See How You Can Do Marketing Without Stress I by Nnaeb(m): 5:54am On Sep 07, 2015 |
Sell what you love Make sure you love what you are getting on board to sell. If you take up a marketing job just to keep busy while looking for a better job, u will end up wasting your time. Passion is a key word in marketing and you can’t have passion for what you don’t love. Personally, I don’t love insurance, so I will have a difficult time selling it. But some dudes are also making it big time in insurance because they love it and it is paying off. There are so many products and services to be sold. Look for the one you love and give it your best shot. Product knowledge A broad knowledge of your product is vital to effective selling. Research about the product, find out the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) concerning your product. This will help you master the product at your fingertips. Also, take it a step further by carrying out a research on competing products and services. You must know the advantage they have over yours and the advantage your product has over theirs. That way when you meet with a prospective client, you put your best foot forward by emphasizing on your advantage (USP). Define your market Nigeria is the largest market in Africa and one of the largest in the world. However, it is not everything that will sell in Nigeria. Before you get on board to sell any product, do a personal study of the market and figure out if there is a need for it. Define the market segment and also see how readily available the market is. Is it a product for the Elite class, or low income persons, men or women, kids, youths or adults? Define your market. That something is selling in Lagos does not mean it will sell in Enugu. Draw up a list of prospective buyers Marketing is a field job, yes I concur. But don’t be in a hurry to hit the field without a clear direction and plan. Stay at home or in the office and draw up a list of your prospective buyers. The prospects on the list should be up to 100 at least. Also, include at five high profile prospective clients. Those ones that will give you a major breakthrough if you succeed in selling to one of them. Source for the contacts and phone numbers of the prospects either through google map, v connect, their website or ask for it. Develop a sales script Develop a powerful sales script that will guide your discussion with a prospect. The sales script must cover greeting, personal introduction, product introduction, request for a meeting, and some other things. Some sales consultants can help you develop one if you can’t do it yourself. But it is something you can do. Call and arrange a meeting I have said before that marketing is not all about getting yourself engrossed in activity and dissipating energy. That is why some persons complain about the stress. It’s funny how people just dress up from their homes and start wondering the streets of Lagos aimlessly in the name of marketing. That is not professional. Sit down and call ten prospects in a day to arrange for a meeting. Out of the ten, three persons will grant you an appointment. That way, you can plan your movement and schedules effectively. This will help you conserve energy and cut down on aimless transportation cost. Let’s stop here at the moment. I will complete this article tomorrow. Let me not bore you with long stories cos I really want us to understand everything. Have a great day http://jobtrends.com.ng/revealed-10-secrets-of-effective-selling/ 33 Likes 8 Shares |

You are right OP. I visited my fiancée in school one day, so I saw some little boys, one was selling both fish and pepper, the other goes to house to house to ask if they would buy, low and behold, people were buying. I never likes marketing, but what came to my mind was if those little kids can do it, what stopped people like us from doing it and achieving our aims 2 Likes |

Nice write up bro.my boss once told me "I good sales man can sell sand to a man living in the desert". Am in medical sales. Wch means I face tough crowd of different doctors that think they're smarter than you..the trick is to make them think they're smart and at the same time feel inferior |

Not everyone loves to do !marketing. Especially the very busy businessman who has his hands tied up in various aspects of the business. So to that end, I built up a system by which you can generate LEADS for your business and all you have to do is follow the sales pipeline through. You can visit http://build.com.ng ... That will surely help! |

I doubt if this will help....We all hate marketing Jobs! |
