Diva Sales Tips

Sooooooo – it’s December and you are getting ready to dive into the eggnog and butter fudge.

I have a quick little reminder for you today.  (You can even read this while devouring your shortbread cookie!)

How Are You Making Money In January, February and March?

I hope you’ve appled what I’ve taught you.

You need to be selling 3 months in advance lady (at the bare minimum).

So book 60 minutes to sit down and really take a good, hard look at what is coming up for you in the next 3 months.

Then you can hit the ground running in January and even book a few appointments NOW for the new year.

So there.  Now back to your eggnog.

Think about ALL of your clients for one moment.

Then think of ALL your suppliers.

Which clients and suppliers make you CRINGE each and every time you think about them?

 YOU KNOW THE ONES I’M TALKING ABOUT

In fact, because I have Sales Diva ESP, I know as you were reading this – SOMEONE or SOMETHING that makes you CRINGE just popped into your head.

Told you!

A word of Sales Diva advice? They’ve GOT TO GO!!

Listen Lady.

You’ve put too much money, energy, sweat, tears, hard work and sleepless nights to work with anyone who makes you cringe.

So find an alternative.

Get creative. 

You’re NOT TRAPPED in any way, shape or form.

 So there.

Love from your Bossy Sales Diva,

Kim

As many of you are aware, Cidnee Stephen and I are finalists to be part of a new national television show on the W Network in 2009.   

They have “wittled us” down from over 400 to 20 and now the top 6 will make the cut!   

                                But we can’t do this without you.  

Our second and final video was just launched this morning, so we would sure love to get our rating back up to 5 stars!

Twitter and women entrepreneurs – sounds like a strange combination doesn’t it?

Because I’m a curious Sales Diva, I looked up the definition of TWITTER.

Twitter:

-verb (used without object)

-noun

-verb (used with object)

Twitter may be about light and rapid chatter of trivial things but the IMPACT of twittering for your business cannot be ignored.

I recently interviewed The Blog Squad on my Prosperity Cafe and Denise Wakeman said ” Twitter is bringing in 50% of our traffic“…now I don’t know about YOU – but 50% of your traffic is AMAZING!

To see an example of what a Twitter post looks like – sign up for mine.   http://twitter.com/salesdiva

I dive in and offer a few lines about what’s happening with me on both a personal and business level.

Here’s what Maureen just sent me:

“I really appreciate the quality of your posts on twitter. In the few days I’ve been following you, I’ve encouraged several folks in my world to check you out. You have sales wisdom outside just the Diva space as well!”

Regards,

Maureen at www.mindtimegroup.com

 It’s actually quite fun and the traffic it is generating to my site can’t be denied!

Now that’s something to SING ABOUT.

I’m a big Yo-Yo Ma fan. Check out his site at www.yo-yoma.com

I’m also a big Starbucks fan.

So imagine my delight when I noticed a box of cards at Starbucks (and you take one for free) which has a code on the back.  This code takes you to www.itunes.ca  (Canadian)

And I love this!  The code allows you to listen to a Pick of The Week – and this week it was Yo-Yo Ma with Alison Krauss.

 So why do I love this idea?

1. Well – it makes people love Starbucks EVEN MORE as they get a free gift. 

2. It also has customers looking for the Pick of The Week card for artists that they may have never heard of before!

3. And on www.itunes.ca – it creates new users…and of course the artists are thrilled as it is another form of exposure and promotion for them…which usually leads to more sales!

3 companies – Starbucks, itunes and the artist – all giving a sample – which helps each other.

 So my Diva Dare to you is….

How could you use this idea in YOUR BUSINESS? 

How could you align with 2 other businesses (and don’t be giving cheesy 10% off coupons either – GAG)

Something to think about lady.

Your Bossy Sales Diva,

Kim

If you’re looking for sales tips -and I KNOW you are lady – then you will love this quote by Anais Nin.

 ” Good things happen to those who hustle.”

You want more sales? More customers? More success?

I suggest you put a WIGGLE IN IT and get moving!  Because realllllly – you’ve been procrastinating on SO MUCH lately you’re starting to grow moss.

So there.

 Love From Your Sales Diva,
