How to Become a Sales Superstar

Considering an Online Business?

Employment is a topic that arises constantly in our world. Maybe you're seeking it, or maybe you're enjoying the position you have. Either way, jobs and careers are an essential part of life as we know it. Therefore if we ever lose the one we have, we're typically hustling to grab hold of another one. After all, bills have to be paid and mouths have to be fed.

On a positive note, current times are not so dismal when it comes to employment. In this day and age we all relish options galore. No one is forced to work for a large corporation or "the man" if they prefer not to.

In reality you can start you very own business online if you have the motivation. All you really need to get started is a computer, Internet access and an idea.

Many individuals are making the switch from big companies to private online business opportunities. With cyberspace at your constant beck and call 24/7, it's realistic to assume you can make a decent income from the privacy of your own home.

The fact of the matter is people do it every day. However, it's up to you to decide if an independent business online is the right solution for you. Let me fill you in on a few perks that are commonly enjoyed.

First of all, those who start their own business, whether online or in their home town, generally make more of a profit. This is due to the fact that they're now at the top of the chain. Money is not passed down to them by a higher authority. They make what their business allows them to. Once taxes are extracted, they're left with a higher percentage.

A second bonus of having your own business online is setting your own hours and work load. You soon realize how much you need to work and what deadlines you must meet. This is a wonderful advantage once you get the hang of things.

If you're considering a personal business online, then don't allow anything to stand in your way. You can make an at-home business work if you put fourth the proper time and effort.

It's crucial to remember that once your individual business online is booming, you can never be fired. You are the boss and you decide what's what. That factor alone will keep you motivated and steer you clear of working for "the man" ever again. Find success with your own business, such as a home based travel business. Let the Internet contribute to your dreams and aspirations.

This is the same website linked from your GRN corporate site. Corporate tells me that this site is updated in real time, but it will never have the full GRN inventory. Even the membership site doesn't list the full inventory, and that's a very good problem to have. We have substantially more available properties and weeks than the advertised 5,000, but corporate has decided to take the modest approach.

You should also make use of our demo membership site. Give this domain and login to as many prospects as possible:

SEO Advice Update

As of today I'm back at the number one spot on Yahoo.com for the search term "home based travel business". Type it in to see where I am now.

For a while my number one spot went to number.... well.. I really don't know where it went in Yahoo's search results, because I couldn't find it!

This is really the result of something I already knew: Craigslist and ebay ads are temporary, so any resulting search engine optimization will be temporary.

There are two solutions:

1. Keep renewing your ebay and Craigslist ads
2. Establish permanent links with high ranking websites.

More on Solution 2 later.

GRN, Your Timeshare Alternative

Another SEO Update

I purchased another domain, this time based on the search term "luxury resorts". The domain is http://discountluxuryresorts.biz. I then purchased a classified ad on ebay, and ran another free ad on craigslist as outlined in my previous post. Stay posted for my results.

Really Quick Internet Marketing SEO Training

So you're ready to start selling on the internet, and you're wondering where to start. There is more than enough information on internet marketing online and off line, so I decided to make this a very short read. No fluff, just information. Reading this short article may be the most significant investment you've made for your online business.

What is SEO?

SEO stands for search engine optimization. You want the search engines, like Google and Yahoo! to list your website, so you have to make your website friendly, or optimize it, for the search engines.

Get Linked

If you click around Google for instructions on getting your website listed in their search engine, you will find that Google wants you to have links from other websites to yours. That's the way they like to find out about websites. All of the search engines work the same way. Even brand new websites that have links from very influential and established websites will get listed in the search engines very fast.

"Who Will Give Me a Link?"

So you have a great new website and you're wondering how to get links from other influential and established websites. That's pretty easy. Craigslist.org and ebay.com are among the worlds most influential and established websites. A link from ebay is cheap, and a link from Craigslist is usually free. Before you do either, you should create a press release at PRWeb.com. These are also free or cheap, and produce a lot of fire power when it comes to links.

"How Can I do That?"

If you don't know how to write an ebay or Craigslist ad, it's very easy to learn at either website. PRWeb.com will also show you how to write a simple yet highly effective press release. Assuming you do know how to place ads, here is what I did to get a top listing on Yahoo!

1. I purchased a domain based on a popular search term, "home based travel business". Just use http://inventory.overture.com/ to figure out what terms people are searching for on Yahoo! The domain I chose was YourHomeBasedTravelBusiness.com. I then used this domain for my Global Resorts Network website.


2. Then I wrote a press release and published it with PRWeb.com. For a little extra, PRWeb will let you create links in your press release. If you are good at writing simple and pointed paragraphs, this shouldn't take more than an hour. However, don't worry if it takes you a whole afternoon. If that's what it takes to get your creative juices going, then that's fine. Publish the press release as soon as it's finished.


3. Next, I bought a classified ad on ebay. You really only need to spend $9.95 per month for a classified ad, but I purchased a few marketing options from ebay to give my ad a little more exposure to ebay customers. As far as the search engines go, I really doubt that the $9.95 or enhanced marketing options on ebay make a difference. All the search engines care about are links from established websites. Click the link to see my ebay ad. As you can see from the ebay ad, the words "home based travel business" are linked to the website I'm promoting.

