What makes a good sales person and how do I find products to sell?
If you are going to do sales for yourself or another company from home - you need
to have a lot of discipline. Picking up the phone, time and time again
to pitch the same product or service takes a certain type of person. The people
whom are successful at doing this have a discipline to stay focused on the task at hand even if it becomes repetitive.
And, having that discipline is easier if you truly believe in the product or
service you are selling.
You can make a lot of money selling, but you need to be able to pick up the phone time and time again
until you find a customer whom is ready to buy.
As for how you find something to sell; there are many avenues to go down.
Affiliate marketing - this is a simple way on the web to sell another companies products, and get paid a commission per sale. Companies like
Amazon.com or Ebay will pay you for selling any of their products. There are also affiliate networks such as Cj.com or Linkshare which
will give you access to thousands of companies that will pay you to sell their product. So, if you have a website or a blog, it
is easy to get products to sell
Buying wholesale - If you have a retail store or a place to sell from, you will want to buy your products in wholesale. The key is to buy products that
will indeed sell and customers will be interested in. If you can join a buying group, it can help to bring the cost down
as wholesales often give volume discounts. Finally, one of the best place places to buy wholesale is at a trade show. Going to trade shows can help you
learn a lot about the product you are selling, and you can seek out multiple sellers to see can offer you the best product and pricing
Drop shipping - Drop shipping allows you to simply send orders directly to the wholesaler. So, via this method, you never have to worry about having inventory
or delivering the product to the customer - all you have to do is sell a product and forward the offer to the wholesaler or manufacturer
Multi level marketing - This allows you to not only sell a product but also get paid by referring others to sell the same product. You must be careful with multi level marketing as some programs don't work very well and you often have to pay up front to get started
