As you begin a new year in your sales career, why not do a little self-evaluation on your strengths and weaknesses. The following list represents what I have discovered to be the common traits of successful salespeople.1. They manage their attitudes from inside-out vs. outside-in. 2. They are on fire with passion and desire. 3. They are a resource for their clients. They go the extra mile. 4. They are excellent communicators. 5. They are focused and concentrate on the task at hand. 6. They are able to win the support of all inside support staff. 7. They spend more time getting infor
The following are the main areas you should consider: Select two or more (don’t put all your eggs in one basket).
Art Galleries
Begin with developing a list of local art galleries that are within 100-200 miles of you. Art galleries are listed in your regular or on-line yellow pages. Take the time to personally visit each gallery on your list to determine which ones showcase the style of art most compatible with your art. Contact the owner or director of the gallery by telephone for a firm appointment to show your work.
Print Publishers
The print market is very profitable. When your art is in print, it is available and affordable to the widest possible audience, and your originals become more valuable. In my free online booklet, “Marketing Your Art” is available for professional artists wanting to market their artwork.
Fine art publishers can be found in art trade publications such as D?cor Magazine, World Art News or On-line. Develop a list of those publishers you want to contact. The next step would be to send them a professional presentation of your work letting them know you are available for licensing.

Great isn’t it! Competition is everywhere. Tennis, soccer, football, the Olympic Games. It is the gold medal that counts.In search-engine country the competition is also fierce. Who will win? Will there be only winners and losers? And can you compare the companies mentioned in the title? Are they focused enough to compete? Are they running at the same track?Companies compete on different elements. Airbus is taking space or volume as a target, Boeing’s answer to the challenge is velocity: “we can go faster”.And – this is where the article is about – what is your internal organization doing in this a

Do you have 5, 10, or 20 years of sales experience? Or do you have 1 year of sales experience 5, 10, or 20 times? Many salespeople never advance beyond ancient outdated sales lines like "If I do this for you, will you give me the order?" Or "What do I have to do to get your business?" Lines like these are why salespeople have a reputation near lawyers in our society. Everyone learns lines like these in sales at some time or another. Often it comes from a senior salesperson who is described as "aggressive" or as "a closer". Because this guy brings in a lot of business, other's think that

It never ceases to amaze me how few sales people make the time to follow-up after they have made initial contact with a prospect or customer. In the last few months, I can think of at least eight different situations in my own life (business & personal) when a salesperson did not bother taking this initiative. These included a landscaper who designed plans for our property, two different people who spoke to me about creating a promotional piece of literature for my business, a sales rep for a pool company, and a men’s fashion salesman who was asked to send information. In each of these situations I was very interested

The choice of financing is an important determinant of whether a product reaches the market, or whether an existing business can survive. The choice of financing is an important part of being an entrepreneur and business owner, and the ability to raise cash when you have no or limited history takes skill and creativity. There are a number of sources of financing. The suitability of the alternatives depends on what stage you are at, and will change as the company matures from stage to stage. The following outlines the most typical forms available.Yourself, Family and FriendsThe most obvious and common star

Banks, Restaurants and Corporations
Thousands of works of art are showcased and sold each year in banks, restaurants, and other private and public facilities every year. These locations are ideal prospects for the showing and selling of your Art. Local artists, local companies and the local public all benefit by having art displays in a bank or restaurant or business.
Co-Op Galleries
Co-op Galleries are generally local art associations that establish a location where fellow artists can hang their art. Contact your local art association for details about membership.
Commission Projects
Interior designers, architects and art consultants are constantly looking for artists. You can generally develop a list by searching your local phone directory yellow pages or online yellow pages. Contact these firms by telephone and send them your brochure.
Your Website
Your website is your own personal on-line gallery, open 24-7. This is a very cost effective way to show and sell.
A first class website is like a first class brochure; but, even better, it allows you to change and improve without reprinting.
