    Calling all CLOSERS. Need sales advice!

    HOT! 
    I feel like I needed to hear. I tend to overthink a lot, and it's gotten me far but when it comes to "in the moment" situations, I need to let go and go with the flow a little more I think. Great advice, thank you!

    Calling all CLOSERS. Need sales advice!

    HOT! 
    So I've got a meeting tomorrow with my first potential client and I'm not sure how to approach it or how the process goes. It's going to be my first sales meeting (I went for one today but my mentor/boss basically did it for me) and I don't want to seem like I don't know what I'm doing. Do you...

    Thanks! Your sales cycle must take a lot longer if you're selling solar panels, right? And I want to work up to 50 eventually when I get even quicker and better at finding the right leads :)

    Too much ;) lol. UPDATE* Just talked to my mentor today. Said he wanted me to get my hands dirty soon with the actual management of our clients' advertising accounts so that I can start doing the actual work as well as get a real understanding of the work itself (running marketing campaigns)...

    That's funny, I just saw that guy's book last night at the bookstore! I'll have to go and pick it up :p And you're saying your leads are from social media and online platforms essentially? Do you find that easier than finding people through Google or other mediums?

    I'd love some suggestions, haha. It is technically, but he does the work himself and outsources the rest to people in India or the Philippines. That way clients don't have to pay for the receptionists' time, a coffee machine, a big building and all this other stuff (he co-owns an office).

    He must be decent if you're both recommending it, lol. I get the list from a CRM (I believe that's the name of the program they use to put their leads in?) and some from researching businesses online. And no I don't, I just tell them I can show them how to improve it if they want to get more...

    I've test a few different one's but this was definitely the best one so far. None of the others worked at all. I like the idea of making it more personal though. I often feel like as soon as they hear me say "My name is Alex from ___" they're probably thinking "oh great, what are you trying to...

    I figured it was time to give a little update for you guys that have been following me from my last thread (link below) RANT - This Is How Fast Your Boss Can Drop You So long story short, I met with a business owner of a digital marketing/web design start up. We met for an interview and it was...

    Well it's definitely not "quick money". He's already made good money for himself and has lots of clients, but says he doesn't have time to get more since he's busy working so he's hired me to do the selling (online and offline). I'm still getting another part time gig in case I don't make...

    It's ok man, just put the machete down and everything's gonna be ok.. Jk, lmao. Thanks for caring though ;) If it makes you feel better, I'm filing a claim and am 90% sure I will get the money he owes me (according to the ministry of labor anyways).

    Lol I think both of you are right in your own way. My dad always taught me not to take shit from anyone and give them what they deserve. But on the other hand my mom always said "kill them with kindness" and "don't waste your time and energy". What I learned from putting the 2 together is to...

    I'm currently looking for a new job and will most likely have to take anything I can get. I don't really have any useful skills yet, that's why I'm looking for a part time job so I can focus on learning digital marketing skills (wordpress setup, copywriting, social media marketing, etc.) that I...
