Tips For Closing That Consulting Deal
There are several reasons why consultants ultimately lose deals they should have won. Unless your portfolio is poor, consultants lose contracts because they either didnt listen or they didnt speak effectively to convey what services they could offer, that would help the client reach their goals. Here are a few tips to help you sell your services.
Every consultant feels that if there is anything that they do well, its talking the talk. Effective speaking is more of an art than a science. If you cant effectively convey how your services are going to help the client, you wont get the contract.
Reflect Before You React
Its human nature to say the first thing that comes to our mind when we're asked a question. Take a moment to think of what answer is best for the client. It will show that you put thought into your work and dont just plow ahead. Your clients will appreciate that. Your best reaction is not always your first reaction.
Keep It Simple Superstar
Just because you know the ins and outs of your business doesnt mean that your client will. Speak to them on their level, not yours. Keep the conversation simple and get straight to the point. If your client understands what you can do for them, they are more likely to hire you. If you try and dazzle them with industry speak, you'll lose them, and lose the contract.
You may find that if you are speaking to a perspective client on the phone, stand up. For many people, standing makes them get straight to the point.
Let the Client Talk
If you want to learn how to best position yourself, find out exactly what the client wants and ask questions to home in on what their needs are. By asking questions, you gain a better understanding of how you can help the client, and the client feels that they are part of the solution. This gives you a chance to reflect on what you can offer your prospective client.
A Little Enthusiasm Goes A Long Way
Your client feels passionate about what they do, and if you show that you are passionate and enthusiastic about providing them the solution they want, you'll get the client onboard. Enthusiasm will open many doors for you.
Lets Get Personal
It takes experience and a watchful eye, however, if you show your client that they are more than just another big deal for their portfolio you will learn how to best work with them. Treat all clients the same way, and you will find your schedule empty of projects. Remember that clients say things for a reason. If they volunteer that they cant talk right now because they are getting ready for Bobby's birthday party on Saturday, on your follow up call, ask them casually how the party went. Don't pry, and don't send balloons. By casually asking about the party, you show that you pay attention to details. Knowing how successful the party was will prepare you on how to approach the conversation.
Remember that you need to sell to the customer's needs, not your skills. Master this and you will have a long career as a consultant.

This is article marketing as it should be
Article marketing isn't new by any stretch. It's as old as Internet marketing itself.
It sounds like a great way to profit, doesn't it? Nothing could be simpler than writing an article to target some "low hanging fruit" keywords, posting it at an article site, and watching the traffic roll in.
Yep, sure sounds great...until you realize that you'll need to write until your fingers fall off.
That's the other part of the article marketing story. You have to write A LOT.
Oh, it works, but it's a pain in the neck...until now.

I bet you've heard people claim article marketing is dead.
In a way, they're right.
The competition for good keywords these days is so insanely strong, that if you try to do all the work by hand, you'll end up spending all day every day writing until you can't stand it anymore.
Think about it...
You have to write an article, which most non-writers are scared to death to do, and most writers hate doing. Then you have create lots of versions of it so you can post unique flavors of it at multiple article sites, and include the content on your own site. It doesn't take a genius to imagine how long that's going to take.
So the natural solution most people end up trying is to use software to "spin" articles into multiple versions.
Makes sense, but here's what most people who sell article "spinners" won't tell you...the output sounds like a drunk monkey hammered it out by hitting keys randomly.
Yes, it's often that bad.
So you're stuck. You can write the articles yourself, or you can hire a writer to do it, and squash your profit margins.
And that doesn't even mention how much work it'll take you to submit all of those articles. Oh, the horror!
Well, Mass Article Control gets you past being crushed under the waith of all that work. And it does it with the press a few buttons.
It's actually two products rolled into one:
1) Mass Article Creator - This is what creates your articles based on an original (you still have to write that one, or hire a writer, but it's ONE article). It's the best article writing software on the market, bar none. The output is fantastic, like a pro wrote it by hand.
2) Mass Article Submitter submits your articles to the top 10 online article sites automatically.
Do you see the power of this?
It's like having your own article writing and submitting staff slaving away for hours every day just to feed you free traffic. But you don't pay for the labor!
While most article marketers are working (or spending) themselves to death, you produce one seed article, click your mouse a few times and unleash the free traffic deluge.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like the kind of "work" I like.
Best of all, with a powerful tool like Mass Article Control on your side, you can invade any niche you want, elbow your competitors out of the way, and be king of the mountain in no time. In minutes, you'll have a phalanx of high-quality funneling you free traffic.
That's the kind of competitive advantage you need, and it's out there waiting for you.
Here's to your article marketing success!
