Do People Really Need to See Your Ad 7 Times Before They'll Buy From You?
According to the advertising industry, your prospect needs to see your ads at least seven times before they'll act on it. And if the claim is true, you will need a deep pocket to play the game. That's why so many businesses spend enormous amounts of advertising dollars on branding and positioning, but at the end of day they have very little to show for it. Most businesses go through the mechanical motions: creating brochures and websites, buying advertising space in newspapers and magazines, paying for prime spots on radio and TV, and launching public relation campaigns to pursue publicity and raise public awareness.

Which Ads Don’t Work?

If you search through the Yellow Pages and look at a dozen ads in one category, most will look the same and feel the same. Most ads are more like an enlarged version of the company's business cards. They have the company name in the title, a lifeless description of the product or service, and a phone number at the end.

The Art of Firing
A few weeks ago I covered the topic of laying people off. In a sense, this is an easier process because it usually happens in bad times, and it doesn’t single a person out. A firing, by contrast, can occur in good times as well as bad times, and it’s highly personal.
Stress-Free Selling® - How to Make it About Them
You've heard a million times by now to make your sales About Them. But how do you do that???? Here's one easy way how. Take a look at a recent letter or proposal you wrote. Count how many times you wrote "I" or "we." Now count how many times you wrote "you" and "your." If you're like most people, there are ten times more "I's" and "we's" as there are "you's" and "your's." Reverse that! When you write in "I" terms, you write about yourself.

Success Strategies for Tough Times
There’s just no getting around it. Times are tough. Yet there is opportunity for growth in the midst of these economic hard times.

How to Hold The Sales Team Accountable Under the New Rules of Sales Engagement
If you read yesterday's post, there was a comment from Teicko who asked how you can hold the sales team accountable under these new rules of sales engagement where you must work three times harder, three times longer, be three times more effective and have three times more opportunities in the pipeline to get the same results as you used to.
Rules of Sales Engagement for the Recession
We also discussed the economy - of course - and right now, there are some new rules of engagement. You simply have to work three times harder, three times smarter, find three times more opportunities and be three times more effective just to sell what you used to sell. That's it? No. In order to be three times more effective you must refine your strategies and expand upon your tactics. You must be more creative, quicker on your feet, more resourceful and more persuasive. You must ask better questions and more of them. You must be more powerful than ever before. Do that and you will survive. Do that consistently and you will thrive when the economy turns around and money loosens up. In the mean time, no short cuts!

It Gets Lonely at the Top
Being a President, CEO or the owner of a company can get lonely at times. This is true even if you are an excellent leader and have developed a top notch executive staff. Often times you face decisions, challenges or just thoughts that you can't even divulge to your most trusted employee. Some CEOs use executive coaches to help them during these times. I personally do some executive coaching. Often times coaching is just affirmation and validation of one's own thinking but it is important to have that outlet.
