A few months ago, arriving at a client’s office to begin a group meeting, I discovered that two women, who had committed to joining us for a series of meetings, had changed their minds. In less than two minutes, I convinced them to join us. Did I use some sort of magic? You bet I did. Would you like to know that magic?Neuro-Linguistic Programing (NLP), a science that studies the language of the mind, breaks down, step-by-step, the strategies humans use to connect with others. Most people believe that we communicate primarily through language and words. Yet, many business people are aware of body language and its importance in interacting with people. Some may be aware of studies that show that language has less influen
So how do you make 2007 different than the previous year? Where should you start? The very first thing you need to do is take a look at what you did in 2006 that brought you any business. Figure out what worked and repeat the process. Did you participate in a vendor fair that brought you sales either immediately or afterwards? When you donated your time or product did you at least get a sponsor ad?

Right about now you are probably thinking, “I know I should be doing follow-ups. I have heard that said a million times before. That’s nothing new!” Maybe so, but do you DO IT?

Write them a quick thank you for attending email – or better yet, if you can get their mailing address send them a card or postcard. With all the junk mail we receive today the timely postal piece makes a substantial impact on your eager audience.

Also, it is used in industrial applications such as the production of polystyrene, polyurethane and polyethylene foam products. Custom die cutting offers freedom to meet exact needs.

Yet another helpful piece of advice I would like to impart is to share your knowledge. This can be done by offering a number of different resources. Begin with a blog, articles, books, and perhaps even ezines. All of these will help you in thee ways. One, it will keep your name in front of your interested consumer; two it will multiply the number of unreciprocated links to your business website as your articles and links are picked up and forwarded. When search engines find these links they increase your ranking. Unreciprocated links are given more weight than reciprocal links. When search engine bots find numerous unreciprocated links they see you as an expert and that gives you even better ranking in the search listings. Speaking of expert, this is the third benefit; you are perceived by not only the bots but by people as an expert!
The reality is YOU determine when you are the “guru”. Every expert I have ever talked to claims this to be true. When they started believing they were an expert and started calling themselves one is when others started believing they were too. This is not a title you earn; it is one you must CLAIM!
