Are you doing busy things or really working for results?

Once I know what I need to do daily – my mission is to fill my calendar with appointments to get results. So often I see people who are being busy but not necessarily with money making activities. While I am in front of a prospective client, on the phone, and/or by email communicating I aim to do all I absolutely can to complete the transaction. If that doesn’t happen, I make another time to connect and I follow up. Many people will follow up once or twice but business usually happens at the 5 or 6 contact. Are you willing to keep following up. How do I keep track? My computer calendar is linked to my phone and I still keep a paper copy.  On my office wall I have a big white board or if you can paint a wall with chalkboard paint so you really can see the big picture. My motto is what gets written down gets done. I also keep a ring binder with a page per prospect. On each page I make a note every time I have contacted or connected with that person.

Have you ever taken a course about personalities? DISC. The first time I took a class in this, I was blown away. I knew people are not all the same, but I didn’t realize we could be put in a box! This is even true of the shape of your lipstick as you wear it down. It truly was an eye opener and has helped me to relate to different personalities, especially when it comes to being in a stressful situation. Ever heard the expression “Your children will express what you repress.” Have a child that challenges you every step of the way? DISC can make everyone’s life so much easier. The same can be said for all the people we deal with on a daily basis. Imagine that person at work that drives you crazy. When you understand about how they see things – you can actually enjoy the experience. Don’t we all want to be heard and seen?   Now I find this particularly important when it comes to a sales situation. Now I am a D or dominant personality. My hubby is a C or ca...

Are you wearing your make me feel important sign?

Image
Everyone wears a sign that says "Make me feel important".  We want to be seen and heard and make a connection.  There is a Ted Talks that says if you want to live longer - we need to make more connections.  So everywhere I go, I try to make someone feel special.  A compliment, a kind word, thank you, just a litte extra something.  It doesn't really take more time, but it makes you feel good and the person on the receiving end of your kindness. My hubby and I were in Las Vegas in a line up for tickets to a show.  The people in front of us gave the agent at the desk the worst time, horrible treatment that a person doesn't deserve.  The woman was amazing being so polite and professional.  When we got in front of her we said we were so sorry that she had been treated like that.   She went out of her way to help us get great seats.  When we left we went to find her boss and shared how great she had been to the nasty people an...
