Time for A Marketing Tune-up
If you have been in business any length of time, I can assure you that habits, not conscious thought, are guiding your marketing actions. Many business people are great optimists, or they probably wouldn’t have gotten into the game to begin with. They keep doing everything they’ve ever done in the hope that one day it will produce results. STOP! It’s time to get the brain back in the game!If you are like most people, each time you come across a new marketing idea you add it to your existing approach. You never think to weed out the approaches which haven’t yielded any fruit yet. You just keep adding more. Time for that to change!Marketing strategies and actions tend to accumulate. They hang around and continue to siphon off time from your day (even when they may not be working as well as you'd like). We get into habits of actions. Seldom do we take time in our busy schedule to really assess how we are spendi

But Everybody Knows About it
I recently stayed at a major hotel in Perth, Australia. On the telephone in my room was a small card indicating the phone and fax numbers of the hotel.The phone number was listed as (09)225-1234.Clients around the world intended to call me during my stay, so I gave them the hotel number.Not a single person was able to reach me by phone. One sent e-mail complaining I had given him a wrong number.I called the hotel operator to check the telephone number and told her about the small card in my room.‘Oh,’ she replied, ‘the local code is not (09) anymore, now it’s (08).’‘When did that change?’ I asked.‘About four years ago,’ she replied, ‘but everyone knows about it.’I quickly contacted my clients overseas, and gave them the new number to reach me (08)225-1234.Again, not a single person was able to reach me by phone! I received another wave of ‘wrong number’ compla

In sales, you can work one of two ways. You can either do the things you should do or you can do the things you want to do. Sometimes these are one in the same, but more often they are at odds with one another. However, this article isn’t about doing the right things, it’s about showing you what things to avoid. If you can figure out how to control each of these 7 things on a daily basis, you’ll be well on you way to selling success.

Eternal Email

Eternal email can occur several different ways. The most common of these is checking your email every five minutes in eager anticipation of something new. Another way to waste your day with email is by relying on it for long messages or conversations that last longer than a few sentences.

To control your email instead of the other way around, set aside two or three scheduled times a day to check it. Also, never have a conversation over email that could ever be misinterpreted because of the rigidity of writing instead of speaking. Embrace your telephone for communication with your clients, prospects, and colleagues. In the age of information overload, a friendly voice on the other end of the phone can greatly separate you from your compe

The Benefits of a Strong Sales Letter
When it comes to business, image is everything. It stands as the pillar of how your prospective customers view you. It can mean the difference when they reach for the phone to contact you or your competitor. One of the best and most effective vehicles to convey your business image is that of a strong sales letter.. Within the vast scope of the written word you can highlight your USP, present the benefits you're offering, and bring the prospect closer to that all important sale.One of the most misunderstood aspects of the sales letter is that your potential customers don't really want what your selling. What's this? Well, it's unlikely that your prospect really desires more things. what they actually want is the benefit behind the things. Thus, if you highlight the item itself you're likely to lose the sale. People just don't think about items as much as they desire benefits, be they psychological or physical. Does

Life - At the Workplace
People of lower positions need to keep a grateful heart at all times, while people of higher positions must always give their care and loving hearts to those in lower positions. Only then the higher and the lower can link together into one breath and there would be no friction among them. Only then the world can become perfect. Only then the distance between people can be lessened gradually, and people can merge or unite themselves into a joyous harmony.In life, we each play many different roles at home. At the workplace, never allow our personal emotions to carelessly come in which is inappropriate for all the reasons you may imagine. No matter how many big corporations called themselves as "big families" it is truly difficult to tolerate workers who bring their personal frustrations or opinions into the workplace. Learn to leave your troubles at the door and don't bring them in.People who bring emotional

Mobile Car Wash in Dubai?
Dubai in the United Arab Emerits is ripe for a mobile car wash business, as the current car wash businesses there are quite lacking. With the economic development and shopping malls a well-marketed mobile car wash company could run 30-50 units of various size and dominate the market. Few are aware of the potential in that Middle Eastern region. For the international Entrepreneur they may find greener pastures in Bombay or Shanghai, yet Dubai should also be on their international target market list?Some do realize the potential there, but others have asked; “Have you been to Beijing lately?” It is strange that all these new entrepreneurs there have not seen the potential, but a few have. As a matter of fact our company had several contacts this week, yet we have no advertising what so ever in that market for UAE partners or licenses with any of our companies. We run the Car Wash Guys Company. www.carwashguys.com . I

Personal Phone Calls

How many people do you know at your office that take at least a dozen personal phone calls a day? I bet at least one or two people came to your mind almost immediately. Do you know why? Because taking personal phone calls is one of the most distracting and unprofessional things you can do in a corporate environment and is immensely irritating to co-workers. If you’re concerned with productivity, this should be one of your most irritating pet peeves.

If you don’t think that taking personal phone calls at work is such a bad thing, then you may be the very person at the office that everyone is complaining about.

In sales, if you’re having problems with personal phone calls, I recommend putting a little note on the receiver of your phone that says “Can this Wait Until Later?” Most of the time, when you take a personal call at work, it’s because yo
