Are You Making This Sales & Marketing Mistake?

Ask any small business owner what they would most like to have in their business and they more than likely will respond with, “more business!” We all want clients calling and walking in the door with orders in hand. That’s why we engage in the game of sales and marketing.

So, the question is: Are your sales and marketing efforts working? Have you dumped thousands into a website, social media, and print advertising over the years with little return on investment? If so, what…

Imitation Can Get You Anywhere! . . . . . . . . . . . . by Dave Park - The Maverick Builder

Imitation is not only the sincerest form of flattery; it’s also a powerful way to learn new business skills and elevate your game.

The author Mark Twain learned how to write by imitating other writers. As a youth he set newspaper stories in type, tedious work, but it gave him the chance to imitate writers. He learned the fundamentals of great writing by copying.

I hear the skepticism, “Mark Twain was a great author.”

Well you’re a great professional.…

Sneaky Sales Tricks

I love listening to sales pitches on TV and Radio. It’s fun to be able to identify exactly what type of persuasive strategy the product marketer is using to get their listeners to bite. It amazes me that they work, but they do—most people are very easy to persuade.

Here are a few examples …

Apex, NC 9-3-10

Got you! As you begin to read this you might have guessed I wanted to talk commercials... In fact, there are a couple of pretty good ones on TV. I still enjoy the insurance ones the best...

Spring Forward for Business

I think I am beginning to see the signs of spring this week. Basketball tournaments are happening for all the colleges, the sound of the ball hitting a bat can be heard in the parks, the walkers and joggers have reappeared on the sidewalks and roads again and this morning I was reminded that we will be setting our clocks forward this Saturday night as we move to Daylight Savings Time again.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some spring weather. I am ready for warm…

The End of HOLLYWOOD!

The End of Hollywood?

The first decade of the cinema's second century

recession and many fans illegally downloading films such

So this is Christmas…

I was driving recently listening as my radio played holiday Christmas carols. One of the songs that stuck in my mind was the song that John Lennon wrote in 1971 called “Happy Christmas” the song begins something like this:

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The road is so long

by: Tim Moore

The dog days of summer have settled in and with it the hot, humid heat we have grown to love in North Carolina. Recently my daughter and I spent time on a Sunday afternoon washing her car in the driveway. There is something very therapeutic about cleaning a car. All the past month’s dirt grime and pollen, were cleaned away in a few short hours.

Maybe this is a good time of the year for us all of us to stop for a moment, reevaluate and do a little washing of… Read More

What Would Momma Think?

I was at a networking event this month and a small business owner was telling me about a sales trainer he had seen recently and all the “tricks” the trainer revealed about how to get through to a prospect and close the sale. I asked if he thought these “techniques” were ethical. What he said next surprised me. He said “I don’t care how my salespeople get the order, as long as they get the order”. I was stunned.

In my opinion, that is a real problem. If the management and business… Read More

Do You Believe In Magic?

Do You Believe in Magic?

Apex, NC... 6-9-09

Well, when you think about it, some of us believe in magic and some of us don’t. Right now the NBA Finals are under way, and the announcers are discussing what team has had a “magical” season, or what team might be the Cinderella story in 2009. Magical is a very interesting word. But when you think about it, the magic in our career might be in the planning and in the technique.

Opportunities come along every day that could… Read More
