    Management Apathy Kills Corporate Potential
    I recently received a most interesting phone call. When I answered the phone, I immediately recognized the name of the company as one of the most visible distributors in the construction supply industry, headquartered in a city about two hours from my office. The owner described how this seemingly invincible 75-year-old firm had very little to show for all those years except their good name. In fact,

    Leading Change - Don't Forecast Heroism
    Leading change means making tough calls. There’s none tougher than making the calls regarding the scope, timing and resources of the project. One of the biggest mistakes leaders make is getting happy and caught up in the moment trying to impress the boss and making commitments you’re not able to keep.The biggest problem I see is when otherwise good leaders and managers reach out and forecast wha
    Emails have gotten a lot of attention over the past several years and have been credited as being an effective, low cost way of reaching new customers. Unfortunately, the growth of spam emails has effectively crowded out legitimate sales pitches. That is why a mass mailing campaign through the post office is still an effective and fairly inexpensive way to help you generate mortgage leads. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you put together your direct mail campaign:

    1. Mail on a regular schedule
    The key to mailing for mortgage leads is consistency – mail on a regular schedule… weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Check with the post office to see how to qualify for bulk mail rates.

    2. Keep the letter personal
    Personalized letters achieve better results than a standard “form” letter. No, you can’t come up with hundreds of different letters for hundreds of separate clients, but you can write in such a way that leaves out the overt business style while emphasizing a personal touch. Use a trusted mail-merge program to include the person’s name, address and payment examples in the letter.

    3. Fewer steps = higher conversion
    You can set up an answering service to take the incoming calls and forward them to you via email or fax. But you will get a much higher conversion rate if you can talk to the callers immediately. If you must call them back you’ll lose clients who typically want to talk to a live person right away.

    Of course, an important part of any successful mailing campaign is the way you craft your letter. Here are a few things to keep in mind after the salutation:

    1. Keep paragraphs brief and to the point. Important points made within specific sentences should receive bold lettering. Use red bold letters for the most important information, particularly if you use paragraph headers.
    2. Bullets are a great way to set apart important information.
    3. Avoid using caps. Like with emails, it will appear that you are shouting at your prospects.
    4. Times New Roman or a similar 10 or 12 point font is the easiest on the eyes. Keep your page’s background clear and uncluttered. A watermark is fine, but any other marks that bleeds through your sales pitch can take away from your message.

    The Springtime of Your Career
    Rick Jarow, author of Creating the Work You Love, introduced many of us to the notion of career seasons. When we're struggling with a career, we're most likely to think of winter. At some point a career change (or other transition) feels like being buried under a coat of ice, hibernating through long, dark days. Hopefully we learn to see the beauty of winter -- sun on the snow, clear air, the bare outl

    The Power of a Newsletter
    Newsletters will help you keep in touch with your alumni.All of us would like to have repeat customers but by their very nature some of our businesses and services do not lend themselves to repeat customer. For example, one of my clients sells health insurance for only one company. Once you buy, you are not likely to buy from them again. In order for that person to be a repeat customer, you ba
