Why should anybody who is offering something for sale expect the readers of this site to make a purchase?<\/font><\/p>\n

Let’s be quite frank. This site is full of salespeople, all trying to sell their goods or their services. Readers of Jobshuk are basically sellers, not buyers.<\/font><\/p>\n

The more blogs which are posted and which lament the fact that people read, but don’t buy, the more the seller should examine their method of selling.<\/font><\/p>\n

Jobshuk is an excellent website which has presumably created many valuable networks. After all, it is a melting pot of business technocrats of all types. But to expect people to buy from a cleverly constructed blog is like posting spam or sending junk mail.<\/font><\/p>\n

The most effective way to sell your goods and services is by word-of-mouth advertising. When you get an order make sure the job or product is properly delivered, with efficiency and genuine care for the customer.<\/font><\/p>\n

Customers talk. Nothing works more effectively than word-of-mouth advertising. But make sure it’s good, not bad advertising.<\/font><\/p>\n

Don’t expect Jobshuk to do more. Its real value to members is simply to offer a mode of free advertising. Valuable, undoubtedly. However, as a selling agent, questionable.<\/font><\/p>\n

The ultimate selling is due to the skill of the individual, not the media. After all, only the most highly skilled operator could manage to sell a refrigerator to an eskimo.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
