This will cover both Sex as a Sales Model parts 3 and 4 (since last week’s update was late). I haven’t received any public comments on either piece of content, but what you’ve all given me privately is great. I will admit that neither post is really along the “don’t f*ck on the first date” theme, but they still carry some very important and illustrative lessons.
The most important thing to remember when reading this content is the parallel drawn between successful sales practices and “appropriate” sexual interaction. I use quotes around appropriate because, well, a drive-by blow job isn’t necessarily appropriate … but it creates an excellent image for advertising.
I have at least one more concept along these lines that I’ll be using on Wednesday. However, I’d like to open things up at this point for reader suggestions. What lessons has sex taught you that applies to closing sales with success? Try to keep everything somewhat clean, and try as best as you can to not use personal examples.
Coming next week …
Monday – Celebrity
Wednesday – MORE BOOK CONTENT
Friday – Discussion of Wednesday’s post
What exactly is the value of MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price)? I started a part-time job in a retail outlet last week, and I realized just how much of a discounts people were getting over the typical retail price. In some cases, a product normally priced at $220 is being sold for just $99. That’s a HUGE discount … if you consider the MSRP to be the value of the product.
