What do the Fourth of July and In-person Networking Have in Common?
My increasing requests for speaking engagements on face-to-face techniques lead me to believe people again realize the value of this form of networking to increase sales, find a job and build solid relationships.

I Want To Hold Your Hand
I talk with many sales people who have expressed frustration about their prospect’s current state of mind. We have all agreed that there are buyers out there, although fewer than in the past. They also aren’t acting like “buyers”. Prospects are faced with a degree of fear, either real or perceived, about the state of the economy. Although they have a real need, have the resources, and the job security to commit to a purchase, their interest quickly wanes.

Are You Neglecting Contact Cement
I’ve lost clients because I didn’t cement my relationships with enough personal contact.

Contacting Prospective Customers
Your referral source has done her job. Now it's time to contact the prospect. But be careful: The purpose of your first contact is not to make a sale or even ask the prospect if he has questions about your business. If--and only if--the prospect asks, should you present your products or services during this initial contact.
Debunking The Time Myth
I always hear people say that they don't have the time to look for a new job or consult with a personal board of advisors or make that extra call to an important contact. BS, let's get real.

6 Ways to Get Your Visitors To Contact You From Your Contact Us Page
Along with the About Us page, your Contact Us page is one of the most important and crucial pages on your site to get right. In fact, the Contact Us page could be considered the absolutely most important page. Even if the rest of your site succeeds in the goals, if visitors fail to find the information they need to contact you then you will bring their shopping experience to a screeching halt. Shoppers are often hampered if they don't feel they can get a hold of a real person or are limited in their contact options. With all other areas of the site working, a bad contact us page may cause someone to think twice about purchasing with you altogether.

Cultivate Your Network
In today’s mobile world, our relationships are often the only constant. Excellent leaders are also resourceful people – they know how to access their network to quickly get stuff done. Any decent contact management system can help store and update contact information, track interactions and enter other helpful data (birthdays, special skills, personal hobbies, spouse’s name, etc.).

Persistence and the Honourable Retreat
Did you know: Over 50% of sales people give up at 1st contact if they get a ‘NO' from the prospect never to go back to that prospect again. At the 5th contact 7% of sales people are left to speak with the prospect to see if they can do business together. At the 8th contact there is only one sales person left to work with the prospect. Hopefully it is you. Many sales people, especially those new to sales, often take it personally when a prospect says ‘NO'. Many fail to persist and often fail to favourably position themselves to ‘leave the door open' for future contact thus limiting their sales opportunities even further.
Legal Marketing: Are you ignoring your "contact settings" on LinkedIn
Poor old contact settings. Relegated to the bottom of your profile. Often ignored. But did you know that with a few minor tweaks, contact settings could make your profile exponentially more accessible on LinkedIn? The trick is adding your contact information (an email address or phone number) to this section – usually found at the bottom of your profile. Once you do, your contact information becomes exposed to your entire network – not just your first level of connections. This way clients are more likely to find you. And not just find you, but contact you. If it’s too hard for a client to find your prospect information, you might lose them to your competition.
