Customer Service for Mobile Tool Sales People
Perhaps you have seen the Matco or Snap-On Tool Guys out there peddling their tools to local mechanics in your community. Indeed they have to be good at sales, but more importantly they must be good at customer service too. They have to work with their customers and they must also be careful to get paid, as these independent business guys are generally independent contractors or franchisees and they are responsible for that outlay. Good customer service means more sales, referrals and getting paid first and that equates to their bottom line and most importantly their cash flow too.How can you provide bett

Write product descriptions. There are millions of items for sale online and if you were to do a search of just one product on Google you would find that the product descriptions on each of the sites are virtually the same.

Not only will they stand out, but they also have a better chance to be indexed higher in the search engines.
Write a referral blog for local contractors. Blogs are still hot and very easy to use. Here’s a twist on a referral business that’s easy to start and virtually free. First, start a blog and give it a good name. You can use WordPress.com and it’s free. Second, get out the phone book and contact local contractors in your area. Let them know that you would like to feature them in your blog for FREE. Yes free (for now). Third, ask them for a list of references and also have them tell you about their business and exactly what they do. Take good notes. Fourth, enter a blog post for each contractor and tell about their company, what they do, and also the referral testimonials. Fifth, once you’ve got enough contractors and categories, make your blog known by emailing your friends and asking them to pass it on to their local homeowner friends. Have the homeowners sign up for your blog and collect their email. Finally, after a while you will have a vehicle to create real income. If you spend the time to build up your list and you either email them or have an RSS feed each time you add a contractor or someone posts a testimonial about a contractor, you can make a good case for contractors paying you. It should be easy to get 200 contractors. If they pay you $30 per month to be listed, that’s $6000.oo per month for you.

Finding The Right Career: Defining The Job That Best Suits You!
Some twenty or thirty years ago, finding the right career was restricted by lack of global internet tools, limited by more old-fashioned (if you will) values and opinions, and less important than “finding yourself.” I remember when my therapist, the savior of all saviors as far as I’m concerned, laughed with me over how I had gone about finding the right career: I had signed up to all the courses that I found interesting and many I hoped were in some way related, then tried to decide on a major/career. She lightly joked that a lot of people decide first, then do the footwork of takin

The Innovation Mindset
Joe has been made redundant after many years in the company. He is the victim of cost-cutting, re-structuring, right-sizing, re-deployment...of a re-something. A friend comments: “There he goes. Poor Joe. 20 years of experience going out the window.” The re-engineering consultant overhears the comment and hits back: “There he goes: Joe, one year of experience repeated 20 times.”As the joke goes it is a clever one that has converted a sad part into something that many people can relate to. Many jobs and tasks have to do with repeated processes with little room for change or improvement, let a

Making The Most Of Your Sales Flyers
Many people know the value of newspaper inserts, dircet mail, and sales flyers, but drop the ball when it comes to making people react to them. Obviuosly, it is always a better looking flyer when professional designers and copywriters are used. But, even they sometimes miss the boat on getting action. The best way to get any action on your sales flyer is to "give your customer a reason to come in and try you out". That's right, the "what's in it for me" approach. Think of yourself like a consumer. What would it take to get you to try a new product, or try a new vendor, etc.?It is all in "The Offer". Yes,

Be a link finder. What is a link finder? With Google’s new patent application we were able to delve a little deeper into their secrets. Because of this we have found that it’s definitely not the number of links but the quality of links to your site that counts. Not only that but you better be sure the sites that link to you are relevant sites. Now, go online and pick any niche. Research the companies, do a link check, and also a keyword analysis. Now use the keywords and links to find relevant sites for that niche. Go to the sites, find their linking policies, and put it in report format. Also be sure to use Google’s page rank feature and don’t include and page ranked under four. Now you have information for sale. You can even put the information in eBook form and sale it on a website. Remember, you’re looking for complimentary companies, not competition.
Start an online PR firm. This will be fun. Here’s how it works. Pick a niche. Subscribe to as many forums and Blogs as you can find in that niche. Set up RSS (Really Simple Syndication) for these blog post and forums. There will be many opportunities where someone in those Blogs and forums could benefit from the knowledge or a product of a company you represent. For instance, suppose someone is looking for a blue widget with automatic wipers and supercharged carburetion, since you know the companies you’re representing and their products or knowledge base, you should be able to give a subtle referral for these companies. Charge per referral and simply send a report each month with the links to the Blogs or posts.
