This Year's Almost Over, Don't Let Your Guard Down On Sales!
Have you decided that the stretch between Thanksgiving and New
Year’s Eve is a poor time to close new deals? Think again. Sales
don't have to go dormant during the holidays if you follow these
strategies: ♦Understand the client mind-set.
Even though companies on a calendar year budget may be near or at
the end of their ability to spend money, think ahead. Counteract
this objection by offering to defer billing for sales booked in
December. ♦Deem December "customer
appreciation month." The holidays are a fine time to check
in with all your customers to say "hi," wish them a good season, and
thank them for their business. Provide a small gift or scrip to
valued clients — it's an excellent way to get an audience in a
hectic month. Offer discounts and barter incentives to new
clients. Launch a strong offer to close new business deals before
December 31, by including special pricing and barter offers. You can
thus get a leg-up on the conventional thinking that December is a
slow sales month. Eye those first-quarter goals. Beyond
expectations that sales will continue during December, encourage
your sales personnel to use the 12th month to "pencil in" their
first-quarter sales prospects — so when the world comes back
to work they'll be able to hit the ground running!

It's Time To Call On Your
"Relationship Currency!"
In today's changing economic environment, where the traditional
avenues of money have narrowed, the entrepreneur must become
reoriented and work on developing a new mind-set. And that is a
mind-set that incorporates relationship currency. The use
of non-cash, relationship currencies can take different forms. In
the corporate world it is finding another company to interact with.
Often referred to as leveraging assets, they use what they have to
gain access to what they need. For a smaller company the same action
is often referred to as bootstrapping. In either case it involves
working with another company wherein both parties benefit.
There is yet another way to get out of the gate when building and
expanding your business — it's by building a relationship with
a trade exchange, and using their trade dollar currency. A trade
exchange offers you the opportunity to turn your products and
services into a currency that can be spent in hundreds of different
ways with the many members of the exchange. The benefits are
two fold. First, the additional business and subsequent purchases
will save you cash. And second, it's a world completely separate
from your cash market. So it doesn't compete with or upset any of
your present cash business. Relationships, in many forms, are
valuable and should be pursued at every opportunity.

How To Harness & Embrace The Energy
Of Fear
Although our fears arise from many sources, most agree that fear
is a result of our doubts. No matter what advice experts give, what
medicine psychiatrists prescribe, or how successful we become, fear
is always lurking in the background. Yet there is a way to take
advantage of the enormous energy your fears provide. The key to
harnessing this energy is to take action by moving toward your
fears, one step at a time. When you do whatever it is you
fear, the fear is soon eliminated — making you a stronger,
more confident person. Then as your self-esteem grows, you will be
able to move on to greater accomplishments in every area of your
life. So, take that first courageous step now!
