Are people constantly haggling with you on price even though your product – service is far superior to that which your competition offers?

No is always negotiable. Persistence always defeats resistance. Barry Bull
Do your work.

Do your work. Not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishing sake, that little more that’s worth all the rest. And if you suffer as you must and you doubt as you must, do your work, and the sky will clear.
And then out of your very doubt and suffering, will be born the supreme joy of life. Dean Briggs

Kapow’s Commercial Cleaning have two extremely compelling offers that encourage people to spend their money locally, and refer their awesome services.
1. They offer a FREE office clean {for business’s that qualify for it} so that people can see what an awesome service they provide.
It’s the ultimate “try before you buy” deal.
2. They offer a $100 gift voucher {that you can spend at your favourite local business} to anyone who refers them another local business that becomes a customer.

Sales is what you do for someone, not to someone. Bob Proctor
Sunshine Coast Business Owners…
Today I want to do something for you, and there’s a very good reason why.
When I’m posting this it’s January 15th 2017, and there’s a very good reason why that 15th January is an extremely significant day each and every year, not just 2017.
Research tells us that by January 15th every year, 95% of people have already broken their New Years Resolution.
All of those good intentions and the “this year is going to be different” shine has worn off ALREADY.
I can and will keep posting these tips all year right up until New Years Eve this year.
“Be so good they can’t ignore you” Steve Martin
When people ask me how do you make it in show business or whatever.
And what I always tell them, I’ve said it many years.
And nobody ever takes note of it, because it’s not the answer they wanted to hear.
What they want to hear is, here’s how you get an agent, here’s how you write a script, here’s how you do this.
I always say be so good they can’t ignore you.
And I just think that if somebody’s thinking, how can I be really good, then people are going to come to you. Steve Martin

Email Newsletters are DEAD!
Answer this question honestly…
When was the last time that you opened and read an email newsletter that was sent to you by another business?
Well guess what?
No one is reading yours either!
There’s two main reasons why…
1. They’re way to busy and don’t have the time.
2. It’s about you and your business, and as I’m infamous for say…
Is selling evil?
It all depends on your intentions.
This is how selling should be done…
Selling is getting someone intellectually engaged in a future result that’s good for them and getting them to emotionally commit to take action to achieve that result. Dan Sullivan
People love to buy, but they hate being sold to.
Most sales people never ever get this into their heads, and it’s the reason they fail…
Selling is what you do for someone, not to them. Bob Proctor
When less is more…
You don’t have to spend huge amounts of money to create a point of difference for your business.
Just remove an irritant for your market, and they’ll love you for it, and spend more money with you more often.
When you can articulate a major problem that you solve for a market in just a few words, doubling your sales is a breeze.
Check this out…
Finally a juicer that doesn’t make a mess.
Do you have a juicer in your house? Then you know how much of a pain it is to clean it.

Finally a juicer that doesn’t make a mess, sets this juicer apart from every other option on the market.

If you thought the world was surprised when Nixon resigned, wait until I whip Foreman’s behind. Muhammed Ali
You must believe with absolute certainty that you’re going to #DoubleYourSales.

Some people might not believe in you, but you have to believe in you. Serena Williams

Don’t accept an answer that supports someone else’s mediocrity.
#DoubleYourSales Tip 41;
Speak to a specific problem.
If you’re getting no reach and no one is interacting with your posts on Facebook then it’s highly likely that this is your problem…
Your not talking to your audience about a specific problem that they have.

Here’s a quick way that you can use today to get an almost unfair advantage over your competition.
The Send Message option only became available on your Facebook Page late last year.
Here’s the thing though…
Pretty much no business here on the Sunshine Coast {apart from myself} has picked up on the importance of it.
The first step in making a sale is starting the conversation with a potential customer.
What better way of doing that is there these days than by Messenger given the fact that the majority of people are constantly glued to their phones.

Want more conversions {sales}? You must understand how the human brain makes decisions.
Unfortunately, a lot of websites, especially in ecommerce, are guilty of what we in the conversion optimisation industry call {puking all over the visitor. DigitalMarketer
Many business owners {and Dilettante Marketers} think you’ll make more sales if you can just get more people to your website.

Here’s the cold hard truth…
Unless your website is already generating sales for you on a consistent basis, traffic isn’t your problem, conversion is.
And unless you fix your conversion problem problem first, then any money that you spend on traffic will be a complete waste of time and money.

It’s RIGHT HOOK time.
I’m not showing you how I’m doing this for FREE, for two main reasons…
1. I don’t want my competition catching on to what I’m doing.
2. If I don’t charge you for it, you won’t pay attention to it, and that’s going to cost you a sh#tload more than what you’re going to pay me.
The strategy is very {my phone literally just went off with another enquiry whilst I’m typing this} simple, but it’s freaking powerful.
Here’s how it works…
1. I write a post worded a very specific way.
2. People contact me and ask me will I take a look at their marketing, and give them advice on how to fix it.
3. Then they book in for a consultation {which they pay for}.
The resistance to booking in for the consultation is almost non existent, as I’ve already positioned them to do it {and I tell them that very clearly} before they even contact me.
In other words there’s no bait and switch, they’re basically asking me to sell them something.
Who’ll it work for?
Anyone that has something to sell, but here’s a list of who I’m really looking to work with…
-
- New {I’m fussy} Car – Boat Sales
-
- Real Estate Agents
-
- Brokers
-
- Lawyers
-
- New Home Builders
-
- Consultants – Coaches
- Health Professionals
If you want me to show you what I’m doing, then you’ll need to book in for a Double Your Sales Consultation.

Most business owners never create effective marketing or advertising that’ll Double Their Sales, because of one reasons…
When the first thing that they try doesn’t work, they give up.
They want to eat healthy for one day and see immediate results.
It doesn’t work that way, but the great news is, you can test Facebook ad’s with as little as $1 to see what works, then you can scale it up.

“Persistence defeats resistance” Barry Bull
What I know about NFL could be written on the back of a postage stamp.
But I do know this…
When it comes to marketing and sales most business owners give up way to easily.
They have one set back, spit the dummy and give up crying “it doesn’t work for me”
My mentor Barry Bull battled for 10 long year to get the stars to align and have rock stars visit his Toombul Music store.
The rest is history {watch the video in the comments}
Yes you’re going to have challenges, and yes a lot of what you try isn’t going to work, but you have two choices…
1. Give up.
2. Or find a way to defeat the odds and win.
Have a read of Tom Brady story {who’s pictured below} that pulled of one of the biggest upsets in NFL history, because he wouldn’t give up.
