If you are a new seller or merchant, you need to gain the customer’s trust by offering good offers such as product quality and good competitive price, but if you are an old merchant, the best thing is the distinguished after-sales services, and honesty and credibility must be the basis for the merchant to gain the trust of customers and customers
It's hard to answer that question since it's a bit vague. Are you doing sales demos? Are you doing outbound? what area of your team are you trying to improve? What's your current conversion rate?
I run a phone repair business https://repaircircle.com.au/ and my number 1 strategy on increasing sales is to do marketing on facebook and instagram. Good offers, combined with a strong ad creative design can do you wonders.
Look at your input VS your output. Start tracking which Platform or area are giving you the highest conversion rate and look at why. What strengths are helping you and apply that to your other areas or platforms. Dissect your customers. Always ask yourself why. Why are these people buying, why aren't these people buying. Dig in deep
I love this question. I've heard it hundreds of times and a question that is asked by every owner or CEO each quarter. It's a question that must be asked in every business .
It's also a question I'm ready to take on. But keep in mind any expert sales consultant is going to follow up with many questions of their own.
If this is still a need for you I highly suggest you call one of the experts that have commented or other experienced members of Clarity.
If you would like to brainstorm I would welcome speaking with you and if I don't think I can help I would be sure to direct you to the resource that could.
I welcome you to review my profile to see if some of the solutions I have provided would relate to your sales goals.
Make it a great day!

Whats the best way to find commission sales reps?
This is not my specialty, however, I have been in your position many many times -- maybe this will help. If the product is in-tangible, then look for JV partners on the Internet. Try to find an expert that deals with these JV opportunities (like me). If the product is physical, then look for sales organizations that have networks of sales people across the country. You do the deal with the organization and the independent network of sales people sells your product. It's a sweet setup if you can negotiate a margin that works for everyone. Hope that helps - Cheers - NickNP

Recommended copywriting course?
Writing skills are best learned through practice, critique, and revision. Curriculum is a waste, in my opinion – that is, listening to generalizations about how to write something other than the task at hand. Only the actual words on the page are worth discussing. Not rules. Maybe courses would be worthwhile if they entail a lot of hands-on interaction with a brutally honest, pragmatic instructor. What your team would really learn from, I suspect, is watching someone perform surgery on their copy, pausing to explain why the guts are being ripped out here, why the sutures are stitched up in such and such a manner there, etc. Consider hiring someone to workshop in person with your team. No prearranged abstract curriculum. Just critique.JP

What do (bootstrapped) startups offer to new sales hires? Commission only? What are some good examples to keep people motivated and still survive?
Generally bootstrapped startups should avoid salespeople, for a few reasons: a. they typically can't afford the base and overall comp required to attract sales people who can actually sell / or afford to support them with marketing, management, etc b. it will be very difficult to find the rare person with the right mix of sales and startup DNA along with the critical domain knowledge, consequently the startup is likely to settle c. the founders need to be very involved in the selling and customers will demand it That said, if the plan is still to hire a salesperson, find someone who has demonstrated sales success in startups and is excited by the early stage in company building. Create a comp plan heavily leveraged on sales results (unless you are in an industry where 100% commission is a common practice, would recommend against $0 base as this creates the false impression that your hire isn't passing time with one company while looking for another job with a richer comp plan - you want your rep focussed). Sell the vision and opportunity to be part of a growth story. I have written a several blog posts on hiring sales people into start-ups.

What is the best way to sell to dentists?
Get specific with the "who" of your market (i.e. what kind of dentist? what is their specialty? whom do they serve? demographics and psychographics of both the dentist AND their patients?) And specific with your offer to them. What are you selling? What are they buying? And why do they want it (according to THEM... not you)? Get those factors right and they'll buy from you all day long.DB
