Taking the Leap Whilst Between Gigs

Make "PERSONAL" the Centerpiece of Your Brand Position
I live in Arizona where everyone comes from somewhere else and in the summer no one opens there doors. Can you imagine how grateful we are for the communication technologies that our new world offers? But something very wrong has occurred and it may be threatening your business...

- Business Development Training - How to Beat the Fear of Meeting People
Recently I presented a business development training session at a conference. The audience were managers from all across Australia. I gave them a 2-minute break and asked them to get up and talk amongst themselves. It can get scary when we have to meet new people.But – from a business development perspective – it is extremely selfish when we are not brave enough too reach out to people we don’t know.
Are You Making This "Kiss of Death" Sales Mistake?
Where are YOU making assumptions about your customers? The 2 turkeys that were trying to sell me were making judgments on my age, looks, who was with me, who was driving my car, as well as the words I used. Except that they were WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING. And you know this rule - because I'm sure you heard this from your mother:

DON'T LET OBJECTIONS BE THE "KISS OF DEATH" TO YOUR SALE...
After more than 40 years in sales, and 30 years training sales people from more than 300 different industries, I’ve reached the conclusion that most sales people lack the vital skills necessary to handle objections.
Are You SUFFERING From This Rainy Day Sales Mistake
Many Sales People Live Too Much In The Moment Yes - I know we're taught by the self-help gurus to "live in today." But when it comes to business and especially to selling, that is the kiss of death. I see it all the time. People get excited when they close a big sale and then promptly throw all caution to the wind and spend every cent. Sometimes they even do it ahead of time (before the sale is even closed)...and that is a recipe for disaster sister. Selling is like life. It will have ebbs and flows. Sometimes you will be making more money than you can imagine and then 6 months later you're wondering where everybody went!

The Magic of Action How To Overcome Procrastination
Remember the story of the Princess and the Toad, where an unhappy Princess frees a handsome Prince from a frog's body with a juicy, wet kiss? Imagine she'd avoided the Toad and that instead, our Princess had looked at him and thought: "How disgusting. I'll never kiss you.”

Get Smart - Offer a Proposal
Remember Maxwell Smart from the 1960’s comedy series Get Smart! When he was in a bind, caught by the baddies, he would often start off his explanation by saying “Would you believe…” in an effort to convince his enemies that – although he was captured and possibly facing torture - he had the upper hand. How do you handle the situation when you are facing clients, and they expect you to make them an offer? Do you simply say, “I’ll give you a quote”. This can often be the ‘kiss of death’ for your sales efforts.

The Evolution (Not Death) Of SEO
There is a lot of talk about the “death of SEO” and “the death of ranking reports” lately. It all stems from some sessions at PubCon in Las Vegas.
Marketing Like a Rockstar! Part 1
Everything I learned About Marketing, I learned From Paul Stanley of KISS! Not quite but I'll tell you what. If you pay attention to any great rock front man or woman, you will notice a couple of very clever tactics. Dateline Sunday March 22nd... So there I was indulging in a guilty pleasure... Like I said, guilty pleasure... So sunday I popped in a DVD "Kiss w/ the Melbourne Symphony. Kiss, the garishly made up rock band (with tons of pop hooks) with a symphony... Should be interesting, I thought. It's amazing what a different perspective will do. The DVD was tons of fun (guilty pleasure, remember...) but I noticed all the sales, marketing and trainer tricks that lea

Don’t call in the pallbearers yet. In a year characterized by the death of publications and publishers struggling to monetize assets, it’s not all death and gloom.

The Wet Blankets of Profitability and Practicality
I recently had a coaching session with a client who's been a bit stuck in his life, even though he's become clear of his life purpose. He realizes that it's time to create a powerful purpose project that will inspire him forward in his life but can't quite get it in gear. He even knows what the project could be but he keeps stopping himself because he can't figure out how to make the project profitable or practical. For me, considering these two 'Ps' too early in the creative process is the kiss of death. It's like placing two wet, soggy blankets over top of your kindling and wood and then not being able to figure out why you can't get the fire started.

Innovation Champions, Skunkworks, and Organization Learning
Advertising executive, Charles Brower once said, "A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right person's brow." When innovations are in the exploration stage, they need a champion to take them through the rest of the developmental stages.
Goal Setting Sucks
Are you the type of person that struggles with goals? What about New Year's Resolutions? To some, those are the kiss of death, to set a resolution or goal. People tend to have problems visualizing the outcome of such goals. On the other hand, they simply do not believe it to be possible, yet they set them anyway.
