Without revenue, a sale cannot be made. However, making a sale is not all about the money, and it is a salesperson's duty to overcome their prospect's money problem and be prepared for what objections are thrown their way.

In copywriting, there’s an old adage that states the purpose of your first line of copy is to compel people to read your second line of copy. In web design, the same principle applies. But instead of crafting a compelling first line of copy, you need to design gripping website content that sits above the fold. Above the fold content is what your visitors see right when they land on your website.

I’ve been having an email conversation with a colleague about, “Why are sales people so product focused in their sales outreach?” We all know, at least I hope we do, that focusing on the customer, their issues/opportunities, and how we help them achieve their goals, is much more effective than pitching our products.

Anyone can start a business. Fill out a few forms. Get the necessary permits or licenses. Advertise in some way, shape, or form. Running a successful business, though, is an entirely different story. For example, in the United States roughly 9% of businesses both new and old close each year. On the flip side, only 8% are opened. We're losing more than we're gaining for the first time since those statistics have been tracked, and the crossover coincided with the recession of 2007-2009.
