The intermediate of wholesalers and retailers has declined significantly due to electronic commerce. Now, almost all products are available without going to a local. Consumers can access the Internet to pictures of any product, read the specifications, find the best price and terms from online suppliers and place orders and pay.

The expensive printed catalogs have disappeared. Purchasing B2B (business to business) over the Internet increased even faster than the consumer online shopping. The purchasing managers of companies acquired by Internet Articles usual: either advertise what they need and expect a reply from a supplier, or simply browse your selected websites.

Traffic decreased physical premises retailers. In response to this, there are more enterprising retailers that offer entertainment and entertainment rooms built their businesses. Many libraries, local food and clothing including bars and auditoriums for lectures and performances. What essentially promote and sell these places is an experience, rather than an assortment of products.

Most companies have built proprietary databases with a wealth of information about preferences and requirements of each client, and uses that data to make a mass customization of offers to individuals. A growing number of companies presented online product platforms, in which customers design the items they want. Many auto companies, computer, appliance and food invite customers to visit their Web pages and design the offer (product, service, system or programs) in a form to be filled with your preferences. The image of the modified product is then displayed on the screen.

Companies are finding imaginative ways to go beyond customer expectations, and thus improve retention. As a result, competitors find it increasingly difficult to acquire new customers. Therefore, most spend their time trying to figure out how to sell more products and services to existing clients.

The organizations focus on creating customer participation rather than market share. Many have found new ways to increase both the level of sales in general and cross-selling. Gain greater knowledge and understanding of customer segment and from their databases by applying new and more effective techniques for interpreting the information. Finally, the companies got their accounting departments generate real numbers on profitability by segment, individual customer, product, channel and geographic unit. Now, focus on customers, products and more profitable channels, and are putting together packages of rewards for these clients. The company went from a perspective based on the transaction to one based on developing customer loyalty.

Make the sale, keep in mind that working with a human being who wants to find an answer, a solution to a need. People, for example, when going to a mall or when you surf the Internet, is, in theory, looking for a product or a service. But here begin the questioning. Will this product is what I want?

The product is not really what the customer is buying, what they are buying is actually a result, however, if you look further the result is not the end of the process. Whatever the outcome is the benefit that this product can give the customer a benefit that further contribute to the solution of a problem it has.

Given this it should bring a typical example used in advertising: “People do not buy drills, holes people buy.”
This can be explained well. People do not buy the drill, which in this case is the product, people buy the hole that is the result, but it does not end the matter, what people buy is the benefit that can give you, for this example could be to hang a picture on the wall.

Say this person is just moving house and want to hang a picture and there is a hole to put the screw to hang a picture, that is the benefit, but what’s the solution? Sounds silly but it could be that the wife continually repeated “three weeks ago we moved house and has not hung the picture on the wall” That’s the problem and the purchase of the product you are looking for the solution to that specific problem.

This example is suddenly something quite funny and simple, and may not be used in an advertisement for holes larger problem exists that, but it clearly illustrates a point you want to reach. This is the process in which a customer decides to buy a drill, but his psychology followed all a way to conclude the purchase. Probably did not need a drill, there are probably other ways to hang the picture, but then see another point to understand more thoroughly the issue.

Let’s experiment. Look at your computer monitor, divide it by 4 points at one end. On the first point, place the product in the second division the result for the client, the benefit in the third and last solution to the problem. That is the process of study, introspection, that’s the essential formula for creating a good sales letter.

With these four steps the letter will be successful. The product is presented in the first instance, we begin to specify the output provides the purchasing. Then describes the benefits and finally, the solution to the problem. All this can be done in video, audio and also following the same scheme to produce an excellent, productive and competitive sales letter.

An economists’ forecast that inflation will be 4% next week and will most likely be wrong. No, not the scientists who do a good job and a bad economist. The problem is the nature of the data that each work. The data that we use in economics, always, by definition, wrong. “Wrong? Maybe I’m too far away, I mean, old, past, or simply does not reflect the current reality. They reflect the reality of the past.

Economists will be asked to provide a vision or figure what would, for example, the economic dynamics in the next quarter. Very difficult task if one takes into account all the information and the best in the world delayed and did not reflect this. To simplify this argument, think about your business. Can you, today, to say what level of sales this quarter.

Difficult task, especially if we assume that your company’s sales and themes inherent in the product, branding, advertising, etc., will be affected by inflation, overall economic growth, investment, type of contrast, etc. But if you can not say how much they will sell economists, how economists to provide a projection that are more or less realistic than what would occur in the environment.
