  It’s called “the art of selling” for a reason: hardly everyone can do it, it takes a lot of practice, and there’s only one simple formula for getting it right and closing a sale. However, you can take the first step by writing a compelling sales script for your pitch. A pitch is a short speech that you give to persuade your customer to buy your product by communicating its worth and benefits of it. We’re not talking about giving the impression that you’re a snake oil salesman. We’re simply discussing how you present your product to your customer (metaphorically speaking) and persuade them to purchase it. Defining the Sales Pitch The problem, as of the last decade, is that no one wants to listen to your long, monotonous sales speech, especially if you’re ranting on about your product. No one, unless you’re conversing with someone who is too polite to display disinterest. Your sales pitch should be brief, easy to understand, and effectively express the benefits of your product so t...

  The IT world judges SMEs in non-IT businesses as IT-averse and late movers. We believe that it does not hold true, and there is a silver line. There exist savvy SMEs who derive the best from IT investment. There exist SME leaders who take information security extremely seriously. There exist IT managers who make prudent decisions to make IT contribute positively to business. We want to recognize them, felicitate them, reward them, and share their success stories with the SME fraternity. We believe that this kind of recognition was long overdue. And this fantastic idea is executed by the  United SMEs . Here is the first of its kind awards for Non-IT SME Businesses. We call them  SME IT Excellence Awards for Non-IT SMEs . Their more considerable impact will help create awareness about  Cybersecurity,   Data Protection, IT Standardization, and Digitization . Jury members with the illustrious background will examine the entries, select the winners and give feedb...

  What is Bounce Rate? Bounce rate refers to the percentage of visitors who leave your website after reading only one page (or “bounce” back to the search results or referring website). This can happen if a person spends more than 30 minutes on a page. So, what exactly is a high bounce rate, and why is it a problem? Well, “high bounce rate” is a relative word that depends on the aims of your organization and the type of website you have. Bounce rates that are too low can be problematic. Here are some mistakes that can cause your website bounce rate to increase: 1- Slow Pages Google is putting a greater emphasis on site speed as part of its Core Web Vitals program. A slow-loading page might cause a significant increase in bounce rate. Google uses site speed as part of its ranking algorithm. Google aims to promote material that gives users a good experience, and they understand that a slow site can give them that. Users want information quickly, so Google has put so much effort into ...

  Do you find it difficult to say no? Saying no can help you win, but sometimes it is difficult to say no to someone without sounding arrogant or insulting. United SMEs has six tips to help you say ‘NO.’            1) Say Later instead of saying ‘No.’ You don’t have to go right to any if you’re just starting out. It’s difficult to say no. But what if I say it later? Much be less difficult. Make any request your default response. “I will get back to you soon, give me few minutes.” Pro tip: You shouldn’t rely on your laters indefinitely. Also, refrain from lying. When your laters are depleted, saying later will only make you appear untrustworthy in the long run. 2) Make a practice of saying no. Unfortunately, you may not always be able to say no to someone via text or email when it is convenient for you. These invitations or requests may occur unexpectedly and in person, necessitating a prompt response. It’s...
