As I prepare to head to head to the Commission Junction University conference one of the trade show prep items on my list it to figure out how to use my snazzy new iPhone 3GS as a sales tool so I don’t have to lug my massive 17″ laptop with me. In many ways it is an amazing device, however I am not sure if it is up to the challenge of supporting all of my essential sales tasks while on the road.

Here are the ideas and results so far:

As I learn more about selling Affiliate Marketing Management services, I am getting a real education in online marketing, and how to sell things online. Although I am “the Sales Guy”, my formal education is in Marketing. And besides, I was in Pharma for over a decade. Ethical Pharma doesn’t sell anything directly online. But I digress… I stumbled on a sales model that I had seen done MANY times before, with mixed results. Yola.com has adopted the “Freemium...

As a professional seller of Affiliate Marketing management services, you might expect that I would be frantically packing in preparation for Affiliate Summit East.

Frantic packing:  Check!

Destination Affiliate Summit: Che… hey, wait a minute. What do mean the extended family vacation that we scheduled last year… back when I was in still in the Pharma industry… overlaps with Affiliate Summit!?

Ok, I admit it! This started as a blatant attempt to get more traffic on my blog by posting the name of the recent American Idol winner in the title.

Then I thought about how current events drive traffic on the web, and how that traffic drives sales. For example, soccer.com is a retail soccer merchant. I think it is fair to say that they are hoping to get additional sales from the interest generated by the World Cup next year. I suspect that all soccer retailers are already...

I won’t be so presumptous as to expect that anyone noticed that I haven’t written in a few days.

But I promise you, I haven’t. Really. You can check.

What do I mean? If you haven’t read my post on Sales success in a down economy, go check it out. The steps listed there are highly transferable to the job search ...
