Great tips BUT dont forget you still need to SELL, SELL, SELL (http://tinyurl.com/best-damn-sales-blog). We often miss the fact that generating interest, creating awareness, newtworking still needs skills to turn leads to revenue. Prospects don’t “close” themselves. If you lack skills or need a heavy hitter sales leader, but can’t really afford it, then look at the options of interim management (VP of Sales for Hire). You can often get decades of experience for a realistic and manageble investment. There is no substitute for selling.

@Ciff
You know I think a lot of us are guilty of that. We take for granted that our old customers will continue with us becuase they’ve been with us in the past. We should be looking at it the opposite way though, reminding the old customers why they shop with us and continue to do so!

read this article and realised that we are guilty of neglecting our older clients, so called them all up and got 4 call outs planned for today.Just goes to show you are never too old to learn and grow.

thanks Matt.

This is great, I am really getting used to coming around more often, the ideas and developments that you present are good stable advice.

btw. I came across Mark Cubans post on his blog, it’s sort of up this alley, don’t you think?

@Barbara Ling, Virtual Coach

Oh yeah, social media has opened up networking to a place we couldn’t imagine just a few years ago. You can effectively network around the globe, which just wasn’t possible for most of us in a “face to face” environment.

Thanks for coming by and commenting.

@Financial Nut
Yep, like I just said to Michele above it can be a great strategy since you’ve already started the relationship. I know what you mean, we get so focused on hustling up more biz we loose site of the biz we already got.
