Hello all my fellow card senders…
Technology wouldn’t let me send this the normal way, but here’s my message anyways!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Wow, time definitely vanishes when you are having fun…and I have been missing in action as of late! Why, because I have had to re-vamp my business plan and re-strategize my business direction. I’ve been doing the blogging for well over 5 months and been totally focused and when I looked up I realized I been missing in action in lots of ways!
I love the internet and I love connecting with people, but I have discovered, for me, I need the activity of actually meeting people face to face and sharing the fun that I am having. As much as I love to write and video, it doesn’t seem, for me, to make the same impact as my offline connecting does. I have one mission and that is to make a difference and if I am not fulfilling it in this chosen method I need to take stock of why and re-adjust.
So my post this week is just a simple suggestion that you, too, look at what you have been doing, whether it’s blogging, article writing, offline networking, direct mail, etc and analyze your results. Is your activity just busy work to fill your time every day so you can take something off your to-do list…or are you really working in your business and connecting with people that need your product or service. Are you building relationships for future prosperity for both you and your prospect?
It is truly amazing what has been going on for me in the past couple weeks after I did some analyzing and changed my course of activity. I want so much to draw the traffic and bring the people that I can help to me online. But for me personally I figured out right now I love more being out and about and hugging people and showing my product personally from my own hand. It has energized me and my massive action is building and so are my massive results!
So if you have a business that suggests you talk to your warm market first – maybe you might want to re-visit that wisdom. I have re-crossed paths with some people that have never asked about my business before, but suddenly I am in front of them personally and they are telling me to call them. Not an isolated response…an every day occurrence.
Personally, I believe life is too short to be on a detour all the time!
Sending you a smile and wishing you prosperity in all you do,
I have to tell you this is not for the faint of heart! Please ignore the ‘wind’ hairstyle – I do live in Dorothy land – next time I’ll look in the mirror first! Just another smile to share!
Are you ready? Go to lunch or dinner at one of your favorite restaurants. When you are getting ready to leave – try putting your coat on upside down! You’ll not only laugh at yourself – you’ll catch someone’s eye whose done the same thing and everyone smiles! I know – I’ve done it!
May you receive a smile in return for yours…it truly is contagious.
P.S. Would you like to share a tip? If you comment and share one you’ll go into a drawing for thank you gift.
I struggle with this all the time because I am so easily distracted by all the buzz going on around me. Get this, do this, try this, this is the magic bullet just sign up here! I’m so guilty of allowing myself to step off my path to my ultimate goal! And I don’t even have to wonder why my checks are not where I want them to be – I KNOW why! And I reflect back on my actions and I find I was all over the place with my actions!
So today, I am making a pledge to take my business to a whole new level by simply getting back on being consistent with my daily actions. Now with that said, I went looking for a quote I used to have posted on my wall until we moved and I de-cluttered and lost it! I found the quotes interesting, Tom Hopkins says our daily habits is a reflection of our success as does Anthony Robbins, but then I found other quotes arguing that people that are consistent are dead! Hello???
Wow, lots of opinions out there, but my challenge to you is to please share what works for you? Do you easily stay on track doing the same thing day in and day out? Do you find yourself bored to tears after a month of the same thing? Do you go off to try something different before you finished the previous project?
This is short and sweet because I am personally getting back to the activity that worked for me in the past and that I somehow got off track.
Sending you a smile,
Do you struggle with feeling like a ‘stalker’ or a professional when you know you have to make that call and follow up? One of our leaders uses a fun line that I like to use, too, like on the 6th call. It goes like this: “Hi Joe, This is Gail, again, you know there’s a fine line between being a stalker and just following up – please don’t make me cross that line. I’d love to hear back from you, with a yes or a no. Thanks! My number is.”
Sorta humorous and fun to leave, but the bottom line is if we don’t follow up with anything, we are leaving money on the table. I personally can attest to having dropped the ball on a follow up and lost a potential customer and or team partner. That is soooooooo much more painful than making that follow up call.
Today, my blog is more about one of my friends and and a new e-book she is launching addressing the struggles of follow up and how to make it easier on yourself. I have included her information here so you can take advantage of her pre-launch and get your business in a more prosperous state before 2010 draws to a close!
How to Steadily Turn Prospects Into Customers in just 81 days!
With less than 90 days left to the year, follow-up is critical to your sales goals. Here’s how to make the ground work from earlier this year count for something – all that networking, all those business cards collected, all those presentations you made.
In a continuing online survey with over 350 responses from entrepreneurs, small business owners and salespeople just like you, and maybe EVEN you, I have uncovered four distinct follow-up reluctance patterns:
- “I feel like I am bothering people so I tend to not follow-up,” is the #1 obstacle to follow-up with 44% of respondents identifying this as a reason.
- “Follow-up is a hit and miss process,” is a close #2 with 31% of the votes.
- “I would do it but I am too busy with other things,” tallies at 14%.
- And, only 11% can say, “My follow-up is persistent with a series of planned activities.”
Can you identify with any of these patterns? What price are you paying for whatever your reason is for lack of follow-up?
Lack of follow-up simply means lack of sales. And according to some research, as much as 80% of your sales!
“Makes follow-up easy for introverts and extroverts!As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I’ve been looking for the missing piece to take my business to the next level. Pat Weber’s Secrets for Sales Reluctance provides the systematic approach to help me overcome my fears and get more sales. Pat provided me with a check list to use while networking and another to turn my follow-up into action. Then she took away my excuses for using it. I appreciate her straight talk with no fluff included! I would recommend Pat’s ebook to anyone (even us extroverts) who needs a simple, concise plan to following up after making the effort to network.”
