January, 2012

Greetings!


Sales Kitchen's 2012 is off to a smokin' start helping business owners double and triple their sales.

How YOU doin'?

As we head into 2012 with hope and enthusiasm, we must remember it all starts with planning. Sales planning is critical to the success of your business. Unfortunately, some folks spend more time planning their vacations (or resolutions) than they do planning their business.

Check out 12 Reasons Why You Should Have A Sales Plan, including:
1. You keep saying next month you'll write down goals; it's already the end of January. And, 2. Your sales plan is written on the back of a Panera receipt; and it is misplaced.

Stop making those forgotten resolutions and develop a challenging plan with SMART goals and well thought out action steps.

Give us a call at 630.548.9723 to schedule a 30 minute meet-up where we can demonstrate how Sales Kitchen will Heat Up Your Sales.   

 

Pray for the safe return of our troops, God Bless America and Go Pats! 

 

Respectfully,

 

Mike Cooper

4.5 Ways To Sell More  

 

Remember, there are only two ways to Heat Up Your Sales: 1) obtain new customers, and 2) get your current customers to buy more stuff.

1. "Call Me In January" 
Remember all those prospects and future clients that said to call back after the holidays? Guess what? It's the last day of January. Have you called yet?
Pick up the phone dude: "I'm following up after the holidays as you requested to schedule a meeting to discuss next steps. What works better, Friday or Monday?"


2. Measure your results.

3. Stay Focused on your Goals.

4. Resolve to be on time. Click Here to read the entire Sales Tip  

4.5 Compare actual results to your planned results. Just met with a future client that doesn't have a plan. Been in business 22 months and can't understand why business is flat. "I just can't seem to get to the next level..." She thinks she knows what February sales will be; but she doesn't even have a guess where March will end. "I can't afford a consultant."
What's it gonna' cost if you don't get some help?
