 trying to break into electric signage (my background as an owner and a manager) as a vertical market for my consulting services. Being persistent, I’m not giving up on that market, at least not yet. Hopefully, I can rely on pure selling instead. Not even one sale. Assess, adjust, adapt.
While we can’t cover every aspect of selling in three simple steps, these are the critical ones. These 3 steps are the glue that holds the selling process together and they are repeatedly deployed throughout the sales cycle. When should I follow-up again? My insurance guy, Bruce, comes to mind. Are they struggling for an answer?
My background happens to be in the electric sign industry and I will be introducing a series of posts on this site that relate directly to that market. However, the principles discussed will be applicable to any business! Everybody sells – Think about referrals from other team members. I was the go-fer.
In an earlier article I spoke a bit about returning to my roots … selling. My roots also include the industry that I still consider to be the highlight of my almost 45 year B2B sales and management career … signage and, starting today, we are offering specialized sign sales services to this market segment. Big news today! Stay tuned!
The course ended up being a total and abysmal failure. However, everything, videos and documents that were associated with that course were backed up on my Google Drive. My first eBook was called “Focused Social Selling”. The post Multi-Purposed Projects appeared first on Adaptive BusinessServices.
My background happens to be in the electric sign industry and I will be introducing a series of posts on this site that relate directly to that market. However, the principles discussed will be applicable to any business! You simply must have certain tools and knowledge in place if you are going to maximize your selling potential.
I was going to operate as a quasi-independent sales contractor in the electric sign industry. I told the company president that the deal would be … “Pay me if I sell something. This meant that I would need to offer a suite of services in addition to a good lunch. Boise appeared first on Adaptive BusinessServices.
In an earlier post, I compared selling to learning to play the guitar. However, I must say that playing an electric guitar has proved to be much more complex and difficult than learning to sell ever was. When you learn to play the guitar, electric or otherwise, you must master notes (reading music and/or tabs) as well as chords.
I had played around with guitars a few times growing up but I never really learned to play. My preference is electric guitars. I’d like to sell a couple of guitars and amps. I don’t need to sell them and, who knows, someday I may even like them. Several years ago now, I decided that I needed a hobby. There it is!
Let me say that the world of electric guitars is far more complex than I had ever envisioned. And, if we are talking about opportunities , let’s apply this to selling. As I’m turning 65 this year, I had probably best get busy. Selling is a tough business. I now find myself wading through it all.
One night, I got up in the middle of a class and I walked out. I did like selling and merchandising. I still liked selling and thus I began my pursuit of an outside sales opportunity. They got me out of Los Angeles and up here to Boise. So, I did the obvious. I never even went back to cancel my classes. I was done.
Later, as my business began to morph, that site was repurposed to supporting our leads group and my writing focus was redirected to this site. Well, I’m mixing it up again! We might actually end up with 10 steps or maybe even 20. Would you rather make cold calls or follow-up on a referral? Since NetWorks!
Some of the listed services might perplex you, as well. For example, there are lead generation companies that provide accounting, corporate IT training, custom software development, electrical engineering, film services, privacy shield notice, technical support, etc. Look up the case studies ( usually placed on the website ).
Selling is based on creating relationships. Lasting relationships = repeat business and referrals. You will first want to identify those who are most likely to do business with you or to refer you to those who will. These actions will clean up your newsfeeds and, once again, allow you to focus.
