How to Hook Your River Monster Sales Professional

It is every marketers dream to catch the big fish or get that perfect team member on our down line. All of us marketers are looking to hook the big one. The one with experience, the entrepreneur that might teach us a thing or two about marketing. The leader that will get you residual sales over and over again. The hard working successful individual who will help grow your downline. A sales shark, a sales pro and a river monster in the sea of marketers. This fish has experience; it knows what it's doing. It's highly sought after. Everyone knows it exists but we've only heard stories of its presence. It's the lochness monster of online businesses and when caught, it will bring your business to life.

How Can You Catch a Fish Like This?

You could fish on twitter with a bare hook, get a few leads and some sales but are you really after just anything? Or are you after that highly professional super hard working motivated and trainable sales professional?

Experience:

After Jeremy Wade from River Monsters gets an idea in his head of exactly the type of fish he is looking for he will go around the local areas where he's heard of the monster fish and get an idea of where the fish could be living now. He draws maps and charts of what the fish could look like and the most likely areas that it's hiding.

Before you go in for the catch you need to know where the fish lives, is it a bottom feeder? Does it hang out with others of its kind? You should also know what it eats so you can provide the right bait.

Do you have the experience to catch your sale shark? You will need to know where to find one, what it is attracted to and how you can catch one.

Being Prepared:

How much does the fish weigh? Make sure you have a line that will support the fish's weight when it starts to pull the line. Make sure you have the proper boat for the waves and the type of fish you are going to catch. You also need to be prepared for the catch. Do you have the right net? Do you have the right materials to weigh the fish and enough resources to put it back into the water?

Do you have the right tools to catch your sales shark? You might need the proper training, better scripts, a new presentation link or another member on your team to close the sale.

Determination:

Not just anyone can land a river monster. It's not luck; it's about doing your research, having the experience, having the right tools and being in the right mindset. When you know exactly what you want, where to find it and how to catch it all you need to do next is be determined to get it.

Jeremy Wade travels across the world to find his monsters and does not stop fishing until he has caught one. Rain, heat, storms, danger, sleepless nights and even the law doesn't stop him. He will do anything to catch that fish because he is determined. His hard work always pays off.

Going for the Catch:

The more you throw your hook into the water the more likely you will be to catch something. While you're after that big fish you might be surprised what else is lurking in the waters ready to jump on your bait. If you put yourself out there, make yourself visible and are interesting to others then your possibilities grow.

Are you doing all you can do to make yourself visible to a sales shark?

Is it Luck or Hard Work?

Going into a giant river to catch 0.5% of its species takes knowledge, experience, determination, the right tools and preparation. If you are looking for that big sales professional to jump onto your team and down line make sure you know what you are looking for, have the right tools to get it and are prepared to keep searching for one until you find it.

Are you prepared and determined to catch your next sales shark?

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional - Hi Evan, I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing

Kevin's Case Study #5 - Different "hats" you wear - To help all entrepreneurs (especially aspiring new ones), I'd like to ask: 1.) What is your small business? 2.) Then list the numerous "hats" you're required to wear in order to succeed. Moreover, go on to rate each job function on a scale of "1 = generalist" to "10 = expert" and even which tasks you outsource. Perhaps this post will act as a decisive factor on whether a person should pursue a specific business idea or not. [i:exdr7mc8]For example, if I owned my own bakery, I'd create my list as follows: 1.) Professional Baker 2.) Different hats I'm required to wear: -Dessert making (8-10) -Customer service/Sales (7) - Job function is outsourced -Accounting (5) - Job function is outsourced -Marketing (4) - Job function is outsourced -etc...[/i:exdr7mc8]
My collections - I do have a few collections - I think you're right - everyone collects something! One of my favorte charactesr as a kid was Captain Hook from the movie Peter Pan, so I've got quite a few statuettes of that character, along with Smee and the Crocodile, plus a hat and a hook that I picked up from Disneyworld a few years ago.. (I wear them when giving out candy for Halloween...) I collect theatrical posters, and a few movie posters (all of my wall-to-wall bookcases have "doors" on them, consisting of those posters, since I don't have wall space for 'em!) of my favorite movies.
