Integrity of salesman and his willingness to provide after sales service and to work out a solution best suited to his client and his interests are among common denominators of highly successful sales and marketing executives and other personnel.

Planning and setting goals & targets are stepping stones for sales work 'In sales your goals must be out of reach but not of out of sight.' Ben Feldman greatest life insurance salesman who made millions just by selling life insurance stated this. He pursued goals that were not achievable without extra ordinary efforts. But he never set goals that were foolishly high. He kept on reviewing his progress and goals. He believed that that you goals must not only for your business, but also for family as well as social and cultural life.

It is said that in sales your Altitude depends on your Attitude. This is quite correct. Somebody coined a phrase "KASH FORMULA for success in selling a

1. K for knowledge of product and familiarity with basic principles of selling and marketing techniques. 2. A for attitude. Perseverance and positive approach. 3. S for skills.

Here’s rule for bargains: "Do other men, for they would do you." That’s true business precept. _Charles Dickens (1812–70), English novelist.

"Sell via affiliate marketing!"

Affiliate marketing is *very* big business. It is thought that by 2002, 25% of online sales will have originated on affiliate sites. Many online businesses now run affiliate programs. It *is* possible to make a lot of money every month simply from a link to an affiliate program.

It is possible, but not that simple!

You need to have a decent amount of traffic to your site; you need to choose programs that have a good fit with your website; you need to promote affiliate program well (sometimes called pre- selling!); and you need to join an affiliate program:

i) of a site that makes sale, and ii) that pays a good rate of commission.

(Ideally, you would want to make a lifetime commission on referred customer on all future sales too!)

Amazon definitely makes sale (it's well-designed, has excellent customer service, and hence has very high conversion rates). But it pays a maximum of 15% commission, and you ONLY make commission on a previously-referred customer IF they click your affiliate link in future - no lifetime commission here!

If you're serious about selling via affiliate marketing - and it really is a great way to supplement your income, whilst improving site content - then I recommend you sign-up for Ken Evoy's NEW 5-day Affiliate Masters e-mail course.
