What you will learn in this video about how to sell expensive items during quarantine so you can pay off debt:

1. Marketplaces are better than cold client outreach

2. Relate with the customer so they feel that their pain is well understood

3. Use the BANT principle to determine if they are the right client for you and that you are the right provider for them as soon as you can

4. Selling expensive items is all about communicating the value to the customer. Signs they do not understand the value YET are in the budget

5. Just because they tell you a number you don’t like doesn’t mean they can not go two or three times higher after you explain the value your products will bring to them.

Also mentioned in this video are: Amazon strategy, sales strategy by Jordan Belfort from The Wolf of Wall Street movie, AshMarks, and more

In this podcast, you will learn about four ways to build a strong remote workforce.

This podcast is a text version of an article that originally appeared on Inc. It has been turned into audio by The African Boss.

It was written by John Hall, Co-Founder at Calendar.com .

Here comes the article: 4 ways to build a strong remote workforce.

Remote work is growing, and it's not just in the United States that digital work is taking over. Countries like Estonia are planning to introduce a new kind of visa for digital nomads this year, allowing remote workers to visit for up to one year while working for a company headquartered elsewhere.

They're opening their arms to the remote workforce that's expanded 140 percent since 2005. People often confuse working remotely with the ability to work anywhere. However, according to Flexjobs, 95 percent of remote jobs require workers to live in a fixed location.

The other 5 percent support 4.8 million remote workers who consider themselves digital nomads, working and traveling freely across the globe. About 17 million more currently work remotely and aspire to be location-independent. A growing number of companies find themselves building a location-independent workforce from the outset.

"We live our core values and share the same purpose: changing people's lives," says Trafilea CEO Santiago Zabala. "This means working for social change through our brands, but also creating a company culture that supports our handpicked team of global remote talents." Trafilea, an e-commerce group with a network of brands, has grown its remote workforce in recent years, earning recognition as one of the top 25 companies offering work-from-anywhere positions.

Here's what companies like Trafilea can teach us about supporting remote teams:

1. Invite open communication in all directions.

2. Start with an employee you trust.

3. Focus on goals accomplished, not hours clocked.

4. Check in with video often -- and in person occasionally.

John Hall is the co-founder and president of Calendar, a scheduling and time management app. You can book him as a keynote speaker here and you can check out his best-selling book “Top of Mind.” .

Started a business, now what? Entrepreneurs should watch and read this.

Imagine for a moment that your future self could reach back in time to speak to you.

Would they give you hope and tell you to “Never stop trying for a better tomorrow”?

Would they ask you to stop what you are currently doing, and do a totally different thing?

Would they ask you to start your own business?

This is the daily dilemma of an entrepreneur.

Some of the answers to these questions become clearer as you grow as an entrepreneur.

But for people trying to take that leap of faith, questions like “What if I quit my job, what if I start today, What if I can change the world?” linger around for a very long time. Because the only thing better than the memories and the road behind us is the anticipation of the path ahead.

And once you decide to get on the entrepreneurial path, standing out in the marketplace is the toughest thing to do.

And that’s where The African Boss comes in.

The African Boss creates digital tools for businesses, organizations, and individuals to help them stand out online.

Take for example Edward and Florence.

After multiple years of running a physical shop in Arlington Texas, they needed an eCommerce website. They came to The African Boss, and we turned their vision into moksmarketnairobi.com

There are multiple other stories like this one at The African Boss.

But we do not just create websites. We also create mobile apps, promotional marketing content, and use our different marketing channels to give our clients an online competitive advantage through The African Boss magazine, podcast, TV, etc.

Most people only pay attention to the final product of a successful entrepreneur. They say things like “I cannot survive that lifestyle,” “I can never be like them,” “they got lucky.” What most people don’t see is what they have overcome while trying to make their vision a reality. And that is why I invite you to follow our journey and our clients’ journey on social media.

And, remember, clients come to us for the online value we add, the same value your future self will be grateful for.
