As an entrepreneur / small business owner we wear many hats, and one of the most important is that of the sales-person.  The #1 problem I've seen among entrepreneurs is not ACTING like a sales-person.  Which brings me to the #1 Rule to More Sales:

Ask for Sales More

I know what you're thinking; "this is so ridiculously simple it could work!", and it does.  One of the biggest problem among TRAINED sales-people is not knowing how to ask for the sale.   So here are my 3 easiest recommendations for asking-for (and getting) more sales: 1)  Ask your current customers: When you're talking to a customer who you know is happy with your current work say "If you're happy with our current service (or product) will you help us out and tell your friends and co-workers?  We're looking to ramp up sales and would love your help!" Make sure you show some enthusiasm and ask sincerely (A smile and eye-contact should be a no-brainer).  If the customer has appreciated what you do there's a great chance they'll help. 2)  Ask new people you meet: Don't be shy about passing out your business card with a note on it that says how to purchase.  The person you're talking to might not want your product (or service) but there's a good chance they know somebody who does. 3)  Ask everyone you email (without being annoying): Edit your Signature that goes on the bottom of your work and personal email telling everyone about your product and how to purchase it.  Take some advice fromTwitter her and keep it short (140 character or close to it).  But make sure you link to your website, you can even use a link shortener like bit.ly to make it more aesthetically appealing.
