I'm always looking for ways to find prospects in unorthodox ways. hal@halwarfield.com (Hal Warfield) Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/article/articles/775/1/How-to-Start-a-Home-Based-Information-Marketing-Business--Go-From-Zero-to-1M-in-11-Months/Page1.html Grow a profitable million-dollar information marketing business...

What we can do is practice relationship marketing with people in our sphere of influence to increase our own business sales. karen@macgraphics.net (Karen Saunders) Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/article/articles/766/1/3-Simple-Steps-for-Gathering-Effective-Testimonials/Page1.html Testimonials are an awesome way to boost your sales and grow your bottom line.

Chances are, if you're not reaching out to reporters on a fairly regular basis they are not going to reach out to you when they need help. kelly@kellyrobbinsllc.com (Kelly Robbins) Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/article/articles/737/1/Sales-Effectiveness-Lesson---Learn-the-Value-of-your-Value-Proposition/Page1.html I work with many business owners and selling professionals. When I ask them what they do they immediately rush into their title. Each states, “I am the President of a Bank”, “I am a Consultant”, “and I am a Professional Speaker”. If I were a client and heard this I immediately state, “So What”? Professionals today refrain from their titles and occupations in the service business and speak with the reply to “So What”? The method for doing so is known as a Value Proposition. drew@drewstevensconsulting.com (Drew Stevens PhD) Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/article/articles/713/1/Manage-Key-Accounts-As-If-They-Were-Key/Page1.html Most companies have special treatment for "key accounts." Often these customers get discounts, dedicated salespeople or other benefits for being a key account. Increasingly, however, companies have encountered difficulties with such programs. The difficulties have come from treating too many customers as key accounts. In many cases, the marketing and sales departments were understaffed to deliver the prescribed benefits. Make sure that your key accounts are being treated as well as they deserve, especially in today's economy. chris@stiehlworks.com (Chris Stiehl) Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/article/articles/703/1/Upgrading-Your-Online-Shopping-Cart--31-Benefits-Your-Next-Shopping-Cart-Should-Offer/Page1.html Are you thinking about upgrading your shopping cart?  Here are things to look for when choosing your next Online Shopping Cart danjanal@yahoo.com (Dan Janal) Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400