NOTE: Here is the winning formula: the words linking to your domain should be related if not exactly the same as your domain.

4. The next day, my ebay ad appeared on the first page of search results on Google for the term "home based travel business." This was very, very good. I then copied the ad and placed it on Craigslist under the Small Business section. However, this was not a good idea, because now my ebay ad moved to page 2 of the Google search results. My Craigslist ad also appeared on the second page of search results.

Lesson learned: DO NOT use the same ad on ebay and Craigslist. Mix them up a little, just keep the link to your search term and domain intact.

A Little Refinement

Once I changed the Craigslist ad, my ebay ad moved back to the first page for my Google search term after about five days. By the way, the Craigslist ad shows up on page 2 for my Google search term. This is really good news!

Are We There Yet?

Yes, we are there yet, because for a while, my website, YourHomeBasedTravelBusiness.com, appeared on page 1 at the top of the list for the search term 'home based travel business'. Yes! Type it in at Yahoo.com right now to see where it ranks. MSN has put me in the same number one position. Hopefully it hasn't slipped. On the flip side, I think I'm somewhere on page 18 for the same search term on Google, so I'll need to work on getting more links.

Summary

1. Get a domain name related to your business and a popular search term.


2. Build or purchase a website related to the same search term and use it with your domain name


3. Write a press release and publish it immediately with links to your new domain.


4. Write separate ads for ebay and Craigslist, with your search term linked to your domain.


5. Build links until you get a top ranking for your domain.

Use Global Resorts Network for Golf Vacations

Did you know that "golf vacation" is one of the most popular search terms online? It just makes good sense. Why pay $150 a day to golf (that's what it is in the Washington, DC area) when you can get a whole week of luxury accomodations AND golf for only $298 to $699 for the whole week and for the whole family?

Here's how to investigate our golf vacation opportunities:

1. Go to http://TravelAdventure.tv, and click the "Browse..." link in the lower right corner.
2. Enter login: resort, password: lookfor
3. Choose a country, and type in the search term golf resort

Now remember, this is just a partial list of the GRN inventory, but I found 15 really nice golf resorts in the US alone.

My newest distributor, Robert Branscomb, is in the golf vacation and sports promotion business, and he gave me this excellent slant on the GRN package. Check out his website at http://YourGolfVacation.biz, and give him a call if you'd like.

I've attended our online webinar twice, and they are excellent! This is a product specific webinar, which I find very useful for my retail customers as well as affiliates. You can access the GRN webinar signup info. at http://YourVacationBusiness.com by clicking the Conference Calls link at the top of the page. I've also set up a link at http://TravelAdventure.tv/webinar.

Invite as many folks as you can to the webinar. They really are that good.

New GRN Affiliate Site

There's a new affiliate site for Global Resorts Network distributors. You can check out my opportunity site here: http://YourVacationBusiness.com.

This website is designed and managed by Priceless Possibilities, an online business one stop shop for a number of opportunities. I've used them before with my Profit Masters site for the Emerald Passport opportunity, and their service is pretty good.

Their website designs are very eye catching, and as advanced as you'd like to be when it comes to online marketing. Based on my past experience with Priceless Possibilities, and the quality of the new GRN affiliate site, I can honestly recommend them as a good resource.

Get Customers to Sell For You - by Brian Tracy

Why People Buy
Fully 84 percent of sales in America take place as the result of word-of-mouth advertising. Some of the most important sales promotion sales activities are those that take place between customers and prospects, between friends and colleagues, in the form of advice and recommendations on what to buy, or not buy, and who to buy from.

Join the Top 10%
The only way that you can be among the top ten percent of salespeople in your industry is by having your existing customers selling for you on every occasion. Because of the importance of mega-credibility in selling, your customers must be happy to open doors to new customers for you wherever they go.

Never Prospect Again
All top salespeople eventually reach the point where they seldom have to prospect because their customers do much of their selling for them. When you live your life consistent with your personal and business mission statements, both fitting together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, your sales career will soar, as will your sales results and your earnings.

Be Clear About Who You Are
One important point with regard to vision, values and mission statements: be gentle with yourself. It has taken you your whole life to become the person you are today. If you are like everyone else, you are not perfect. You have lots of room to grow and improve. There are many changes that you can make in your character and personality in the course of becoming the excellent human being that you aspire to. But change in your personality will not come easily, and it won't come overnight. You must be patient.

Persist Until Your Succeed
The reason that people grow and become better and better over the course of time, is because they persist gently in the direction of their goals and dreams. They don't expect overnight transformations. When they don't see results immediately, they don't get discouraged. They just keep on keeping on. And you must do the same.

Put Your Ideas Into Action
Once you have a clear idea of the person you want to be and the kind of life and career you want to create, just take the first step. Read your mission statements every day as you go about your activities, think of the different ways that you could practice the virtues and qualities that you are in the process of incorporating into your own personality.

Remember, it is only your actions with regard to other people that really demonstrate the kind of person you have become. And if you persist long enough, you will eventually shape yourself into the exact person that you have imagined.

Action Exercises
First, treat every customer as if he is going to be a great source of word-of-mouth advertising for you. Remember that every person knows about 300 other people.

Second, resolve to become better and better in your dealings with others but be gentle with yourself. Behave every day in every way the best you can be and you will be sure to get results.
