If we had just one tip to provide to you on how to close the deal in 2010, Close The Deal.com would suggest that you do what we are doing; getting back to basics.  In short that means getting back to building real relationships to sell and market your products.  Rather than putting out a hand for what you can get; this means putting out a hand for what you can offer.  If it takes us a little longer to build the base of Close The Deal.com, that is ok.  We are more interested in building real relationships that will bring real value to our existing family of sales and marketing professionals and we look forward to serving our new friends along the way.    

One partnership Close The Deal.com is excited about goes back many years before Close The Deal.com ever existed. I have worked with Richard Shea of Shea Communications and the International Federation of Competitive Eating on some amazing events that generated insane pr coverage from shows like David Letterman, The Today Show, ESPN, CNN and Food Network to name just a few.  What makes our work together successful is the simple fact it is based on a real relationship and partnership of mutual understanding where we have learned to work with each others strengths. 

Moving forward in 2010 will demand the most out of today’s sales and marketing professionals to not just merely survive, but to have real meaningful business success. What we suggest at Close The Deal.com is to truly putt the 20/80 rule to use to not waste your valuable time.  Cut out the fat and work with those who really want to work with you; building real relationships is the # 1 tip on how to close the deal this year.   From Close The Deal.com, we wish you great success in 2010 and Happy New Year!
