I read as much as I can about marketing techniques. A lot by trial and error. I also always had a knack for selling things.
Even when I was in high school and working part time at our local department store in the men's fashion dept, my sales were consistently 3 time higher than any other sales people. I always went out of my way to give my customers personal attention and got to know as many as I could on a first name basis so when they would come in to buy their clothes, they'd ask for me to pick things out for them. I was the only one that would straighten out the department displays so everything was meticulous while other sales people would just sit around pretending to be busy.
Sales is all about impressing potential customers that you know your products, will work hard for them, and will handle any problems that arise promptly.
