10 Hints to Enhance Your Business Sales Execution 2018 |
No matter what industry you’re in, what worked well a few years ago isn’t good enough today. This is no time for trial and error or order taking; this is a time to sell, make sales and use proper sales promotion techniques. Here are some basic steps you can take to improve your sales performance, reduce your cost of selling, and ensure your survival.
1. Clarify your mission.
Begin by understanding your business niche. What do you do best? Who needs what you do? How do you best approach these prospects? How much are they willing to pay? If these questions are not answered easily, campaign at the top for clarity and vision.
2. Break the mission into specific goals.
Write down the activity goals (calls per day, proposals per month, referrals per call, etc.) that you can control. Set results goals (sales per month, amount per sale, profit per sale, etc.) to measure your progress, and track them closely. Increase your activity and measure the results. Goals focus your attention and energize your action.
3. Sell to customer needs.
Always assume your prospects will buy only what they need. How can you convince them of that need? Emphasize the features of your product or service that reduce costs and solve problems for the customer. Sometimes you can reposition your wares. For example, you sold wool uniforms for their look and feel; now stress wool’s durability and lasting value. Be creative in your sales and marketing.
4. Create and maintain favorable attention.
Effective marketing, referrals, strong sales skills, and strategic questions are the keys to creating favorable attention. Diligent follow-through and above-and-beyond customer service are the keys to maintaining it.
5. Sell on purpose.
Know both what to do and why you’re doing it at every step along the way. Who are you targeting and why? What are you going to tell them and why? What are you going to ask them and why? What is your proposal going to look like and why? When are you going to ask for the order? If you don’t feel sure of yourself at every step of the selling process, get some training or guidance.
6. Ask, listen, and act.
Better than any others, these three words summarize success in sales. Your questions must be creative, planned, relevant, and direct. Your listening skills must be highly developed. You must respond and take action that proves that you listened to the customer and want the sale.
7. Take the responsibility but not the credit.
Realize that you are the team leader. The company looks to you for direction and supports your effort. To build a strong support team willing to go the extra mile when you need it, give your team the credit for everything that goes right, and take the blame when it goes wrong.
8. Work on the basics.
Even the best of the best have room for improvement. Make a decision to improve your weaknesses, and set goals to force yourself to do the things you don’t like to do. Be more creative in your prospecting, fact finding, and presentation skills. Imagine the perfect salesperson and compare yourself to the ideal.
9. Develop your attitude.
Your attitude is controllable. Conquer your fears. Change the beliefs that limit your success. Your thought habits control your commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, resilience, happiness, and confidence. Be aware of them, decide which ones are unproductive, and then make a commitment to change. With time and effort, you can become the person you want to be.
10. Maximize your time.
Focus on your goals. Test every activity for its importance and urgency. Create an ideal schedule, and test your actual time use against it daily. Remember, just one hour a day used more productively adds up to more than six extra weeks of productive time a year.

blog traffic |
How to increase blog traffic is a topic that basically all bloggers should learn more about. Here’s what I mean: Given the growth in recent years, there are probably more than 250 million blogs online right now.
Of those, only around 50% of all blog posts get more than 8 shares.
Even 42% of professionally marketed blog posts receive less than 10 interactions!
And it looks like less than 1% of articles hit 1000 shares.
But I’ll let you in on a little secret…
Most people, even professionals, really suck at marketing their posts. They just aren’t taking the right steps or building the right relationships.
Which is why I’m writing this post.
You’re about to learn how to increase blog traffic in 2 straightforward steps. Let’s get started.
How to Increase Blog Traffic: Two Strategies You Need to Follow
I’ll begin with a quick overview of the strategies, then we’ll break them down further – step by step.
Here they are:
- The Long-Term Game: SEO
- Sharing on Social Media (The Right Way)
If you’re ready to start getting real blog traffic, real fast, then keep reading. You won’t be disappointed.
Strategy #1: Start With SEO
If you’re starting a blog, every single blog post you write should have a keyword in mind.
Yes, there are exceptions – like writing a news piece that’s only pertinent because of some event or writing an update about your services – but for the most part, you want tooptimize every post around a keyword.
There are a few reasons for this:
- SEO takes a while, so if you’re optimized from the start, you’ll get there faster.
- Organic traffic is at the top of the list of marketing channels on the web, being responsible for hundreds of thousands of visitors to top blogs in every niche.
- There’s no reason not to do it. As long as you’re not keyword stuffing, you’ll benefit in the long run and eventually learn how to increase blog traffic.
It’s not super difficult, either. Some people even believe (myself included) that SEO is still low-hanging fruit for many bloggers. It’s because SEO seems complicated, so most people avoid it – lessening the competition.
Let me break it down really quickly, and give you some resources to get started:
1. SEO starts with keyword research.
Obviously, if you want to rank on Google, you need to know what keyword you want to rank for. I’ve written extensively about how to find great keywords before. But it pretty much comes down to using the right tools:
- Ahrefs (paid tool) to spy on competitor’s keywords.
- Google Keyword Planner (free) to find related keywords for a seed keyword.
Just take a seed keyword (such as “low carb recipes” if that’s what you write about) and plug it in one of the tools. You can also google that keyword and look at the autofill and related searches at the bottom of the page:
Then, take all those related keywords and plug them into one of the keyword research tools above. When you find one with a low keyword difficulty, create a post around that topic, including your primary keyword and its related keywords. This is your first step to learning how to increase blog traffic.
If you’re using GKP, you can get a rough idea of the difficulty based on the domain authority (DA) of the search results when you Google that keyword. You can find DA withMoz Open Site Explorer. As a rule of thumb, if a lot of the posts have a DA of over 40 or 50, it’s probably going to be tough to outrank them. But using Ahrefs or SEMrush will give you a better picture.
2. Once you’ve written a post, optimize it for your target keyword.
Optimizing a page for a certain keyword is called on-page SIEO. It’s actually pretty simple.
3. For maximum results, build some links.
Link-building is a major part of SEO these days and a crucial element to learning how to increase blog traffic – plus, the #1 reason SEO is a low-hanging fruit. Most people simply skip this step entirely.
Strategy #2: Do social media the right way.
Most people are using social media as a platform to push out their content. This is completely, 100% wrong!
Gary Vee, one of the world’s most well-known social media marketing experts, believes in the “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook” method. In other words, you need to put out at least three posts or updates that are completely free value to your followers before trying to get anything in return.
Involve your community in your blog content.
Link to other blogger’s content, get influencers to give you quotes to include in your posts and share other people’s content. When you do, tag them in it – and make them look really friggin good. Compliment their work and drop thoughtful insights within your post.
Get involved in social media groups.
There are Facebook groups for every niche out there. You also have Google+ communities, LinkedIn groups, and Twitter chats.

