30 Seconds to Explosive Networking & Sales This is probably one of the most impactful things you could do for your business, your networking and your sales. Using this tool to develop a your 30-second "who am I" introduction has had people rushing up to me after networking events and standing in line waiting to talk with me. Characteristics of a Good Leader I'm always amazed at the answers I get when I ask a group of executives to define a good leader. I rarely get the right answer. Read this article to find the answer. Cold Calling Nightmare -- Turn the Nightmare into a Sales Success How to Turn the fear of cold calling into your sales success. Company Policy Does More Damage to Customer Service Than Anything Else Company policy is frequently the biggest barrier between customer satisfaction and your company. It can start with either o Company policy o Employee trying to do the right thing, but in their eyes the right thing is protecting the company from the stupid customer. Customer Service Problems--Help Your Employees Look at a Customer Complaint from the Customer’s View Too many times employees tend to look at a customer complaint, or even a request for help, as an opportunity to do a CYA. When you hear an employee saying, "Stupid customer" that is an opportunity for you, as the business owner, or manager, to ask them to find out 1) What the customer really wanted, and make sure they get it. 2) Look for a way to prevent the problem for the next customer. A CYA statement doesn't deliver the customer what he wants, nor resolve the company problem. Do You Hate (or Maybe Dislike) Selling? The reason most people hate, or dislike, selling is that they already have a bad perception of a salesman. Therefore, they are afraid they will be perceived as taking advantage of their customers. This can frequently cause people to not get out there to sell, or at least slow down salespeople. When you can change that perception to "being the answerman, being the helper" not only will it feel comfortable, but you will see your sales go through the roof.

Define your customers by how much they are worth to you. I see my customers multiplying their sales by sometimes as much as 10 times in as little as a week by defining them this way, and finding which ones are the most valuable.

How many times have you heard "I'll Think It Over and Get Back to You?" If you've heard it more than once you probably are missing something in the sales process. Read the following article on how to prevent this from happening, and how to deal with it when it does happen and watch your sales success go through the roof. Jack Welch -- Winners Get Back Up on the Horse Lead Generation Isn't About Getting the MOST People, It's About Getting the Most Qualified People Too often we think that our marketing, advertising, lead generation is supposed to bring in the MOST PEOPLE it can. Your marketing should qualify the leads and provide only the most qualified people. Your sales department's success ratio will go through the roof, and cost of sales will drop. My Ads Don’t Work, So I don’t Do Them Any More Many small businesses try an ad or two. They don't get what they expects so their first response is: "That didn't work. I'll never try that again." That is the first nail in your business coffin. Your main job as a business owner is to deliver a specific number of leads every week, so instead of saying "this doesn't work" it's time to say "I'll find out how to make it work" "I'll find out how to get exactly the required number of prospects to walk through the door this very week and then do it.

Time Management Isn't About Managing Your Time, It's Getting Control of You Time management is more about managing you and your thoughts than about managing time itself. Doing it right can easily increase the results you produce by 50-200%. Actually it is very easy since we assume that 20 times improvement is a possibility when looking at how much time most of us waste. Why Do a Business Plan?
