Sales & Marketing 30 yr Pro
It has amazed me that every facet of Business has been automated but not the Sales & Marketing process. Accounting, WordProcessing, Inventory Control, Shopping Carts, etc.
The actual Sales & Marketing process has not been automated to any degree. Now one can argue that Autoresponders, CRM, and people "touting Systems" Automate it but not really for if they did I'm sure there would be a lot more people who would be Promoting and Marketing these Automated Sales & Marketing "Niches".
Although I've reviewed most (I say most) of the Internet Marketing principles of "Relationship Marketing", "Attraction Marketing" etc. nothing new is under the Sun - One still has to "Close the Sale" and the same principles of the Sales Cycle are style part of the process and they are
1. Prospecting
2. Introduction
3. Qualifying
4. Presentation
5. Closing
Needless to say much of the preceding has been "dressed up differently" with the New Internet Marketing Techniques but when it boils down to it's common denominator one has to have "skills in each of the preceding areas in order to be successful.
I will discuss How some of these New Internet Tips & Techniques boils down to the preceding list and however one wants to "Mask it" Sales & Marketing will always boil down to a person honing the preceding Skills in order to be successful!
