Oh, you must be right, although you are selling me right now!

A good friend of mine once said to me, "Life is sales."

What a profound statement! Think about it! Life IS sales. We sell all day, every day.

We just don’t realize or acknowledge fact that we are selling.

Why is that? I believe it is because we have adopted some misguided beliefs regarding selling.

The interesting thing to keep in mind is that of higher income earners around world, a large percentage come from world of sales. Many from direct selling!

When you think about sales, what comes to mind?

Chances are, it’s pushy, arrogant, over-zealous, quick-to-the-close type that you’ve done business with in past.

But, is that truly what Sales is about?

I don’t think so.

True sales is about sharing information. It’s about finding out what other person needs and then meeting that need.

It’s about creating a win-win situation for everyone.

When was last time you told someone about a great movie, referred a family physician or lavished praise and recommendations on new restaurant in town?

This is sales in its purest form!

You perceive a product or service that could possibly meet need of someone else. (A great place to eat or entertaining movie, etc.)

You share information with someone else, in an effort to meet a need they may have.

Are YOU committing any of these five response-busting bloopers?

BLOOPER #1: "This offer expires in 1.2 minutes!"

Yeah -- right. And I'm Daffy Duck.

FACT: Time-sensitive offers can and DO increase response.

FACT: Hundreds of visitors won't know difference between fake, limited-time-offer hokey, and real deal.

FACT: You might be isolating several hundred MORE would-be customers with your dishonest "time-sensitive offer."

FACT: The smart ones will know truth anyway.

All I need to do to find out if an offer REALLY "expires today!" is take a quick peek at page's HTML code. If I see a jumble of JavaScript coding where today's date is supposed to be, I know I've got days, weeks, or even forever to get that "limited-time offer."

Whoops -- I just released your "little secret!" Not to worry. See end of this tip for a quick fix.

This little coding trick doesn't bother ME personally, as I'll still buy product if offer is good. But, some people simply *will not buy* if they see same "limited-time offer" on your page for a week. It's true! But, you can offer limited time offers WITHOUT being dishonest to your visitors.

Want to know how? e-Mail me and ask, at: < mailto:FIX@ReadySetPROFIT.com >

If you *ask me*, I'll send you an idea that I haven't seen ANYONE else use as of yet. Don't worry, I'm not disguising a product of mine as "idea," and you won't be added to any pesky follow-up list. I'm simply reserving details for few *motivated* marketers actually reading this article, because this idea won't be quite as effective if everyone knows how it works.

BLOOPER #2: "Use that bold; just don't abuse it."

The most important thing to keep in mind when bolding your sales page text is to bold THE RIGHT WORDS. Not only are too many bold words hard to read, but they defeat purpose of bolding -- to stress an *important* point.

Visualize words in all caps in sentence below as bold words in a sales letter:

"LEARN a simple, easy-to-apply, 3-step formula for steadily increasing your WEBSITE profits each and every MONTH."

Now ... wasn't that goofy?

BLOOPER #3: "Am I supposed to READ this thing or dissect it?"
