Top 7 Ways to Increase Sales Regardless of the Economy By Leanne Hoagland-Smith             Has the economy put your sales into a tailspin? Here are 7 ways to reverse those dismal sales and put more dollars into your bank account. #1 - Track your progress - Until you know where you are, what you need to increase sales and your current sales results, it is difficult to increase sales. Return to your sales action plan located within your business strategic action plan. If you do not have one, how is that working for you? Research says that only 1 out of 10 people will change. Will you be one of the 10 who changes or 9 out of the 10 who stay where they are, currently in a fetal position suffering from the Ain't It Awful Virus? #2 - Know your numbers - Just as you know what 10x10 equals, you should have the same memory recall when it comes to your sales numbers. How many contacts do you make before an appointment is scheduled? How many appointments lead to actual opportunities to present your case? How many presentations lead to an actually earned sale? How many delighted and loyal customers refer new customers to you? Knowing you numbers is a sales skill. I#3 - Increase your current focused actions by 10% - What would happen if you increased your current actions by 10%? If you know your numbers (see Top Way #2), you would then know that you only had to make 10 more calls to secure one new client. #4 - Reconnect with all customers 30 to 60 days - Your existing customers are your greatest pool of profitability and referrals.
