The toughest of all resumes to write is a sales resume. Basically, the employer is looking for a person who can sell himself through the resume first.

Every employer is looking for that specific set of skilled sales executives who will determine their next quarter sales and drive their growth. As a candidate you’ll want to win the employers’ heart just with your resume. Minute details can be exaggerated or big failures can be hidden by a good sales person. Also, any employer will be expecting a sales executive to possess reasonable learnability and good convincing skills. A good sales resume will convey these messages directly or indirectly.

Basically, your resume should include the following information:

A clean-cut career and job objective which shows your sense of direction to the employer.

Your resume should have the names of each of your employers and your corresponding job titles.

You Don’t Need Sales Training

If you’re a solopreneur, consultant, business owner, or independent professional, you probably have asked yourself some or all of the following questions:

* How can I get more clients?
* How can I get better clients?
* How do I sell more to the clients I’ve got?
* Can I earn more money and still have a life?
* Why are sales activities so difficult sometimes?
* Is there a “right” way to sell?
* Where can I turn for hands-on advice when I need it?
* When will this get easier?

Well, I’ve got some answers. Here’s what most sales training companies will tell you is the answer to your sales and marketing challenges: sales training. Here’s what most marketing consultants will tell you is your answer: marketing consulting.

Well, that just isn’t the case.

If anything, you need to UNlearn what a lot of sales training and marketing seminars and sales books have told you. You need to reconnect with how to sell based on WHO you’re – in short, to start using and recognizing the power of selling differently.

And here’s something new and different coming from someone like me: You don’t need sales training. Read more… »

First, and as important to your success as anything you learn here, is clearly understanding how eBay users find things to spend their money on.

No matter what type of buyer they are, no matter where they come from, they all use the same tool to find auction ads;

“They use the search bar to type in general terms..!”

Very rarely do buyers check the “Search Title and Description” checkbox and start browsing the more specific results. Heck; the checkbox isn’t even an option on the front page of eBay, you actually have to do an “Advanced Search” to even have that option. This just confirms the importance of your title keywords.

Some do browse categories rather than search, but we’re mainly concerned with general majorities here, not exceptions to the rule.

In case you’re unaware, this means that most searches are ONLY CHECKING YOUR TITLE, not the words in the description area of your ad!!!

Experience tells me that, since you now know this, you are actually way ahead of 70% of the other eBay sellers out there; and that’s a very conservative estimate..! Read more… »

If you’ve decided to sell your home, it’s likely you’ve some unfinished projects you need to complete before putting it active on the market. Deferred maintenance won’t only serve to delay your sale, but will also bring down your property value and lose money on the sale. Read on for a discussion on the ways a handy man service can be of benefit to you as you prepare to sell your home.

1. Offering Time Management

Plain and simple, hiring a professional handyman service to complete many or all of your unfinished projects or needed updates will save you loads of time and allow you to prepare differently for your upcoming move. A good team of workers can complete in a fraction of the time what it would take you to accomplish alone or with a spouse or helper. The buying of time is always a smart purchase.

2. Getting the Job Done Right

A good, reputable handy man service will be bonded and insured, and its workers will be licenced and trained in the tasks you’re hiring them to complete. This equates to no guesswork on your part on how to do certain installings or repairs. Also, most services guarantee their work, so in the event of any flaws or problems, they’ll fix it for no another charge. That beats spending countless hours on a project only to have to return to that again and try another remedy. Read more… »
