Some people are born with the gift of sales and marketing and some people are not. A very small percentage of the human population has the natural gift of sales. These people are fortunate, but where does that leave the rest of the population? Are we all left out in the cold? Do we have to depend and rely on a natural salesperson to close our deals for us? No we don’t. Luckily there are a few marketing tips that we can repurpose for many different brands and industries to ease the sales process for those who are not natural salespeople.

Create compelling content

When it comes to Internet marketing, content really is king, but not just any content will work. It has to be great content that does not exist anywhere else. Companies who are producing not only more content online, but also more valuable content, are generating more sales than their competitors.

Who do you think gathers more leads, a company whose website consists of only a handful of informative articles or web pages, or a company whose website has hundreds of pieces of content that address every concern a potential customer may have? The company who has the most invaluable content always wins.

Creating content to generate sales may not seem like an instant success, but the right content can help build trust, solve problems, provide value and turn into leads which will turn into sales!

Use call to action

This is the final piece that seals the deal in the online sales world. It could be something like a simple “add to cart” button or it could be a phrase that creates scarcity. The perfect example would be, “Only 2 left at this price!” The call to action can and will vary widely across industries, but it does exist in every single one.

The main thing to consider is how well your call to action is working. You may think it is doing just fine, but you will never know until you start doing some split tests. This is the only way you are going to perfect your call to action.

Build a mailing list

If you are not currently building some type of email list, then you are missing out on some true golden opportunities. An email list can be used for a wide variety of things and in most cases the list simply keeps your company name in front of people.

Your list can also help potential customers with any type of problems they may be having. This type of list will always gather more sales with little to no efforts on your part. With a list like this, you are positioning yourself as an authority and people will start to trust you even more than they already do. Once that happens, sending an email is like printing money.

Not everyone has what it takes to be a natural salesperson, but that does not mean that we need to depend on someone who does have this gift. These three marketing tips just barely scratch the surface of the full potential out there.
