The Beginning... You Ready?

Are you wanting to win customers in this economy? I'm sure you are. I know I always like to have more customers. I wanted to share a few things to make a professional, instead of breaking one.

If you are face-to-face with a prospective client, you want to look good for the role. A sharp dressed salesperson is the first step into winning a customer. First impressions are everything. With that, you want to have a professional briefcase. Leather briefcases are always a fan favorite. I included the site where I shop, because they are the most professional briefcases that I have found.

Your smile, and attitude are important. Your biggest attribute should be your handshake. A firm, welcoming handshake is the best. Be sure to look the person in the eye when you shake hands.

Being audible is big, and so is smiling a lot. Remember, your attitude is the reason for winning a sale at about 90% of the time. Think about this; you don't like a the guy in the drive thru who is rude, right? Well, you are serving the burgers on this one.

Also, stay up on your current events, customers always enjoy a good conversation that isn't just a sales pitch. This could be deciding factor for your sale. Plus, it never hurts to make an extra friend.

One more thing in learning to get customers in your pocket is knowing your product, and sharing every bit of info that your potential customer might need to know.
