*Excitement sells so be excited!!
*Buyers are going to tell you no and it’s on you to deal with it empathically.
*Isolate objections early in the copy.

*Value always remains long after the price is forgotten.
*Listen carefully to the customer.
*Make the customer smile, if their smiling they are buying.
*Selling is a leadership role, leading and moving people to action.

As we sleepwalk through our marketing efforts someone somewhere in the world is closing business.
These tips for sales tactics keep customers buying today, tomorrow, and for life.
“YOU HAVE TO HAVE THICK SKIN” -TO MAKE SALES IN THE REAL WORLD
Posted by: responseboost on: August 21, 2008
Here’s the deal, you really do have to have thick skin like a rhino to be a salesman.
For the first time ever you will receive copywriting and web business building tools for FREE that create a response.
But before we go into all that, you need to internalize sales tips from a rhino who doesn’t take no for an answer.
Copy-writing is salesmanship in print. If you have never been out there actually selling products and services around the world by phone or face to face then there is a fundamental skill that needs to be addressed before you can even begin to understand the magnitude behind “knowing your prospect”.
What it all boils down to is this, can you see your prospect clearly enough to present the most irresistible benefits to them?
My strong hunch is that a good majority of newbie business builders today never really had the excruciating experience of having to sell products or services by phone or face to face for that matter.
If you think this is something easy it takes passion, dedication, and thick rhino skin to get passed the first 7 no’s and to close the sale on the 8th.
It takes a pretty irresistible offer.
Here’s the good news, you can build you biz online in relatively short period of time if you burn an image of a salesman in your sub-conscious mind forever.
The (classic take over) tools sales managers use on prospects everyday to overcome objections are THE KEYS.
With these sales tools and tips you see directly through the eyes of a salesman who convinces people to open their billfolds and spend hard earned cash for their products time and time again.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” -Mahatma Gandhi
Dear Supporter:
The time has come for your true test in integrity and values..
70,000 Dead in Myanmar; thousands left fighting for life..
Super Violent Cyclone Claims The Lives of Millions Of People
Thousands dead, millions homeless, people everywhere scrambling to get food and water..
This severe crisis has not only shattered lives in Burma but it remains burning a hole in the conscience of good ole everyday folks here in the U.S. Please be advised that our moral obligation is to provide support during times of a global crisis to children and families around the world.
A furious cyclone tears through the country of Burma with winds of 240 km/hr(150 mph) and 3.5 meter (11.48 feet) storm water surges, and killed more than 50,000.
Your donation to this relief effort today takes you right into the real world of the surviving victims. Your good faith effort is rewarded with testimony packed research of how your kindness is changing our world. Ground breaking knowledge of where your blessings are headed keeps you well informed and living a life of satisfaction, full of rewards.
Captivating walk-through reports of Bodies being thrown into rivers by survivors needing help are tragically often reported by CNN and we bring you the scoop.
At the forefront, survival testimonials from adults and children alike plagued with disparity in its rawest form..
“Villagers were totally unaware,” said 38-year-old Khin Khin Myawe, interviewed in the hard-hit delta town of Labutta. “We knew the cyclone was coming but only because the wind was very strong. No local authorities ever came to us with information about how serious the storm was.”
“When the storm came in, the roof of my house was totally gone. The water came in and I was so chilled. I was so scared that my grandmother and my mother would die because of the storm. I don’t want them die rather I would die for them. So I said prayers. I was also worried about my father because he was at the sea then. I haven’t had any news from my father. I was so worried. I just want to live [with] my family together again. The thing that I most desire at the moment is to have my house rebuilt so that our family can live happily together again.” —Age 12
“I was so frightened when I saw the storm and the roaring sound of the storm. I was saying prayers all the time. My house was totally destroyed. I want my house rebuilt again because I don’t want to live with the relatives because they are not like my parents and they also are suffering. Please help us if you can.” —Age 10
“I was so scared. It’s the first time I have had to see such kind of thing. I had to stay in the lap of my mother. I don’t want this kind of accident to happen again. The only thing I want at the moment is to have my house rebuilt again as soon as possible. I want to stay with my family again because I don’t want to stay in the shelter. It is not my home.” —Age 9
Ground breaking knowledge of where your blessings are headed keeps you well informed and living a life of satisfaction full of rewards..
You receive direct and upfront testimony by people caught in this fierce and deadly storm.
