Be very careful when you enter into one as they're generally a long term prospect, and require constant work and attention.Selling is the art of “selling without selling”. In reality, we must endeavour to never appear to be a salesman. Online it's different in that we must enter into a relationship, understand the course to a solution, and provide it naturally.We all have a period in each day when we do our best work. We should embrace this time as our premium period, and adjust our workday accordingly.We are far too distracted these days. The key is to quieten the noise and align our focus, so as to drastically improve productivity.BEST MOMENTS‘I have 4 thinking hours per day where I do my best work' 'The main thing is don't look like a salesman!' ‘Figure out how to build something once and sell it twice' ‘We need to put a lot more emphasis on focus' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast Smart Brand Marketing - https://smartbrandmarketing.comTom Libelt Twitter - https://twitter.com/tomlibeltwww.wemarketonlinecourses.comABOUT THE HOST Gavin Preston Gavin is an inspirational Speaker, Business Strategist, Business Growth Mentor, Trainer andhigh-performance Coach.  He works with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs and has a strong track record in creating creative strategies to accelerate the growth of their business.
