If you are in a competitive sales environment like auto sales or furniture sales then these tips are for you!
1. Give your business cards to newbies.
If you give 100 or so business cards to the rookies, they’ll be handing out your business cards! Granted, they’ll probably want to cross out your name and write theirs in, but it will have your cell phone number on it, and you’ll make a friend who won’t steal your sales.
2. Give a card to everyone you talk to.
This worked especially well for me when I worked at a car dealership. I would walk up to a prospect and introduce myself while handing them a business card. Then, if they would ask for anothers salesman they talked to on the phone, they had my business card in their pocket! Good for future leads or if the other guy makes them mad.
Those two tips were good for at least 1 sale each for me, and that was only the sales that I was sure about, maybe more. Hopefully they’ll be good for increasing your sales as well!
