Coach's Corner
by Fred Albrecht
The ASI Show is history and the PPAI show is winding down as well. Amazing that the industry's two largest shows are history. We had over 50 reps attend one or the other show, so now I must ask my three favorite questions. What did you learn? Who did you meet? And most important What are you going to do next? I look at attending any event of this magnitude like I do New Year's resolutions, over 95% of the people who made them have already (by January 15th) abandoned them. Will you return to work on Monday, inundated from a week long trade show and simply move forward and continue to do as you have always done? Give yourself a 30 minute break first thing Monday morning. Write down the 5 most important steps you can take to help you dynamically change your business in 2014. Prospecting new account, dormant accounts or new contacts within your own accounts? Appointment setting? MBA mailings? Coaching by Dean Manzetti? We have all the tools you need to accomplish your dreams and goals for 2014 and the people to help you achieve those dreams.
Your first step to success is already accomplished, you opened the Albrecht Advantage. You cannot imagine how many emails or phone calls I get asking for something or some tool that was just in a recent edition. Did you know they are archived so you can go back and look at them at any time?
CHECK OUT OUR ALBRECHT ADVANTAGE ARCHIVE. All of the Information is still very relevant, the videos, the product information and the success stories, all timeless information.
What's NEXT, check out the Proforma regional meeting schedule. You can learn more in those 2 ½ days than most people learn in their career (I am not kidding)! Meet the awesome vendors from promotional products to print to multimedia. No trade show has all three.
Let's get the year started right.
Dream Big, Plan Bigger Achieve More in '14!

BRING YOUR DORMANT ACCOUNTS BACK TO LIFE!
Every Owner has them... dormant accounts that have garnered no sales over a significant period of time. Sometimes they're past dormant. They're dead. Utilize the expertise of the Appointment Setting Team at the Support Center to bring them back to life!
We understand that there are accounts that you aren't doing business with for a reason, but we can always assist you in digging up those accounts that just fell off the radar for one reason or another. Many Owners took advantage of our dormant account campaigns in late 2013, and we're excited to assist you in 2014 to help you reach your NEXT level of success.
Contact Greg Bruey ( GBruey@Proforma.com or ext. 3284) today to develop an Appointment Setting plan that will take your business to the NEXT level. |
