Basis of a True Sales Super Star

July 1st, 2009

I have been in many sales works before. I tried selling cosmetics, shoes, industrial supplies, house cleaning materials, books, mobile accessories, insurance and many more. One thing that I have proven true is…it is much easier to sell something that you are convinced of its features or benefits than selling something that you don’t personally have the guts to use for yourself.

Anyway, other says you are a sales super star if you could sell anything. I agree with that but isn’t it lying when you try to sell somebody a shampoo that you know deep inside it doesn’t work? Well as for my convictions is concerned, I rather push a product that I know that works than selling something for the sake of profits. I firmly believed that if you endorse something that is efficiently reliable or effective, I guess you will have more sales therefore more profits coming in. And that will make you a true sales super star!

Have about you? Do you sell anything for profit or because of your personal convictions of the product or the services reliability and efficacy?

Learning Never Stops

June 30th, 2009

One of the things that I didn’t stopped since college years was to hunger for more knowledge. I believe that learning doesn’t stop in the four corners of a classroom but must be nurtured until old age. That is the reason why I always read the internet to learn new things and even do the old fashion way of learning – buying books.

Because of this, my favorite place to go for latest source for learning is the Amazon books online, our local bookstore, and some buy & sell websites to get second handbooks.

Speaking about books, my favorites are all about marriage, family, raising children, making money and other business related titles. I also like local themed books when it comes to starting a business and financial management. I guess having these topics in local setting is quite effective when it comes to application.

Anyway, do you still love reading books for knowledge or just for entertainment like novels?

Summer Tutoring

June 25th, 2009

School vacation has finally started in the US and most of my friends are thinking of sending their children to a summer tutoring. Well, I guess that is a great idea so that the children will be busy during summer. I believe that constant learning can really help kids perform better in school!

Anyway, I saw website that offers one-on-one summer tutoring. The site Club Z has been in the business of help children learn more about their lessons and even prepare for SAT examinations in the US. I guess this would be really nice for parents to avail since their children will be getting full attention and focus from the tutor!

As for me, I am also badly in need of a tutor for my children. Too much familiarity can sometimes hinder a fruitful learning for children.

How to Shop for Home Furniture

June 14th, 2009

Are you planning to get a new set of furniture for your house? Well, it is really easy. Here are few tips on how to do it.

First, shop online! You can save a lot of money from gas traveling from store to store just to look or canvass the furniture of your choice.

Second, plan what kind of theme you’re going to use to your room. If your house is designed like a log cabin, well, rustic furniture are the best! But if you have a modern house, slim and sleeky furniture really fits.
Third, compare prices and quality. I guess the quality beats price if you are talking about long term furniture usage.

So, are you ready to shop your furniture now? Then go start surfing!
