10 Things Bloggers Can Learn From Salespeople

Why on earth should a blogger learn anything from a salesperson? A sales person is someone who rings the doorbell in the dead of the afternoon and bothers people right?

For the most part, yes, the average sales person does get branded as an annoying gnat. However, there are sales people from whom buying something can be entertaining and memorable. These sales people not only make a sale, but create a fantastic impression. Here are 10 things you can learn from such great sales people!

1. They Really Listen

Do you just pitch a product or service without really listening to your potential customer’s needs? A good sales person is not someone who just wants to sell you stuff and make his or her sales average for the day. A good sales person is someone who really listens to you and wants to know about your needs and problems. A good sales person wants to help better your life.

2. They Provide A Great Sale Experience

You must have bought a great many things in your life from salespeople. Some of those transactions must have caused a mute rage in you to pound the salesperson’s head. However, we’re sure you do remember some great, pleasant and even motivating sales experiences. Great sales people know how to create a great experience for you by making you feel at home, taking the time to talk to you, joking with you and cheering up your day.

3. They Establish Great Rapport

Do you go out of your way to make your potential customers feel in synch with you? Do you establish grounds for the same wavelength, creating the notion that you and your customer are alike? This is another great salesperson move. A really great salesperson creates a great rapport with their customers, establishing a common understanding of each other.

4. They Establish Long Term Relationships

A great salesperson does not just make one sale and then ignore their customer. They go out of their way to strive to establish long-term relationships with their prospective customers. They make sure that they ensure their clients’ well being during the long haul. Great salespeople know that their business can flourish only with repeat customers, and therefore they focus on building relationships rather than just achieving numbers.

5. They Don’t Give Up Easily

Great salespeople are tenacious and resilient; they don’t care how many doors are closed on them, they don’t get affected by people who reschedule appointments. They just keep at it, day after day, trying to win over people with newer and better tactics every day. When you hear someone say ‘no’, that’s your cue to keep trying till you make the sale.

6. They Know It Takes Time To Close A Deal

Patience is a skill that great salespeople hone to a battle-hardened edge. All great sales people know it takes time to close a deal; they don’t allow minor refusals to stand in their way or disillusion them. They have the confidence and the patience to wait it out and succeed.

7. They Are Always Closing Deals

Just like successful athletes who absolutely need to win games, successful salespeople absolutely need to close deals. Closing deals is a salesperson’s winning game, something we all understand at a gut level. We all try to win at what we do – whether it is about getting that special date, or that promotion, or get noticed by the boss.

8. They Always Follow Up

Great salespeople don’t just deliver a pitch and sit back on their haunches waiting for you to contact them. They have a finely honed instinct that tells them exactly when and how to follow up. Sales people are always under pressure to deliver and hit the right numbers but they cannot afford to neglect to follow up with their prospects.

9. They Don’t Transfer Their Tension To Prospects

A seasoned and great salesperson is respectful of their prospect. Only really stupid salespeople come across as pushy, aggressive, or disrespectful, showing all their tensions and pressures on the prospect. All salespeople live under pressure but the prospect is not responsible for those. The prospect should only see the suave side of the salesperson and this is what differentiates the mediocre sales people from the really great ones.

10. They Don’t Mind Explaining Product Features Many Times

Not everyone gets it immediately, especially if the product or service needs some level of understanding. An average salesperson will just provide brochures and tutorials and leave it at that, expecting people to use their native intelligence to understand. A great salesperson knows that some people need that additional personal touch and gives it to them. They know how to differentiate between those who need more personal guidance and those who can manage on their own. They make themselves available accordingly.

BEST DESIGN TIPS TO START A MAGAZINE

BE CONSISTENT

Even if your choice is to break every rule, there has to be a logic behind your choices as a designer. Consistency is not about using similar fonts or layouts throughout the publication; it is all about creating your own personal logic and following it.

In fact, today´s designer´s are creating their own fonts to match the tone, look or topic of a page, so, as long as you have a clue, the magazine´s readers will do as well.

MIND YOUR AUDIENCE

The look of a magazine will make it appealing to a certain audience and unappealing to another. When people often think that it is the content that defines the audience and the design not so much, but people see before they stop to read. If your magazine looks like something that wouldn´t interest them, people will look the other way. It is ALL about first impressions, which brings us to the cover.

DOMINATE THE COVER

The cover is the key element of magazine marketing. This is where most of your designing efforts should go. Your cover design has to be aligned with the magazine´s vision, and it has to use a combination of (short) text and images that is striking, smashing, beautiful, modern, shocking, groundbreaking; in short, it has to be DRAMATIC.

Here is a good example of using a combination of text and images that create great drama. Of course, you don´t need war or danger to create drama. Drama can be in a face and a title, drama can be in a combination of a texture and a font and a certain topic. 

Your goal is to have people not being able to look away from your magazine cover. In terms of photography, you should always go for photos that don´t only look good but also tell a story. If it tells only part of an exciting story, people will be compelled to pick up the magazine, in order to get the rest of that story.

MASTER THE CONTENT-DESIGN DYNAMIC

If you get an article of a million words, and you are asked to create a layout, without any chance of reducing the text, chances are, the text will look crammed into the page. Working closely with the editors means negotiating word counts and spaces as you go. Today, the trend is to leave a lot of white space around text; it creates a cleaner look, and it makes articles easier to read.

In order to make the design of the inside pages of your startup magazine flow, you need to master the dynamic between design and content.

