How to Sell in Conferences and How to QUIT Smoking
10 06 2013Quitting smoking is easy, doesn’t even require the will-power – how to do it, keep on reading till you’re ready in the end.
Selling in conferences. The most enjoyable part of your career and day – free lunches, coffees and many to connect with at the same frequency. The other days, the script gets longer, the time to connect takes even more longer, the calibre of the other person too could become a challenge for the appointments.
Conferences means lots of cards are exchanged and so many follow ups. The cold is out when calling and following up with these guys, and they are not at all uglier than the rest. So how do we go about pitching them our business..?
Solution 1 – Pitch them without qualifying – that will invite not curious and interested people but an audience that will sooner get aloof from you. Who is so interested in your solutions and pacakges..? Were they ever..? BAD BAD SOLUTION, DOLUTION (Dilute- Solution, you get Diluted and your product gets the Acidic Solution)
Solution 2 – Talk, NOT business, but general topics – that is a good recipe to get you out of the door and never be invited again. If you’re a talkshow host, you’ll probably create a mound out of a general topic to speak about. But does that connect usually with your prospect and your conference contact, probably they don’t even have that time to listen to you and your fluffy stories which reveal your intent. BAD DOLUTION again. (What’s DOLUTION, Read Solution 1 with complete focus again, don’t get jumpy on getting to quitting smoking, that’ll never come until the 3rd installment of this article)
Solution 3 – Listen, Exchange Cards, Go Around, Sell only Confidence – prepare chic taglines for your profession and what you’re good at in public relations. Always listen intently to the other person. Remember, its just the 45 seconds for you to impress. DON’T SELL, simply IMPRESS..!!
Now that is something you can stick to.
Tip 1 – Get cards printed at wholesale rates and quantity, your personality check is primarily reflected from the slick cards. So get down to some serious spending for your special VIP cards to get that very VIP slot for your business.
Tip – 2 – Get suited perfectly. One that kills the ladies and impresses the men to approach you. Follow – GQ and Effortless Gent to get an idea how’s men’s suiting should kill.
Tip – 3 – Add a flair to your style. A little prepped up confidence and well done hairdo will just do the lasting magic with rest of the things falling in place. Your shoes should speak highly of your confidence, it travels downside up. Clean, neat, shiny shoes always entice attention.
Now, HOW TO QUIT SMOKING – Easy.
Commit yourself to rigorous, disciplined and calendar-planned workout series and commit to it like a soldier. Secret is, your mind has to control, or win the control over your body. The nicotine part is done by the body. There will come a time where your body will scream and cry to QUIT it, just QUIT for the eternal slavery.
Chain your body to your mind which is ‘seriously’ committed to a series of bone breaking workouts, your mind will takeover the throne it deserves or else let your mind shift and be placed at your knees, subservient to your protruding bellies and blackened lungs.
See you at the top.

How to Sell to Bigger Clients..? Fighting the Demon-Mafia
24 05 2013Video games have fascinated me. Even today, First Person Shoot games like Medal of Honor Allied Assault is still my passionate addiction. What’s more fascinating are the heroic pursuits of heroes battling larger-than-life demons and monsters, in pursuit of getting their dream heroine, caged and locked in the darkest dungeons, where no ordinary access password works, out of the clutches of the demonic-mafia.
Even then, the lone hero does it – dismantles the castle, crushes the skull of the demon and makes the bosses look minions. So how is it cracked..? Well if its a sick Bollywood flick, then its the curse or the prayer of the ever sicker Bollywood mother left with a breath or two but still survives for the next 3 hours and so does the prayer or curse.
If its a Hollywood flick, then its the staff of Gandalf, the illogical wand of Harry potter, or the inherited powers of the fallen gods. But it does end happily.
Now the same is true when pitching larger-than-life clients and brands for selling your solution and product – what’s the first reaction..? A spine chilling feeling running down with a trickle of sweat, a remorse that you can’t beat the odds and the already installed competitor who enjoys monthly maintenance charges for a solution which is 100 years old.
So how to sell larger clients..? No need to curse the client or its sheer pride of credibility it has earned through the years. Well its the preparation – study the clients, get the email addresses, subscribe to the latest updates, connect on LinkedIn, get introductions, study the events, the showcasing of the models, study the competitors of the client – this helps in creating a stronger business cases. Study your competitors on how they have set their foot in the door.
Allow your business case to be justified with a proportionate and comprehensive analysis of the competitor – this operation should be spread well up to 3 weeks to a month and a half. Once all the homework is set, the challenges, big clients have bigger issues. No one has ever reached and experienced Utopia, so the options of improving are just everywhere. The inches we have, are just everywhere around us (Al Pacino from Any Given Sunday).
So pick up a client, start studying, go back to the University level like Harry Potter, crack your knuckles and start the magic. No demon should then be an impossibility if you’re eyeing the crown.
See you at the top.

FAILED Sales – Lip Service to Relationship Marketing (Building)
3 05 2013May is ON, now the targets are set for you to hit the ground and set the sales rocking..!! Consider that you’re a new hire, 2nd month on the go. Or you could be a ‘traditional’ salesman and a long timer employee but nothing yet on the road of accomplishment coming your way. The run of the mill is again the same. New month but same old, deafening and boring ‘sales’ routine. You hate it, so does your boss..!! You’re NOT fired yet, as you have gained the experience which is expensive to replace in your place.
So now, you’re pitching clients. But wait, do you really know what your client is..? What the priorities are for your client..? What is the work environment of your client..? What is the background of your prospective client..?
Perhaps that client met you on the road and you exchanged cards, if you really did before started to pitch your product or company, people don’t want to hear anymore about companies or products, they’re already living in a tight consumer’s world where water could be scarce but advertising campaigns of splashing are not.
RECIPE OF CERTAIN DEATH – Start pitching even without noticing or knowing what the other client’s wearing. That was a pun but understanding, researching a client requires a deeper level of understanding which breeds greater trust. TRUST brings down the defenses, that is only possible if you invest enough time in building relationship not the SALES CHART first.
So how do you build a relation..? Introduce, exchange cards, FULL STOP..!! Start listening from here – what do they do, what is their organisation, invite your prospect to sell you before you sell to them, understand their work culture, the challenges, the drawbacks, the benefits, the growth standards, aspirations, inspirations. When you listen, a couple of defense line is broken and brought down, but the TRUST is not yet affixed in you, you’re just a spectator yet and no player listens to the spectators, they keep their play on.
Now, you start asking intelligent questions – this builds the channel which brings them to your company’s doorsteps and your products. Ask like what if there was a solution that would help them generate more productivity, more growth, what their (prospect’s) interest is, what is still lacking, what kind of avenues they seek to grow and prosper, financial growth. Start analyzing and suggesting what they should do – here you being their mind programming. With suggestions and advises, they start listening to you now, more defenses GONE..!! Trust replaces.
Once you know they are eager, keep your ears and eyes open to changes – the psychological change is necessary which is not possible when thick bricked walls of FEAR, ill-trust are higher than your anticipation. Know the pain, which is not possible if you’re not emotionally intelligent to unlock it.
Sales is like a date – the perfect one is not the first one or the last one. You invest in everyone of them to get the perfect results.
So start building relationships by asking questions and suggesting help to them to improve. People love sociable people who are occasional salesman. See then your sales rocketing.
