Networking for SuccessBy Regina Barr Networking is an art form practiced by many, mastered by few. Like anything, practice makes perfect. Owning my own company, I get to practice a lot. My favorite networking example is from the movie, For Love of Money. There is a classic scene where Michael J. Fox, who plays a hotel concierge, ducks into a helicopter owned by a man named Chuck. The helicopter pilot says to Fox, "How do you know Chuck?" Fox says, "I don't know Chuck. But I know Eddie ...
The First Call May Be The Hardest, But It's The Most Rewarding!By Dr. Gary S. Goodman I admit it: success went to my head. For years, I didn’t really have to hustle that much for business because my best-selling books did it for me. Out of hundreds of thousands of readers, a statistical few would always come through, and purchase seminars, audios, videos, and consulting from me. But the model was by no means perfect. Inevitably, there would be good years and lean. If you rely on indirect marketing, ...
January Sales for BusinessBy Vernon Stent Inevitably - and surely rightly - business men and women take their eye off the ball while they take their holiday break. The business community can at last be human again, spending time with family and friends. The turn of the year marks a universal celebration where we look back at what went before and look forward to the future. Just as inevitable, though, the whole cycle starts again and business cranks back into gear a few days into January. In ...
Leveraging a Sales Person's MotivationBy Ron Foss Sales people who have clear objectives, the required competencies, and a supportive working environment still require a level of desire, willingness and positive thinking to complete tasks or sales activities in order to optimize performance.

Sales Managers need to ...
Looking Inside of Your New BusinessBy Valerian Dinca Starting a home business is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. You're facing a pile of scattered pieces and it may be a little uncertain where to begin. I think that the best way to begin is by taking a look inside yourself: at your talents, abilities, interests, and personal motivations. 1. Make an objective list of your talents and abilities. Ask friends and family what they think you're good at doing. You must be skilled ...
Are You A Negotiating Nightmare?By Kim Duke Years ago I read this quote: The definition of PAIN: "The difference between what you HAVE and what you WANT." Over the many years of being in sales I see 2 kinds of people when it comes to negotiating. 1) The person who doesn't budge an inch. 2) The person who gives away everything to get the deal. I would much rather you believe in your product/service as compared to giving away ...
It All Starts With A LeadBy Tino Buntic All business starts with a sales lead. There are no appointments set, no presentations, no sales closings, no completed sales, and no commissions without getting that first sales lead. So, to get paid you gotta start with a lead! I vaguely remember watching the movie Glengarry Glen Ross just before I started my sales career. In that movie there is a salesman that is not selling very well. He’s on the brink of being fired. It’s Christmas time and he ...

Two Super Secrets of News ReleasesBy Angela Booth Up to 90 per cent of stories in newspapers and on the TV news appear because someone sent out a press release. Can you imagine what that means?

No amount of paid advertising can match free publicity. And yet, very few small businesses ever bother sending out a ...

What Is "Value" To Your Customers?By Dr. Gary S. Goodman Perhaps it’s only fitting to mark the passing of one of my professors, Peter F. Drucker, by meditating on one of his favorite, and I believe, most important questions.
