What did you do with that prospects? Most sales gurus of the 1980's and 90's wrote books that told you to move on to the next prospect who is ready to buy now, and not waste your time on those that aren't ready yet.Here's the wrong assumption to make in that situation.

There are no corresponding figures for the coaching profession specifically but anecdotal evidence would suggest that the failure rate is certainly not better than the average, indeed many coaching businesses never get off the ground in the first place.Avoiding some of the common mistakes made by affiliate marketers should quickly and easily improve your chances of making big cash in the affiliate sales arena.Here are five of the top mistakes that I see most:Not researching the affiliate program before your start promoting it - It really is amazing just how many affiliates grab the first affiliate program that comes along, or they signup simply because of a high commission rate or promote it because every other marketer is also promoting it.

Peter Cochrane (ConceptLabs) cheerily writes 'the question isn't why they fail so often, more by what miracle any survive!' He goes on to site the key reasons that businesses fold: failure to identify and quantify an opportunity;failure to identify the customer and market; failure to search out the competition and assess risk; failure to address funding and financials.
