Actual for You - Generous Donor Refused (how qualified business slipped away)
If you work for yourself, and are perhaps a teeny weeny bit resistant to selling, this wake up call is for you. It is possible that "learning to sell" -- as opposed to learning how to promote yourself -- is not on your priority list. But, if you truly care about your customers, self promoti
You want your potential customer to purchase your product now. First, of course, you have to create a need for your product in your prospects mind. Explain the sizzle. Tell of the benefits. Try to think of any objections he may have and acknowledge them. Let him know you are looking at the situation f
Picture this. You are a fund development director for a respectable school at a well-known state university. Someone calls and says they wish to donate $25,000 for a special scholarship fund in honor of her deceased brother, an alumnus of the school. What would you say? If you think like we do, you’d say, “So sorry about your brother. Thank you for selecting us. When can we get your check!”
In this case, the fund development director responded, “Sorry, we have a minimum donation of $50,000.” The prospective donor then said, “In addition, I have a huge bequest in my will for your school. That would put you well over your minimum. Surely that would satisfy your requirements.” The development director stuck to her understanding of the rules and let the donor …and her money…go.
Instead of reporting the regrettable situation to the dean of the school (the fund development director’s boss), the donor changed her will and has designated all of her money elsewhere. What are the chances that the dean – the boss - will ever hear about the sizable scholarship and donation that didn’t make it into their bank

When I stop to think about it, I realize that this is the one and only Sunday April 16, 2006 I will ever have.Once this day is over with, it is done. I

Actionable Improvements
We often find blind spots within our clients’ organizations in the areas of incoming
lead capture. For one of our clients, we recommended the establishment of a
checks and balances system for analyzing all leads that come via their front desk
and via their web site. The analysis of the leads or inquiries is not just left with one
person. Anyone who answers the phone is expected to log all calls that come in (a
system can be designed to make that really painless). Several people are charged
with reviewing all inquiries that come to the website. This may seem redundant, yet
each person interprets a “lead” differently. As a result, many different creative
responses to leads have brought in business that may have been ignored or
rejected. Your goal should be to prevent prospects from slipping through the
cracks.
Every executive should have ongoing discuss
