We’re going to really dive into the topic of sales this month because we know many of you are looking back on 2012 and looking forward to 2013 with goals in mind. How do you plan on targeting clients and new customers? How do you plan on being your personal best? We have some tips that came right from the horse’s mouth…well, top business execs and popular business blogs of 2012. Want to be a best-seller? Read on:

  • Build on past successes.
  • Focus. As the year goes on and we pile one thing on top of the other, we can lose our priorities and focus.
  • Improve and innovate. Customers demand a better way to do everything and this isn’t unreasonable.
  • Sell solutions, not services or products. Meet specific needs of your clients instead of focusing on specific products only.
  • Demonstrate a drive to learn and listen. Your success depends on your clients success so learn from them and listen to them.
  • Make it easy for your customers. Find ways to make it easy for your customers to choose you- this means making the technology or transitions easier or communicating your value above others.
