Successful People Build Their Brand on Integrity
Successful people create positive personal impact. Creating and nurturing your unique personal brand should be your first step in creating positive personal impact. Regardless of how you choose to brand yourself, you should build your brand on integrity. This means saying what you think. The video, "Ouch! Your Silence Hurts," suggests that you should become a "pro-active ally" instead of a "silent colluder" or "passive bystander" when you encounter a situation that doesn't fit with your values. This video is a wakeup call. It tells us that we shouldn't let words and actions that conflict with our values go unchallenged.

Has Your Wake-Up Call Arrived?
A wake-up call is a resounding signal received that change is necessary in your life. Often we get this type of call when a crisis or deeply challenging situation has emerged. A wake-up call is a resounding signal received that change is necessary in your life. Often we get this type of call when a crisis or deeply challenging situation has emerged. Clients ask me, "What is crisis in our lives? How can we tell we're heading into crisis, versus simply going through a really bad patch?" What are the signs of "breakdown," as I tend to call it?

Allow your Marketing Business thrive with Training and Support
If you try to go on a solo run in your new business venture you are doomed for failure. It is like a ship without a compass, a team without a coach, a classroom without a teacher. It simply won't work. The unfortunate truth is that many of the countless business opportunities on the internet offer the universe but if you investigate these companies they offer little support structure and very little education.

Is Sales Really a Numbers Game?
The other day, I got a call from Brian, who was a first time visitor to my website. He told me during our conversation, "I see other people at work playing the old numbers game. You know, they make as many calls as they can, hoping that a few will turn into sales.

A Wake Up Call for Marketers
Understanding and embracing digital media is critical for today's ad agencies and marketers. Nike has worked with the brilliant creative agency Wieden + Kennedy since 1982. Their founders have a longstanding close relationship. Yet Nike needs more than terrific traditional campaigns. They need to take full advantage of the internet and build a cohesive online strategy to reach their target audience, build their brand, foster their community and drive sales. Apparently Wieden didn't prioritize online marketing to the degree Nike needed. And so earlier this year, Nike announced that they'll move their interactive assignments elsewhere. This wakeup call about online expertise isn't just for big consumer ad agencies. B2B marketers, consultants and agencies should pay attention as well.

Who You Call On is a Conceptual Thing
When you make calls, whether it's a brand new sales call or a service call to a customer, the level you call on within the organization is a reflection of how you see yourself conceptually.

Ponzi Schemes and Steroids These are the Days of our Lives
When you step back and look at the leading economy of the world (the US economy), you can’t help but think that we have come to one “MAJOR FORK IN THE ROAD”. The purchase of a home can be like a ball and chain that prevents people from reaching their full potential in some cases. If 2008 is not a wakeup call to understand finance better, then the future of the U.S. economy is in for even further long term challenges.

A story of inspiration and action for marketers
I love the John Jackson wakeup call in the morning in our business. Some of us need coffee, tea whatever it takes to perk you up first thing in the morning. For me it is the cup of leadership .This morning was no different except we all witnessed John tell a very heart rendering story about his dad who passed away 11 years ago and he became very emotional at one point as he fondly remembered his dad. There were many lessons to be learned from this story and I will share a few of the highlight moments of that call with you.

Top Sales Pros do These 10 Things----Why Don't You?
Every month, I run a Coach Call on two different topics. On this month’s second call, I listed the Top 10 things that the top sales pros do that most of the others do not. Since I recorded this call, I have had dozens of people respond that the call opened their eyes to the things that are necessary to stay on top. Furthermore, many of the respondents commented that the Coach call helped them get back on track to re-start doing the things that they used to do. In either event, due to the overwhelming response to this call, I have decided to write a corresponding article for those of you who are not part of the Coach Call program.

How not to make a prospecting call
A woman from Australia recently called me on a cold call. She started by calling me ‘Sharon.' For those of you who know me, I refer to myself as Sharon Drew. Folks who call me ‘Sharon' are either making a cold call, or haven't read my books or blogs. I have a long history with this problem, so playfully said, "Ah. You don't know me well. I call myself Sharon Drew and I use both names." [Note: for those of you who study Buying Facilitation® I suggest you begin calls with strangers by giving your own name, saying it's a 'sales call' and then asking who you are speaking with, even though you may have a name in front of you.]
