1. The first and foremost ingredient of being rich is Inheritance, if you have inherited wealth from your fore fathers, you automatically become rich. It is one of the easiest ways to get money in your kitty without any sheer hard work. But at the same time, if your family has nothing to give you, you loose out on all the wealth.
2. The second prime important things to make money are your physical attributes, in the world of media – glamour and passion are important. If you have athletic look, are good at sports, attractive styling then you might enter the world of modeling that will help you make enough money.
3. To start up something of your own, need knowledge about that particular field, if you have knowledge and are determined to achieve your targets it will help you make million bucks in just a few seconds, believe me. The high IQ helps you to be ahead of the race without a doubt!
4. Money doesn’t grow on trees; you have put in efforts to earn that reputation and wealth in the market. You will only make money when you are willing to put that many efforts in earning money, do something different and win the match.

For some, the above methods might be easy, for some it might be difficult. There are some qualities an individual is good at and some they are bad at, but everybody has been gifted by some unique quality by God, I truly stand by this fact and I have confidence that even you can become rich by discovering that quality in you, which you are good at and find the path of making money.

I have come across so many people in my life, had so many acquaintances and so many people I dealt business with, I have found one truth to success that you got to have good Reputation in market to go ahead in life. Did I just say that the word “Business” gets so closer to the word “Reputation”, when we talk about any business partnerships or joint ventures, the first thing that comes in any one’s mind, is the person’s reputation, whether he carries good reputation in the market? In the business world, Reputation is all people ask for when signing the papers, if you don’t have good reputation how are you going to sell? When people buy products from you, they have expectations from you regarding the quality of the product, the use, the service, etc. if you have been doing business since last 5 years and are providing good customer service and quality products then its more likely your business will continue for more 50 years.

As they say, “First impression is the last impression”, while starting a business venture make sure to provide the best of services and quality products to your customers and continue with it forever. If you are really determined to make a strong hold in market, you have to come out with innovative ways to build a good reputation of your brand name in the market. Given below are some of the 3 best effective ways to build a good reputation for longer period:

1. If you are a starter in business, then the best and quickest way to build reputation is through Parnerships, when you partner with good reputed firms, your company will gain same reputation and it would be easier for you to sell products in market. I know, its difficult to get large companies to partner with small firms but you can convince them of your skills and talent and also by taking lesser share they might agree to take you in. The end motive is to build reputation and not the money what you make.
2. Another best way is to Associate yourself with well known people in the industry, when you get some famous well known personalities talking about your business, people are surely going to look up to you to partner with. You can get people to invest in your company, show them your skills by working hard and providing quality products to your end users. In such cases, networking helps, when you are part of a larger social network you can ask the well known persons to do a guest post on their blogs.
3. Some people think that they can do all on their own and they don’t need anyone’s help but in real world, you need partners or professionals to work with. You can build your reputation through sharing ideas over different networks, when you share ideas with larger group of people online, the chances are they might suggest you a better way to do something. Start blogging, don’t just talk about your business but talk about matters people want to hear from you and in most of the cases you will see you will get comments or suggestions from people which will help you in your own business.

For young entrepreneurs, I just advice to brush off that mind block that, they cannot build credibility at young age. With your hard work and determination you can surely excel ahead of the race by providing good services to your customers and paying attention to customer feedback. There are some occasions where only experienced old guys’ wins the match of credibility may be because of the experience they have in the field but it’s not always the issue, even you can win by winning the confidence of your audience. There are some fields where only young entrepreneurs comes in to picture because of their different style of working, use of new technology, superior knowledge, etc. as times pass, the new generation brings in something new and better to give better comfort.

There are lots of ways through which you can build your credibility, it doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, your goal is to achieve and you can do that by providing quality work to your clients, you can associate yourself with great industrial leaders in your field. You can put across the latest methods and technology you use in manufacturing or designing in your company and this is the major point for differentiating the generation gap. Be a leader in your field and take confident decisions to be successful, it helps in building the credibility in market in industries. When a person is at a leadership position he is regarded as the one who is credible and the one who can take up tasks.

There are lots of other things which needs to be taken care of depending on your business type, it is just not one day which counts, it can take days, months and even years to achieve your targets and build a market reputation. It takes a good amount of effort and determination to win customer’s heart and be credible in the market. When you are selling, give quality products to your customers even if it means selling them at a cost price, win their respect and give them experience of a lifetime when they are dealing with you. The last and the best advice I want to share with you is not to get bogged by someone who look down on you doubting your ability only because you are young, I can only say you can take this as a challenge and excel ahead. Have enthusiasm in the work you do, and show this enthusiasm while dealing with your clients and give an excellent piece of work to remember for lifetime.

People are often stuck in a similar types of situations where they really don’t know where to stop, what to ask for, and when to say? Given below are some of the points that might help you overcome your stigma, perhaps learning from your weaknesses will help you out to stand out from the crowd, don’t get desperate when you are looking for a job, or asking for any client’s information should be the norm.

