DO YOU SHED TEARS OVER SALES?

A designer who started her business in mid 2007 told me she’d never seen so many men shed tears until she delivered gift baskets to them for Father’s Day. Referrals from those deliveries expanded her business, and that’s when she cried tears of joy.

Wednesday’s newsletter explains why emotions play a big part in sales and provides ideas on how to capitalize on emotional selling in 2009. Sometimes it’s okay to be a cry baby.
