Answer Upon - Selling, the Arctic Monkeys Way
Technically, it wasn’t Suzi’s fault. She was basically a good dog. I had her since she was a pup, but now, 11 years later, she was behaving as an older dog might. I watched her white-gray-tan form sleeping on the tile floor. When she slept, she was as cute as any other Shih-Tzu could be. But, when a storm approached, she was a terror. It didn’t

In the last few years a lot has been written about Business Process Management, and about technologies supporting it such as BPMS, SOAP and Web Services. Most of these theories, tools and techniques refer to processes of a highly structured nature.Typically, BPM theorists and practitioners have focused on highly structured processes, lik
You can’t argue with the numbers, can you? Their first single went straight in at number 1. Then the album shot to the top, smashing the record for fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history. The Arctic Monkeys have to be the sales success of 2006.
So, where did they come from? Internet space, of course. But, perhaps the Monkeys can teach us a little about selling and marketing products effectively. Here are some of the things they did well. Could you apply any of these pointers to your business?
Being liked
If a customer likes you, he or she is more likely to buy. What causes one person to like another? According to Sold! (by Steve Martin and Gary Colleran, 2003), having things in common with your audience is useful. I think there’s something about personality too. Four strong-accented ‘underdogs’ from Sheffield…it works really, doesn’t it?
Proof of the pudding
The proof of the pudding’s in the tasting. Would your products sell better if your customers could have a try first? Before the Monkeys were signed they gave away their music online. A great way to start word-of-mouth marketing. Because, who’s going to be shy of a good-quality freebie? Referrals are one of the most cost-effective ways of selling, too.
People living in hot and humid climate sweat a lot leaving bad odor which can irritate others. In fact no one is to be blamed particularly if the odor emitting person has made good use of deodorants. Scientifically its been proven that when we sweat microbial bacteria are produced which emit this rather uneasy smell. Odors depend from person to

To say that we as human beings have ethical values implies something quite profound. It literally means that we are, in a manner of speaking "hardwired" with such values. If we were not we would not have the ability to ever gauge when something was "right" or "wrong".You see, before you can make such an assessment you need to have an "in

Remember a time when you shared information with someone important to you, like a friend, family member, or loved one…* About a great deal you got…* An awesome experience you had…* A company, service, or product …...that was above and beyond what you ever expectedRemember that time?Remember how gre
Investing in customers
Existing customers are worth investing in. As well as giving you those referrals, selling to people who have already done business with you is the most cost-effective way of marketing yourself. For their last gig, it’s reported that the Arctics kept tickets prices to ?8, even though the black market was selling them for ?300, and the band themselves made a loss on the night. How could your business invest more in the existing interest?
Helping people buy from you
Turn ‘selling to people’ on it’s head…how can you ‘help people to buy from you’? Giving people a taster is a start. And, being front of mind when people are ready to buy is essential. Once the Monkeys had a following (and people were itching to buy the album), then the big advertising campaign was everywhere. No doubt there were some record label execs rubbing their hands together behind the scenes. But, you get the idea.
Having a good product
Of course, you can’t get away from this. You have to have a good product. And you have to have a p
