Although I've been an avid Netpreneur for
more than four
years, I can honestly say that the last couple of years has
definitely brought
more than its fair share of successes
to me.
You see, in the beginning of this year
I started selling a
totally new product. Almost nine months
later, I'm racking
in a six-figure income. I've done well
before, but never to
this degree. (And to make life even sweeter,
I can honestly
see myself reaching millionaire status
within the next year.)
Now that I sit back to compare what I did
those previous years,
to what I'm doing now, I can clearly see
that a huge portion of
my current success is due to a change
in attitude.
Sounds so simple doesn't it?
Well... believe it or not, it is!
I'm going to tell you exactly what I had
to change in my own
mindset to achieve these phenomenal results.
When these principles
are combined with a salable product AND
an on-point promotional
strategy, money making fireworks occur.
So feel free to use them
liberally in your own Net sales ventures.
1) Love your customers.
Cuddle them, nurture them, show them that
you really do care.
Everyday I vow that I'm going to be a
miracle in at least one
of my customers lives. The theory is that
the more you help
your customers grow, the more they'll
help you grow.
Here are a few ways that I show my love:
* Call them up periodically to see how
business is going,
and offer advice if they need some;
* E-mail to inquire about projects that
they're working
on. (They always e-mail me back with the
same reply,
"WOW Thanks! How did you remember I was
working on that?")
* Tell them about various opportunities
they might benefit
from. For instance, if I run across a
chance for publicity,
I'll pass it on to customers who I feel
can best utilize it.
As you can see, it doesn't take a lot.
Maybe an hour, per
customer, per year. But the results can
truly make your
bank account bulge in the long run.
2) Focus your energy.
You cannot be everything to everybody.
Pick a niche - just
one niche - and embody it completely.
Make it yours to the
very fiber of your being. (And I mean
to sound very dramatic
when I say this.)
I see a gazillion Netpreneurs get swayed
by this opportunity,
or that affiliate program, just because
others are hyping
it up.
I don't get swayed.
I'm queen of one little subject category
- (teaching others
how to successfully create and sell information
products
online) - and I stick to it. If every
guru on the Net were
promoting XYZ Widget, I STILL wouldn't
sell XYZ Widgets.
As much money as the XYZ salespeople may
be making, they
don't apply to my niche. So to incorporate
them into my
strategy would be foolish.
Don't let yourself be moved every time
some new thing hits
the Net. Find something to sell that YOU
personally enjoy,
and your own enthusiasm will guide you
to greater profits,
than any hot, new opportunity.
3) Vow to be the best in your niche.
I didn't fully incorporate this mindset
until just a few months
ago. But when I did, business increased
drastically.
Anybody who subscribes to my "Stories From
a Brain Food
Saleswoman" newsletter, knows that I don't
take any shortcomings
in this category. I work hard to be number
one, and it's working.
Since I made the vow, I have become the
best in my niche.
Guru's that I've looked up to for years,
are now coming to ME
for advice! No longer do I have to pound
on doors to get a little
attention... they easily swing open for
me. That feels incredibly
good.
But it only comes when you make that internal
commitment to
transcend all the wanna-be's, and devote
your efforts to being
the top dog. There's a local radio DJ
who always says, "Shoot for
the moon, and even if you don't reach
it, you'll always be among
the stars." Take this point and run with
it.
Well there you have it. Three attitude
adjustments that transformed
my business into a growing powerhouse.
They're very simple principles,
but they do require extra effort to make
them work.
Now Go... change your attitude, and grow
a rich business!
