Here's a proven, and truly easy way to start increasing your sales, immediately. All you need to do is add these 2 words to your selling system, and you're good to go.
In fact, this trick's so good, I wish I could take credit for coming up with it, but truth is, it comes from a little-known marketing legend.
Here's deal:
In 1947, Elmer Wheeler was one of best-known salesmen of his time. His "Wheeler Institute of Words" developed a "best practices" of selling, by testing a variety of words in over 19 million selling situations.
I'm right in middle of reading one of Elmer's most famous books, "Tested Sentences That Sell".
And here's a great little selling trick that comes straight out of this book:
Ever go into a restaurant and order a drink?
Of course you have.
And what does your server usually ask you, right after you place your order?
They usually say "Small or large?", right?
Well, imagine for a moment... you're owner of this restaurant.
Do you have any idea how much your sales would increase over time, if... instead of saying "Small or large?" after your customers ordered their drinks ... you told your servers to instead, say...
“Large one?”
Let me take guess-work out of this and make your job easier for you.
Elmer Wheeler tested this experiment out in five-thousand separate selling situations. And results showed, when your server asked "Large one?"...
7 out of every 10 people, answered “Yes!”
So, let's say a large soda costs you 35˘ more than a small soda -- are you with me on this? This means, by saying "Large one?"... 7 out of every 10 customers that walk through your door, end up giving you an extra 35 cents!
Now you may be thinking, "So what?... It's only 35 cents."
A-h-h-h, but remember....
Little Hinges Swing Big Doors Open!
Follow me here for a minute: If you've got 5 servers... and each of them does this with 100 customers a day, this means each of them will be serving large sodas to an extra 70 people a day.
That's an extra 350 large soda sales a day. (5 servers x 70 large sodas each).
350 extra sales, at 35˘ each, is $122.50 a day in extra gross sales for you... which translates into $857.50 extra a week, and over 52 weeks, this turns into...
$44,590 Dollars A Year... With ZERO Extra Marketing Costs Involved!
Not bad, hey?
