Matthew Linklater, author of Quick Witted: Saying the Right Thing to Win Big and trainer in the areas of business and personal success, writes about the importance of a company’s preparation for processing sales.

Chicago, IL – July 6, 2011 – Matthew Linklater, certified practitioner and coach of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, expert in Time Line Therapy^TM, hypnotist, speaker and author, recently published a blog on his website (www.thelinklater.com) about one of our marketplace’s biggest online retailers and their recent failure in preparing for processing sales from their promotion. The blog, titled “Are You Missing Sales Opportunities?” encourages business owners to equip their staff with the proper training in order to avoid this kind of sales mishap.

Linklater writes, “Buyers are going goo goo for Lady Gaga! In fact, recently, Amazon.com ran a promotion for the popular pop singer, Lady Gaga. However, the company was not prepared for the wave of consumer response, as customers bombarded the online retailer with interest. The company has actually had to re-release the promotion to accommodate the number of customers whose purchase was backlogged due to the barrage of hits.”

“I see this type of mistake happen all the time, and your company does not have to be a victim of a blooper like this. The critical factor is your staff’s ability to carry the torch of your marketing dollars through the sales process. Whether your next business step is an online purchase transaction, or an appointment confirmation, you must ensure that your company is ready to smoothly handle the business that your marketing dollars are generating,” argues Linklater.
