Suggest You - When Good Looks Aren't Enough
It is my opinion that men and women start to become great when they begin to listen to their inner voice, their intuition.When you begin to use it regularly and systematically, there is virtually nothing that you can not accomplish.You may experience your intuition as a gut feeling, as an inner sense of what is right and wrong for you.Sometimes your intuition manifests itself as a hunch or an inspiration.Often, it comes as a flash of insight. Your intuition leads you to new ideas, concepts, and breakthrou

Although I am a proponent of CRM software and database management, I have never, nor will I run across a software solution that provides Complete CRM.

For many professionals, finding yourself at the bottom of the “revenue learning curve” is a frustrating experience. To make matters worse, your target buyers are on a steep learning curve about what you can do for them. The key is to enlighten both yourself and your buyers. Knowing how to market and sell, then skillfully applying this knowledge to your buyer is what will get you there.
There are four stages to climb on your journey - picture a staircase or ladder, with one stage on each level:
Clueless. You don't know what you don't know. This often manifests as frustration with your buyer – why don’t they get it?! Can’t they see you’re the best? For your buyers, it could be that they don't know you exist or that they see little difference between you and your competitors. Ignorance can be bliss, but it won't get you more business.
Anxious. You've become aware that there’s a lot you don’t know. Reading this article could move you to this stage. Witnessing a colleague or competitor win a contract that you missed out on could do it. For your buyer, this could happen if you do a free needs assessment, or send a short case study illustrating client successes they've not been able to achieve on their own. Bottom line: you're more motivated to close the gap between your current state (in pain) and your desired state (pain-free and successful).
Confident. Armed with new knowledge, you feel more confident. With some effort, coaching,
courage to try new things, and small successes, you get better results. It takes effort to do the right things, but you're on your way. For your buyer, this stage means they see "What's In It For Them" to do business with you, are confident you can solve their problem better than anyone else, trust that you'll not let them down, and see a clear path of action to get their needs met.
Competent. Like tying your shoes, this is when it feels natural and easy. You're probably here in your chosen profession. With the right approach and accumulated successes under your belt, you'll get here with marketing and sales. It’s a blissful place to be and will get you more business than you ever thought possible!

Last week I attended the annual conference of the North American Simulation and Gaming Association. I have served on the NASAGA Board for the past six years. During that time I have served as the Chair twice and our company also has pro¬duced the annual conference.Never have I learned as much about myself at one of these conferences as I did last week. One of the things that became so clear to me last week—by the people, surroundings, and events of the conference—was the power of passion at work.I observed the passion with which many of

You might think that something as major as a building fire could put a serious dent in the productivity of any office, to put it mildly. Destruction of property equipment, furniture and files are almost certain. How much in terms of assets would be lost and for how long? What about the company’s mission critical data? Could it ever be replaced? Computers (especially the magnetic disks contained within a modern hard disk drive) are very sensitive to heat and critical data is likely to be irretrievable from a machine that has been melted by the high t

The American economy is a sophisticated market. While it is true that the Government, with its war on terrorism, is blowing billions every month, it is also true that superior business strategies (such as outsourcing, interest rate manipulations) have directly or indirectly aided the economy and contributed to the spending power of an average American.America today (2007) is a highly mobile, fast-paced consumer-centric society. Billions of dollars exchange hands across the table and through the Internet and businesses exist and thrive in a fier

In our society we have a real problem with honesty amongst people. So many people will lie to save a dollar or two. They will steal from you without even thinking twice at all about it? Even friends who tell you that you can trust them turn out to be thieves or pathological liars. This fact causes issues in the business world and it is most prevalent in Corporate Marketing Departments as they like to sling a little bull and misdirection. But we should not be surprised, as this happens throughout society.We have clergy molesting children and fol

Next time you’re tempted to rest on your laurels (and not get out of your comfort zone), reconsider. Marketing may not be as difficult as your chosen profession, but it's still a stretch for many. Your willingness to try new things that most others won't puts you ahead of the other fish in the sea!
