Copyright (c) 2007 Kim Duke The Sales Diva http://www.salesdivas.com I admit it. On the week-end, I had an Endurance Hula-Hoop contest with my 8 and 11 year old nieces! They had a fabulous time laughing at their aunt as I fumbled with the purple hula hoop. Of course - they had NO PROBLEM keeping that plastic tube flying! In fact, neither of them even broke a SWEAT. They both said " Auntie - we could do this for hours!" One thing I have on them is old age so I watched carefully what they were doing. (Observation goes a lonnnnnnnnnng way in life.) It took a few tries but before they knew it - their "old" aunt was giving them a run for their money! As my stomach muscles were screaming in holy terror, I thought ..." This would make a great article on how women approach selling!" The 4 Secrets of Hula-Hoop Selling: 1. The Hula-Hoop Has To Be The Right Size. It's true! If the hoop is too big or too small - then you're going to struggle. In selling - you struggle when your daily goals are too big or too small. Either way you'll end up feeling frustrated and yet you're not getting anywhere. 2. You Have To Consistently Move! Just as the hula-hoop won't start rolling unless you get those hips going...your sales won't gain momentum if you don't "move" every day. The Stop/Start strategy doesn't work for hula hoops or making money. 3. You Have To Commit To The Right Moves. Putting the hula-hoop on the floor and jumping over it is not the purpose! If you want to play the game, you have to do it right and be willing to make mistakes. Selling is all about commitment. Where are you at? 4. Don't Quit. Yup - sometimes the hula-hoop falls from a bad manoever or from lack of movement. So do your sales. The numbers don't lie honey! So if you have dropped the "hoop" just pick it up again and start moving. Momentum Is Never An Accident! I first watched my nieces in amazement as they made keeping the hula-hoop up look EFFORTLESS. Then I realized what they were doing. They had found the rhythm of it. Once they had the "formula" for what worked - they hardly had to work at all to keep the momentum going. Your sales are the very same way. Do a few key things in a consistent and timely manner (ie/follow-up, on-going marketing strategies and communication with your customer) and before you know it you're working smarter, not as hard and definitely making more money than you can imagine! Think I'm crazy? I Diva-Dare you to go buy a hula-hoop this week. Your hips and your sales will thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim Duke, The Sales Diva, provides savvy, sassy sales training for women small biz owners and entrepreneurs.
