Have you tried “pitching” Salestarget.co.uk?

Have you ever used salestarget.co.uk to find a new sales job? I signed up for some email alerts some time ago, and had not got around to unsubscribing. I’m glad I hadn’t as I recently had a very fun email from them.

Have you seen the email describing their “SELL THAT!” competition? It’s a great idea.

The competition works like this. They have listed a few items that, to put it mildly, don’t belong in the “these products sell themselves” category.

So, how would you sell:

  • An acre on the moon
  • A yellow ‘87 Ford Capri
  • Your colleague
  • An unwanted Christmas gift
  • A timeshare in your hometown

Take a look at the website, and the video entries. Did I mention the prize is £2,000? Might be worth a pitch yourself!

And while you are thinking about your pitch, why not make a list of the questions you might ask a potential buyer of that product. Have fun with your pitch.

And remember, it’s the questions you ask before you pitch that will allow you to close the sale.
