But since inflation is a fact of life (at least in the U.S.), and we are on the road to hyperinflation, then pricing strategies are critical. Unfortunately, if hyperinflation hits, it's going to be tough no matter what. If there were no inflation, there would be no need to raise prices.

]]> Comment on What’s happening to the value of sales people? by Svend Petersen http://onesherpa.com/good-business-ideas/what%e2%80%99s-happening-to-the-value-of-sales-people#comment-93 Svend Petersen Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:46:01 +0000 http://onesherpa.com/?p=6830#comment-93 I read Michael's book a couple of years ago. I liked it alot because I've never been good at the 'closing' part of sales and so his ideas appealed to me. But after years of just trying to do check moves I still believe there is inherent value in the skill of being able to ask the right questions, present answers in the right light and pose a proposition in a way that is more likely to result in a sale. These are skills I have found very difficult to learn. The words continue to fail me and I am just not that fast off the mark. As for automated systems, yes we can write compelling newsletters and blast them out to thousands of people, but it is far more valuable to engage someone in a converstation than it is to expect them to read something that was delivered by a robot. I am a perpetual tyre kicker myself. I don't buy till I'm about to starve or someone throws me a bone. I usually dodge the floor sales staff because I know they will convice me to do something I may later regret. So where can I find a gun sales person? I read Michael’s book a couple of years ago.

]]> Comment on The seven ‘touches’ required for a sale. by Ray Keefe http://onesherpa.com/good-business-ideas/the-seven-%e2%80%98touches%e2%80%99-required-for-a-sale#comment-92 Ray Keefe Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:09:59 +0000 http://onesherpa.com/?p=6683#comment-92 An interesting idea. Most of our business gets done face to face at some point in the negotiations. But our value per sale is also quite high as we do Electronics Design and Embedded Software Development for Australian Electronics Manufacturers and developing new electronics products intended for Low Cost Electronics Manufacture in Australia from scratch is a significant undertaking. That being said, we do use our online presence to show that we are a credible organisation as well as professional sites such as LinkedIn. So in our case at least some our touches are online.

]]> Comment on How big should my list of prospects be? by Rod Schneider http://onesherpa.com/good-business-ideas/how-big-should-my-list-of-prospects-be#comment-91 Rod Schneider Thu, 05 Aug 2010 09:42:09 +0000 http://www.onesherpa.com/?p=6654#comment-91 Andee, I recently posted an article to my blog on this topic. Here's a quote from it: "A lot of people wrongly focus on getting the biggest list possible, instead of a focused list. Having a targeted list is critical. A list of 100,000 people that never buy from you does you no good. On the other hand, if you have a list of 400 hyper-responsive prospects, you will make a lot of money." You can read the rest here if you're interested: http://breakthruonline.com/how-to-sharpen-the-focus-of-your-email-marketing-campaigns/ Regards, Rod Andee,