• Choose the best time – as you understand the importance of time you will know how to get things by speaking at the perfect time. You have to have in your mind the things you want to get done to sell your products. There was this one very interesting incident which happened recently at one of the dinner parties I had been, there was one lady guest here who was designing beaded necklace and before any one knew it she was out displaying her designs and went on her sales pitch to sell her neck pieces. She obviously had some good collections personally designed by her but this was not the right time when everybody had come to meet each other, she dint sell anything that night then. In similar cases, if you feel that you strongly need to sell then most you could do is to ask for their business card and contact them later.
• Be proactive always when you are dealing with your clients that will help you in longer run. Don’t just dig into your client to set up a new client network instead you can suggest your friend about the requirements in office if you come across one. Or you can drop a congratulatory note for your client’s wife who has just delivered. If you hit upon an interesting articles you can forward it to your friends and let them know about the new network. Try to build up the goodwill with them and later ask for favors you want to get done.
• Don’t settle or compromise for less, I know you have longing so long for work but that doesn’t mean you have to do everything and anything, resist the urge to say your would be employee that you can do anything for them. For supporting yourself for a while the least you could do is to start freelancing that will help you financially till the time you get some good job. If you are a true professional you will get the job you have been looking for, many people out of desperation start doing jobs they actually don’t want to do when they are having much more qualifications. You don’t need to beg for the job that you want, talk to your employee what specifically you are looking for, join social networks where you will meet people and they might help you join the company needing you.
• When you are talking to the company officials don’t get bogged down by too much requests like “can I have a little time of yours” or “I hope it isn’t too much I am asking for”, etc. no one is bound by any obligations to help you, its up to the people whether they really want to help you in what you want to achieve. Don’t make your clients or friends feel awkward to tell you NO for the request, it can be possible that they are really busy or cant take out time for you.
• Don’t forget to show gratitude towards what someone has done for you, don’t forget to thank them. Your clients will appreciate you for giving them a creative thank you there are many ways through which you can thank your clients. You can send them a cake during their birthdays, or sent out a holiday tour voucher, or shopping vouchers, you can also show them gratitude by returning their favors this way you can maintain good steady relationships with your clients and also the business partners.

You can add up your comments or suggestions or any tips you had like readers to read. Your comments are invited and do write what you feel about the things I have written.

Well what answer would Jim would have given to this interesting question, well as the said fact, he said no, not yet, to this the Investor was quite astonished and so he urged Jim to go out and sell because he would obviously expect returns on his investment. So Jim went all out donning his business unit to a bar and prepared for conversation with employee there but as the fate would have it, the employee dint understand the English language and seeing this confusion there the boss came over so Jim started having a word with him and went gaga over his sales and offered a beer sample to the boss, he liked it and ordered some cases and that was when the Boston Beer started and brewer of Samuel Adams went on its success path.

To a few of us, when we start with our own business unit we might not have a wealthy relative advising us  to go for sales and recoup with the investment, the fact is we might not have anyone nagging us to go and make sales. As sometimes it so happens you can feel the pain of someone but you cannot do anything about it as you don’t have any deadlines set nor you have anyone nagging over you. There are lots of things you need to keep in mind while selling, your one small mistake can create lots of other problems in marketing your main target is your customers and the motive is selling by hook or by crook. Different people will suggest you different things relating to marketing you have to check with your inner potential whether you can really do it or no, varied questions arise like what you are heading to, or going to do, or what suggestions you have in your mind for others the final question I ask you is who is ideal client, do you have any set conceptions about your client?

If you give a straight forward answer to this question I can understand you might have and be sure about your clients, your IDEAL clients, but unless you are truly sure of this question don’t proceed ahead with your official engagements. If you are looking to find an answer to this question you can refer the ideal Client Profile which discusses and have listings about varied articles relating to client’s profile. Think over your company products and the ways in which you can persuade your clients into buying them, for selling your products its not necessary to have that perfect looking website, when you have enough specific content for selling you need not worry about anything. You have to get prepared to give a perfect shoot out so that your clients agree to you at first go.

Be creative is very important from a company’s point of view as yours is just not the only product being sold in the market, there are your competitors who might be selling the similar products at lesser prices and portraying them to be the best. When you use simple logic into selling your products you will get straight to the winning spree, find out what differentiates your product from theirs, you can write emails, start with creative nodes that will inspire your clients into reading your mails further and get interested in your products. Markets everywhere are getting globalize, and business opportunities are flying everywhere for people belonging to different age groups, different genres and professional qualifications. Now what we were discussing earlier about Jim Koch, if you too have to sell beer out in the market after a little bit of efforts you will again need a beer, I will get to that point later.

When you are out in the market for selling, you would not always get a good deal you may have to hear a “No”, which probably may dampen your spirits, but when you are in a global list of sellers such things are going to come your way. Like I earlier said, you can feel the pain but no one can do anything about you, and sometimes you yourself cannot do any thing about it. There have been lots of experiences in my life which I would term as natural ones, I have many times got a “No” for a sale and in between I sometimes got some “Yes” too. Today businesses have got much more exposure than it got a decade back and markets has shown positive signs towards its growth.

