Food For Thought, If you think you can.

October 4, 2011

If you think of yourself as being fat, you will be fat. If you think of yourself as being friendless and of no use to anyone, you can also fulfill those prophecies. The point is that negative imagines are self-destructive and self-fulfilling.

There is no reason for anyone to have a poor self-image on a long term basis, in spite of any excuse that might be offered. The excuse that l heard the most often is that people have been told from early childhood by their parents that they should not strive for individual levels, as they cannot expect ever to be that competent or capable.

It starts at an early age in life, a foundation that can have an everlasting effect on a child and the sad part is we didn't even know that we had something to do with how that child turns out to be. We are all so busy in life that we need to focus and make time to teach our children positive ways and show them encouragement and let them know that you take an interest in all that they do. Whether it's a test result, a picture they just painted or whatever it might be, show real affection to them, and you will see a big difference in your child.

So the next time you see you child sitting all by him or herself, and you walk up to them and ask what the matter is, and they say nothing. Well, we all have heard that statement, you need to stop all your are doing and found the root of why he or she is feeling that way. In most case it only takes a few minutes of your valuable time, but it will be the best few minutes that you invested all day.

How many Managers, understand this concept, the 4-3-2-1 rule?

October 2, 2011

It will provide you with an actual value of what you are getting for your advertised dollar. Simple but very useful tool, to understand and apply it each and every day....If you where a Manager was working for me and you could not provide me these number daily, we would have a problem?

Who has used this rule in Their Dealership?

Part One. This formula allows you and your Sales Manager to see your progress with how you are handling customers. I will tell you how many customers you had for the day, week and the month. Part two it will allow you and your Sales Manager to know what percentage of the customer are taking a demo drive. Part three it allows your Sales Manager to know how many offers you are getting from your walk in traffic as a percentage. Part four it indicates your closing ratio from all of your efforts....When you understand this concept, you will know where you will need additional training. We are all aware you will always have 100 percent customers so the top number will always be 100 percent.

Part Two is the demo drive....when you take the number of clients and divide them by how many demo drives you had it will provide you with a percentage. I good number is 75 percent of customers should be going on a demo drive.....if you're getting let's say 44 percent you will need to work on how to get more demo drives why are your clients not taking more demo rides with you.

Part Three. Is the offer how many customers are you getting an offer from after you have taken them on a demo drive. It's imperative percentage. It is where most sales people get week or do not have the proper training to get a customer to present an offer; no offers no sales... if your only getting 30 percent of the customers to make an offer, then you will need to focus on what you are not doing....Once you learn this, it will increase, and you will have more sales.

Part Four. Is the actual close, when you make a purchase, you have done all the steps in order, and correctly, now you have earned a commission for your efforts. A good closing ratio, depending on how many customer you spoke to is in around the 17 percent.

Let's review the 4-3-2-1 Rule

4 - is the number of how many clients you spoke to today, so it is always a 100%

3 - is the number of how many clients you took on a demo drive, so it is 75%

2 - is the number of how many clients presented you with an offer, so it is 50%

1 - is the number of clients you close using the above steps, so it is 25%

You made a sale, means you made a commission.. so if you want to make two sales, just double the numbers.

Now that you have an understanding of how this works, please feel free to ask any additional questions on this subject. The most competitive formula you should be sharing with your sales staff, as a Sales Manager. Learn this and you keep your job forever, and more than likely get recruited by other dealers who see your value.

RevPages Have Many Abilities for Successful Promoting

June 29, 2011

When l created my first RevPages it was for one simple reason, see what it was all about and how useful it could benefit us all. I took my time reviewed all the features, learned them all, then decided to create a page we can study and learn from it. The point l am trying to make here is not to look at the product, but review the quality I laid out.

If you ask yourself what do I promote and what do I enjoy, then it will become natural, to produce what I did, passion, honesty and most of all just be yourself. The key here is to have everything work and lead all your readers to where you want to go like l do with all my links that clickable, point vital clickable.

Then what l did with that RevPages was added to all my other blogs, websites, and Twitter for fun see how it all played out. The results were good, but l was looking for was feedback on the page, not the Dodge Truck. Not many members got it. Instead, some decide to leave URL, others left comments towards the truck, others just dumb miss spelled words.

The key here is back links when you use it correctly with the RevPage, what l did with mine was provide you ideas on what you can create, stop looking at the truck play with the information, the links, etc., etc. get good at it then rewards come to you.

So go back have a look and learn from what you have at your finger tips, use it to it's fullest power, make it work and spread it.

