A discussion about sales, sales tips and advice, and about those who land the deal

I buy my favorite business books through Amazon.com all the time.  Maybe you do as well.

But did you know that you can also use "Earth's biggest bookstore" to help you in gauging product or service interest, and even unocvering hidden sales leads?

Here's what you do:  Go to Amazon.com. Click on the Top Sellers tab. The items featured there are organized by category and updated hourly. Amazon may be best known for being an online bookseller, but they also sell a wide variety of other products - computers, jewelry, apparel, automotive, personal care, cell phones, and electronics, among many others. This will give you a good idea of what people are buying on the Internet.

If you're selling online, and wondering if your product has what it takes to succeed, there's a helpful tip to assist you in developing your marketing strategy.
