How to increase sales with networking

To increase Sales in any Business, but with Networking emphasized who must not at all sell anything. In networking, your job is to focus not in sales but to advertise the product, to advertise the product you must market the product. Now the main question I get is "How do I sell if I don't sell". Well here is how it is done; first and foremost you market the product, by doing this you are advertising the product. the trick to this stage is not to sell the product in your marketing strategy. Now for the last stage in the process. If you market the product correctly, then the product will sell its self. So you see you market the product the product sells itself, so you see you don't sell you market. if you follow this your sales will increase dramatically. Why you may be asking, well it is like this, people have put up walls against us salesmen. they don't want to be sold anything, so how to get them to by your product is to make them think it is there idea, and by doing this, you market the product and the product sells itself.

The second thing a salesman will need to know to increase sales is, to be invited in to your prospects world. As stated earlier, no one wants to be sold anything, so in turn they block out anything or anyone who sales or tries to sale them anything. Now you ask how to get invited, well if were walking around and we see someone, try talking to them, befriend them. This will get a conversation started, which in turns gets them to be more at ease with you. So now that they are at ease gradually start to bring the subject up slowly, to fast you can scare them off. Now about advertisements, to get invited to there world, they must seek you out not you seeking them out. to do this you must present value to them. You see no one wants to be involved with anyone that cant provide value to them. we all want to grow in intellect, in social standing, provide knowledge to them and they will be hooked to you.
If you follow these two simple steps I personally will guaranty your success in networking sales. There really is not any secret to it, just simple common sense, you don't want to be sold, so why would they. you trust a friend not a stranger so why would they.So to summarize what I said here. First market the product, which goes with advertising. when you market the product add value to yourself and to your product, remembering not to sell the product. after this has been completed correctly, the product will then and only then sell itself. And always remember to the prospect to think it is there idea to buy the product, to do this get into there world, in order to gain there trust.
