Marketing Events: 7 Keys to Timing
Determining the "best" time to do a particular marketing event or run a promotion is a decision fraught with indecision, incomplete information, and a fair amount of hoping that the winds of fate don't conspire against you.One easy way to tip the scales in your favor is to "calendarize" your marketing events against known holidays, events, celebrations, etc.By taking the time to evaluate major events and activities, you can plan marketing activities to exploit these targets of opportunity. You can also prevent your marketing from conflicting with oth

Are Your Sales Meetings Boring?
Many sales meetings are boring and a waste of salespeople’s time, say the majority of salespeople I interview. A review of what’s going on in the market is good to know, but to be effective, sales meetings need to be a lot more than that venues for quick market updates.Inviting a vendor’s sales representation to present a product training program never hurts, but if product knowledge were the criteria for success in sales, about 90% of the fledgling salespeople in North America who are about to lose their jobs would be top performers. While product knowl

Despite a lot of talk about the desire to simplify and focus, many professionals fall far short of their longing. As responsible people doing our best to satisfy competing demands, we tolerate, and maybe even thrive a bit on figuring out how to squeeze in more and more. How do some people go from more to less with better results?

Juggling personal interests, work commitments, family obligations, social schedules and community activities, while trying to please everyone along the path, leaves little time for big picture thinking. Without a compelling reason (often health related or a work crisis) we don't stop the motion to think about whether all of the activity makes sense. Once in a while we take vacation, and even these escapes seem to be getting shorter and shorter (an Expedia poll shows that, on average, most Americans get two weeks off, but 21 percent of them fail to use more than six of their vacation days. Most took one week and scattered the rest of their days throughout the year). By the time our mind starts to clear, it is time to return to the daily routine.

Clothes May Make The Man, But Debt Makes The Salesman!
Thank your lucky stars that you live in an era in which it is taken for granted that you’ll have a lot of jobs in your career.I say this because you’ll get a chance to be influenced by a number of managers and business owners, and each one has lessons to give. One of my early bosses was a graduate of the University of Chicago, a philosophy major, no less, and his insights, especially into human behavior, were a treat.One day, we were chatting and he said, “Gary, do you know how to make an average salesman good, and a good one, great?”Of course

Underlying Keys to Motivation
Motivation starts with vision. In other words, people need to believe that they will succeed in what you are motivating them to do. No one likes to lose. For that matter, no one wants to lose. No one even wants to be associated with losers. So overcome this hurdle and instill in your listener or audience a vision of winning. Thinking we can win and seeing that victory in our mind's eye stirs our internal motivation. When we help others think of past victories or we instill the vision of victory in them, we can motivate them to tak

We may feel like a bit of a superhero when we count the number of tasks we regularly check off the daily ‘to do' list, but it is likely that we never stop to think about whether we are actually moving forward. Activity in and of itself, without a clearly focused plan can drain energy and distract us from what's really important. The real challenge is not to get it all done, but to figure out how to cut through the clutter and focus.

So where to begin? While it may seem overly simplistic a good starting point is to think seriously about the following question: If you could spend more time each week doing what makes you come alive, what would you be doing? Let's look at an example: One of my clients runs a large transportation company with about 300 employees. The activity that she loves most in her business is working with prospects and clients on innovative strategies to save these companies money. When I asked her what percentage of her is
