Use It!

The first time that I saw Retail Selling Made Easy with a tattered cover, I was horrified and replaced it. I have since come to see it is a “good thing”.
These books are not “museum pieces”, so when I see one like this I now treasure it.

JAPANESE TRAVEL FACTS:

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

Japanese travelers come to Hawaii, and other U.S. Resort areas in huge numbers, spend 5 times what other travelers spend, and do it in less than half the time. Resort retail salespeople owe it to themselves and their stores to learn how to sell to the Japanese.

The first step is an understanding of some basic facts that attribute greatly to the huge amounts spent by our Japanese visitors.

The next step will be how to align yourself to successfully sell to the Japanese. Some companies exist on Japanese sales, some others can’t seem to crack the market even though they may sell very similar products at fair prices. None of this is coincidental.

1. The Japanese government encourages worldwide travel to its citizens, Hawaii and other U.S. Resorts are seeing increasing numbers of Japanese visitors.

2. Today’s visitors are more affluent than in the past. They are proud of their success and ability to travel the world. They express this pride in what they wear, where they go, and what they buy.

3. Honeymoon season is March through June, even though most were married in Japan before December.

Speak Up!

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

“All speaking is public speaking whether it’s to one person or a thousand.”
-Roger Love

This quote reminds me that I am not placing enough effort towards selling copies of Public Speaking Made Easy. Pam Chambers sells them by the case loads. I should be doing the same. This is a great book and is written for EVERYONE. If you do not have your copy yet, you can order it in the “Books” section of this site.

Ron kept sitting in this chair at the Honolulu Design Center saying, “I love this chair”. Today the INspiration delivery team brought it to Uraku Tower where Ron will now be sitting in it at home.

Mahalo Peter!

Most people would like to live a longer, healthier life, but too many times the motivation to do something about it comes too late.

I have had so many requests lately for audio books that I went into the recording studio and read Retail Selling Made Easy into the microphone. I was amazed at how much I had forgotten.

Watch for the release of this and my other books in audio format very soon.
