SPIN Selling for Software Sales

November 21st, 2011

Did you know that SPIN Selling, one of the greatest sales research books of all time, is just as applicable to software sales as it is every other sales discipline? Well it’s true. In fact, the methodology espoused in the book might be even more useful in selling software than for selling appliances.

Think about it. The customer has a very complex process for building or producing their product or service, so it’s not immediately apparent just what software will do to help them improve and increase their results in the eye of their management team (and shareholders).

What you have to do as the enterprise software sales person is to understand just what is happening at the prospective client- what the Situation is- with new eyes and ears. You have to come to a different understanding of what is occurring at the company. And SPIN Selling can help you do just that.

A Look at Vector Marketing

September 3rd, 2011

If you have been to a college campus recently, you have certainly seen a flyer for Vector Marketing. The advertisement is vague as to the sort of work involved, but generally promises steady pay and flexible hours. If you have seen such a flyer, you may be interested in knowing a bit more about this mysterious company. Unfortunately, the truth is nowhere near as glamorous as the advertisements would have a potential recruit believe.

Vector Marketing is perhaps best known for selling “CutCo” brand knives. While the sales are usually downplayed in the company’s recruitment advertisements, these kitchen products are the primary item sold by most recruits. The positions offered are sales positions based mostly on commission, though some pay may be made through simple sales attempts.

Vector has a fairly poor reputation, though the company has cleaned up its practices over the past few years. If you are looking for steady, guaranteed pay, this company is likely one to avoid. If you are willing to undertake a sales job with incredibly flexible hours, though, you may want to do more research.

A Gift for My Date

June 13th, 2011

I know that my date loves theatres and I wanted to give her something that she will surely use. I decided to give her London theatre gift vouchers for our second date just to impress her, and I really can’t wait for her expression. Sometimes I think that it’s a wonderful thing that I am giving her this on our second date, but it might sound a bit too eager, so I am not sure how she will take it. I hope she takes it well, because the gift is well-intentioned. I can’t imagine having it rejected because that would break my heart, and I really wouldn’t know what to do with it except throw it away. I’m not a theatre guy myself, but I would be willing to go with her if she asked. I haven’t been before, and there’s always a first time for everything. I hope that she likes it though.

Cheap London Theatre Tickets for All Tastes

February 22nd, 2011

It’s always wonderful to see a top play, and with plenty of cheap London theatre tickets about at the moment, it’s possible to see some of the best without ever breaking the bank. For me, the best offerings are the many spectacular musicals which are on all over the capital. I saw Jesus Christ Superstar back in the 1970s, and I honestly thought I would never see a better play in my whole life. However, the genre has become ever more sophisticated in the last few years.

When my wife and I try to decide which show we want to see, she will generally choose an edge of the seat thriller. Because of this, we are often at loggerheads when decision time comes around. In fact, the only thing we can always agree on is that we don’t want to see one of the classics of William Shakespeare, or even Geoffrey Chaucer, for that matter.

There is an Art to Gift Wrapping

September 28th, 2010

When it comes to surprise presents, the art is as much in selecting the right sort of gift wrapping as it is in picking a present that you know will be suitable for the recipient. There are many types of gift wrapping that you can choose from glitzy, shiny paper to something a little more sedate perhaps with floral patterns. You can also use tissue paper if you are placing the gift in a box. The important factor when looking at gift wrapping is to do it in a style and with a pattern that will delight the person receiving the gift. If it is a child, then something with a theme that will be relevant is important and is obviously dependant on the age and gender of the child. The paper you choose for a close friend will undoubtedly be different to what you would use for your grandmother.

Choosing Singapore As Your Hub For Asia

September 4th, 2010

If you’re thinking of setting up business in Asia, you should seriously consider Singapore. Besides its strategic location in ASEAN, the country has a highly-skilled workforce, good governance, liberal immigration policies and one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the region. Infact, the goverment is even giving a full tax exemption on the first 3-year profit for newly incorporated companies, beginning 2010.

It’s easy to incorporate a company in Singapore – the entire process, from company name application to filing an incorporation request, is done entirely online. Assuming there are no problems, one could obtain the Certificate of Incorporation from ACRA, Singapore’s registrar of companies, within the same day!

The government allows 100% foreign ownership, however, the company must have a least 1 director and 1 company secretary, who is a resident in Singapore. A resident is defined as being a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident, or a person who holds an Employment Pass, EntrePass or Dependant Pass.
