How to increase your webstore sales
First off I should probably mention if you own a webstore – which is basically a catalog type website listing heaps of products with a shopping cart – then you’re probably not selling as much as you could be. It seems to me that this is the most difficult way to sell online for the [...]

The big barrier to selling stuff… you?
I’ve never considered myself good at sales. In fact, I used to believe I was absolutely horrible at it. The reason? Because I’m nowhere near your stereotypical salesman type.
