Get Customers to Sell for You!

"Get Customers to Sell For You"
-Brian Tracy

Why People Buy
Fully 84 percent of sales in America take place as the result of word-of-mouth advertising. Some of the most important sales promotion and sales activities are those that take place between customers and prospects, between friends and colleagues, in the form of advice and recommendations on what to buy, or not buy, and who to buy from.

Join the Top 10%
The only way that you can be among the top ten percent of salespeople in your industry is by having your existing customers selling for you on every occasion. Because of the importance of mega-credibility in selling, your customers must be happy to open doors to new customers for you wherever they go.

Never Prospect Again
All top salespeople eventually reach the point where they seldom have to prospect because their customers do much of their selling for them. When you live your life consistent with your personal and business mission statements, both fitting together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, your sales career will soar, as will your sales results and your earnings.

Thanks Brian...I also believe having a system in place is also important for those of us who "never have the time".

Systems-
Appreciation is Key! By sending out love and appreciation to the people who buy from you, prospects you meet, friends and family they will get to know you on a personal level. When they get to know you, they are more likely to refer you to their circle of influence, thus we get the word of mouth advertising working for you.

This is a system I use that has helped me grow my business as well as build my personal relationships as well.

Enjoy... This is my gift to you this holiday season!

What to do after a Conference by Thom Singer

I just came across this awesome article about appreciation, handwritten notes and what to do after you go to a networking event and/or conference.

Here is the link to his blog
http://thomsinger.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-to-do-after-conference.html

What To Do After A Conference

Imagine that you attended an amazing industry conference:


You sat through keynote talks and breakout sessions while filling your notebook with countless brilliant ideas that you know will have a material impact on your career.
You visited the trade show and encountered vendors who had products and services that inspired your mind for new ways of doing business.
You met dozens of people, with whom you "clicked", that are excelling in your field.

So What?

If you do not take action within the first week of returning home, you may never benefit from the opportunities that have come into your life.

To make sure that you seize the power from the experience, you must do four things within the first seven days: Review. Brainstorm. Execute. Follow-up.

1. Review. Take a few hours to go through your notes and review all the nuggets of information you wrote down and prioritize them. You can either re-type your notes, or use a highlighter if you have them on paper. Focus your mind on the points that can have the highest level of impact on your future.

2. Brainstorm. Find a quiet place and think about all the information, ideas, examples and people that you ran across at the conference, seminar, or convention. Imagine how you can take unrelated concepts from what you heard and connect them to your own business. Additionally, think about the people you met and how you can work with them in the future, or whom you can introduce them to where there would be a benefit for connections beyond yourself.

3. Execute. Make a "To-Do List" of the top ten things the you can (and will) do immediately. Now do them.

4. Follow-up. Meeting someone one time does not make them part of your network. Meeting someone once makes them "someone you have met". There is a huge difference between a person you met and a mutually beneficial contact where you both know each other and understand how you can help one another in the future. You need to own the follow-up if you wish to cultivate an ongoing relationship. Emails, handwritten notes, Facebook, Twitter, etc... are all ways to facilitate ongoing contact. I suggest that you take the extra time to send handwritten notes to the few people who really stood out in your mind. (Only once do you need to do this, you can use electronic mediums after that first contact!). This will show that you took the time to go beyond the short-cut filled digital world that we all have come to know and love.... and that they matter to you. (Note: If you did not get their business card, or they only had email contact info on their card, then digital contact is fine!).

Attending industry conferences can be a lot of fun and very educational. They are also a great way to make contact with others in your line of work. But if you do not take action after the event, you will miss the chance to maximize your ROI. You will also forgo making some great life-long friends. All opportunities come from people, and you never know who will be able to make a difference in your future.

Have A Great Day.

What's Your Phoenix Rising?

A very stong article for me as I am currently in Phoenix Rising... Thanks Susan for writing this.


Feature Article
What's Your Phoenix Rising?

Two different and seemingly unrelated experiences recently coalesced into a common theme: Releasing or transmuting the old to make room for the new. We know this symbolically as the Phoenix rising - the bird that goes up in flames, only to be reborn from the ashes.

I had a wonderful dinner conversation with a friend recently, sharing how challenges in our lives caused us to gain new perspectives and begin to create ourselves anew, including how we show up, our work in the world and how we can be of service. The image that came to us was the Phoenix rising. The alchemical process of transmuting (burning away) the old shows up uniquely for each of us - from a physical illness such as a raging fever, to a work or relationship challenge.

