It sounds like it’s bad news across the world for the delivery of mobile phones. Only this week figures released by market researcher IDC showed that just over 200,000 mobile phones were shipped to New Zealand in the first three months of this year and that includes recycled mobile phones. This figure was down by over 40% on the same period as last year.

The New Zealand market continued to be dominated by sales of Nokia phones, with a Sony Ericsson into second place, L. G. in third, with apple and blackberry in joint fourth place.

Following the demise of CDMA technology in New Zealand Nokia expect to retain their large market share of over 47% even despite the strong competition that they face in the smart phone arena.

The expected decline in 2009 is being blamed on the global financial crisis, the recession and also the launch of the new 3G network XT within New Zealand. In addition according to industry analysts even the specific models that are available in the marketplace have an effect.

The incumbent telecommunications provider Telecom is expected to ramp up their advertising campaigns for the new XT network by highlighting the benefits of the more data rich products and high bandwidth services that can be run across the network. This is all in an effort to raise the average revenue per user figure which they currently have.

The expectation is that smart phone sales will continue in their growth, although this growth is not anticipated to make up for the shortfall in the overall market. The launch of the new network and a new carrier called 2 Degrees being launched will also help the sales of some mobile phones.

Every year the number of smart phones in circulation has grown, last year this figure was 18.3% for mobile phones, and this year it expected to rise to over 23%. With the release of the new network consumers may well decide to shun the old-style CDMA but again the world increase the number of high end devices which are in circulation.

Telecoms Company had reported attending an additional 4000 customers last year however this was dwarfed line the 16,000 customers who left the network that year. The shrinkage as it is called has been blamed on the launch of the new 3G will.XT network

“No one ever got fired for buying IBM,” has been repeated, believed and acted upon thousands of times. That is a clear indication of how the emotions rule decision-making. The emotions involved are security, recognition and self-esteem.

Here’s another real world example:

Back in the early 1980’s, mounting components on the surface of printed circuit boards, rather than through the boards, was a “new” design and manufacturing technology called Surface Mounting Technology (SMT). The company I was with at the time was one of the leaders in providing automated SMT assembly equipment.

One of our salespeople told me that a major electronics manufacturer in his territory had just assembled a 6-person task force to implement SMT. The task force was headed by their VP of Manufacturing Engineering. The other five members were from product design engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, quality assurance, and mechanical engineering. I told our salesperson to set up a one-hour appointment for us with just the VP. We went to visit him a few days later.

When we arrived, we were unexpectedly shown into a conference room next to the VP’s office where all of the members of the team were waiting for us. On one wall there was a 5′X 8′ white board which was being used as a decision matrix. It had the names of our leading competitors on the left, with the model numbers of their equipment and their specifications. Our company was listed on the left side at the bottom of the chart – we were the last one in – and there was room for our equipment and specifications to be listed. Across the top of the chart, a physical or performance specification and a “Factor of Importance” rating number headed each column for that spec. They asked us for the specifications of each model of machine we had for SMT.

I said that we understood we were to meet with the VP to discuss their plans and we weren’t prepared to provide all of the machine specifications they required at this meeting. I said that we wanted to meet with each of them separately and learn what their most important concerns were, and that we would follow up with all of our physical and performance specifications within a few days. They agreed to meet with us separately, for about 40 minutes each. During each meeting I spent the first twenty minutes doing a Trust and Respect Inquiry. Fortunately, they all passed and I had developed a deep emotional Relationship of Mutual Trust and Respect with each of them.

During the next twenty minutes, I learned that all of them were most concerned that the equipment that they bought would be reliable, easily programmed, easily fixed or replaced, and would meet their accuracy and throughput requirements. At each of those individual meetings we gave them a copy of our standard specifications and told them we would come back in a few days with the other specs they required, which were not included in our standard spec sheets.

When we came back a few days later, we were shown into the same conference room. When we sat down, we noticed that our machines had the highest ratings on their decision matrix. We also noticed that the Factors of Importance rating numbers for the physical and performance specifications had been changed to favor our machines. Thus, they made a “logical” decision to buy our machines that would enable them to “…buy to make or save money. And, we never had to “…express every (or any) benefit in terms of money”

What really happened was they felt that they could rely on us to supply them with equipment that would do the job they needed done. It didn’t have to be the best; it just had to be dependable and not jeopardize their jobs or their reputations. Again, the emotions involved were security, recognition and self-esteem.

If you are in the business of credit repair services. You may have at one time considered purchasing credit repair leads.