| Fela’s influence of Afrobeat stretches beyond Africa into distant lands 20 years after |
Here are ten quotes from the legend, Fela Kuti:
1. About music, he said: “Music is the weapon. Music is the weapon of the future.”
2. To the military and law enforcement methods, he sang: “Zombie, oh, zombie, Zombie no go go unless you tell am to go, Zombie no go stop unless you tell am to stop. No brake, no jam, no sense.”
3. On his frustration of the oppression of Nigerians, he said: “My people are scared of the air around them, they always have an excuse not to fight for freedom.”
4. On Nigerians’ suffering at the expense of corrupt politicians and polotical leaders, he sang: “My people dey shuffering and smiling, everyday na the same thing. Suffer, suffer for world, enjoy for heaven.”
5. On religion and spirituality, he said: “To be spiritual is not by praying and going to church. Spiritualism is the understanding of the universe so that it can be a better place to live in.”
6. On the play titled ‘A fool at 40’, Fela once said: “They say a fool at 40’s a fool forever. I won’t say that to my brother. Change if you’re a fool at 20/30. Don’t wait until u’re 40.”
7. To black women who bleached their skin, he sang: “Yellow fever, you dey bleach o, you dey bleach, ugly thing. Who say you fine? Na lie.”
8. In “Water no get enemy”, Fela sang: “Water e no get enemy. If you fight am unless you wan die. I dey talk of black power.”
9. On fear, Fela said: “I refuse to live my life in fear…The secret to life is to have no fear.”
10. Lastly, on death, Fela said: “I hold death in my pouch, I cannot die.”

Fela lives on!

| When is Tax Free Weekend 2017 ? |
As the first day of school approaches, many are looking to circle the dates of Tax Free Weekend on the calendar.
In Texas, the Sales Tax Holiday will take place Friday, August 11, Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13. This is later than other states, which hold their weekend one week earlier.
According to the Texas comptroller website, qualifying items priced less than $100 are exempt from taxes. This includes items purchased online, by telephone or mail.
Google might kill URLs in mobile search and ruin things for everyone

| Google might kill URLs in mobile search and ruin things for everyone |
Our own Napier Lopez spotted an odd change in Google’s search service onAndroid today: search results don’t include URLs like they used to. Instead, they only display the page’s title, a thumbnail of a featured image from the site, and a blurb.
It isn’t clear if Google is merely running a test or gradually rolling out a change. But it’s hard to see how this helps anyone, besides making the interface a bit cleaner. The company also seems to be testing another way of displaying URLs and AMP badges.
I’m not a fan of the new experiment. For users, it becomes more difficult to figure out which site they’re be directed to when they tap on a result. That’s annoying if you roughly know where you want to go, and only need help finding the right page.
There’s a chance that webmasters will lose out on traffic from those people who are looking for their sites specifically.
The move might be driven by a belief that SEO and Google’s indexing are now good enough to accurately point people to the best search results without displaying URLs, but it seems like a premature step at this point, especially if Google can’t figure out a better way to tell you what site you’re heading to.
We’ve contacted Google to learn more and will update this post if there’s a response
