Referrals: Get More Client by Asking "Disqualifying Questions"
What would happen if you ran an ad on Google and everyone clicked on it? Would you be thrilled that so many people wanted to know about your service? Or would be shocked at the size of the bill and your inability to handle so many requests for information so quickly? Maybe both. That’s why you need to ask “disqualifying questions” when you do any form of marketing. If you don’t, you’ll find that you have a lot of unqualified prospects and more people than you can handle. And you won’t be able to give the proper attention you need to the prospects who are truly interested in your service and qualified to buy.
What Happens When You Try to Hard To Sell?
If you are in an industry that has been impacted by the recession, and you are doing everything possible to continue to bring in revenue, then you are working twice as hard, twice as long and twice as smart. If not, you are probably failing right now. Twice as long is plenty obvious. Twice as smart means planning the strategies and tactics you'll use for each opportunity. But what about twice as hard? Is that working twice as hard today and tomorrow or is that working twice as hard with every prospect?

Nonprofit Fundraising: Success vs. Productivity for Nonprofits
Is "success" the same thing as "productivity"? Not when it comes to fundraising organizations. "Success" usually means high levels of income or gifts. "Productivity" means producing desired levels of income at controllable costs, ensuring that income is consistent and predictable, and managing the effort with efficiency. Here are a few tips to help you assess and improve the productivity of your nonprofit's fundraising efforts.

Flush the Ambiguity out of your Sales Pipeline
Truth or Fiction! Do you feel this is the guessing game you are playing when assessing the potential and probability of your sales pipeline? Uncertainty over new business opportunities is a big issue. Often times it is a result of having a subjective, non-scientific approach to predicting potential and probability of revenue opportunities.

The Lost Sale

Powerful Roles For Strategic Marketers According to Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
A strategic marketer or business developer knows how to get to know prospects, listens to what the prospects say, hears what the prospects say and ensures that he or she understands what the prospect is saying. In today’s competitive business world, there is a real need for true strategic marketers and business developers. Too many marketers and business developers are of an old breed and they are using tired old non-strategic approaches to prospects. These “traditionalists” also are not recognizing new characteristics of prospects. Therefore, in my opinion, a new brand of strategic marketer and business developer is needed to be successful in the marketplace today. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach offers the following perspective on these roles.

You Can't Sell Anybody Anything… Until They Discover They Want It!
Despite what most traditional sales trainers tell us, it’s very difficult to convince people that they want or need something that they're not already asking to buy. Our experiences at Sandler Sales Institute have demonstrated that when we try to force-sell our products or services, all we do is evoke feelings of defensiveness in our prospects. Unconsciously, the prospects "defend" whatever it is they already own or use. Under those circumstances, prospects won't make a "new" decision.

Because this can very dangerous to your profit margins, time, energy and possible frustration levels - let me give you a Sales Diva warning.
