Digg it UP - Are You Afraid of Marketing, For Fear Of Growing TOO Fast?
Job Searchers, have you ever been so close to getting a new position that you stop doing most of the things that brought you to that point? It is easy to get so excited over one potential opportunity that you forget how important it is to keep your pipeline full of leads.A job search takes time, potentially three to six months, or longer in our current economy, depending upon your particular skill and salary level. People often get discouraged at the amount of time it is taking and may slow down or even stop the process. In addition, employers often state an ideal time frame to fill the position. However, tha
When you are in the right path, you must persevere. This is a basic understanding you must have when you are on your journey to success. There are some persons who are naturally lazy and possessing no self-reliance, no perseverance. However, they can cultivate these qualities in order to become successful. As Davy Crockett once said: “This thing remember when I am dead. Be sure you are right, then go ahead.”Endeavor to persevere is a phrase I heard in a movie a number of years ago and it has stuck with me ever since. Endeavor is a conscientious or concerted effort toward an end; an earnest attempt. Whereas pers
Both were worried that this Client Attraction stuff would work SO well, they would attract TOO many clients. You’d think, “Well, that’s a good problem to have, isn’t it?,” but you’d be surprised at how often this comes up in my coaching with clients and group programs, and how often it keeps some of my clients literally stuck in their tracks. Inevitably, I hear things like:
“I’m nervous. My life is so busy, how am I going to handle more clients? I know I want more, individual clients; however, on some level I think, ‘My plate is full. How can I add something else to the plate?’ Thinking of adding too many clients stresses me out. What if it’s more than I can handle?”
The anxiety may come down to the fact that you haven’t learned how to fully manage your time quite right. It could be that your systems aren’t in place yet. Both are things I ruthlessly work on with clients in my coaching and infoproducts, so that by the time a prospect calls yo
So often, new business people will print custom designed threefold advertising brochures to give to new customers. I have seen new business owners spend two or $3000 doing this and defend only using half of them because they had changed their business or their prices.It seems like an incredible waste of money and it may be smart to not print custom designed free folds glossy advertising brochures when you first start your business.Having been in the franchising business for nearly 2 decades and launched our franchisees in hundreds of cities it became quickly apparent to me that even with our business mo

Within the world of business, innovation and creativity have a lot in common with values. They both get a lot of positive talk. But no one walks the walk. Companies say they want good managers who put people first. But do their actions put feet on their words? Not in my experience! And not according to executive coach, Barb McEwen."In the last few years most companies have recognized the importance of documenting their values. Some have gone to great lengths in detailing what would be ideal behavior but it is still the rare company who has leaders who actually walk the talk."In the same way companies

Most TV commercials you see, radio commercials you hear, training films, and more use the voice of a professional announcer. In the media industry, these much sought after voice pros are called Voice Over Talent.A fine voice over talent can give you a warm, friendly read that not only entices prospects to take an interest in you, but effectively urges them to buy. A good voice can accentuate just the right words, stress the right phrases, and literally create an emotion in the listener.In the past, many producers both large and small avoided working with top voice over talents because (1) they were hard

They say that it can take at least seven contacts to turn a stranger into a customer. When building relationships in business with your customer, it shouldn’t start when your customer makes the first purchase. It starts way before then. Instead what to do is cultivate your first contact with your customers and turn it into a friendly and true relationship. Long before they buy from you. Not only will it be good for your business, you might end up with a friend for life.Promoting your business is very important. But building relationships in business is even more so. You should always have your products and se
If you think it through objectively, the fear of having TOO many clients doesn’t make sense. First, it’s not like you’ll realistically be FLOODED with hundreds of calls in a matter of days, at least not in the beginning (don’t we wish?!). Speaking from experience in working with thousands of clients at this point, it’s usually more of a steady and consistent trickle, instead of a crashing wave, which is great.
Typically, the worry of growing too big is based on a fear of change, fear of overwhelm, fear of failure, and perhaps fear of success at the same time. If you ask me, it all comes down to a fear of LOSING CONTROL.
Truth is, you CAN handle it, and you ARE in complete control because YOU limit the number of clients you take on. Worse comes to worse, you can put people in groups, or put prospects on a waiting list and keep in touch with them until there’s room for them. The key
