For Months

I was reluctant about telling my story because I felt it wasn't unique and there are probably a million and one stories like mine on the Internet right now. But then it hit me that my story is the truth of what I went through and truth doesn’t have to be unique or fancy, it only has to be the truth. And, right now people need the truth to navigate their paths on this Earth, not to mention stories from many others have helped to shape my path and brought me to this point where I can share my own story.

Being a professional model in New York City afforded me the uncommon opportunities to travel the world, meet lots of celebrities, have the best that the world has to offer, and live my best life. I was literally on top of the world and I didn't lack anything. But then in 2010 the unexpected happened and I came crashing down from my ivory tower to the deepest ditch. It was like a movie and it played right before my eyes and I had no control over anything.

Tired and depressed, I went back home and began sleeping on my parent's couch. My parents were understanding of the situation but I still felt bad and each time my mom & dad passed by and saw me sleeping on the couch, the shame and guilt I felt for failing them grew a thousand times. I even contemplated suicide because I couldn't see the need for my continued existence but God didn't let me go through with it.

I prayed to God for years and for a countless number of times but it felt like he wasn't listening to any of my prayers. But even when I didn't get any answer or sign from God, I never stopped praying, laughing, dancing, and thanking him even for the couch. Psalm 91 was my prayer partner.

Then it happened in 2020, ten years after my life took a turn for the worst, God gave my life a complete 180 degree turnaround which includes my skincare/clothing line and books through Dream Sugar Cafe, and till today I still can't explain how it happened and why God did it for me. I thought God had left me, but He showed me that He was and has always been on my side. I am still on this journey and I know He has beautiful plans for my life and future. 

Now I am here to tell you that no matter what you are going through and even though I know that what I faced doesn't compare to what many others have seen or are seeing in their lives today, I still believe your condition is not beyond what God can turnaround. He is not sleeping and will never sleep because of you. Keep trusting and putting him first in your lives. Your time of visitation is near.

Executive Summary

It all begins with an idea whether you want to launch a business, turn a hobby into something more, or have a creative project to share with the world. Yes, a hot and innovative idea or product is good but there’s no point in having one if you cannot successfully market it.

A lot of people are not aware of the immense significance of selling. It is one of the most valuable skills anyone can possess. Every time I talk to business owners about selling, I am bombarded with questions like,

🍃How is it possible to sell to anyone?

🍃Do you think anyone can do it because I don’t have a single selling bone in my body?

🍃Must a person be good at selling to have a successful business?

The truth is, we are all salespeople. It’s either you’re selling or someone else is selling to you. Remember that time you convinced your friend to come visits you or your kid to finish his cereal before school. You were selling something in those situations. So, the traditional salespeople are not the only ones into selling.

Selling is quite easier than most people think. Since you’re already a natural seller, you can become great at selling anything to anyone by taking some simple steps. In this eBook, we will explore the mechanics of selling anything to anyone. Also, I will provide you with helpful tips and techniques that you can apply to any sales situation whether you’re selling online, face-to-face, or over the phone.

Let’s go!

You just have to do the work!

Maybe before starting your business, you scrolled one too many social media pages and thought, “I can do that.” The problem is, social media posts are only part of the story and while it may look wonderful on the surface, there is a lot that goes into running a business. You can see the potential profit and highlights or the wonderful benefits of being a business owner but when the realities of day-to-day duties set in, you will understand that it’s far from being glamorous.

With that said, starting your own business is easier said than done. So let me ask you “Why are you starting your business?” The “Why” is the core of your business and please do not say it is money for that is a recipe for disaster, frustration, and for you to be upset and broke. After mastering your why, the next thing to do while on this journey, is to start with one thing, master it, and as your audience grows invest in yourself and scale your business to the next level.

In all this, you must never forget to put in the work. Don’t be deceived and don’t deceive yourself into thinking that you can achieve real success in your business without doing the work necessary for it to happen. It doesn't work like that.

Email marketing will play a crucial role in being successful and profitable with your online business. The list will help build the trust, know, and like factor with your audience and nurture them into becoming your customer. How do you nurture your customers? Through an email sales funnel.

Marketing your product to an audience and they didn’t instantly buy from you shows your lack of knowledge. This is a classic mistake that most people tend to make. You cannot just assume that every prospect will instantly become a customer.

The truth is that buying is an entire process and a journey and until you learn how to move your customer through these various stages of the funnel to the point where they buy from you, then you’re not doing it right.

Your funnel needs to identify a problem which your business will solve. This creates awareness. This funnel also needs to pique the interest of your would-be customers. This will cause the buyer to want to engage with your product or service. This engagement will often lead to a purchase. There is a step-by-step guide about this topic towards the end of this eBook.

🍃Digital Product Delivery: PulleyApp, Gumroad, and Payhip

Using a system to send your products out right after purchase is a game changer for you and your buyers. Not to mention digital delivery will save you time.

Tips, Tricks, & Techniques to Sell YOUR Product to Anyone!

This may sound backwards but even if you don’t have a product or service to sell start building your audience.

A common mistake among innovators and business owners is that they build a product or service before looking for a market for it instead of the other way round. After you’ve identified the problem your product or service is providing a solution for, the next thing is to grow a list of the people who want this solution that you are offering.

You will have far more success in your business whether it’s a B2B, retail, or auto sales business, if you take your time to find the target audience that is right for your product instead of wasting your time, energy, and resources on prospects who will end up being poor fits.

Identify what you will sell and then choose a format, whether its ebooks, masterclasses/webinar, or courses and move on.

