Download or read book How to Sell by Independent Sales Agents A Step by Step Guide to Working with an Independent Sales Representative written by Meir Liraz and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide will walk you step by step through all the essential phases of using independent sales agents and sales reps to sell your products or services. The independent sales agent (also called 'sales representative') may be the answer for business owners who have problems with selling. In some cases, the problem may be that there are not enough prospects to justify putting a full-time sales force on the factory's payroll. In other cases, because of heavy schedules, the sales staff may be missing opportunities to cultivate new accounts. This guide provides guidelines that should help the owner-manager of a small company to determine whether or not a sales agent is needed. Pointers are also given on how to choose an agent and how to work profitably with him or her. My name is Meir Liraz and I'm the author of this book. According to Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all business failures analyzed can be traced to poor management. This is backed up by my own experience. In my 31 years as a business coach and consultant to businesses, I've seen practically dozens of business owners fail and go under -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work. And that is where this book can help, it will teach you how to avoid the common traps and mistakes and do everything right the first time.
