So How Was Your First Quarter? Today's Activities Determine Tomorrow's Success
So how WAS your first quarter of 2006? Wait – it’s still the middle of 4th quarter; what am I talking about? One of the things that salespeople and sales managers tend to lose sight of is the factor that time plays in the sales cycle. We think if we work really hard this month that we can pull out a gre

Medical Billing - When The Power Goes Out
In this world of technology, you have to wonder what would happen to the medical billing profession if suddenly all the power in the world went out and the computers stopped working. If you never thought of how catastrophic this would be, this little eye opening look at a hypothetical situation should

There are situations where it is imperative to reach a particular prospect at a particular time. Perhaps you are trying to reach that prospect to introduce yourself, your company, and your products or services. Perhaps you are trying to reach a prospect to continue a conversation or to follow up on a next step in your sales cycle. You have tried everything. You have called repeatedly at different times throughout the day, you have left messages, you have sent emails... All with no response.

I offer here a last resort letter. When all else fails, try the Abducted by Aliens? letter. It goes like this:

Februrary 2, 2005

Ms. Jane Jones
ABC Company
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA

Dear Ms. Jones:

You may not know this, but I have been attempting to reach you, almost on a daily basis, for some time now, with no success. You are never available when I call, and clearly, you have been unable to return my phone calls. I am worried about you.

Have you been abducted by aliens?

If you have, and can somehow use the enclosed, pre-addressed, stamped envelope to notify me, I will notify the Coast Guard and alert the media and do everything in my power to obtain your release.

If, however, the problem is limited to a demanding schedule, I am writing to encourage you to call me when you have a free moment. Hopefully, the information I am enclosing will justify that call.

(Information about your company, product or service goes here.)

Don't you agree that if we can show you (Customer Benefit goes here), your time will have been well spent?

It would be nice to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Wendy Weiss

There is so much involved in making your participation at a trade show successful. Most people think that showing up and promoting a business is all that is needed. This is not entirely true.

How students can successfully start a small business using a principle called progressive business.

Constantly increasing our knowledge is essential if we are to progress further or develop ourselves. Increase in knowledge in a particular subject can lead to better understanding, grasp, judgment, intelligence and ability in that area. It can expand our thinking and heighten our expertise on a topic. So how do we go about gaining knowledge? What are the sources of knowledge?

To manage means to manage. To do means to do. Be careful you don't confuse these.