DON¨T UNDERESTIMATE PRINTING

Your most fabulous design efforts will be lost, unless the people at there choice knows what they are doing. When you design professionally, every nuance in color shades, every variation in paper counts.

Your safest bet is to advice your employer to hire only the best printing company and then work closely with them during the mockup and proofing phase to ensure optimum quality.

MIND YOUR COLOR SCHEME

The trend today is to use basic colors from the spectrum of light. Basic colors can make a bold statement. 

I love this grayscale example from CHROMATIC magazine. Simple fonts, simple and perfect composition, text that combines with photo to tell a story, some headlines that create mystery and might excite your curiosity, i.e. Lowercase People; all of this elements combine to make a simple yet powerful cover. 

BE CREATIVE

Thinking outside the box always pays. In the example I am showing you, Hungarian designer Miklos Kiss thought more like “inside the bag.” This totally reminded me of Kramer´s idea about a coffee table book that turned into a coffe table on the TV show Seinfeld. In the case of LACK magazine, the concept was executed beautifully. The magazine becomes both an objet d´art with a sleek modern design, and a practical handbag. As a woman, I can totally appreciate this one.

I´m not saying that you have to create magazines that transform into something else; I am only saying that the more you let your imagination fly, the better.

USE FONTS CREATIVELY

To finish up,  an examples of using fonts to your best advantage, also from LACK magazine.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GREAT ILLUSTRATION

This is my last example, also from LACK. The composition, the illustration and the creative use of fonts make for one of the coolest index pages I have ever seen.

As you can see, starting a magazine is no piece of cake, but it can also be one of the most challenging and fulfilling projects a designer can take on.

How to Make your website Qualified for Google Adsense

So, the bug of blogging has bitten you and like every other bloggers available out there, you want to turn your blogging passion into a money making machine. And the shortest route to success is certainly getting your blog qualified for Google Adsense. But this is not as easy s it may sound. Just submitting your blog into Google Adsense is certainly not going to the end of the job. It takes some doing. Some guidelines have to be maintained throughout otherwise the application may run the risk of being rejected. So, lets have a quick look:


Content Guidelines: Before submitting application for Google Adsense, you need to make sure that the content of your website is not violating any guidelines. For say, you blog should not harbor content that is intolerant to some section of the society or overtly violent in nature or adult. Moreover, your blog should not promote illicit drugs, tobacco, prescription drugs, firearm components etc and make sure that you are not making any infringement on others’ intellectual rights. Violation of any of the terms and conditions may lead to rejection of your blog.



Copyrighted Material: Google is very much critical about intellectual rights and copyrighted materials and therefore, you need to be very particular that images, graphics or any other materials like video or audio files you have uploaded onto your website are not taken from any other resource without necessary permission. You can use files or images for the same purpose, as this will not get you into trouble. 


Webmaster Guidelines: Google has set certain quality guidelines for webmasters as well and failing to meet them may lead to rejection of your application. Stuffing of keywords in the codes of the websites or in the content goes against quality guideline. Sites wit little or no original content is certainly not to help your website qualified for Google Adsense account. And above anything else, you should indulge in adding content that is specifically crafted for search engines rather than for general users.   


Fill Up The form correctly: Do not try to play trick with Google while submitting application form. Use your real name, address, phone no etc since the verification is done by real person and not by bots and that means; there are greater chance of being caught. I have had the same problem when I opened my paypal account with an alias and now I have to open a new account with real details. While filling application,, you need to make sure that there is spelling errors as it could lead to rejection.


Easy Navigation: Make sure that your website is easily navigable. Some try to trick the visitors by showing ads as a mean of navigation. This could trigger adsense ban. You should not do anything sneaky with Adsense as they are smart people and have got eyes to hound out anything that seems unnatural.



Be Patience: You should wait at least 5 or 6 months before applying for the adsense. Because you just cannot get qualified with a few posts. You need to have at least 50 posts in your blog otherwise, you application will not have its sheen. And try to grow the fan base of your blog. You blog should have at least 200 to 250 Unique Visits per day, if wish to see blog gets clearance by Google Adsense team.

Many of these tips seem straightforward. The reason why they work is because of the way we scan content. The style of Tweets that perform the best present information in a credible way. Another aspect that makes this style so appealing is that it looks different. These effects may not last once everyone adapts to this new information.

Timeliness
Buffer App increases Twitter impact by over 200%! The simplicity of Buffer is what makes it such a powerful tool. By only tweeting at the most optimal times you increase the likelihood that your network will see and act on them. Buffer schedules your tweets and keeps you from overwhelming your audience with information.

It isn’t surprising that most of the important blogs are using Buffer as an option to share. In one short year Buffer has become a major staple of the blogging community. Expect to see more from them in the future. They have already added Facebook updates to their app.

Promote Others
Focus  on more than yourself. Twitter is a social network. You would be wise to never forget that. You can actually increase the chances of people promoting your content by making a habit of promoting others! Build your relationships and people will seek you out and tweet yours. That act of discovery is what makes Twitter so much fun!

Relationship building is the only way to go with social media. It goes beyond Twitter and Facebook to the heart of your business. If you think that your business exists in a vacuum you are wrong. Learn how to share the spotlight with others and you may find yourself taking center stage.

Why Should You Join Twitter


Are you still waiting to join the Twitter train? Many of the people I speak to still don’t see the point. For me it is the number one tool I use to build my professional network. It has allowed me to reach out to my mentors and build relationships. It also allows me to look for help and is a great research tool.


Why have you joined Twitter? Do you use it as a promotional tool? If not, how do you promote your content?
