 <title>The #7 Way to Sell More by Using Social Media</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/craig-elias/trigger-event-selling/7-way-sell-more-using-social-media</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently wrote a blog post on &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/27IPNP&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The #7 Way to Use Social Media to Sell More&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you interested in sales training or coaching but don&#039;t have the budget at this time?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In that blog post I offer $1,500 worth of sales training or coaching to&lt;br /&gt;
the person who submits the most popular example of, or idea on, how to&lt;br /&gt;
use Facebook to sell more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To win you need to get the most votes for your submission.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Why Are You Telling Me This?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/gerald-sindell/genius-machine/why-are-you-telling-me</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;We get letters. So far, and it’s only been a few weeks that my book has been out, the letters have been pretty nice. No one, yet, has told me they took my advice and bankrupted their company, disinherited their kids, or run off with the circus. But it’s only Thursday. There’s still time.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>How Good is Your Goodwill?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/skip-anderson/how-sell-more-b2c-sales/how-good-your-goodwill</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Business is all about profit, and sales training can help create that profit. But sometimes profit opportunities are built in the long-term rather than the short-term (despite shareholders&#039; and others&#039; strong desire for immediacy).
&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/steve-white/trying-make-my-fortune/all-your-adult-fun-one-place</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Happy Shopping&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 1600 items on sale, boy what a choice, even so there is something for everyone, I mean everyone. After looking around and placing my order on the secure server my order arrived within 4 day&#039;s. Mind you I live in the uk so it could take a little longer internationally, but when it arrived it was fantastic quality and cheaper than most online stores. You have GOT to check this out. Total descretion is GAURANTEED everything comes in plain wrappers, so no embarrassing glances from the postman.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Death of Print by RSS</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/melissa-riley/real-estate-vine/death-print-rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The death of newspaper is being hastened by RSS, &quot;Really Simple Syndication&quot;.&lt;/strong&gt; It&#039;s a very popular way to search the internet for interesting websites and get an automatic feed of all of the new stories/topics that you want to read about. It prioritizes the immense and, quite frankly, overwhelming amount of information and retrieves it for you. Instead of scouring websites for endless, (sometimes boring) hours, all topics you identify are instantly fed to you. Most news sites, and blogs syndicate their content/information as an RSS feed.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Twitter, Twellowhood, and Monitter</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/melissa-riley/real-estate-vine/twitter-twellowhood-and-monitter</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I stumbled upon another interesting tool last night via a posting from a fellow realtor on Trulia: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twellowhood.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Twellowhood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. It gives you the ability to do a geographic search of people using &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Twitter.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. While it has taken me some time to see the value of Twitter to my business, with use of Twellowhood, it might begin to serve some purpose in zeroing in on local news or networking opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Lead Nurture as a Better Way to Sell</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/tj-mccue/sales-focus/lead-nurture-better-way-sell</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
So often, i hear from entrepreneurs and business owners about their online lead generation efforts, pay-per-click, and other methods to generate new sales.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is pretty common to hear about thousands of dollars being spent to build a list, but then never thinking about how to manage that list of prospects for the long term. I believe the answer resides in thinking about others buy cycles, processes and professional needs.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Complex Economic Climates Require Back-to-Basics Selling Skills</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/skip-anderson/how-sell-more-b2c-sales/complex-economic-climates-require-back-basics-selling-ski</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;With the world becoming frantic about what to do about the current economic crisis (understandably), companies and individuals are searching for every possible means of increasing revenue and cutting costs. Many are in survival mode.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It makes sense to look for opportunities for market diversification, broadening of product offerings and new alliances and partnerships, but while you&#039;re exploring those options, don&#039;t forget to look at what&#039;s right in front of you: improving the selling skills of your salespeople. In my opinion, it&#039;s back-to-basics time.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Photrade: Sharing, Selling and Protecting Your Photographs</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/saabira-chaudhuri/itinerant-mind/phototrade-sharing-selling-and-protecting-your-photographs</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Sharing photographs is now easier than ever before. Gone are the days when you held your breath while images attached to the email you were mass mailing to friends and family. The last five years have given rise to a plethora of photo sharing sites like Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Social networking sites have jumped on the bandwagon too -- Pownce was created around the very premise that sharing media should be easy, while Facebook, Twitpic and others are also popular places for people to share photos. 
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Selling into the Competitive Maelstrom</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/mark-walker/sales-selling-sold/selling-competitive-maelstrom</link>
 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Little doubt exists in the mind of most business people that&lt;br /&gt;
the days in which we live are perhaps the most turbulent of any in recent&lt;br /&gt;
memory.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Truth is, any time there is a&lt;br /&gt;
downturn in the amount of business activity available in any given market,&lt;br /&gt;
competition increases as suppliers of goods and services vie for a greater slice&lt;br /&gt;
of a shrinking pie.&lt;span&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Growing your&lt;br /&gt;
business in a time of general economic growth is not rocket science; in some&lt;br /&gt;
respects one need only be sensitive to the needs of the market in terms of&lt;/p&gt;
