Advertisement Ideas: How To Be A Sales Machine!!!

Since a young age I have honed a gift that allows me to excel at sales. People ask me all the time JDOGG how do you continue to generate sales in any position that you have held? The answer is simple know your products and ask potential customers questions. I currently work as the memorabilia manager at Sinbad Sports located at 2164 S. University Drive in Davie, FL. I have told the General Manager and The Owner that if you bring me the people I can sell them the merchandise we have. Such was the case yesterday (7/9/2016) when I generated $633.51 in sales. I was fortunate that 2 customers came in and wanted some high ticketed items like the Odell Beckham Signed Football and a Jarvis Landry Signed Football. Others cam into browse and I was able to turn them from browsers into buyers simple by showing the items. There was one family that probably had no intention of buying anything but when I interacted with their child and showed her some of the toys we had the mom asked her what she wanted and she said the Hot Wheels Loop the mom asked me how much and I said $9.99 but I will give you a 25% discount. Guess what a sale was made. In working with the customer and showing them merchandise I was able to make sales. I didn’t reach my goal of selling $1000 but had one of the better Saturdays in the store since it opened on April 29, 2016. The key to having sales is driving traffic and giving the customer what they want and not getting upset if they leave without buying anything for a no today is not a no forever. Continue reading

Advertisement Ideas: Working The Crowd!!!

As I stood out in front of Wal-Mart on Saturday 3/14/15 raising funds for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of West Boca Raton it occurred to me that one way a business can thrive is to work the crowd and use the resources they have to boost sales. Each person who came by our booth was introduced to Relay for Life and those who told me I had a great voice I handed my business card. This was a win-win situation as I helped to raise $129 while also being able to promote who I was and how I can be of service and value to others. I left that fundraiser and headed out to a concert where I worked the crowd and simply asked people if they would like to donate to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays and as a result collected $74 bringing my total to $2204.61 raised with my Relay being held on may 2, 2015 at Olympic Heights High School from 12 PM – 12 AM. Donations can be made at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2. As I walked the crowd a few people asked me for my business card so I gladly gave them my card. The key is to always have your business cards with you as you never know who may be interested in your business. Today (3/16/15) my phone rang and it was someone who met me at the concert and we are doing a one on one on Friday (3/20/15). By working the crowds at events you can increase your brand awareness and attract new people. Remember do not be shy and share who you are and how you can be of service and value to the people you meet. The worst that they will tell you is that they are not interested,

Many businesses attend trade shows and then complain that they didn’t get anything from the show. The reason is because they did not work the crowd properly. They didn’t have a captivating display that would draw an audience, they didn’t make friends with the emcee so they could get some plugs on the microphone, and they didn’t capture people’s contact information. I have emceed many trade shows and I make it a point to ask every vendor if they have video capability on their phone so we can do a quick promotional video that they can then use across their social media platforms and on their website. I also offer them an opportunity to come to The WRPBiTV Studios in Boca Raton to tape a segment to air on my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EST. The idea is to work the crowd and be of service and value. If you are hosting an event you should call 954-254-8227 to book me to emcee your event and thus help you to work your crowd and give them added value.
