Will You Add? - Get More Clients by Writing It Down
I am often asked what is a reasonable fee to charge my clients. And on the opposite side of the coin – what should I expect to pay for a bookkeeper? A bookkeeper who is honest, trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable is worth their weight in gold. You might find a good honest hard working person, but if they don’t have the knowledge and experience that you need then you only have part of the solution you are looking for.For bookkeepers check with your local CPA’s for a reality check of your worth. They often have a good idea of what the market will bea
People spend far too much time fussing over their business cards. One-sided or two, picture or no picture, what format, and the list goes on. The fact is most business cards are thrown away and you need a better strategy to get what you really want for your time – new clients.Here's a simple strategy to increase sales and maximize your networking ROI. JUST SAY NO when someone asks for your business card. Stay with me, I tested this strategy while conducting research for an article, "Business Networking Organizations - Should You Pay to Join?"If
There’s an easier way. Create a planned presentation. This process works well whether you make your presentations face to face or over the telephone. Many people leave the mechanics of getting sales up to chance. “Make a few calls”, “ask for the business” we’re told. But how should we ask? What should we ask? It often feels as though a sales call is a black hole.
Just as we write out our business plan we must take the same effort to create a sales presentation. Doing this is more than just outlining your conversation points beforehand and knowing your product’s benefits. You must also script out the words you will use and how and when you will use them.
Many people balk at the idea of writing out a presentation. They equate it with bad telemarketing calls – and so they can be when not done correctly. Here are some tips to creating an effective presentation that will help you get more clients. First, begin by thinking about what your goal is for this call. What do you ho
Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency toward such motion of two surfaces in contact. It is not a fundamental force, as it is made up of electromagnetic forces between atoms. When contacting surfaces move relative to each other, the friction between the two objects converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, or heat.The mathematical theory behind the Spring Clutch was developed by C.F Wiebusch in 1939. Although he analyzed the action between two cylinders placed end to end, rotating on a common axis and torsionally coupled

Businesspeople routinely hand out business cards to prospective customers, colleagues, and social acquaintances, both as a marketing technique and for an easy way to keep in touch.Possibly because of the popularity of business cards, personal calling cards, which in decades past have gone out of fashion, are also making a comeback. Rather than scribble your name and phone number or email address on a scrap of paper, why not hand new acquaintances your personal calling card?First, you need to decide on a style for your calling card. Designs rang

One of the main roles of a judge in a trial is to defend the (fair) process. The judge has only a minor influence in the outcome (or result) of every trial... Business management is much more output driven. This is because people -- most of the time -- know WHAT they want and this knowledge is a bases to guide the management process. Specification of the output is the main ingredient in project management, but also for operational management.Yet it is not always clear how this output should look like. Take for example a pure innovative activity in whi

I like to find examples of companies who offer what the French Creole refer to lagniappe…a little extra. I contend that the best companies are the ones who offer a little extra in their service…something that sets them apart.I found this recently in Nashville, Tennessee.I was to speak to a breakfast meeting to a group there and needed to find a location near the venue. I went on line and “Googled” hotels near the venue to avoid rush hour driving. I found the Hotel Preston. I was impressed enough with their website to feel comfortable to book
Next, think about the calls you’ve made in the past. Write down what worked for you and what didn’t. Then roughly write out a potential conversation with a prospective client. Try to write it in a conversational style. Forget what your English teachers taught you about writing in complete sentences, write this the way you speak. Don’t use any phrases or words you normally wouldn’t in conversation. You’ll sound more natural and less stilted.
A good presentation should include the following points: opening, exploring, offer, close, objection rebuttal. During your opening, you have a limited time to introduce yourself and catch someone’s attention. You want them to continue listening to you.
