Luckily for us sales people modern technologies such as email make it possible to contact thousands of prospects simultaneously at just the touch of a button. Now that’s what I like to call ‘power prospecting’!

Sometimes it’s best to keep it simple though. With all the advantages of the internet has also come the information overload age. You don’t want to aggravate your prospects with persistent annoying emails do you?

K.I.S.S. That’s keep it simple stupid; this well known phrase applies to selling too. Wouldn’t your clients appreciate the time and effort that goes into a proper post card more than an automatically generated email? Doesn’t it say something about you and your company? Personally when I’m on holidays somewhere I love to sit down for an hour once during my stay and take the time to handwrite postcards to my best clients with photographs of the holiday spot on the front. The clients really appreciate it because it’s genuine. Even better, often when I next visit the client I see the postcard still sitting in their off

Another great idea for effective simple selling is to find out the birth date of everybody you meet. Did I say ‘everybody’? That’s right, everybody. You then keep a separate organising calendar and file with everyone’s birthday recorded in it and as they come up you post them a birthday card maybe with the words ‘thinking of you on your special day’ on the inside. Now the next time this person needs to purchase your product or service who do you think they’re going to contact? My money’s on the guy who sends the thoughtful birthday card, they won’t forget that quickly. I’ve heard of top sales champions who send out thousands, yes, thousands of birthday cards each year.
