Sales Maven

How To Get Your Product Mainstream When You Have Limited Time And Resources


Listen Later

Listen to Nikki's on-air coaching call with Kateri Gabriele, a Sales Maven Society member, and her business partner Roxanne Holhous. Kateri and Roxanne are both lifelong nurses and saw an opportunity to go into business together. They call their business Sim2Grow, its simulated medication administration training system, intended for nursing schools.

Kateri and Roxanne need Nikki's help with creating a strategy for sales consistency throughout the year. Selling anything in the education market is determined by their buying cycle, so Nikki suggests using a subscription model to keep money flowing year around. Because their current model sets them apart with the original product, they think the subscription model would work best on any other offers they might have for other products.

Nikki also discusses having another offer separate from the original sale, and she encourages them to have some virtual demonstration training programs consistently every month. Nikki speaks about rep firms and explains what they do and how they can be the lead generators while Kateri and Roxanne hold down full-time nursing jobs.

Kateri shares that one benefit of being a member of the Sales Maven Society is the broad range of ways Nikki shares sales strategies. She loves the support on Facebook from other members and that Nikki stays in contact, answers questions, and asks questions.

Again, Nikki's vast experience comes into play and blows her guest's minds. Nikki gave some suggestions that Kateri and Roxanne had never heard of, but they are excited to try. Nikki gives the best sales tips and tricks, so believe me, you don't want to miss any episodes of the Sales Maven Show.
