I can recall the time that I took up golf lessons with a local pro. During my lessons she taught me how to properly grip the club and swing through the ball. It felt terribly awkward but she told me it is only because I had been holding the club improperly for years. I remember her saying, keep practicing and in time your new sing will feel natural.



For several weeks I stuck with the grip and swing that the pro had showed me. My swing still felt uncomfortable and there were no… Continue

How can sales professionals move prospects to a yes?



The key to success lies in their ability to influence. Think about it, if you’re a natural at influencing people then you are likely to blossom in the field of sales.



Why?



Influence is the process in which one changes another person’s behavior. When presenting a product or service we must first create an offer that will capture the prospect. When we pitch our case in an influential manner, we find ourselves… Continue

No matter what your job title, almost all of us have management as a component in our daily routines. The problem is that many of us are knowledgeable in our jobs, but few know how to transform them.

Individuals must analyze and grasp their own ideas and then create a plan to act on them.

Complacency is not an option. Companies will never make improvements unless its employees make conscientious efforts to polish, innovate and reinvent their jobs.



Organizations have an… Continue

“Dennis Rodman was in the National Basketball Association for several years, playing hard and posting impressive rebounding numbers. But he received little publicity and few, if any, endorsement contracts. Then he created a USP (unique selling proposition) for himself – bizarrely bright, multi-colored hair and outrageous tattoos. With that came notoriety and a fortune in publicity and product endorsements.” Jay Abraham --Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got

Can you identify one of your employees whose poor customer service or output adversely affected the bottom line?



If your organization is heavily based on customer service -- which pretty much covers all businesses -- then you shouldn't gamble with hiring employees. This process should be of utmost concern.



Weeding out the mediocre is not for the: faint hearted. This process takes planning and strategy. If done too quickly, it may send out the wrong message. Such action has… Continue

When the economy softens, third party mediators aggressively prey on organizations just like vultures on road kill.



Most commonly referred to as Vendor Management Services (VMS) and Managed Service Providers (MSP), they promise big savings by negotiating with a company’s vendors for pricing.



Very tempting during slow times, but is it really a value added service?



With the number of VMS’s and MSP’s growing, companies often must work through multiple software… Continue

Almost everyone was told growing up that we can be anything we want to be if we just try hard enough. Unfortunately, this is not true.



For instance, let’s look at Michael Jordan the basketball player:

Dear Walter:

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and… Continue

Think back to the last time you shopped for a car or house.

Did you go into the process intent on selecting the lowest priced?

Of course not.

So why enlist a service provider solely because they were the lowest priced?

Tempting as it is to take a bargain, base your decision on a more enduring factor: performance.

Ask yourself, what is performance worth?

The decision to use a service provider goes way beyond saving money; it is to make money.

Make sure your… Continue

Have you ever noticed the only planes you read about in the paper are the ones that

crash?



This is similar to when your company loses a client. Think back on an occasion when a

long-standing client went with a competitor because of one bad experience. You might

have given them 98-percent customer satisfaction, but that 2 percent made the headlines

and grabbed their attention.



How do we avoid such occurrences?



Employ the right staff, that’s… Continue
