Strengthen Business Sales in a Tough Market
When times get challenging, its time to evaluate other methods of getting the job done.

Doing a solid for the Brand next door
At a crossroads of content and the seemingly vast sea of digital options, there has never been a more important time for the field of Marketing. It's a wonder with so many solutions, so many options, so many brands are going so wrong and it's actually contributing to the pains on Wall Street and Main Street. So when you hear Obama remind us of our individual responsibility, consider your responsibility as a Marketer. Whether you are selling traditional tools or cutting edge goodies, on retainer or fighting for every inch, you need the chance to tell your clients what they need and need not. Well it's not always easy so before you start taking it out on the family dog, get out your comfy clothes and settle in for the long haul. That's right, you heard me, the best way to be the man (or woman) with you client is to start being the BFF.
Your Core Desire for Learning
With so much to learn, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Focus on your Core Desires as a way of defining the direction of your learning. This will allow you to maintain peak interest while collecting information and processing data. If you are learning about things you are not interested in, your enthusiasm will quickly wane. Suppose you have a Core Desire to learn how to ski. Eagerly you seek to accomplish this desire-you buy the best equipment, take ski lessons, and willingly stand in line in the cold. You spend time listening to other skiers reveal the finer points of the sport. You ride the ski lifts even if you are afraid of heights. Because you have this Core Desire, you go all out.
Open Doors with a Pitch-Perfect Approach Strategy
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to creating a new relationship. Custom tailoring is the only way to go. Here’s a process to develop an approach strategy for building (or rebuilding) a relationship:

Don't settle, find a job you love!
Are you happy where you are career wise? Do you genuinely enjoy the work you do? Many people express their unhappiness at their current job, but very little spend the time researching why. Do you enjoy what you do but maybe not the environment or people you surround yourself by? Or, do you wake up day in and out dreading the day and work ahead? Once you determine the source of your unhappiness you can create a plan to move forward.

Getting through the Gatekeeper
The Administrative Assistant we all rue having to deal with can actually help open doors for us - if we take the proper approach.
Customers that care
I visited the new Apple store in NYC on 14th Street yesterday. This one isn't as flashy as the one in midtown, and it has a fairly annoying design flaw. The two front doors don't close. Push them open, walk away and the door stays open.
The Franchise Timeline
Guidelines for how long it should take to open a new franchise. Susan, a bright, energetic and make believe person, has decided to become a business owner by buying a franchise. She understands that there are many steps to the process and asks me how long it will take before she will be able to open the doors to her business. Figuring she wouldn’t be satisfied if I told her that it could take anywhere from several months to a year or longer, more or less, I came up with the following timeline.

Franchising First Steps
I’VE BOUGHT A FRANCHISE. NOW WHAT? So you’ve bought your franchise and are ready to get started. Before you open the doors and start welcoming customers, you’ll need to have everything ready to go. New franchisees will usually have a lot of help for their Franchisers, but it’s good to be ready for what is coming. From training your employees to securing a location and mastering the skills you’ll need to manage the business, there are a lot of preparatory steps. These things take time and effort, and all of them must be completed before you can actually start doing business. Here is a list of some of the steps you’ll have to take, and issues you’ll need to be ready for when you are getting set to open the doors of your new franchise:
Goal Setting - If They Can Do It, You Can Do It
Goal setting is one key to success that most people know about and very few use. It's sad but true. See how two men used this key to open the doors to their lives.
The Serendipity Factor
Incredible things happen independently of those you personally create. I call these serendipitous blessings. When you're pushing hard on door A, someone or something opens door B. Often, when you look through door B, what's behind it is much better than what you were going after in the first place. However, you wouldn't have seen door B open if you hadn't been in the hall pushing on door A. Get in the here and now and look for the other opened doors, or go open some doors on your own.
Small Business Growth: Recession Rescue Strategies
This week alone, I have heard from two business owners going "under"... literally closing their doors and, of course, blaming the economy. I must say that both of these companies started out with overwhelming debt, and neither had shown a month of profit since opening their doors. They were both open BEFORE the "recession" hit. Both invested heavily in traditional marketing. Both inquired about hiring a business coach, but never felt it worth the investment. THIS is the Darwinian-like "thinning of the herd" that we will continue to observe in "tough times". But you don't have to be one of those eliminated... So, what can you do NOW to rescue your own business today?
Open Enrollment Health Plans
There comes a time during the year where health insurance companies open their doors for open enrollment where consumers have the ability to make changes to their current plans. Open enrollment refers to a time period where all members within an insurance group can enroll in particular benefit packages. When a health insurance company has these periods of open enrollment, they are obligated take on applicants without assurance of insurability. There are certain exceptions, so applying early on and being diligent in understanding your specific health insurance policies and procedures will help you get the best deal.

Close the door on Opportunity?
Now you have been to this hallway before – but at that time there were some doors open, and some closed. And behind one of those doors you know is Grandfather’s study – and you have been told not to go in there. Standing at the top of the stairs, you know you must make a decision. How you wished Grandmother had been clearer on her instructions!
