Problem solving in the rearview mirror.

2010-03-15T04:40:00.000-07:00

Sometimes the solution to your problem is as simple as looking in the rearview mirror. If we look back, a solution that has worked in the past might work again. Maybe, the last time we had this problem, we did something about it and it worked so well that we stopped doing it. We can also borrow from others. Who else has had a similar problem? Today's best ideas, are actually old ideas with a new twist. Look back and find the solution that is right for you.

Doing the same thing again?

2010-03-08T04:44:00.000-08:00

Are you doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Maybe you don't need a major change, maybe you just need to tweak what it is you are doing.

You don't have to re-invent the wheel.

2010-03-01T05:37:00.000-08:00

You don't have to reinvent the wheel each time you do something. Others have blazed that trail for you. They have shared their experiences in books and audio tapes that are available at your local library. You can also lean on others in your business. Maybe that business owner that you respect, who is also far enough away as to not compete. There are never any new ideas, just old ideas with a new spin.

Don't wait.... Act!

2010-02-08T05:30:00.000-08:00

Don't wait... Act! If you are in a slump, waiting will not improve your position any. Don't wait for things to get better, make them better. We can make our own luck with a little action. Just like last weeks MMM, we can amplify that action with a positive attitude. Thanks for watching.

Compounding

2010-02-01T04:12:00.000-08:00

Compounding is the marriage of present and future. We can make our sales, time, and talent compound by using a multiplyer. That multiplyer is our attitude. When we compound with a positive attitude, our desired result is larger. Give it a try.

People Pleasin'

2010-01-25T04:12:00.000-08:00

If you want to treat a customer like a celebrity, do you bring them in throught the front door with a lot of flash and noise or do you bring them in under the radar through the backdoor and let them enjoy themselves?

Make your client or prospect feel special. Allow them to come in through the backdoor. Treat them like stars. If your customer feels like a star, then others will want to feel that way too. You want to create a wow experience for them and make it easy for them to try new products and tell others about you.

Put the big jobs in first.

2010-01-10T18:53:00.000-08:00

Put the big rocks in first. When we are faced with all the tasks that must be done each and every day, it is best to do those big things first. Do the big things and get them out of the way. It is easier to fill in the gaps between the big things, it is harder to try to squeeze the big things into alot of little things. Give it a try.

Are you changing with the times?

2010-01-04T04:27:00.000-08:00

As things change, we need to adapt to that change. It could be style, technology, or any other host of things that change in our environment. We need to embrace that change. We could continue to do things the way we did. (I know you still know people with 80's hair.) With change things get better. Then why are some of us resistant to that change. Do we not what things to get better? I think that we do. The first of the year is a good time to lay the ground work for change in your life. Set your goal and get started today. Have a great day!

Success breeds more success.

I normally would create my own content, but this was so good and hits home on so many levels that I have to share. "Your head is a scary place", is my favorite quote. A positive attitude and actions help us feel better about ourselves. If we feel better about ourselves, we are happy to do more things for more people. This is worth all 5 minutes.

Think it, Feed it, Feel it.

2009-12-14T04:59:00.000-08:00

As we close on the year and are developing our business plan for next year, I want you to consider this. Think it, Feed it, and Feel it. Think about what your goals are for the coming year. Feed those goals with positive actions and thoughts. Feel the burning desire to complete those goals. Then it will all happen.

Keep Going!

Making a List

2009-11-30T06:23:00.000-08:00

Black Friday shoppers do it best when they make a list of where they are going and what they are buying. Bring these principles into your business.

Do it Right the First Time

2009-11-16T05:08:00.000-08:00

If you don't have time to do a job right the first time, when will you find time to do it again. A client told me that it takes the same effort to apply good quality paint as it does cheap paint. Under promise and Over deliever. Next MMM will be Nov. 30th.

The Original Facebook

2009-11-09T06:07:00.000-08:00

Time for the original social networking. Get out of the office and meeting people face to face. Watch and enjoy.

I am sorry, I can't hear you.

2009-11-02T01:25:00.000-08:00

We were given two ears and one mouth for a reason. We should be listening twice as much as we are talking. Get your clients or prospects talking. Ask open ended questions that gets them talking. Try to avoid close ended questions that can be answered with a yes or a no. If you do trip up and drop one of those, follow it up with the phrase, "Tell me more."

Success Factors (Part 4)

2009-10-26T04:00:00.000-07:00

Confidence

When you have the other three factors, they will build confidence. Just like a compass they will each point you in the right direction.

Success Factors (Part 3)

2009-10-19T06:00:00.000-07:00

Commitment

You have not failed until you have failed to try again. Burn your ship like Cortez. Retreat is not an option. Have a great day. Greg

Success Factors (Part 2)

2009-10-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

Competence.

The single most important factor in relationships is trust. In a professional relationship, that trust is bosed on the salesperson's bringing a high level of competence to the table. How do you build that trust. Watch and find out. Thanks Greg

Success Factors (Part 1)

2009-10-05T03:44:00.000-07:00

There are many things that can lead to success in sales and life. The following 4 factors are the core of all success. We will explore all 4 factors to help you create our own success.

1) Conviction

Conviction is the most important factor in selling. Conviction leads to passion that leads to belief. You must believe in yourself and you product or service. Only then will you be at your best.

Client Funnel

2009-09-28T04:15:00.000-07:00

How to stay on track during challenging times. Prospecting is the art of talking to individuals or businesses and asking questions to uncover a need. Not everyone will have the need that your product or service will fit. Remember, we are looking for a Win Win situation.

We need to put in far more prospects into our funnel to feed it. The more quality that goes in to top will produce more quality client to come out the bottom. Enjoy the video. Greg
