What are your tips for converting prospects into sales? Do you any specific tools to connect with and impress your clients?

[Dave Kotecki Company: Life Force International Contribution Level: 5]

The most impressive tool I've found is the telephone.

Most people are stuck on attempting to "attract" people with content
and giving away an ebook or video series in the hopes that the prospect
will like their stuff enough to hang around and eventually buy something.

I think marketers should be more aggressive.
If you're not talking to at least 10 people a day in a quality conversation,
which is a conversation that may lead to a sale, give up on attempting to generate
your own leads and buy them.

That's right, buy them.
You'll find they're much cheaper than any "free" leads you generate on your own

Many would say that the leads you buy are not targeted or qualified.
That may be true.
The only target I'm looking for is someone who is interested in starting
a home based business. Which is exactly who you're getting on your pages
anyway.

Sure, if someone reads your stuff for a few months they'll know more about
you and be far more likely to buy if they call you.

But do you really have that much time?

If you're not talking to a double-digit number of prospects every single day,
you're probably not making any money. And you probably won't.

Remember what Todd Falcone says:
"Double digits a day keeps the checks on their way"

My tips for conversion are simple

1) Call the lead on the phone and pre-qualify

2) If they pass, send them to a live webinar (best) or recorded presentation (good)
Set an appointment to talk to them right after they've finished watching the presentation
You want to talk to them when their excitement is at its peak

3) Video email is a recruiting secret weapon. You already know that video is more effective than print, and you know why. Those reasons go double for using a video as a "get to know you" recruiting tool.
Have a generic video for people who are 5s. Make an individual video for those who are 8s.
Send the video after your phone call, but before the presentation.

4) Have a partner (your assistant) call the prospect to confirm that they have an appointment with you after the presentation. Get another commitment to attend and to keep the appointment.

5) Call and text before the presentation to remind them to be on it

3) After the presentation, call them back to ask for the sale or close

Time-saving tip:
Ask for a phone number on your capture pages
If you don't get one, don't give them another thought unless they contact you - they'll be on your email list
If the prospect leaves a number, they expect a call. Call them!

Final thought:
You can waste hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars believing that you're building your business as you meet people on Facebook, learn to set up and use a blog and learn all those fancy online marketing techniques.
Or you can buy some leads, pick up the phone, learn to be a more influential person and start making some money.
The choice is yours.
Do you have enough money to stay in business long enough to generate 20 leads a day who are calling you?

very few people can say no more than six times. Perhaps you can explain the benefits and features different ways until your prospect sees the true value in what you're offering in a way that it meets his/her needs. I know this works from personal experience…

The best prospects that turned into sales were the people who knew me.
So, my best advice on converting those prospects is get to know them and build a business of friendships.
When you call someone, they would not take it as a sales call, but a friend calling to see how they are doing. You are introducing yourself to your friends and inviting them to join you in reaching their goals. In short terms, you are inviting your friends to join you not your business.

Tools for converting prospects into sales, I think there are two: a live chat software on your website, and the email marketing software.

With live chat on your website, when the visit come to your site and have questions, they can chat with you. This gives you the best chance to introduce your services and products. If you have contact list, create a series of informational or sales emails to these contacts.

The best way to convert prospect into sales is to use the attraction amrketing method. let them see you as someone that can trully help them. no just someone that wants to make money off them. let them see you as a solution to their financial problem,

In order to make a sale, you have to believe in your product first. When you believe in the product, it would be easier to convince your prospect client to purchase whatever it is that you sell.
