• Your handshake. Match to slightly lead your client in firmness when you shake hands. Don’t make them call 911 because you are trying to exude confidence.

• Your clothes. Dress a little above the expectation of your clients that you call on. Show them that you respect them by what you wear. The best outfit to wear is one that draws no attention to itself. You’re going to dress differently to visit a Fortune 50 CFO than you will to visit the manager of a Landscape Company.

Meeting your Trade Show Budget with Budget Displays
There are a number of ways to decrease cost before your next trade show begins. Although many of your expenses are firmly established (the cost of registering your booth, how much you pay your employees, etc.), many of your costs can be drastically reduced with a few simple suggestions.You will invest more money in your trade show display than in any other part of your trade show experience. There are many solutions available that are designed to offer customers the option of purchasing generic versions o

The fine art of professional selling is a production. You can do it poorly, or you can do it with excellence. A great deal of selling depends on your sensory interaction with your prospective client.

But – to a great deal – within the first two minutes of any meeting, your prospect has already formed a bias. Either he wants to be working with you to reach a common goal, or he’s simply getting as much information as he can to share with your competitor for a better deal. You can be prepared to wow your prospects when you pay close attention to how your prospect ‘senses’ that he should do business with you.

Think of every sensory interaction that your prospect has with you from the first meeting until the first time they buy from you. Each of those interactions will build the prospect’s vision of you.

What are some of the sensory (See, Hear, Smell, Feel?) experiences your prospect has that reflect who you are before he says ‘Yes’? You may not be conscious of these interactions, but your prospect is. DO NOT leave any of these interactions to chance.

• Your in-person ‘introductory commercial’. If you are networking or being introduced to someone, this is the first chance they have to make an impression of you. Don’t blow it by ‘winging’ this. Develop a scripted two-sentence commercial for your business and be able to deliver it with ease.

• Your outbound voice mail messages. You can bet that you will get placed into more voice mail boxes than you will get people live. Again, don’t let this opportunity to shine embarrass you because you’re not prepared. You called them – how could you not know what you are going to say?

• Your inbound voice mail messages. Change your voice mail message daily, if possible. Set expectations for when you’ll be unavailable during the day and when you’ll be returning calls. Suggest an alternate number for an emergency if you are not immediately available.

• Your car. Yes – from time to time, clients walk you to your car – meet you in the lot when they are arriving at the same time as you. Throw away the hamburger wrappers and the pop cans off the floorboards. Can this win accounts for you? It can lose them! Do it today.

• Your business cards. Have plenty of them. Know where they are. Carry them in such a way as to guarantee that they won’t be dog-eared when you present them. This is a production. Don’t hand someone your business card, present them with it! Be excellent on purpose.

• Your in-person voice. Pace your client. Don’t talk too fast (He won’t trust you) or too slow (He’ll think you are talking down to him). For both sexes, the lower you make your voice naturally, the more respect you command.

• Your handshake. Match to slightly lead your client in firmness when you shake hands. Don’t make them call 911 because you are trying to exude confidence.

Local Advertising - The Biggest Mistakes
When it comes to small business marketing and advertising, I am amazed at how many local advertisers squander their money. I wish I had the money they wasted. I'd be a rich man.Let's talk about your typical retailer with 1 - 5 locations.One of the biggest problems I've seen is that most retailers have no idea of which media to use when running a campaign. In fact, some don't even know WHY they are running a campaign.They know they should advertise, but they don't really know what they are tr

tion that your prospect has with you from the first meeting until the first time they buy from you. Each of those interactions will build the prospect’s vision of you.

Mission: How Leaders Create The Greatest Version Of What You Can Be
A statement of mission is one of the most powerful things you can do, whether you are running a major corporation or a small team. It expresses the purpose for the organisation’s existence, its raison d’etre, and becomes the rallying point around which everyone can unite.Often managers create mission statements because they think they should and then leave them gathering dust on the shelf. But this is to mistake the real power and purpose of mission statements. If put together with real understanding of w

Printing - How Do I Buy It?
Why should I care where I get my printed material from, I'll just go for tenders and go with the low bidder. If you do this probably you won't be in business for long or you'll never really run a successful business. My company, Solutions Ink started from the premise that I don't just sell printed products but rather I help businesses grow and prosper. Being in the business for over 20 years I've seen how the industry and the market have changed. Gone are the days you could charge what you want and deliver any

Public Relations for Security Patrol Companies
We have all heard the comments about the Rent-A-Cops or the $5.15 per hour security guard telling us we can or cannot do something. Often these folks up set us and many people are rather abrasive back to them, calling them names and complaining. Thus most security companies do not have a very good public persona.Yet this does not need to be the case and with a little smart public relations planning a security company can turn around this perception you see. How so you ask? Well why have them involved in a

• Your Accessories and grooming. For men, your shoes, watch and grooming should be impeccable. For women, nails, shoes, and accessories are always on display.

• Your smell. Very light scents are the key here. Don’t overpower, but be impeccably fresh. Whatever you do – don’t miss out on the chance to make a first impression by offering anything less than perfect breath. A moment or two with a mint in the car will help you avoid having your client so distracted that she can’t focus on your presentation.

When you master the above, you will establish trust much more quickly and help your client come to a decision for your service with less internal conflict. They are all easy to excel in. If you’re not careful, they are also easy to overlook. Make a personal checklist to start your work day and one before each call. Ensure that you make the best impression possible and watch your sales respond.
