No Socks Day: An Excuse to Prospect?
| |
| I’m always looking for a new reason to connect with a prospect that hasn’t yet responded to my emails.
Clearly triggering events are the number one message to center on, but what if they haven’t responded? After 3 or 4 emails I find myself trying to establish my personality so the contact will begin to feel as if he knows me and want to reply.
However, that’s hard if all I ever talk about are issues they might be facing and how I can help. It starts to sound repetitious and boring. If I don’t mix it up a bit, my email will hit the contact’s delete barrier before it’s ever opened!

Entrepreneur Education: Winning Over Annoying Co-Workers
| |
| Last week in a seminar in New York I was talking about the fact that work is not a rehab facility. This got a few laughs and some cheers. Then someone called out "I am so sick and tired of making excuses for some of the jerks I have to work with. They should go to rehab and leave us alone".
I took a breath wondering what would happen next. This very vocal man continued "we need to figure out how to test people for the nastiness gene."
I took a left turn from my prepared program to give the employees of this much respected organization a chance to ask questions and vent some of their frustrations. |

Market Research: Living in the Real World of Business Depends on Comments from the Real World
| |
| In the feature film Sliding Doors, I found myself fascinated by a conversation between two friends. Gerry had just been discovered by his girl friend as he was having an affair in their bedroom. Gerry's friend laughs at him and reminds Gerry that he had told him weeks ago that the affair would end without Gerry having to do anything. Gerry's friend asks him, "Do you want my opinion?" Gerry replies, "Am I going to like it?" With a chuckle, his friend responds with, "No. It's based on reality."

Lesson #2: The Good Luck of Goals is Not Luck at All
| |
| There are many who see the vast fortune of Li Ka-shing and call him a lucky man. Indeed, some of his more superstitious Chinese peers have even suggested that Li owes his success to 1928 – the year he was born, the year of the dragon. But, Li laughs in the face of anyone who suggests his accomplishments have been the result of chance or accident. “I wasn’t lucky,” he says, “I worked hard to achieve the goals I set for myself.” |

This post will give you some amazing ideas to increase conversions. But before I start with my list, let me give you a warning. If your website is not getting any traffic, focus on that first. A friend of mine called me the other day and she told me that he was worried because she wasn’t getting any sales from her online store. I asked her how many hits a day she was getting. She laughs and said: “How am I supposed to know that?” |

How do Churches Cope with the Recession?
| |
| Some scoffers find it hard to believe that churches not only get through hard times but that they actually grow in members and tithes and “donations” from existing church members. The press has always been antagonistic towards the Christian church so what I say here will probably be fodder for some good laughs for non-believers, but I will say it anyway. It is not their favor that I seek. |
