Stress-Free Selling® - Hot Buttons Ignite... How do you find them?
Hot buttons are words, phrases and concepts that are especially meaningful to Prospects. For example, an audio person might better relate to "I hear what you're saying," and a visual person to "I see what you mean." Though the difference is subtle, it is exactly these kinds of subtleties that makes sales, heck, life, easier and stress-free. You're an insider when...

It is All Your Fault
What makes your business stressful? The huge volume of work? Having copious different projects to monitor? The long hours? Always thinking about work? Is it the bills? No. Actually, it's you! We are evolving into a population of complainers who want to stay 'under the radar' of responsibility, through avoiding conflict, negating ownership and persistent procrastination
Present Like a Rock Star
You live and breath your subject matter. You own your expertise. You wouldn't be presenting or speaking if you didn't have this command of your topic. So I always wonder why people need notes to talk about what they know so well. After all, you don't need notes to have a chat with your children or grand children, you've lived the experiences all your lives.
Your Office on the Web! (Virtual Offices)
Chances are you work as part of a small team. It may be your whole office or just one department in a larger organization, or you may be part of a team that changes with each project. Regardless, your projects typically involve exchanging files back and forth, copious e-mail threads, and the need for viewing a shared group of contacts and calendar. Wouldn't it be great if you could have a central place to keep everything related to each project and the ability to access to it from anywhere? You can with a web-based virtual office.
Do you use a spiral notebook?
I suspect the ‘hunting and pecking’ for something to write on is a common scene in so many workplaces. Jotting notes on loose pads of paper, using sticky notes for phone numbers and scrawling a customer reference on the back of an envelope or business card are all symptoms of poor personal organisation.
Take Note
I would like to focus on something, that at first glance, may appear rather trivial. In fact it might seem so inane that you are wondering why I am even writing about it. It’s ‘note taking’. I learnt a very salient, if not embarrassing, lesson in my early 20’s. When in my first sales consulting role I turned up to a sales meeting with a prospective client with no obvious note taking materials. Up until that time I had never been told to take notes by my managers. I hadn’t thought about talking notes myself. I relied on my memory.
Sharing is caring: video upload sites
Video sharing is now one of the major players in the game of online marketing. It makes sense - sure, every website needs terrific, keyword-full content to be able to attract, inform and engage a visitor. But how much easier is it to click a Play button and sit back and listen, then have to scroll through the unfortunately copious amounts of text many businesses feel they need to fill their website with. Videos are interesting, entertaining, easy to watch and can be relatively cheap to make. Many people learn better visually than through the usual text. And this is why video sharing has stepped up to the plate and hit a figurative home run for businesses across the online world.
The Power of Personal Notes
There are many things you can do to develop a great reputation, establish rapport with clients, colleagues and prospects, and get top-of-mind awareness in your target market--certainly too many things to list here. But few things are as effective (and inexpensive) in accomplishing all of those objectives as personal notes. As a devotee of personal notes, I've even been known to go so far as to call personal notes one of the three "magic bullets" of marketing.
Notes to Boss
So in the interests of helping that boss "see what it looks like" to be a winning at working manager, I have a few notes for him, and others like him.

Are you a “Paper Person?” Consider an Electronic To Do List
For those of you who still use paper for a to do list, like pads of paper, a planner, post-it notes, or maybe you use your memory entirely, consider making a change to an electronic to do list. It doesn't have to be in Outlook. It can be in Palm or Entourage or Lotus Notes. Outlook, in my opinion, happens to be the best and most powerful, but a good task management system is workable in other software systems too. Here are the 3 best reasons to start using an electronic to do list:
