Profile your target customers thoroughly

One good lesson you’ll probably pick up in sales once you stay long enough in the field is that people hate being sold. Whether it’s a pair of sunglasses or an insurance policy, there are tons of people all over the world who dodge a sales associate once he or she starts that prepared sales pitch on hand.

Doing so allows your sales strategy to be tailor made based on their purchasing habits, preferences and social class among many other things that you can and should use as a basis when it comes to making a connection with them.

Diversify your selling platforms

Long ago, selling goods and services was limited to either personal selling, retailing or other forms of direct marketing wherein you have to be present or in contact with a prospective client in order to close a deal. But today, the internet has changed everything about how we live our lives including how we shop for clothes, shoes, sunglasses, accessories and any other item that we can think of.

Using online and mobile means of selling is a vital part of diversifying your selling platforms in 2013. Many industry experts and analyst have proclaimed the important role that virtual stores and mobile applications will play in bringing home the sale for merchants in the coming years.

Online shopping is becoming increasingly popular with the convenience that it brings to shoppers around the globe. Likewise, mobile apps are making everything convenient from tracking down daily expenses, to buying from virtual stores to keeping up with return and exchange policy dates.

If you are looking to stay ahead of the sales game for your business, 2013 is a great time for you to start exploring your options when it comes to selling online and on other portable devices.

But keep in mind that before investing in building a killer mobile app or a smart virtual store, it would be best for you to craft its feature in such a way that it’s appealing to your audience and it makes their lives easier while leading down to your sales funnel. The name of the game is providing value in a 50-50 manner.

And lastly, the key to your sunglasses sales success in 2013 is to evaluate, energize and maximize your sales team to provide a solid ground that will promote sustainable profitability for your business.
