Will You Add? - Don't Let Credit Card Fraud Lead Your Dance
The Truth About Sale Success!
Bill Brooks of The Brooks Group wrote an article several years ago about his organization’s research into sales performance. Bill’s research partner analyzed 178 top sales performers from the United States and another 450 from Germany who, as he stated, “…were at the very peak of their game.” These top sales professional were analyzed in two key areas behavioral style (personality) and core values. Here’s what the Brooks Group researchers learned about sales success:A sales or service industry professional’s personality has little or nothing to do with his or her sales success levels. The Brooks research found that there was a broad spread of personalities and sales styles across the groups of sales professionals assessed and that “personality characteristics pegged to success” was not a factor in the sales success equation. In truth, the successful sales performer’s personalities varied as much as the products or services that they sold! However, in assessing each sales professional, 78 percent of these top performers all shared the same basic value and that this core value was the key to a sales

Why Surveying Matters
What is the single most important thing you can do as a business owner? That is a question that this week I think I have found an answer to. The answer? Keep your ear to the marketplace by listening to your customers.Ford’s MistakeIn the early 1920’s Henry Ford launched his assembly-line produced Model T. The car was relatively inexpensive, yet of good quality for the time. In order to reach production goals, the company decided to offer only one color of the car—black. “You could have any color you wanted, as long as it was black”, the saying went. With this strategy, Ford quickly dominated the market, capturing up to 57% of the car market at its height. It was a brilliant initial strategy, but Ford eventually faltered. He simply forgot to listen to his customers that were asking for additional color options. General Motors saw this trend, and capitalized on it, producing cars in a multitude of color options and quickly taking back much of the Ford market share gains. With all the innovative ideas, industry-changing processes, and brilliant strategies Ford came up with, he forgot the

Red Light, Green Light, 1-2-Zine: Is a Newsletter Right for you?
So you're thinking about starting a newsletter. Some of my clients who want to start a newsletter are looking to improve the sales for their products and services, and others want to keep in touch with clients, prospects and friends while reinforcing their expertise in their specific industry. However, starting a newsletter is not a one time deal or as easy as sending an email. There are a few more steps to consider:Step 1: Design a Newsletter Strategy Like all marketing efforts, every initiative needs a solid strategy. If you don't have a plan, sending out a newsletter will be almost impossible.What are the reasons you are sending out a newsletter? Know who your target audience is.

Dealing With Troubled Salespeople
Has one of your salespeople recently made you angry or frustrated?The answer is probably yes. Friction frequently arises when people depend on one another to get work accomplished. If co-workers don't get something done on time, or somehow drop the ball, you feel “something” – anger, disappointment, frustration – and you may feel that “something” very strongly. Of course, the first step is to talk about what happened and to try and resolve the issue. However, if you are finding that the work of one employee in particular frequently raises your emotional temperature, you might want to consider that he or she may be having troubles outside the job. Those troubles may be marital, financial, alcohol- or drug-related, or perhaps the employee has suffered a loss or is dealing with a sick relative.In the past few weeks I have learned about these situations:Cynthia, Lisa and Steve lost their fathers recently, and all three find they can’t focus on their jobs. Cynthia is often weepy.A long-time salesperson in Robert’s team is having tremendous difficulty working because his spouse is il

Better Web Site ROI: Efficient Online Business with SEO, PPC, Split Testing, and Forums
If you're looking for better web site ROI, chances are, the web is only one part of your business, you have a specific budget for your web site, and you want the site to not only carry its own weight, but why can't it make you some extra dough, too?The corporate situation: budgets need to be closely watched, and tech people can't get carried away with unnecessary frills.My own experience making money online and becoming and SEO expert was more guerilla than corporate. In 1999, I knew enough web design to get by, and I learned about getting good search rankings and free traffic while flying by the seat of my pants. By early 2005, I'd learned how to get tens of thousands of visitors per month, and had made more than $20,000 two months in a row.As it turns out, web design itself doesn't bring in or increase profits... at least not the graphic kind most people think of. Ironically, the flashy flash web sites everyone raves about often prevent you from getting free traffic. Search engines index sites based on text- they can’t see flash. If your tex
