Cost Analysis of Your Selling Tactics
Every part of your sales strategy is fair game for cost analysis. Business owners sometimes overlook cost considerations and instead, choose to invest in sales strategies that aren't capable of delivering the highest possible ROI.
For example, even though it might seem logical to increase the size of your sales force to expand your base of ear and body piercing business customers, the additional labor overhead may be an inefficient decision from a cost analysis perspective.
High Impact Strategies
Successful sales strategies leverage cost efficiencies to deliver higher profit margins. In many cases, these strategies revolve around the more efficient utilization of resources that already exist in your organization.
By coordinating your business' sales and marketing strategy with resources such as your company website, social media presence and PR initiatives, you can dramatically increase the ROI of the tools you employ to convert high value ear and body piercing businesses.
Direct Marketing Strategies

The benefit of direct marketing is that it is a way to manage costs when reaching qualified prospects with targeted messaging. From a sales cycle perspective, direct marketing establishes a platform for relationships with ear and body piercing businesses that can benefit from your products or services.
The tricky part about direct marketing is lead generation. Since finding leads is time-consuming and difficult, we recommend using lead lists supplied by established third-party vendors.
