How to Successfully Sell at a Premium

By

Do you work in an industry where there is a BIG player and you are selling the same stuff?

Maybe you find yourself continually having to justify your price …

Or, you know that you need a community of followers who are willing to pay top dollar for our products, but just seem to attract price comparers?

If any of those situations resonated, 👀 tune in to this short video to hear my conversation with @MarkWales about how he uses story to sell his high-ticket fashion lines.

Mark’s story is SUPER interesting and more than just another fashion story….

Before launching Kill Kapture, he spent 16 years in the military and completed 10 Tours of Duty – 6 of those year’s in Australia’s most gruelling cohort of Special Operations (SAS).

Want to hear more?

Join us on Wednesday, 4th November, when Mark shares the story of how he has managed to double his revenue in the past 12 months, selling jackets that cost more than $2,000 a piece.

Join us VIRTUALLY or PHYSICALLY on the Gold Coast.

A Rising Tide Lifts All Ships

By

A rising tide lifts all ships. This is a mantra that we have inside The Business League. 

In 2019 we organised a collaborative Brewers Lunch with three of the best breweries in Australia. These leaders from each brewery were all more than happy to get together and share what they were doing, how they were doing it with each other and share it with a group of 40-business owners.  [Read more…]

Three Keys to Your Networking Success

Three Keys to Your Networking Success

Last week I asked you about what the ROI [Return on Investment] was you wanted from your business networking.

 It’s an important question that I don’t think networkers understand enough. 

 You see the most common answer to the question “What do you want from your networking”

 Is “MORE BUSINESS”.

 And I think most people who have given this answer have missed the boat.

 There is so much more to networking then getting more business.  BUT until you are clear on what the ROI is you want, and explore all the options you will stay chasing more business.

 Don’t get me wrong more business is a result you should expect from networking.  

However, and here’s the kicker, if you go into networking just for ‘more business’, then you are going to become one of those networkers.  Yes I’m talking about those people who only talk about themselves and always try and sell to you.

 Don’t become that person.

NETWORKING TACTIC #22

As part of our Networking Events, we support business owners network.  And I wanted to share a networking tactic that you can use immediately.

It’s about Paul.

Paul had been networking for years and thought himself a pretty good networker.  To a certain degree he was. He got results. Networking was a valuable marketing tool for our business.

Anyway we had him complete an exercise as part of his involvement in The Business League.  This was we asked him what his Ideal client was.  

Paul’s answer got to the heart of the most common networking mistake we see.

Networking Mistake #3

Networking Mistake #3

Previously I have written about 2-mistakes that I witnessed in 2018.

This next one is critical and can be the difference between money and friends.

By friends I mean people you have relationship with, but don’t give you business.

By money I mean SALES, SALES, SALES.

In the past 12-months I know at least half a dozen Business Owners who have lost business or not won the business because of this mistake.

So I wanted to share it with you.

Mistake #3

I can list at least 6 sales that business owners didn’t get because of this mistake.

So here it is…

Networking Mistake #2

Networking Mistake #2

Last week I shared with you, as a direct result of talking to some of you, one of the major problems of business owners networking.  

I now want to share with you the second mistake.

There are many variations to this challenge that business owners create for themselves, however at the core of it is this.

You are not clear on how you are creating value for your connections.

And NO I’m not talking about the widget you sell or the service you deliver.  This isn’t the aim in creating value. This approach causes you problem and gets you into the ‘sleazy salesman’ reputation. You don’t want that.
