The sales are an obvious part of a business that sometimes we do not give attention or time they need. We assume that if you implement your business plan, you’ve done the appropriate paperwork, you have an office or a shop and have everything organized as sales should come alone. Sounds too good to be true.
For first-time entrepreneurs or optimistic as sales are achieved as a result of the above, however, this is just the beginning.
What actions have made sales?
Keep in mind that the marketing and advertising drive sales, but not realized. Consider the marketing as “actions” and advertising as “advertising materials” that stimulate buying action.
Here are some marketing actions:
I have personally conducted sales meetings or with my vendors.
I created a database and called my clients to request a meeting.
I provided customer service and my service is not well known. (Www.objetivonegocio.com)
I optimized my site for search engines and get more visibility. (Www.aware.pe)
I have generated interest in the media notes to show the innovative benefits of my product or service.
I have attended events in my area for networking.
I made guerrilla marketing to capture consumer attention on the streets.
I decorated my place and organized to attract customers.
I used my website as a selling tool. (Www.aware.pe)
These are some actions of advertising:
I placed distributing leaflets or outdoor advertising to gain visibility in my area.
I’ve used Google Adwords online advertising / Facebook / Linkedin.
I put ads in magazines or newspapers.
I placed a sign for my local office or visible.
I have brochures distributed among my clients.
I placed an advertisement in automobiles.
There are many actions more shares and sales channels. These are just some examples of which may encourage sales.
The stark reality is that sales only thing that counts is the result, that is, how much to sell. Not how much they like your proposal, those who think buying in the next 3 months, if not generate much income you made this month.
