5 Easy Steps to Sales Success

Today is the ninth day of the fourth month of the year 2018. Spring is coming however the temperature would not let us believe that. The calendar and what we are experiencing is quite different, but it is on schedule and there is no need to worry. I am working on learning to multi-task every day to get as much done as possible, I'm finding that it is impossible and that I may need to clone myself. I now know how, many people are not successful, it takes stamina, fortitude, and persistence among other things.   Stamina is a noun: the ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort. Fortitude is noun:      1. Courage in pain or adversity. Persistence is a noun: firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. Each of these are things that means that they can be had and although you can not touch, stamina, fortitude or persistence you can exude them.  Exude means to (of a person) display (an

Are you Ready for your Fourth Quarter Assessment?

Good evening friends.  I trust that all is well. This image to the left of the text is what I feel like most days. Owning a business with multiple facets and working on adding to each entity is so challenging.  Often even if you have a partner in business, silent or moral support only, you always seem to be the one who wants the success by any means necessary.  It seems that you are the only one who will stay up late nights and then rise early the next morning to get to it, or maybe that's just my story.  Enough of complaining which is nothing more than making statements about something that you are unwilling to change but have the power to change.  Today's lesson on multi-tasking begins with what else, creating a list.  Easy enough.  This is the middle of week two of August what have you been able to accomplish?  How can you take advantage of the remainder of the month which gives you 20 more days?  The list should start like this: Fourth Quarter Assessment Winte

Do You Know What The Biggest Part of Your Business Success is?

Good morning. Do you want to know one of the biggest reasons that most businesses fail in their first 5 years? If we tell you will you do anything about it? Most business owners and sales people will not do what is necessary to succeed. The main reason is fear followed by the lack of salesmanship . As a business owner you must be willing to sell what it is you do. If your business has a product you must have an unshakeable belief in the product or you will have mediocre sales. If your business provides a service, you must be sold 100% on the benefit to your potential clients to be successful. Why you ask, there will always be a time when you will need to pursue and new clients and customers for your business. This is the time that your enthusiasm must shine and this is the time that most business owners are less than optimistic about the value of their product or service. The problem, people don't like to be sold but they like to buy. As business owners most don't lik

What's in it for ME?

Good afternoon all. We hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day. Ours was fabulous. Time is on your side, you have to learn the discipline to make the most of the time that you have. What's in it for me? This is actually the question that everyone ask. It is always in the back of our mind as we make our daily choices to do a thing or not. If you are making a purchase, you make it based on what's in it for you. Better said, what is the benefit to me if I purchase this item or service. Most people don't realize that this is how they think when they are making their choices. When you decided to apply for the job you currently hold, you evaluated the company,you wanted to know how much they would pay you for your time, you also wanted to know if they had medical & dental benefits,you wanted to know if they had a 401K or any kind of retirement plan.
