For this week's Member Monday, we are most humbled to feature PromiseLand San Marcos Church! Associate Pastor Harry Fleming wrote in about their spotlight, and gave us some insight on how PromiseLand San Marcos got started as well as their membership with the Kyle Chamber:
"PromiseLand San Marcos Church is proud to be a member of the Kyle Are Chamber of Commerce. We support local businesses and are happy to partner with the KACC to ensure that the beautiful Kyle area (home to many of our members) continues to be an ideal place to live.
PromiseLand San Marcos was started in 2003 from PromiseLand in Austin, TX. Starting with 30 original members, we met on TX State campus for 2 years. We purchased our property on Lime Kiln Rd. in 2005 and now have grown to over 1000 members. At PromiseLand, we place a priority on authentic praise and worship music, inspiring messages from the Bible and building lasting relationships. We are a Spirit-filled group of believers who long to be closer to God and each other. Visit our website or our Facebook page to see what's coming up, watch past sermons and more. Of course, you can always meet us the old-fashioned way - join us this Sunday at 8:30, 10, or 11am. We're just 15 minutes from downtown Kyle." PromiseLand San Marcos Church

Inside the Mind of Your Buyers
No two customers are the same. To a small-business owner, that truism means paying close attention to what motivates people to buy. Customers approach buying with their own agenda, says George W. Dudley, chairman of the Behavioral Sciences Research Press, a Dallas, Texas-based research and development firm focused on sales productivity. For example, they could be shopping for specific product features, hoping to build a long-term relationship with the seller, or seeking a strong commitment to reliable service.
That means you should tailor your sales technique based on the primary reason your customer wants to buy. "We have our preferred selling style and it's one we have built up with layers over time," says Jeff Tanner, professor of sales and marketing at the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University. "I don't always see entrepreneurs trying to understand the need from the buyer's perspective."
Here are six ways to close a sale by focusing on what motivates your potential customers to buy. Read more.
