Should it appear you are experiencing unstable selling, it’s wise to review what is in place and how to improve the process. An all-too-familiar approach offering a ‘golden opportunity’ appears to be in vogue, but it’s the wrong one for earning a returning and referring clientele—defining the Smooth Sale. If anything, these company types are experiencing high waves and rocky sailing, not to mention the possibility of capsizing. Underlying the theme of how these companies operate is the worst approach of all, as it includes not being truthful.
The Career Journey
When we reach the age to acquire the job we desire, hope and a vision for being the best we may be are within us. But sadly, many are stopped in their tracks due to a lack of prior experience. The situation requires practical communication skills that also apply to sales.
The first steps are always challenging. Often, one feels mistreated, and the idea of quitting quickly comes to mind. But to move past the upsets to reach the desired destination, it takes fortitude and strength to know you can and will do whatever it takes to make it happen – the qualifier is integrity.
Long ago, at the beginning of my career, I was astonished to realize that secretarial work or teaching were the only choices available for female college graduates. My question was, ‘Why did I go to college if I can’t get a better job?’
Refusing to give in to the mode of thinking, a friend and I created a party-giving business. Being ahead of our time, we received incredible publicity from well-known media. Aside from the attention received, it pains me to receive ongoing offers of ‘publicity,’ but the companies want substantial fees to proceed. Accordingly, I view these offers as advertising, not publicity, lacking truth.
Yesterday vs. Today
It’s ironic that companies today striving to feature people and businesses in their media miss the boat with numerous essential techniques, including the following:
- Following the crowd instead of creating a standout brand
- Misleading verbiage usage
- A lack of proper business growth strategies
These issues invite distrust. Companies need to consider what it takes to build a proper business model. Finally, someone confided in why they request money from those they ‘publicize’ – to cover their costs. These publicity outlets must realize that’s not the proper way to operate or create a reputable brand or acquire clientele.
Business Growth Strategies
Building a company is challenging. It’s critical to communicate in a manner that earns respect and treats people as unique human beings, as everyone thinks differently. Relationship building is vital, and asking questions upfront rather than hammering a sale is essential.
Larger companies, particularly those specializing in media, will do well to acquire sponsors, ongoing advertisers, and new subscribers by providing the clientele with the information they desire. Collaborative efforts can provide more robust outreach and applause from their audiences.
Create Trust
If these companies want money from individuals, they should offer paid advertising opportunities. But if they genuinely want to honor someone for their work, the outreach performs best with free and actual publicity. Proper attention helps spread genuine respect for the company, leading to business growth, new exciting ventures, and client loyalty – the best reward!
Encourage staff, peers, partners, and clientele to offer feedback and new ideas to strengthen your offerings and resolve to do your best. By working in the spirit of the greater good, including everyone who encounters you, plus global possibilities, success will likely be yours. And when it seems celebration is in order, ensure you include the people who helped you achieve your desires and more.
Conclusion:
When we earn respect for our business methods and begin to receive referrals, we know that we are doing our job and growing our business correctly. Management’s goal is to model for staff, and the executives’ goal is to model for everyone in their employ and the public to earn a highly admirable status in their industry.
