Creating the Irresistible Offer
Sales and marketing guru Tony Gattari, of the Achievers Group, says with so much average marketing clutter bombarding consumers, it's important to find a point of difference. An irresistible offer must provide something for the customer before you win their business. It may be something to help in their business or their lifestyle, but it must be memorable, and something you can promote. Think outside the square: "we've always done it this way" is not acceptable.

Pain to pleasure for sales results
Tony Gattari, of Achievers Group, believes it can be necessary to inflict a little pain on a potential customer before concluding a sale. He argues that what the customer doesn't want has to be identified so that the salesperson can then provide the help that will solve the customer's problem. The pain is then converted into the pleasure of needs fulfilled

Improving your average dollar sales
The greatest way to build a business is to reduce the cost of getting a client, then to increase the life span of that client relationship. Tony Gattari is passionate about that mantra. Himself a master salesman after many years in senior sales management with Harvey Norman, he calls it managing your average dollar sales. He says first we have to measure it, then train the sales team to understand its importance. Tony says that one way to do that is to offer package deals.

Selling to Different
Personality Types
Don't
ever think about a
stereotypical approach
to your selling, because
one size does not fit
all. Sales wizard Tony
Gattari makes that plea
to everyone in business.
He says that because
everyone is different,
so too must your sales
approach be different.

Lessons in negotiation
We've
heard so many times that
all things are
negotiable – but that
doesn't help those for
whom negotiating doesn't
come naturally. There
are subtle tricks to the
art, however, according
to Tony Gattari –
himself a master
negotiator after many
years as a senior sales
executive with the
Harvey Norman group.

Fundamentals on winning in business
Follow your dreams, aim high - and don't be scared of big visions. Those words from Peter Irvine, an advertising man who turned his talents to franchising and to co-found the successful chain of Gloria Jean's Coffees. Gloria Jean's Coffees has grown to more than 400 stores around Australia, setting new industry trends. The lesson - one of many in his new book "Win in Business" - is to beware being swayed by the advice of others.

The need to up-sell &
cross-sell
One of
the fundamentals in a
successful business is
selling well. Tony
Gattari's main claim to
fame is the huge growth
he achieved in computer
sales at Harvey Norman
and since then he has
been advising
businesses. He believes
in the absolute need to
up-sell and cross-sell
and argues they
shouldn't be used as
dirty words.

Avoiding marketing
mistakes
If you
want to avoid making
marketing mistakes you
must understand who your
"A class" customers are.
That's one of the first
lessons Tony Gattari
learned when he went
into the marketing
business after a long
career in the corporate
world. He readily admits
that he blundered badly
when he had the wrong
focus with his first
small business client.
