I’m not talking about someone who claims they can find any idea and make it sell, I am talking about someone that is not only a talker but an action taker, cause that’s what successful marketers are. Someone that moves with the times. Marketing is about constant change and you keep up with being innovative to suit the audience. With sales it’s different your told to just sell something, in Marketing you are the one that invents the wheel!

Going out and networking with the right people and making it happen is what it’s all about both offline and online. You can be very successful and sales comes easy when you know how to market quality products and services and to the right audience. The key about marketing is you get to know your audience and their likes and dislikes by asking questions.

Questions can also be made by not necessarily by asking directly but finding out through other means, a bit like finding out where on a web page someone likes to click, you do the same with Marketing and you analyze it, and work out percentages and ratios constantly. Marketing is not for everyone, you either have it or you don’t and alot will tend to give up when they do not achieve their goals.

Always start off with a low goal, even if your goal is to achieve making money, be sure to set your goal on say making $1 a day. You will be far more pleased achieving this target and then work your way up from there, then to not achieve your target because it was too high and give up.

Making mistakes is also a great way to learn quickly, never be afraid to make a mistake. This will make you stronger and more determined. It is the stronger and more determined characters that makes a successful person.

Someone that has left university for example with all the know-how under their belt, can walk out in to the world and find that getting rejected can pull them down from getting back up and be easily lead to having low self esteem and not continuing their career path. So education is one thing but you really need the will power.

People who are go-getters understand this. I myself worked as a door to door sales man, years back and was very dedicated and wouldn’t take no for an answer, I would walk the streets of Victoria selling Satellite TV (Foxtel) to home owners in the freezing cold at night. I soon became Top salesman of Victoria in the year of 2003 out of about 100 people.

But what I learnt is the only way to sell to people who answer the door was to sell in a creative way, to change the mindset. I would find out what worked well for me and stick to it, then tweak it, then re-invent again.

Someone that can see a small idea and make it big, and not just thinking of an idea once, always thinking of ideas, someone that has creative vision and entrepreneurship skills and business mind will be a great marketer, good luck!
