Write You - If You Want to Get Clients Now - Avoid the 'Bright Shiny Object' Syndrome
Let me begin by breaking down a recent experience I have had which highlights many of the fundamental breakdowns in service that I have noticed.Recently, I decided to stop by a local donut shop for a cup of coffee. This donut shop is part of a large national chain with locations all over the country. In fact, this particular chain is largely responsible for my caffeine addiction and perhaps even my less than sporty physique. I go to this specific outlet for the following reasons:- It is close to my home
Is It Really an Innovative Management Tool?LET’S LOOK AT THE REAL PROFIT PICTURE!In today’s competitive market, only the smart leader sees profit margins climbing. He/she realizes that one of the largest ex-penditures (which must be constantly addressed) is balanced and cost-effective staffing. The successful leader realizes that leasing provides a competitive edge. Employee Leasing is not a totally new concept. It has been tried and proven by some of today’s leaders and most profitable companies. It can
You’d think, with all that information, they’d be ready to implement it all. I mean, doesn’t it just take putting one foot in front of the other? What I’ve discovered is it’s not that easy. Sure, you may know you have to get clear on what you offer. Then, once you do that, you’ve got to create a niche, a compelling marketing message, then focus on who your ideal clients are, and then market to them consistently.
But because of the Information Age that we’re smack in the middle of, there are almost TOO many things to work on. Recently, a client asked me to help her set up an affiliate program. She also asked me about shopping carts and other complicated stuff like that. The thing is she still didn’t have a business card, a website, or an ezine in place. Trust me; she’s far from being alone
In today's businesses, decisions often need to be made swiftly and accurately. While many people won't publicize it, intuition — what Webster’s defines as “quick and ready insight” — is a key part of their decision-making success.Intuition comes to us in images, words, feelings and physical sensations (such as a gut feeling.) It’s a resource that provides an additional level of information that does not come from the analytical, logical, rational side of the brain. It can be a reliable and valuable tool when i

With an increasing awareness of the amount of chemical usage in cotton production and the resulting ecological damage, there is concern about conventional cotton production, and a move to organic cotton production. Organic cotton production has low environmental impact and aims to build and maintain soil fertility and build a biologically diverse agricultural system. Third party certification verifies that organic producers comply with strict criteria.Organic cotton production represents only 0.03 percent of th

• Advertising is an excellent way to reach all of your clients. Free classified sites abound in the Internet, and you simply place your ad and watch them walk through the door. This strategy will work extremely well and you may find you get calls from clients from four, five, and six years ago whenever they are in need of your services. Clients appreciate knowing they can come back whenever they choose.• Ask for feedback and input. At some intervals within the working relationship, solicit feedback and input.

These mini-sites are one of the key tools in really dominating a tight niche topic by using keyword phrases with articles and content to bring in super targeted traffic.One of the key techniques to creating these super niche sites is, combining mini-sites with a content blog that is linked to the mini-site.

We’re all affected with the ‘Bright Shiny Object’ Syndrome, in one way or another. Sometimes I find myself caught in the web of all the bright shiny opportunities I want to take advantage of. The problem is, these distract us, pull away our focus and dilute our efforts.
‘Bright Shiny Objects’ stop us in our tracks. I know from experience, because that’s what happened to me this past year. At the beginning of last year, I had purchased over a dozen home study courses, had signed on to a yearlong wealth building program, and had committed to (and paid for) a 3-year round of wealth, personal growth, and business courses. Oh, not to mention being part of two mastermind groups, doing active personal growth and development, and working with a coach. That didn’t even include my responsibilities to my clients, my family, and myself.
Seriously, WHAT was I thinking?!?
No wonder I couldn’t focus on anything and get anything really acco
