How to Sell More
Whether we sell products, services, or both, we are constantly
challenged to sell more. More means expanding or refining our
franchise (read --permission to do business) into other arenas or
going more deeply into our current arenas. Selling more is an easy
concept to grasp. Pick up the phone and reach out to customers and
prospects; respond to incoming inquiries; generate sales. That's
easy. Expanding into other arenas is another matter. What other
arenas? Here are some thoughts: license your products/services in
parts of the world or markets you don't serve and don't want to
serve; sell off certain products/services to prospects who can make
more money from them or who can produce them more efficiently;
discontinue "losing" products/services so you can focus on making
more money from those that produce the greatest profits. If you
have trademarks, patents, and/or, copyrights, consider
merchandising opportunities that compliment your offering.
What can you sell? Let your imagination go wild. There is
probably opportunity there than you imagine and you won't find it
unless you look.
