You can have a great idea in a booming industry, but if you can't drive sales, your startup will not make it far beyond the launch. In other words, without sales you're sunk. And in a still-challenging economy, the bar is even higher. The most-successful entrepreneurs are always on the hunt for new ways to get more customers to buy -- and encourage their loyal customers to buy more.

If you're looking for sales strategies for your business, join us for a special live Google Hangout today at 2 p.m. ET, where sales expert Grant Cardone takes your questions.
Cardone has provided sales-training programs to large global companies and authored several books on sales strategies, from closing more deals to dominating your market.

Ask your question for Cardone in the comments section below before the chat, and we may choose it to present to him during the event. You can also tweet your questions using the hashtag #EntLive.