The difference between dumb spamming and creative marketing.

APSense Administration Team Announcement

June 27, 2011
As I’m sure, you all noticed the changes with the upgrade. As APSense grows into a more professional site, other changes are also being made including putting in place an official APSense Administration/Support team. There will be Admins, Moderators, and Advisers. Please check the APSense Wiki to find out what each does.


Moderators

You can find a List of Moderators on the Wiki. Moderators are in charge of different add-ons and Niche Communities. You can find out who is responsible for each area on the Wiki.

Advisers


You can find the Adviser responsibilities in the Wiki also. We will be building a team of Advisers to help members. As counselors are added to the team, you will be able to find their information also.


Admins

A new addition to the team is admins. Admins will work directly with Wincer and will have admin powers for the site to remove spam and abuse, and scammer profiles. Please check the Wiki to see what the Admin responsibilities s are. It is the function of the Admins to keep APSense clean and to run smoothly to free Wincer’s time to work on updates and improvements to the site.

Admins will also verify and delete abusive spam posts. Posts will only be removed if the post falls into the accepted categories listed in the radio buttons.

The official APSense admins are:

If you have questions about the upgrade, please contact one of the Admins. Once we get advisers in place, you will be able to communicate with them also. The goal is to build APSense into a professional, trustworthy network and that effort is being rewarded in our lower Alexa rankings.

Official Site Announcements

It is important as we move forward after the upgrade that members, know where to find official site information. Any member may post articles, but these are not in any way official or endorsed by Wincer.

The only official site announcements come from the site admins. Also authorized to make official statements are Joseph Botelho and, of course, Wincer Song as the owner.

Are You A Star AT Show and Tell

June 23, 2011

STARS ALSO KNOW HOW TO USE THE RIGHT MESSAGE WITH THE right audience at the right time. They are superb communicators. But being a good communicator doesn't always mean "being on." In fact, one of the things that average performers do wrong is to communicate over: Every day, they send another memo to the boss. They chatter on, but they have done anything to contribute. People turn a deaf ear to them. Star performers know how to time their message, and how to craft them, so people pay attention.

If you want to excel at "show and tell," understand your audience: What moves people in a particular audience? Who do they listen to? What languages makes sense to them?

For one person, it's going to be dollars; for another, it's going to be valued. You match that language with the way you deliver information---whether you're making a presentation, sending a memo, or cornering someone in the hallway to test an idea.

Figure out the message that moves people, put it into the language they speak and deliver it in a way that works for them.

The whole concept here is for you to understand how to perform without even having to think about what you're doing, working at your highest ability. Showcasing your talents and address solutions that provide the reason for your audience to listen to what you're saying.

Let me know what you thought of this little bit of information will it help you can you apply what you just read. Post your comments and let's all learn from this!

How To Sell, Yourself Effectively, to your Audience!

June 22, 2011
First of all, I would like to mention, that this article is not based on my experience only, but on some research, I did in forums and ezines also.

There are many reasons why it is tough to succeed online, but most of the time, people do succeed in spite of having the odds stacked against them.

One of the most important elements for success online is to have an unstoppable mindset. The people who succeed in their online home business are always having a higher desire for success as compared to others.

One of the important factors to success online is to sell YOURSELF online.

If you don’t do that, you will never make it big online.

Here is why.

You can compare the Internet is to a large ocean. If you have a website, it means nothing. A website without traffic or a good brand is like Robbie Williams singing in his backyard without any audience. His songs are great, but if nobody notice him, how can he be famous and a born entertainer? The later one is what he wants you to believe. His way to sell himself!

So how do you sell yourself online?

Always focus on your strengths and talk about them often!
People respect authority and power. So if you promote your strengths, people will take notice of you. What are you good at? Writing? Networking? Coaching? Let everyone know about it. If you do not believe in yourself, you cannot expect other people to believe in you.

Always give more than you receive!

People who are giving more than what is expected will also receive a lot! When people see in you a giver, you will gain a lot of followers and people will listen to you. Take a blog for example when you talk to people about how to sell online, giving away a lot of free tips, this will help to brand yourself as an expert and people will come back for more information and tips!

Do not hesitate to promote yourself whenever you have a chance!

People who support themselves, their own or affiliate products and programs dynamically and with a pinch of aggressiveness will always outdo the hesitant once. If you are afraid to promote yourself or your products whenever you have a chance, you will not succeed!

By understanding these principles, you will get your foothold on the net!

How do you sell yourself online? Would be pleased to hear from you.
