MM&I Header

January 9, 2012 - Is there something you have attempted that now that you have experienced it, you would have approached in a different way?  Because of failing the first time, are you hesitant to attempt again even though you are newly enlightened? Never allow something that didn't go exactly as planned deter you from realizing your dreams and continuing to pursue opportunities that could make your dreams a reality. Part of the glory of achievement is embracing the journey along the way.

 

Take an MM&I Moment to write down how you would now approach it differently based on what you have learned. Then write down what you expect the outcome to be. Then take the first step, then the next, and the next to make it become your reality, learning every step of the way.

Savvy Secret Tip of the Week

When someone calls into your company inquiring about your services, is there a formal way to capture information about the prospect before they are handed off to a salesperson or you? Sometimes an inquiry can be effectively qualified by the receptionist or whoever answers the phone, also giving you or your sales team valuable information to respond impressively. What are key questions anyone can ask that are important to know in order to qualify the opportunity to serve? What information is critical to determine if this is a good prospect? These questions can also help your referral network outside of your customer base. Determine them and then share them with anyone who may connect with a prospect interested in your business. Learn more about initiatives such as this in Secret #12, Systemized Marketing, in 50 Marketing Secrets of Growth Companies in Down Economic Times. Get the book today! To order, CLICK HERE!
