If you've got sales tips (not just for adult, mainstream as well), post them here. Here are a few of mine just so that I'm not leeching knowledge.

- Send a gift or follow-up communication (depending on the size of the purchase) to your clients to attract referral clients from that customer. It could be something as small as a note of thanks (or e-mail...personalized of course) to something as large as an expensive bottle of champagne. It all depends on what amount of revenue you're making from that client.

- This is an often overlooked tip for face-to-face sales. I can't tell you how often I've been in a situation where someone was "selling me" on an idea/concept/product but didn't look me in the eyes. LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYES IF YOU'RE SELLING THEM. If you don't, it cries "unconfident, shady, etc.."

- For the love of god, if you're shaking a (male) client's hand, do it with some force and not like you belong on Queer Eye.

- Call people by their formal name (Mr. so and so, Mrs. so and so) unless : they specifically ask you to call them by their first name or if you ask them "Can I call you, Joe?" and they agree.

Alright, some of these are common sense but you'd be surprised how many "salespeople" don't do these simple things. Would love to hear some other tips.