The benefit of purchasing credit repair leads, is that the customer is committed to having their credit repaired by a professional such as yourself.

These customers are not playing games or surfing the net looking for information and merely contemplating the idea of credit repair, they are very serious about it, and they are waiting on a phone call.

Wether or not you are an established credit repair business or a start up, credit repair leads are a good option when considering lead sources.

So where is the best place to get credit repair leads?

The obvious answer would be to find a credit repair lead company, but that isn’t always as easy as it sounds.

Yes, it is easy to find the lead company via the internet, but finding a good one with reasonable pricing is where the challenge lies.

For starters, find a lead company that obtains their leads through web sites they own and operate themselves.

Steer clear of the companies that buy their leads from other companies and recycle them. You never know how many times that selling company has sold the lead.

Try to find a company that not only sells their own leads, but sells them at a reasonable price, exclusively, and in real time if possible.

Make an attempt to contact someone in their customer service department. Ask them as many questions you feel to be appropriate. If you are not satisfied with the answers to your questions, or the quality of the service you receive, than move onto the next company.

The quality of the service you receive is usually an indication of the quality of the lead you receive, so proceed with caution.

Power is intricately connected to persuasion in that it increases your ability to persuade, influence, and stir action in others. Power enhances all aspects of persuasion and influence. Power will magnify your ability to hit the persuasion target. Power opens the window for you to have greater persuasive capabilities and influence over your audience. Consequently, when your audience perceives that you hold great power over them, you will be very persuasive in moving them to action.

Power exists only because your audience allows it. They grant you the ability to persuade them based upon your real or perceived power. Your audience has the discretion to follow, remain indifferent, or rebel against your power. Even if your boss has made threats, or the thief has a gun, you have the choice of choosing your behavior in response to his power play.

You only have power over a person to the extent that you control something they want, need, or desire. This could be safety, information, rewards, freedom, or avoidance of punishment. Power does not have to be exerted to be effective. A bank robber holds power as he stands menacingly with a gun, yet he doesn’t have to actually shoot anyone to exert this power. A police office has power sitting in his car, even if he’s not following you with his siren and lights on. Knowing your boss can fire you, even if he hasn’t made any threats, still gives him/her a position of power over you.

There are five points of power that move an audience to respond. These are called the Five Power Structures. They are: Authority, Coercion, Legitimate, Reward, and Psychological. These structures will be discussed in detail later in the chapter. It is important to remember that the more sources of power you possess, the easier it will be to persuade and influence your audience.

Interestingly, it seems to be a natural human tendency to not only seek power, but also to seek out those who have it. Dr. Floyd Allport, a social psychologist, talks about this instinctive characteristic in his book Social Psychology. He believes that deep inside each person, there is a desire to produce reactions in others. He further asserts that as we age, these desires grow even more strongly into a yearning for control. Let’s face it – we hunger for power. When we have power, we feel more confident and in control. Why is power so seductive? When we possess power and control over our environment, we feel strong, invincible, and often exhilarated.

Indeed, the world runs on the concept of power. There would be no order without it. The legal system has the right and power to interpret laws. The military and police have the power to enforce laws. A manager has the power to fire a dishonest employee. Parents have the power to discipline children.

Authority Power is based on how other people perceive your authority. You have authority over others when they believe you have a greater title, authority, or strength over them. This allows those in power to intimidate or even force others to comply with them because of their status, position, background, or rank. Police officers are excellent examples of this type of power. Whether it is their uniform, title, badge, or car, you feel compelled to comply with cops based on their position and authority. We can’t be blamed for our natural urge to follow authority. We have been taught since childhood to believe and follow proper authority. It started when our parents taught us that disobedience to authority is wrong and has consequences. We are taught to listen to our teachers, our parents, political figures, etc. Authority Power, if used improperly, can make us feel controlled or manipulated. By wielding this type of power, you may get the immediate results you’re looking for, but they’re not going to last, and you’re not going to have people’s respect or friendship when all is said and done.

Coercive Power is seductive and you usually get instant results by employing it. Coercive Power is based on bringing others down instead of lifting them up to a higher level of thinking. Instead of climbing the highest mountain, coercive power players will climb the smallest one and blow up all the others so they are the only one on top. Such power also requires the least amount of planning and time; there is no need to convince someone with words when you get immediate results with force or coercion. As the great mobster Al Capone said, “You can get more with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone!”

