I have just visited Adam Khoo web site and are fire up with his latest post on “Don’t like to sell?  You will never be rich!”

Adam is spot on!  Everything in life is a sales transaction.  That’s where money flow.  Once you stop that transaction, cashflow stop and moneys are just mere useless paper.

Sometime, you can hear salesman dragging himself back to office claiming that today is a bad day.. that there are no sales call.

I can only tell you that this salesman is just not proficient in his job, period.

There are no such thing as ‘NO sales call’.  A sales is made on every call you made.  Either you sell your client some stock, or he sells you on a reason he can’t buy from you.  Either way, a sales is made.

It’s just a matter of whether you are in the winning or losing sales position, that’s all.

Selling is *freaking* important to your success.  Nothing happen to your cashflow every month until a sales take place.

If you are an employee who correct a standard pay check every month,  do you still need to sell? 

The answer is a resounding YES!  You sell to your employer to keep you in the job every month so that you are paid at the end of the month.  Once you lost out in your sales proposition, your employer will sent you to the exit door and your monthly cashflow will come to an abrupt STOP.

Got it?  Even when you landed on that job, you have actually sold your employer during the interview that you can add value to their bottonline.

By the way, do you know what a job mean?  It simply mean Just Over Broke!

To be rich and successful in life, we simply must continue to SELL, SELL, SELL and SELL. Period.  

And i love to sell and close the deal as i know in all sincerity that i am exchanging value with money, enriching people life in the process and at the same time, grow rich! Not just think and grow rich…. but grow rich by puting what i have learned into ACTION.

In 1908, Napoleon Hill was interviewing the great industralist Andrew Carnegie. 

At the interview, Carnegie gave Napoleon Hill a challenge.  He challenge him to interview successful people aroudn the world and find out the true cause of failure and success.

Hill accepted the challenge.

Next, he interviewed more than 500 business leaders,  digging deep into the reasons for their success.  He document all his finding in  a book called ‘Law Of Success’.

However, Napolean Hill realizes that if he was to market the ‘Law Of Success’ at a high price, the result may not be so desirable.

As a shrewd salesman, he decided to write another book, now the world famous ‘Think And Grow Rich’ as a sales letter to promote his ‘Law Of Success’ as a backend product.

If you have read ‘Think And Grow Rich’, you may have realized that Hill has been mentioning about a secret many times in the book.  However, he did not reveal the secret in the entire book.

Guess what?

To know the secret, buy his ‘Law Of Success’. 

I suggest that you read a ‘Think And Grow Rich’ and see for yourself how good a copywriter Napoleon Hill is.

You’ll be amazed.

I have just received a newsletter from Blair Singer, “The Little Voice”. 

On the front page of the newsletter, the headline caught my attention.  It yells “Life = Sales”

How very true!

Here’s  is a short extract from the article “Do you know why more than 95% of most people never become rich? It’s because they don’t have the ability or confidence to sell their ideas, their dreams, their plans or even their brilliance. Many think that “Sales” is a dirty word. Something reserved for a used car lot.”

Sales is not a Dirty word.  You need to learn how to sell in order to  be rich, whether in person or in print.

The late American President, John Kennedy sold the Americans with this words “Ask Not What America Can Do For You, But Ask What You Can Do For America”. 

Words persuade and sell.  It penetrates like a double edged sword. With the right words, you can penetrate into the heart of your readers or listeners and get them emotional charge up in your favour.

That’s why most of the most successful entrepreneurs and politicians are fantastic salesman. Generally, they are good at using the right words to persuade and influence others to rally together with them. Most are not successful until they master the art of selling.  From than on, money start rolling in like a Tsumani wave.

Similarly, successsful internet marketers know how to write persuasive sales letter, letter that will get their online readers to take out their credit card from their wallets to buy from them.

As you can see, this is by no mean an easy task.  Quoting from what famous Asian copywriter, Jo Han Mok has once said “Imagine that your prospect online is a piece of lump sitting in front of the computer, one hand holding a can of coke and the other hand moving the mouse.  There is one force that is working in tandum with that lump, it is the force of inertia.  It will take an awesome salesletter to combat this resistance and get him to drop his can of coke and reach for his wallet.”

Currently, i am almost finish working on  a new information product on persuasive & pschological copywriting secrets know only to the master wordsmith.  My aim is to get all internet marketers up to speed in copywriting so that they can increase their sales marketing online and can truly enjoy the internet lifestyle that they so desire.

I have great respect for Super Copy writer Dan Kennedy…. while i was cleaning up my mailboxes, i chance upon an old email that i receive from Dan.

Reading through it, i realize the importance of testimonial marketing(in Dan’s own words) in copywriting and sales… which i feel it will benefit YOU…

Here’s the email content:

“A variation of word-of-mouth advertising is what I call testimonial marketing. The best way to explain it is with some examples.

The best automobile salesman I’ve ever met is Bill Glazner with Sanderson Ford in Phoenix, Arizona. This fellow is a true professional in every sense of the word. He’s knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He’s able to exert pressure without being offensive and has many other great sales skills but his most impressive attribute is mastery of testimonial marketing.

When you go in and sit down at his office you’ll find a typical car salesman’scubicle, a little desk, a couple side chairs, and a rather tacky tile floor. Just what you’d expect!

But the walls in Bill’s office are covered top to bottom, side to side with Read more »