We observe these cycles of death and rebirth in our external world every year with the changing of the seasons. What started out as the simple act of caring for my houseplants turned into a potent visual. As I was watering my Pothos plants I noticed that there were some yellow and brow leaves. As I was removing the dying leaves I thought about how these plants always grow a greater quantity of healthier leaves right after I prune the old leaves. It occurred to me that it was a powerful metaphor for observing our thoughts and habits that no longer support us and releasing them to make room for the new. When I looked up Pothos on wikipedia, it said "...it is a very hardy plant that requires little care." and "This is a robust plant that can stand a very high degree of abuse." Well, that's great when it comes to houseplants; however we sometimes think of ourselves in a similar way and pay little attention to the signals we receive from our body, mind, emotions, and soul. By paying closer attention to our bodies, thoughts, and patterns, we can more quickly and easily spot when something is out of balance - instead of waiting until our imbalance is yelling at us to initiate positive change.

I've seen the theme of the Phoenix rising more frequently in 2009 with friends, colleagues, clients, and myself. This year in particular is about noticing what's not working, releasing it, and creating anew. Sometimes the Phoenix rising process can be painful. That's because sometimes it takes something big to get us to think differently, shift our perspectives, get us out of our old habits and initiate change in our lives. Let's shift that dynamic by making time on a regular basis to enter the Phoenix rising process consciously and purposefully, instead of waiting until something "happens."

Proactively observe what's not working and consciously choose:·
a more balanced lifestyle·
more uplifting thoughts·
who we hang out with·
what we converse about·
to live from our purpose and passion·
how we show up in the world·
what we contribute

Here's to turning the Phoenix rising process into a joyful opportunity to proactively recreate ourselves on a regular basis.

Why?......Who knows?

Tonight on the Millionaire Mastermind Roundtable Conference Call I really spoke from the heart on the question "Why?"

In the past week 1/2 I have been a part of something that I really didn't comprehend at the time. Some friends in AZ just recently lost their niece, Hanna-age 7, in a car accident. She was a girl beyond her years and created such an amazing story that will just touch your heart.

Hanna's Dream

Then while visiting my friends in AZ I receive news from a dear friend back home that her son, Willem-age 7, just passed away from Asthma.

Again I found myself asking the question...Why? Why these young children? Why so close together?

And while speaking with Willem's mom she said something that really made sense to me. I had a ah-ha moment!

She said something along the lines of "The light children are being called back up." Their work here on earth is done and we deserve to keep their passions and dreams alive. There is a shift going on in the world and what we were to learn from these two children we have learned. And I can tell you it has been some wonderful things.

Compassion-Truth-Caring-Giving-Breathe-Focus-Passion-Give more of yourself

Then a day later I learned that my Nephew had come into this world! Today I had the opportunity to see him for the first time and it was so amazing! A true miracle!

Again the question...Why?

Why all within a few days of each other? What is the universe trying to tell me? Show me? Speak to me? I know that everything happens for a reason and those answers are still coming to me.

Perhaps it is to connect with you, here, now. To touch your life. To make a difference. To spark your passion and help you realize your "Compelling Why". Why are you here? What is your passion? Your Purpose? Your Why?

Do you feel you don't know what it is?

That's okay.

Perhaps these few questions will assist you.

-What excites you?

-What are the loves of your life?

-What things are deeply important to you?

-When you talk about them do you light up? Do you get emotional?

Great Now Write Them Down!

Simply write it on a 3x5 index card and carry it with you in your purse or wallet. That way when the little things happen that make you upset, or get you down you can refer back to your card and instantly be reminded of what your purpose or your compelling why is.

My last story that I connected with while in AZ comes from a women who lost her husband at a young age. He left behind her and their 3 young children. For the past 20 years, she also asked herself "Why, Why me, Why now, Why my family?" It wasn't until recently that she realized the answer to that why.

Her story, the people her husband touched-just like Hanna and Willem, the prompting she listened to and others didn't, has changed the lives of 100's of 1000's of people. Because of her loss, 1000's of people's lives have been touch for the better and continue to be touched. Without that event who knows if the movement that was created would have occurred.

As she proceeded to tell us her story and her realization, I too realized a little more of why the events occurred as they did for me.

I now know that Hanna & Willem's stories will continue to touch 1000's of lives for the better and the birth of my nephew comes to show me that life is always created, new stories are being written, and passions and purposes are being realized each and every day.

My wish for you is to take the time to appreciate the people in your world.

Smile at a stranger.

Shake the hand of the men and women who serve this country.

Even the small things make a difference.

Wishing you all a life of purpose and passion.
