What Is Value-Added Selling?
| |
| Value-added selling is a proactive philosophy. Value added salespeople take the initiative to add value. Value added salespeople do not wait for the customer to complain about the price and then say, “Hold on a minute while I whip some value-added selling on you!” Value added salespeople build more value in on the front end so that price becomes less of an issue on the back end. Being proactive with customers means you never have to say you’re sorry.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners need to take ownership of worklife balance discussion
| |
| The mantra of the late 90’s and the first decade of the 21st century is “Be proactive.” And corporations are doing a fine job of being proactive in claiming ownership of the “work-life” discussion.
They’re doing this because when they launch the discussion first, they get to define the parameters—they get to make the rules.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners should not try to emulate what large corporations do. Instead, you should look towards owning your own work-life discussion.

Strategic Actions For Learning How To Think Strategically, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| What is strategic thinking? What does that term mean? My research into definitions brought me to the following thoughts. Strategic thinking is a process that defines the manner in which people think about, assess, view, and create the future for themselves and others. It is more about creating tomorrow than responding to both day-to-day as well as long-term problems, opportunities, and new realities. It is proactive rather than reactive. Fortunately, it also can be applied on any day at any time and is responsive to the new realities and the accelerated rate of change of today and tomorrow’s world. Strategic thinking always involves change, and many times that means profound personal change. Here are nine actions to learn how to think strategically. |

START YOUR BUSINESS CORRECTLY AND CONTINUE IT FOR YEARS
| |
| Start your business in the correct manner and you will be able to make money for years once it is up and running. It is smart to not only have goals, but also a well-laid out plan of action that you will be able to follow. As a matter of fact, running your business and your life in this manner will allow you to prosper in each of these areas. Simply put, if you know where you want to finish, you will be able to arrive at that location with less issues. It is no different from driving. If we want to drive to a given place, it makes sense to have the directions before we leave or we will end up getting lost. In the same way, online business owners without a plan will fail because they do not know where they are headed and have no direction.