You can well imagine how it feels when thousands of people turn you down; one stage comes in life where you are totally careless about the outcome and you are fearless like never before because already you have gone through the bad phases and now you are bold enough to face anything in life and you might have few occasions in life which you would have thought would never happen in your life like meeting CEOs of some multinationals and there can be a possibility to strike a great good deal. Now this is from a long term point of view, for now you will have to start talking to people on various modes like phones, emails, conferences, personal selling, etc.

Now such efforts are not working out, then you can start putting your ads in google or some famous resource where you will get noticed. You can start putting your profiles on various networking sites which will let your business get noticed, go out and meet out people and get your products selling in market through clients, business colleagues or prospects. Be a speaker always and see how frequently you start making sales, so start taking actions today and build a huge business you always desired. Yeah, and sometimes don’t forget to take yourself out for a beer party and do reward yourself for your achievements, don’t procrastinate, do it now this is the only time to work, start it today.

Giving out before you get is a long lost termed talked by experts, organizers, event managers, public speakers in varied promotional events, when we are talking about products, their marketing strategies, marketing plans there are so many things you have to take care of before splurging out all your money on marketing. You must have heard these terms very often like adding value for your audience and also building the trusts amongst your prospective buyers or customers.

You must have noticed this many a times that lots of marketing people, the leaders of marketing as we call them have spoken about this topics, its all so monotonous, so many times we keep hearing the same things again and again and the wonder in this is every time we hear it we find it new because many a times people just don’t get it right the first time, the main underlying principle to succeed in online marketing, or networking or selling is the art which is to give before you try getting it meaning that before you head out to get something from someone try giving it with pure heart without any expectations.

If you understood just what I said you will see, that it really makes a sense to do this, offer and see for yourself the different it will make to your brand value, obviously no one would like to be scammed out by their money so everybody is cautious while buying things online. People would not like to waste their hard earned money on just any product they need to have taste of it before they start buying your product so obviously they will do some online research about the product, the company, its reputation in the market, etc.

Customers would not like to be lied from sellers, so they become a bit hesitant in understanding or believing you of what you are claiming of the product, no one would like to have their feelings exploited so the customers become a bit wary of accepting things and trusting you, it is natural for them to behave that way because they might have been fooled in the past and are being cautious this time so that they are not fooled this time around.

We know that life is not easy as it seems to be, it’s a defense mechanism which is meant for self preservation with the life which is so brutal and short. People are just fed up with sledge hammer pitches and hard selling everywhere, they are just fed up of their routine glitches on a day to day basis, as they face the hard shelled life outside they only go on to become more stronger and the plaster of bad experiences cover them up. There is one way out which people can lower their defenses and commit themselves to you by keeping your best impressions in front of them. Just stop thinking of what they will be thinking of you, you are sure that you are not spamming and so you go ahead in marketing your product that is going to fulfill their needs. You are just here to achieve your goals and that you are not going to take people into any sorts of spasm, make a good image for yourself, your company and the product if need be reframe or replan your marketing strategies.

The marketing concepts are very simple to apply practically when you are not spamming you are obviously doing your best to give the best services to your clients. Its about adding up the value and building the trust of your clients, letting go of these old concepts go in for a single latest concept relating to marketing that says “Give before you get”.

Give your client a free advise and free content which they can use for their future referrals, if possible try to give them freebies which will make them more interested in your product. You can even point some of the things or tools which they should know, you can also advice some concepts regarding the business and also answer their queries, make use of the marketing tips they can use in their business or lives, try to give your clients surprises with new presentations and new products. Interact to the maximum extent you can so that you will know their choices and make promises that you will fulfill, do something that will make a history and make your name famous as a giver of things.

People should know you as giver; the person should speak gaga of you showering you with compliments like the “that person gave me an awesome gift”, “he is truly a gem person”, “he values his clients”, etc. you should make such a first time impression that a person should trust you of your words and believe you blindly next time while buying any types of products from you but make sure you don’t fool them of their hard earned money. Promise the things which you can fulfill for them. Always give people a good experience so that they keep coming back to you.

The above mentioned things are some of the thoughts that people have to be thinking of you when you are doing business with them. This is all inner heartfelt wishes they should be having for you, mention the maximum details about yourself and your business that will give them the detailed knowledge of your company and the products that you are selling. This is the best way you can be rest assured that your prospective buyers will buy from only you and not your competitors.

Make sure you have a good layout of the site and people don’t run away after looking the design and color of your site, your site should be very soothing to the eyes and pleasantly spoken about different types of products in the site. Keep minimum links of your site on the web, don’t think that putting larger number of links will make you more popular. Try to manage what people might think of you or may feel about you this will let you know what they want exactly.
