Well luck plays a huge role, but it’s not everything. Just being there and working hard is part of the process.

You are absolutely that we need to know someone high in the company who can back you to gain the sales. Else it will be worthless.

Well it depends, it’s a gamble like everything else out there with a big return. Maybe you should look into commodities?

Makes total sense Neil! Big names are getting into blogging. It wouldn’t take much to get in contact with these big guys even celebrities these days are into blogs and social networks like Twitter.

Thanks for another wonderful article Neil, although my company’s are nowhere near the millions, nor even nearly ready for sale, I’ll be sure to keep this in mind when the time comes

Well you should start playing golf. I heard at golf courses you can run in anyone if you understand me..
And probably you should drive in a decent car..

Even if people are going after a target, it doesn’t mean you can’t too. You just need a better sales pitch than all of the other sales guys.

Awesome article The only problem with that is if too many people are bashing them your blog post, it won’t be as effective. You hve 2 pick targets that most people aren’t going after.

Sales is a very long process. If you don’t have persistence, you won’t close a deal.

I have been selling for 7 years or so. After a few years you also will get good at it.

I should listen to you on this, Neil, having sold to AOL, General Motors, Viacom and Hewlett-Packard, you are definitely talking from experience. Sometimes it still beats me that you are still so young. Thanks for sharing this.

This sounds great in theory and I agree that everything possible must be done to close the sale. It is not however as easy as you make it sound. Persistence however eventually pays off.

Hey Neil, how do you get to know someone high up in the company when they hang out in places that you really can’t get into, or they don’t give you the time of day.

By: Neil Patel

Neil Patel — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:40:45 +0000

Yea, it can even lead to things like buyouts. Building relationships with high powered companies is always a good thing.

Awesome article Neil. I find that in our business, the effects of working with some high profile clients, is not directly felt until months later. However, it can pay off in even greater ways than just other sales. Building relationships is a very powerful thing.

By: Neil Patel

Neil Patel — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:13:01 +0000

That is definitely part of the equation, but who you know will only get you so far. You still need to be a good sales person at the end of the day.

References work really well in sales. You would be surprised to find out how many sales people don’t have good references.