”Stop What Your Doing and Take A Stand For Something Right”
The expert coverage by USA TODAY reports: “With hundreds of thousands of people still not receiving aid many of these children will not survive much longer,” the charity said in a statement, children may already be dying as a result of a lack of food.”
Horrifically dab-smack in the middle of the damage incurred by the Cyclone, water supplies have been contaminated and food supplies are running short. With the rainy season playing its role in this incredible disaster the urgency builds for a supply of emergency kits, mosquito nets, and medicine.
“Why Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today”
Back in the middle of the devastation USA TODAY reports that access to regular supplies of Safe Drinking Water and proper sanitation is essential for preventing waterborne diseases like cholera. Malaria and dengue fever outbreaks also will be a major concern in the coming weeks after mosquitoes have time to breed in the deplorable water conditions.
We need to move fast in order to aid this already unfortunate situation. As the days pass this crisis is worsening by the minute.
Myanmar’s media, which has repeatedly broadcast footage of generals reassuring refugees calmly sitting in clean tents, announced Friday that the death toll from Cyclone Nargis had nearly doubled to 78,000 with about 56,000 missing.
In the meantime CNN obtains the video in which the survivor said she walked a trail dotted by dead bodies to get to safety, passing a group of about 1,000 homeless people who slept on the streets.
One survivor reports Trees fall over people,” the survivor said. “There are many dead bodies lying under trees. Yes, all people I saw are crying too much and searching for bodies of loved ones. There is bad smell from dead bodies on the way we came from, according to media reports.
“Your Support Needed For Humanitarian Good”
Families all over have mounted to provide live saving relief to the crisis at hand and we are working overtime to make the world a safer place.
Your donation is critical but the rewards in the end justify the means. You owe it to yourself to get the all the facts up front.
The misfortune for the survivors of this catastrophe are enormous. The good news is that even though there are some obstacles for getting the aid into Myanmar, thousands have already received assistance in shelter, food, water, and medical supplies. Thanks to the courageous efforts by relief workers and the blessed donations provided by the supporters.
Your weekly e-letter keeps you on track, monitoring relief efforts world-wide.
For Families & Children In Crisis,

The writing sample contained below is the most recent article I have written for CDVS.
Why is good customer service important in helping you to be able to collect debt?
Primarily the collector’s mindset should be focused on that of the debtor.
Meaning, by the time the debtors account reaches collection, the debtor has been hounded by collectors attempting to reach them at either their residence or place of employment.
The debtors all ready in a defensive state of mind which ultimately leads to an avoidance of calls and a negative outlook on the entire situation. Most debtors are not bad people they are just normal people caught in a particularly rough situation.
Understanding this, good customer service is the essential to securing repayment of the debt. You may still have to do some arm twisting but in a helpful, constructive, and positive way.
Good customer service consists genuinely of careful LISTENING to the debtors hard-luck. story. This is critical in order to gain the confidence of the person in debt. A seasoned bill collector will take into consideration the debtors monthly expenses versus income as well as thoroughly reviewing a debtors credit profile.
Once a debtor feels comfortable and a good rapport is achieved, then setting terms for repayment, with the least bit of debtor rejection can be accomplished.
At the beginning of any typical collection call, the collector is met with the uttermost resistance. You have to turn the negative into a positive. A simple way to address the debtor such as with a warm “Good morning Mr. _____” being conscientious of voice inflection always works like a charm.
Because the debt being in collection is such a sensitive matter for the debtor, if the wrong approach is taken such as an abrasive or tough to deal with attitude not only will the debtor not pay on the debt, the debtor can resort to filing a complaint with the company itself or the BBB which can ultimately lead to a lawsuit.
Good customer service in any industry proves professionalism to the highest standards. A strong work ethic separates the unsuccessful from the very successful.
In the early 80’s the collection industry in general used a “beat them up” tactic during the process of collecting on the debts. Because of all the lawsuits that were filed, the attorney general’s offices around the states began to fine certain shops and close down collection agencies.
This led to an overall different approach in the industry, forcing collection agencies into stricter compliance. Stricter compliance to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was now in effect throughout the entire collections industry.
This proves that using excellent customer service when securing any debt is not only the most efficient way of collecting the debt, it is also the law. As a bill collector, you must treat your debtor with respect avoiding harassment at all times. This will ensure professionalism on behalf of the collector and the collection agencies reputation will go unharmed.
The golden rule here is to always treat others as you would like to be treated. This will carry you on to success not only in your business matters but in everything you set out to accomplish in life.

