Taking a Chapter from Amazon s Playbook - The Art of the Bounceback
Much to my husband's dismay, I am no stranger to Amazon. Between my frequent book and CD purchases, there are some weeks when I think I should have my own dedicated UPS driver. But I digress. If you've ever shopped with Amazon, you've no doubt noticed how they track your purchase history, and provide helpful recommendations as to other products you might like.

The Secrets Of Closing A Sales Letter
Closing of a sales letter usually begins after you discuss the guarantee or reveal the price of the product. Here's an example to start off right away by giving a command to your prospect in your closing subhead: "Now Is The Time To Take Action And Start [Insert the benefit of the product]" The command in the sentence is "Take Action."

After the closing subhead, you can include an "either-or" scenario which has been adapted by numerous marketers since.
Stuck In Your Own View
The longer you do something, the better you get at it. True? Sure. However, there is also the possibility that you stop growing and get stuck where you are, unable to see alternatives or opportunities. I call this being stuck in your view. You get so entrenched that you can't see out. This is a situation where you've done all the right things to get to a profitable, stable place.

Just Be
Once in a while I am asked the question, "How does someone sell themselves? " The simple answer is - Just be. Too many people get caught up in the idea of sales and forget the basics. It's not their job to convince anyone of anything. It's simply good enough to be out there, be knowledgeable, and be giving.

People buy the salesperson first, the product second and the company third. So, it is critically important that you be the kind of person who others want to buy from.

The Unthinkable
I saw a funny bumper sticker the other day that said, "Don't believe everything you think." I'm not suggesting that thinking is overrated, although sometimes, well, maybe thinking is overrated. Wikipedia defines thought or thinking as: a mental process that allows beings to model the world and to deal with it effectively according to their objectives, plans, ends and desires.
