Having a passion for your product is wonderful. Believing in it is crucial. Expecting other people to share your enthusiasm may be a step too far, but the answer to sales success can be just a question away. The key to a successful sales outcome lies in marrying your prospective customer's needs with your product's features and benefits. First, you need to find out just what your prospect's needs are and you do this by asking lots of questions. But be wary, this is not an interrogation and you don't want your prospect to feel they're undergoing a reincarnation of the Spanish Inquisition! Wendy Berry, Wendy Berry Sales Solution, discusses how to ask your clients questions and to keep the conversation flowing. Read more...

One of our Members has alerted us to an email scam being aimed at speakers inviting them to speak at a church conference in the UK, all expenses paid. On enquiry, the scammer requests credit card details in order to arrange your visa. This particular email even had contact details, including a phone number answered by the 'pastor' happy to help with your enquiries.

Scammers are using increasingly sophisticated social engineering techniques designed to trick you into handing over personal of financial details. It can be hard to tell if someone is trying to scam you. How can you protect yourself? Commonsense is the key. You can't win a lottery you haven't entered. If you haven't got a high profile, it's unlikely someone in another country is seeking you specifically to speak at their conference. If you have to ask "is this legitimate?" even for a moment, then chances are it isn't.