This is the sample restaurant letter I wrote for the American Writers and Artist’s Inc.
| Signature Kiss Reveals Quality- An Experience In Ethnic Fare..
Dear Linda,
I know you are a stickler for quality so I would love invite you out for dinner this week, to a breathtaking night of non-stop feasting at its finest. The competition is over when Gol’s scores with a selection of rare wines, guaranteed to be priceless jewels from around the world. Tonight you may choose a delicious vintage from Gol’s 400 bottle wine list.. The salad bar is outstanding – 40 hot and cold trans fat free items make their way to your tableside offering unlimited servings of all kinds of “goodies” such as appetizers like the incredibly soft Brazilian Cheese Bread or the fabulous Prosciutto di Parma. The hot and cold items vary daily which ensures that food arrives to the table fresh and always looking great. Here are some items: -Hearts of Palm -Grilled Plantains -Prosciutto di Parma The place is absolutely charming, when we are ready for meat service, the “gaucho waiters” dressed as Brazilian cowboys in their gaucho outfit: baggy pants, poncho, a facón (large knife), & rebenque (whip), arrive on the scene rotating sizzling skewers and carts to our table, slicing each item individually for us. They will bring us a choice of over 17 scrumptious meats to our table, talk about satisfaction.. It is really all about the taste, the flavor is what kicks off the spree. I’m a pretty big guy and I admit I didn’t get this way by being a wimp when it came down to eating.. A royal inheritance awaits, check out the incredible selection of available meats: -Grilled Shrimp -Leg of Lamb -Rack of Lamb
Other Restaurants Build Down to Price, Where as Gol! Builds Up to Quality The flow of people in the restaurant , the sound, the laughter, the classic feeling you get is all about devouring as much meat as you can humanly devour.. The lights are beautifully set to give you the impression that tonight is your night. Comparing the chewiness of sirloin against the garlic laced chunks of tenderloin or a crusty end of bottom round against a well-marbled slice of New York strip will have your eyes shining like silver dollars.. The beef is perfectly salted for dynamite flavor that send you licking your lips after every single bite. The ultimate focus is on the lip-smacking tastes and unforgettable textures of a slice of the grilled New York strip, medium rare, vs. a chunk of fillet mignon wrapped in bacon. As a meat lover, it is delighting to compare the different cuts of meat. Then again, the fat pink shrimp grilling in their shells, nicely bronzed little chicken legs or a couple of tender baby lamb chops will leave you drooling tremendously. For desert, (please remember that in Brazil it is extremely rude to say how stuffed you are), there is a ridiculously rich chocolate mousse cake, that’s so gooey, it sticks to you mouth like peanut butter. After your meal, you can enjoy a signature cocktail at Gol!’s historic, wood-paneled 73-year-old bar, where the likes of Winston Churchill and Edna St. Vincent Millay held court. You will feel like a princess while secretly planning your next visit.. No wonder why ABC-TV made Gol! The Taste of Brazil their selection as the “Best Steakhouse in Palm Beach County.” Gol! Taste of Brazil won the Wine Spectator’s Award for Excellence. Check out what Scott Joseph from the Orlando Sentinel had to say: “… The quality of the sirloin and rib eye was as good as you’ll find in a high priced steakhouse for much less. The server can usually accommodate requests for rare or medium-rare from the same skewer.” Here’s a post from another raving customer, Rick from Ft. Lauderdale: “ Absolutely fabulous in food, drink and service in a beautiful location. I went on a first date and it helped me to really get to know the woman I was with. We had two bottles of wine called CARO that the owner recommended and I am looking to buy a case. I paid what I would pay for 3 lamb chops anywhere else and had all I could eat of the best food around. Want to go back regularly. It seemed like everyone was having a birthday party in the restaurant, all that singing, what fun! Another Food Lover on 01/28/07 writes: Gol! Is a winner. I’ve been to the restaurant several times with family, friends, kids (even picky eaters), large and small parties, and non-meat eaters who raved about the salad bar and seafood offerings. The wait-staff is top-notch and very, very nice. The owners treat everyone like long lost friends. The kids eat (and you only pay half price)! It’s a wonderful place to dine. So with all that being said, I’ll call you later to set up the time for the reservation. By the way just thought I’d let you know, I called last night to ask about the special and spoke with the owner. He agreed to give me 20% off on Wednesday or Thursday night only. We have to get there at a good time because seating will likely depend on a reservation, these guys are always busy! To cap off the royal treatment Linda, I will be by to pick you up for dinner!
