Casual Articles - Confidence Is Critical to YOUR Success....
At this point you are probably wondering where your own life fits into the picture. You have looked at joining organizations to meet others, found places to network, and even attended special events. There does not seem to be a limit on what you need to do to gain meaningful business relationships. Even hobbies and interests can be used to develop business relationships if you are willing to go that far. I do not believe that you can change what you like to do just so you can gain more business. If you have a passion for something like golf, then you should stick to i
How do you react to a friend who calls you on the phone? Do you take the time from your “busy” day to be courteous? Most of us respond in “kind” on the phone.
Should I ask about the “telemarketer” who called? Do you take time to be courteous to a person you do not know? Do you just hang up? Talk ugly to them?
Something worth remembering about the “telemarketer” is that they are WORKING and trying to make a living to feed
Taking a job is acceptance of conditions and responsibilities of the position for a specified wage. Recently, during a lull in my own business, I took on some part-time work in a retail environment serving pet-owners to create some structure and stability. It's not a high paying position, the work is very physical, and it's a bit of a dirty job at times. Nonetheless, the workplace is friendly, the customers are great, and I get to visit with many animals and animal lovers every day. The enjoyment of the position, customer relations, and the staff makes up for the lower
Be sincere in communicating (talking!) with another person. Give them your undivided attention. Act interested! Respond to their questions with a positive answer.
NETWORKING takes time, but --
For years in my business career it took many nights of long meetings. Lunch/Dinner. Listening to speakers give their best shot. Not going home to see my bride or 3 children. Many nights they were in bed long before Dad got home.
There was Sales & Marketing Executives; Administrative Management Society; Jaycees; Chamber of Commerce and others. Christian Businessmen for breakfast. Rotary was a weekly lunch fellowship with other local executives.
Business success means interaction. It means Participation and Involvement with others in the business community. Building TRUST in the marketplace is an imperative. BRAND yourself as one who is a contributor of time and money to worthy causes. Make your city a better place to live and a place to do business by who you are.
A BIG SMILE
Volumes are quietly spoken when you express greetings or welcome with a smile. Few of us can help but return a smile to another person. Just a quick walk down the street and almost everyone you meet will respond in kind. You smile. They smile back.
If you send out a BIG frown on your face then you’ll think a lot of people are simply not happy today. You sent the wrong message. Even when things are not “wonderful” it still makes sense to reflect your best side to others.
Always remember that everyone has an occasional “bad” day. Most of us don’t have to go very far to find someone with more “troubles” far greater than our own.

Imagine waking up every morning eager to go to work! Unfortunately for the vast majority of workers this seems like the impossible dream. And yet, there are those folks who do achieve it. They are invigorated by work and happily head off to work day after day. What is it about them or their work that makes such a difference?Consider for a minute that you had just won the lottery. What kind of energy would you have when you got up the next morning? How is this different from the way you feel when facing another Monday morning? Wouldn’t it be great to wake every da

Think you have gone as far as you can in your present job? Instead of looking around for a similar position in another company, you may want to strike out on your own as a consultant.With a greater acceptance of telecommuting and companies outsourcing a number of their functions, individuals may want to consider being an independent consultant. But before you jump in, take the following into account:1. Do Your Budget ProjectionsEvery business has to have a proper system of budgetary planning. This is vital if you do not want to lose a potential cont

Let’s say that your business suddenly gets a big order from your best client. However, it is an order that is clearly too big for you. What would you do? If your business has a good banking relationship perhaps you may be able to tap into a line of credit or a bank loan. But what happens if your business is small or new and you have no banking relationship? Do you turn the customer away? Fortunately, you don’t have to. Purchase order (PO) financing may be able to help you secure the sale and deliver the order.What can purchase order funding do

For many of you who are businessman and businesswomen, traveling becomes second nature. As you jump from city to city, it gets to the point where people ask you what you do for a living and you have to refrain from saying, “I’m a Nomad, what about you?” Traveling for business can certainly be a pain in the bags, but with a few simple changes, you may find the transition from home to away to be easier than assumed.There are several things you can do to improve a business trip. From taking a picture of your family and placing it on the hotel room desk to making sur

Something worth remembering about the “telemarketer” is that they are WORKING and trying to make a living to feed their family. Buy clothes for their children. Yes, I know that their call may have interrupted your “dinner”. You were doing something important and I understand the feeling.
PUBLIC folks need training --
One of my pet “peeves” is someone who should know better. How to answer the phone is NOT rocket science. Even the best of “professionals” fail miserably in dealing with their public.
Preachers, Doctors, Executives and many others FAIL to pass the courtesy test for phone etiquette. You know some of them just as I do.
Your VOICE is either “smiling” when you answer the phone or “frowning”. One says, “glad you called, nice to hear from you”. The other says, “what do you want? I’m busy, so hurry up”.
Put a big mirror beside your telephone and see if you are “smiling” for your guests who call you on the phone. Be sure that you are NOT sending out the wrong message.
Would you greet someone at the front door or in your “front” office the same as you do on the phone? In the elevator or down the stairs is another time for courtesy. Should I mention AUTO [car] driving/riding road rage? Another story!
SUCCESS IN ACTION
Act as if success is already in the “bag”. Victory in “battle” comes to those who have a positive “can do” attitude. Your TOP salesperson believes and “knows” he or she will be victorious in the sales arena. You can too!
Search their “vocabulary” and the word “can’t” does not exist. Highly successful sales executives practice positive thinking. Nothing is left to chance. Being “prepared” is simply their standard operating mode.
Goals are seen as already accomplished BEFORE they actually happen. Success is “visualized” in the mind which “propels” focused action. Your mind is powerful and ready to “see” to “picture” to “act” on your goals.
Action Tip: Believe in yourself. A smile
