From the Publisher Good Health Beauty
| |
| In a recent article in The New York Times, it was reported that an alcoholic drink a day can significantly reduce the risk for heart disease in men while women get the same benefit with only one drink per week. A Danish study suggests that simple alcohol intake for women is protective but for men it is drinking frequently.
That's my tip on this month's focus, Good Health and Beauty. Now that we are in the relaxed summer season, aren't you all happy to hear that I am not encouraging you to exercise more, eat healthier food but simply to drink more alcoholic beverages? So be sure to sip a cold beer, wine cooler or an iced martini while you read about all the new health and beauty franchises being marketed. |

Warm Up to Cold Calling
| |
| Cold calling: For many of us, the word "cold" is the key. Just the thought of picking up the phone sends a chill up our spines. Unfortunately, if we approach cold calling with an attitude of negativity, we’ll communicate that attitude to the prospect. |

Water Everywhere!
| |
| With water so plentiful around us, usually people question only the quality of water. Hardly anyone asks you seriously, whether you think you drink ENOUGH water. They ask, instead, what TYPE of water you drink, if they ask at all. Typically, the people who ask what type of water you drink have some sort of a water filter to sell.
I’m not selling water filters! |

Cold calling is daunting. Got any tips?
| |
| Yes I do, in fact - Don't cold call! Not unless you are selling in a way that is radically different or fundamentally better than everyone else.
Then maybe you stand a chance, but the odds are stacked heavily against you. I couldn't tell you the last time a cold caller cut-through and engaged me emotionally over the phone. In fact, I dare say I have never purchased something from a cold caller.

What approach should I take when cold calling?
| |
| I encourage people to cold-call by coming from a place of 'contribution' first; I call this approach 'buying-in'. In highly resistant sales executions, like cold-calling, you have to buy-in before you can successfully sell-in because the mass of cold-callers that have gone before you, have trained your customers to ignore you. |

Leading the Horse to Water: strategies for managing motivation
| |
| You’ve heard the old saying, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink”. What causes one horse to step right up and drink deep and another decide to take a pass? Leaders often ask the same question when frustrated by failed attempts to motivate their people. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. |

Stop Cold Calling! Turn Your Prospects Into Clients
| |
| Sales should be fun, something you look forward to, and a skill that you are motivated to develop and enhance. For most people, it is something they dread and cold calling is a big reason. Why do people cold call? It always amazes me. It isn't fun, it is stressful and no one really ever feels good after it is over. If you want to turn your prospects into customers then stop cold calling! |

Pop Culture and the Coffee Franchise
| |
| Coffee is more than a drink these days it is a cultural phenomenon that seems to have taken the world by storm. While we aren't quite sure it exactly how it began or when it got so big, one thing is for certain: coffee is a drink that is definitely here to stay. If you are interested in beginning a business of your own, you might want to cash in on this big business (in excess of 5 billion United States Dollars per year) and the popular culture it represents. |

Fork It Over: The DOs & DON’Ts of Data Collections
| |
| In the digital age many of us are inundated on a daily basis with requests for
information. From mailing lists to client surveys, everybody wants to beef up their customer data. Getting customers to fork over sensitive information is no small feat, and (as with anything) some ways are better than others. Take Starbucks for example.
This year, just like last year, I received my annual Starbucks “Happy Birthday Free Drink
Card”. As we always do my wife and I searched up and down the extensive Starbucks’ menu for the priciest drink. Eventually we settled on some sort of fruit-coffee-ice cream concoction for the whopping price of $7 (CDN). We drank about half of it. So how did Starbucks even know it was my birthday and why was I entitled to a free drink? |