Legitimate Power, also know as earned or respect power, is a combination of respect, reputation, and your history. Reputation is the sum total of how you have conducted yourself in your professional and personal affairs. If you have shown respect, integrity, and character in all your dealings, people will know it. Legitimate Power is the type of power an individual has when they are placed in special regard because of their honorable character. As a result of being honorable, other people trust and respect these individuals, willingly following them. This type of power is earned through one’s track record, stability, and use of past power. It precedes a person and remains to influence others, even when their physical presence is gone. It exaggerates strengths and can create an aura that instills respect, even awe.
.
Respect Power is based on having unquestionable honor, integrity, and dependability. When someone possesses this power, their basic character is without deceit or fraud. Rather, their character is based on the truth. Such a personal commitment to integrity is felt by those around them and creates a long-term loyalty and respect. When individuals perceive that their leaders are legitimate, it gives them power. People instinctively trust them and are willing to be led and persuaded by them.

Reward Power refers to the ability to deliver rewards or benefits to influence others. These can be financial, material, or psychological rewards. Reward Power is the fastest way to persuade. This power is the opposite of Coercive Power. With Coercive Power you punish, and with Reward power you offer incentives. Reward Power is based on utility, which is an understanding that in every transaction there is a potential for exchange. Basically, utility power recognizes that there is always something I want and something you want. We can meet each other’s needs by swapping what we have for what the other wants. Prizes are a form of utility power. They are a way to reward people for doing what you want them to do. The reward becomes the incentive for compliant action. Examples of utilities include sales bonuses, paychecks, incentive clauses on contracts, bonus miles on airlines, and bonus points on credit cards.

Psychological Power is the ability people have to disguise what they really want from you when they are attempting to persuade or influence you. Psychological Power is based on the ability to alter an individual’s perception of reality. This power (like most power) can obviously be used dishonestly. However, it is important to understand the various psychological tactics so that you will have a greater ability to detect people who are being dishonest or devious with you. You will be able to tell the difference between the Psychological Power of the salesman and the Legitimate Power of the Master Persuader.

As Abraham Lincoln said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” The question remains, then, what makes power good or bad? Power tends to make us nervous – and with good reason. We have seen great abuses of power – tragic, deadly abuses. We also feel power inhibits our personal freedoms and our ability to control our own lives. But just like persuasion, power is really neutral. It can be used to inspire and uplift. It can be used for great good. The good or bad comes from the person who is exercising that power. If a police officer uses his power to stop a murderer, he is bringing good to the world. However, he could use that same power to help drug dealers. You see, the power is the same, but the intentions of the person behind it are different and ultimately the controlling factor.

Many salespeople are afraid of cold calling and they try to avoid it like the plague. However, a good salesperson knows that if they do not make those cold calls they will have fewer sales interviews and meetings with the proper decision-makers and therefore close less sales.

Cold calling is much more efficient for the customer and your company and your sales commission profits. A simple phone call can determine if the company that you are trying to sell to use interested or not. If they are not interested and it is obvious that there is no sale then the salesperson should send literature in an envelope and use hand written notes, asking the decision maker to please put us in a file if you ever need anything and please do not hesitate to call me.

When using this approach the salesperson need not fear if someone rejects their companies offer or refuses a sales interview. Do not fear cold calling because it is an efficient means in offering your products or services and it saves time for both the salesperson and for the company you’re contacting. There is no sense running around town in stopping in at hundreds of businesses, which are not interested in what you are selling.

However, a salesperson should be able to get a feeling on the phone by the questions asked if the other party is interested in what they are selling even if they say no sometimes a personal visit or a friendly note will keep the door open for future possible sales. Please consider this in 2006 and do not fear cold calling.

“Know your customers”. Every business owner knows how important it is to keep your customers happy and coming back for more.

In “Become the Squeaky Wheel,” Michelle Dunn explains how a credit policy is relevant to their customers. “If they don’t know their customers and don’t make their policy and forms easy, fast and simple to understand, they could lose the customer, taking the sale with them and any word of mouth advertising,” explains Dunn.

So what can business owners do to make their credit policy effective? First, business owners should implement a credit procedure for any new or existing customers. They should learn exactly what customers are looking for when they apply for credit with their company.

“Business owners should place new customer packets or credit applications on their reception desk in a highly visible place, with clipboards and pens.” Says Dunn. “When a potential customer walks in they can fill this out quickly and easily and be on their way to having a new account.”

Catering to a potential new customer is good business anyway, so the easier you make it for them to spend more money with you, the more money and more sales will benefit you and your business.