The next logical question is, “What will I sell to this audience list that I have grown?” There are a billion and one products to sell in the online space but because it’s a competitive space, you cannot just sell everything.

If you wish to make money, then your best shot is to stand out. And how can you do that? You must identify a niche market where your product will stand out, then go on to milk the market. If you want to sell eBooks, you would be doing so against established sellers but if you decide to narrow it down to only cookbooks, this allows a specific audience, reduces the competition, and increases your chances of making money.

Do your due diligence about your product/service and its target market

Once you have established what you want to sell and in what format, your next move is to conduct a high-end market research about your product so you can figure out if your target audience will buy what you have to offer—and if so, how much they will be willing to pay for it.

When you educate yourself about your product's market, it becomes easier to correctly price them. How? When you understand the value, your product is providing to the market and why it’s different from those of your competitors, then you can price it right. Get psychological and analytical about this.

Make sure your product is priced right. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because your price is lower than those of your competitors, it will automatically translate to better sales for you. People will choose to pay a premium for a product whose quality they are OK with while turning down the one they feel is overpriced. Find the balance so you can price your product right.

Also, conduct surveys, both formally and informally, to know people's reactions to your product. Also, don’t forget to offer a bonus, guarantee, and tiered pricing. Also, create bundles, and provide ongoing support. Lastly, keep your expenses in mind and don’t be afraid to raise the price if needed.

Stay flexible. Whether you are launching a new product or improving an old one, understand that you're on a learning path so your 'perfect plan' may need some tweaking or a complete makeover. Have this at the back of your mind.

From Selling to Sales! Plan out your business with the following marketing strategies.

An excellent product with the right pricing pushed to the right market may not yield the needed result if it's not well marketed. It's not enough to have a product, you must be able to sell it if you want to make money with it. Here are some great marketing options to consider:

🍃Host a Webinar

One of the ways to stay competitive in the online space is to host a live online educational presentation during which participating viewers can submit questions and comments about your business. This will help provide more information about your product, and what consumers stand to gain.

🍃Send out Emails

Another means is to collect quality email addresses and write short and catchy email newsletters. This will help better your success rates because it will communicate future offers, discounts, new product releases, and promotions to both current and prospective customers. You can also use this medium to ask for feedback about your products or service.

🍃Record Videos

The use of demonstration videos will allow prospective customers to see how your product or service works. It also helps to point out the value of your product and its benefits to your current customers and prospects.

🍃Use Social Media

One of the biggest gifts in this age to marketing is social media. It provides you with the opportunity to connect to customers in a more personal and authentic way. And this raises the likelihood of these customers engaging with you and buying your product.

Contrary to what you have heard success rarely happens overnight, therefore; grow your business.

One of the traits of successful salespeople and business owners is their ability to take the long view. You cannot expect your new product to reach a million people on the first day it enters the market. Understand that it’s a process and it can sometimes take time to mature.

All the steps it takes to become a successful business owner online cannot be taken all at once. Take your first step, no matter how small, then continue to improve and refine your product along the way, and before you know it, you will be amassing great sales.

The Trick and Best Kept Advice

Selling can come naturally but if you want to be a phenomenal salesperson so you can close every sale you need to do whatever it takes to learn how to be that great salesperson! I think the best person to learn from is a car salesperson. If they can sell something for thousands of dollars, they can surely help you sell something for five dollars or more.

Here are some tricks using the acronym F.A.I.T.H. that I promised you at the beginning of this eBook.

🍃Focus: Your primary goal is to sell your product, but in this attempt don’t make the mistake of overcomplicating things just to sound superior. Focus on sharing the value of your product with the average person. Stop overselling and do less talking than the other person. Let your audience know the essence of your product and forget about any unnecessary embellishment which may end up obtruding the real message that you’re trying to get across.

🍃Attitude: Understand that buyers are not only buying a product, but they’re also buying the person behind the product. So, your attitude matters when you present your product to them. Be sure to present what they want to buy with a cheerful outlook. Listen and pay attention to what they’re saying.

🍃Integrity: Let them know what you have to offer and if it’s something similar to what they want, tell them. Don’t try to pull a wool over their eyes. Don’t promise them a 3-day delivery date when you know it will take 5 days. Also, don’t tell them your product can solve four problems when it can only solve two.

🍃Trust: Know that before anyone can allow you to take their hard-earned money in exchange for your product, they must trust you or your product to a reasonable extent. This is one of the reasons people avoid new products from unknown producers. You can help build their trust by finding out what their objections or questions are and do your best to answer them.

🍃Honesty: It’s good to have vast knowledge about the product you’re presenting to the people but far better to make sure you’re presenting them with the right information. Don’t exaggerate the solution provided by your product. Don’t lie to them. If they find out that you’re lying, it will be difficult to convince them to buy from you ever again. Answer their questions honestly and close the sale.

In Conclusion

Selling effectively to anyone requires a combination of people skills, product knowledge, and understanding the needs and motivations of your customers. Here are a few more tips to help you improve your sales skills:

🍃Create a Sense of Urgency: Encourage your customer to act by creating a sense of urgency. Highlight time-limited promotions, limited stock, or any other factors that make immediate action desirable.

🍃Follow Up: Don’t forget to follow up or follow through with your potential customer after the initial conversation. This shows your commitment and provides an opportunity to answer any additional questions they may have.

Remember, each customer is unique, so adapt your approach to suit their personality, preferences, and buying style. With practice and experience, you’ll become more skilled at selling to a wide range of individuals.
