Referrals: The Path to Increased Sales

MLM Phone Leads Will Scare Someone, But It Shouldn't Be You!

The Best Leaders Don't Have to be in the Office
If you want to run a successful business, one of the first steps is to learn to implement systems so that you don't need to be at your business all of the time. Your office should be able to run without you. In fact, there are very few successful entrepreneurs that are also micro-managers. As a business leader, your focus should be on growing your business, not the day to day operations. For many that is a really hard transition. So, take it step by step. One great place to start is by making sure that your business can function when you are ill or away on business trips. Here are three tips to help you kick that process off.
Managing Time - Try a Power Hour
Have you ever tried a "Power Hour?" It is a great technique for your business or office. Pick 4 areas of your business that really need some focus. (for example, marketing, book keeping, recruiting, office administration, etc.) The concept of a power hour is that you spend 15 minutes -- really really focused minutes on four tasks that need consistent focus that you find you do not get to on a regular basis. Here is how to make the most of that time.
Succession Planning – How to Plan for a Changing of the Guard
In business there has been a lot of talk recently about baby-boomers looking to retire and who should they hand over the reigns to. This succession planning debate is great – but it neglects the general successions that happen all the time in business. By this I mean the sort of succession that happens: • When a manager goes on holiday and someone steps into their shoes to fill in while they are away • When someone gets promoted or transferred to another role • When someone resigns

Is Your Website Written For An International Audience?
Put yourself in your visitor’s shoes and think about just how much ‘local’ knowledge they might have if they live outside your country. And then adjust your website or web page to accommodate them.

Converting Visitors Through Errors and Form Fields
Forms are one of your primary points of contacts with your visitors. While many visitors still use email or even the telephone to contact you or to place an order, the vast majority will contact you first via your web forms. Forms that are broken or improperly implemented cause frustration and can greatly reduce your conversion rate for leads and sales. It is up to your design and development team to test your site's web forms as thoroughly as possible in order to eliminate any errors. While no site can ever be 100% error-free, finding and fixing errors sooner, rather than later, is important to maintaining a usable website. When user and usability errors do occur --and they will-- it is important to employ the right safeguards in order to ensure visitor satisfaction and reduce exit rates.

Marketing needs Six Sigma Methodology to Improve
Marketing needs to do a better job of using statistics and especially variation.

I understand that achieving the quality that Six Sigma represents may be difficult but the principles and tools should, nevertheless be utilized.
Do Not Call
Last week Smartcompany ran a story saying that the Federal Government may include business numbers in the Do Not Call register. What are they talking about? Prospecting for new business via the telephone (referred to as unsolicited phone calls) is still a legitimate and critical business activity necessary for anyone in sales and in business, especially in business to business sales where consumer marketing and advertising strategies do not work effectively. It is a vital activity any business or sales person worth their salt should be doing on a regular basis. Therefore I do not believe that the government should include business numbers in the DO NOT CALL register.
Live Consultant Thinking: Step Forward for a Good Work Environment
Smart business owners, managers and supervisors, whatever the business, know that we are dealing with people, product and profit, in that order. Statistical analysis gives us a picture of numbers relative to other numbers, but the numbers do not talk about themselves. They are talking about you and me. These numbers represent human activity. How we relate and communicate with other people, steps we take to have a good work environment, and honor humanity on both sides of the counter, affects the value of product and the quantity of profit.
