  1. Make a compelling statement:Be sure to grab the undivided attention of your customer. When speaking to a high level executive, come up with statements that are guaranteed to capture their attention who is looking for a real solution to their issue.

  2. Tell a story: Tell stories because it engages customers and puts the sales message in a context that captures the prospect’s attention. Hence, your prospect can recommend your property when you are not in the room.

  4. Aim higher: Setting goals that are easily achieved can defeat the purpose of goal setting. The desire to do better should be behind any goals that are set. Use goal setting to outline challenges for yourself that encourage towards making a stronger sales impact.

  5. Identify targets: It’s important to first identify and create a list as it prevents you from spending time chasing targets who will do little to help you. Remember, it’s easy to get distracted, so stick to your goals, and be strategic.

  6. Start with small markets: Dominate the small market before moving on to broader market. Your efforts in a constrained market becomes a lot more effective.

  7. When customers leave, find out why: Customers don’t walk away without reason, so get to the heart of why this one left. Conduct a SWOT analysis, assessing why your product or service was no longer perceived as having the best value.

  8. Retain existing customers: Before you decide to pursue new clients you need to look at the customers you already have. To develop new clients, you have to gain their attention and negotiate contracts. You don’t have to do these things to your existing customers as they already know you, and trust you.

  9. Recruit the best: Your Sales and Marketing Professionals, must function as your ‘front line soldiers’ charged with maximizing profitability. You must actively recruit the best and mentor them and create accountability.
