Making Time for Me
Many people complain that they don’t have enough time to do all the things they say they want to do. There are always so many other priorities to consider and demands from others that get in the way. Then we spend our time exhausted and frustrated that we haven’t achieved what we want. Ultimately though we all have the same 24 hours each day and the real issue is how we manage ourselves to create the space we want for us. There is a whole industry built around time management, from the every day paper based diary to electronic organisers, training and workshops, sophisticated software solutions and even coaches that can help you “de-clutter”. There are however, four very straightforward ways to create all the time we need and keep it simple. Find out more in “Making Time for Me!”

Voice Mail - Friend or Foe
What is your instant response to the question? If your belief is voice mail is bad.... it will be bad! You will validate that belief by making sure you get no value from it. If there is one thing guaranteed to drive consultants up the wall, it is trying to get prospects to return their calls. We are in a catch-22, you cannot drop in without an appointment, but we cannot get an appointment because nobody returns our calls. You just cannot win sometimes.
Appointment Letters – Small Business Tips to Get Your Foot in the Door
Many small businesses struggle with writing letters to potential clients trying to get an appointment with them. But it doesn't have to be as difficult as it may seem. As a professional copy writer, here are my top 10 tips for effective appointment letters.
A Matter of Trust
Trust is the basis for all successful leaders and all successful relationships for that matter. You cannot buy trust, but it is free. Trust is priceless yet can be earned over time. Have you ever tried to request someone’s trust? Maybe it was a team member, customer or a colleague. You may have wanted a decision to be made in your favor. To overcome some initial disagreement and expedite the decision making process, you might resort to “Hey, just trust me!” That statement is worthless. Either the other party already trusted you based on your past actions or they did not trust you and your request won’t change that. Trust is not spoken, it is demonstrated. Trust cannot be requested, it must be earned.

In front of the customer - selling face-to-face
When we eventually get an appointment with a decision maker we will need to make sure that we maximise our chance of getting the business.

Successful Appointment Setting in Today's Economy
Many marketers have gradually come to realize that the key to getting your prospective clients to listen to you and hear you out isn't just getting an appointment. If you are in a business that requires you to set appointments first you may hear questions/comments like this: 'Give me the Readers Digest version right now or I'm not making an appointment.' OR 'I need to hear a little more detail BEFORE I meet with you' OR 'If this is going to cost me anything, I'm not interested' OR Gone are the days when the prospective customer just waited for your call or visit so YOU could inform him or her how things worked. How can you get your foot in the door to gain trust and image credibility?
Entrepreneurs Want To Write A Small Proposal or Quotation?
A proposal is a document written to outline work that will be done at a set price in response to receiving a request for proposal, or more formally a RFP (Request For Proposal), ITT (Invitation To Tender) or RFP (Request For Tender). A quotation is a less formal document that is a document that outlines the work to be done and a reasonably accurate price for its completion.

Retailing is Detailing – All about the Customer Loyalty Program
It is very common to receive an update request from the customer like “we have created a database of 500 customers and we want to introduce a loyalty program for them” The most common reply to this request is “Yes we have a CRM module and this is the update charges” Although the question is answered but it leaves many questions unanswered.
Tips for Effective Appointment Setting – Handling Objections and Listening Skills
Getting your prospect to talk to you is achieving half of the appointment setting effort; the other half which is just as important is addressing your prospect’s issues and concerns. You have made your way through the gatekeeper and have delivered a fantastic opening statement. Now your prospect seems to be listening and finally he responds with a series of questions and states the reasons why your product or service doesn’t measure up to his expectations or it does not answer a need that would merit his consideration for an appointment schedule. In short, he is now in the “objection” mode.
A Little Boy and His Empty Bag
I recently accompanied my mother on a routine medical appointment with her new physician. This morning appointment and the literal change was more out of necessity than choice since her physician of over twenty years finally threw in the towel and retired. While completing the enormous mounds of paperwork required by a new medical provider in today's contradictory electronic world, I noticed a young mother walk into the waiting area with two small children. The mother was probably in her early twenties and the children, one girl and one boy, looked to be four and three respectively. She was flanked on both sides by these extremely well kept and well behaved young children. The boy more noticeably was on her right hand and closest to me as they passed by in order to check in with the receptionist and eventually find a place to sit.

What\'s An Opinion, Anyway?
A client called me recently with what she said might sound like an odd request. "I need your 'opinion,'" she said, "and it has to be in writing. Can you do that? And what does that mean, anyway?" After reassuring her that it was not an odd request and that not only could I do it, I would, I gave her an explanation...
