In order to be successful in marketing and sales, you have to understand how to create a situation where a person will be inclined to buy what you have to offer.
Good marketing is about tapping into needs that already exist. It makes more sense to focus on helping people buy things they want, because everyone loves to buy what they want!
Applying this principle alone will help to ensure that you target specific needs people have and by providing a solution to that need, you will get more sales.
I like to think of marketing as creating a situation where people can buy on their own. They have to feel like they came to the decision themselves. It has to feel natural.
The way to do this, is to start by getting information. You have to understand the customers need to best cater for it. This means asking the right questions and building from the feedback you get. In other forms of marketing like a website or video presentation, it means doing thorough research about your market and prospects beforehand. You have to know what they need and put yourself in your prospect’s shoes first. You should be asking the question "Would I Buy This?" and know that you can confidently say Yes.
Once you've shown someone that you are truly interested in providing a solution to them and they can get the things they want and care about, you've got their undivided attention and loyalty. Then, when you actually do need them to look at your sales offer, they will be happy to go ahead and make that purchase.

6 Principles to Help Improve Your Sales
The following principles based on sales psychology can help you to improve the efficiency of your selling process.
You can implement some of these ideas to make sure you get the most out of your marketing efforts.
Here are the 6 universal factors that guide sales decision making:
- Reciprocity: People like to follow the "Return the Favor" concept. So surprise your potential customers and give them something first that is personalized and unexpected. This also makes them feel you have value to offer them.
- Scarcity: People want more of those things there are less of. They also want to have things that others have a high demand for. You must create this impression on the customer with your presentation. You also have to clearly show them the value on offer, they want to know how they can benefit and "what's in it for them". You'll also need to point out what is unique about your sale and what they stand to lose if they don't take your offer.
- Authority: People follow the lead of credible and knowledgeable experts. Signal to others what makes you a knowledgeable authority before you attempt to sell them. Show them the endorsements you have from other clients or companies and how your product has a proven track record.
- Consistency: Ask for small initial commitments, that are easily made, this activates consistency. When seeking to influence for a sale, ask the client to do voluntary small tasks and create active engagements that will drive them to the final call to action.
- Liking: People say yes to those they like. Look for areas of similarity that you share with others. Show them other groups of people that have already bought the product and that they will feel they can relate to. Compliment them for having an interest in your brand and offer. Show them gratitude for their time and giving their attention to learning about your offer. All this can help before you start talking business.
- Consensus: People will look at the actions of others to determine their own. Rather then relying on your own ability to persuade others, you can point out what similiar poeople are already doing. This helps to generate a feeling of wanting to be a part of the group or also wanting to own that product.
You can implement some of these ideas to make sure you get the most out of your marketing efforts.

Make Your Dream Job A Reality
Everyone thinks they know what their dream job would look like. Tons of recognition, pleasurable work, and big rewards are just the broad strokes. But what does it take to really find a job like this? Here are four points on how to turn your dream job into a reality.
1. What Is Your Dream?
The first step to landing a dream job is knowing what your dream job is. Now consider if that is a job that actually exists. Because your expectations may not line up with reality, your fixation on something that isn’t realistic could set you up for failure. If the dream job you want really is attainable though, having a clear idea of what the job entails and what you need to do to get it is the essential first step to getting that job.2. Talk to People Who Do What You Want to Do
Make friends, talk to people, make sure they know your name and what you’re about, then ask if they know if anyone is hiring. Your connections are going to give you an entryway into the field you’re so fixated on. There are jobs that never get posted to the want ads or job search sites like Craigslist. They come up within companies or industry trade talk and are filled either by someone in-house or by people who someone in-house has recommended. The latter is what your connections are for. The more people you know within the target industry, the closer you’ll be to the job of your dreams.3. Paying Your Dues
When you get that first foot in the door, expect it to hurt a little bit. At the entry level there is going to be a lot of competition and not a lot of reward for the work you are going to be asked to do. There are many cases, such as some internships, where you may not even get paid. This level of the dream job journey is crucial. Many people will not4. The Necessity of a Nightmare Job
Landing your dream job isn’t something that is going to happen after just a few days of work. It’s going to take a lot of time and effort for you to build the contacts and networks you need to land that perfect position, and unfortunately that means holding onto the nightmare job you have right now. Maybe calling it a nightmare is a stretch—maybe not—all you know is that it’s not what you really want to be doing with your life. Sometimes you can start working or interning for that dream job even while you still clock into the nightmare for most of the week. Despite the stress, humiliation, and drudgery, the paycheck at the nightmare job may keep you solvent while you work your way up to dream job success.How to Become an Online Entrepreneur

What made me so successful is basically, a savvy internet marketing automation program that can turn websites into pure money making machines.
Having your own online business is one of the wisest investments you can make, seeing as Global E-Commerce is a several hundred Billion dollar industry. Global e-commerce sales made via mobile devices are expected to top $638 billion in 2018, according to a forecast from Goldman Sachs. You can be a part of that! Getting even a fraction, the tiniest little slice of that pie can amount to hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for you.

After you set up your personal websites, you don’t ever have to do any maintenance to them. It’s like clocking into work for one day and getting paid regularly for the rest of your life. You basically only have that one task to complete, spread it on the web and after that you can just wait for the money to start showing up. Because your sites are passively doing the work for you, your life is essentially free to live. You keep earning money months or even years after your sites go live.
Now, it should be pointed out that some people will be more successful using internet marketing than others. There have been a lot of people who have managed to turn the internet into a cash machine. They don’t all pull in the million dollars a year that some online marketers do, but they definitely walk away with money they don’t have to do much to earn.
