Most businesses do not realize their best customers are the ones they already have. They advertise to the masses and are constantly in search of new customers. I learned this concept from a great analogy (for the life of me, I cannot remember where it came from or who said it. If you know please tell me so I can give proper credit). To further your understanding, picture your business as a bucket. To keep your business running, you have to put customers into your bucket. The problem is that the bucket has holes in the bottom where customers fall out. So in order to keep the bucket full and running smoothly, most businesses have to constantly advertise to “the masses,” and put new people into their bucket. Why not just figure out a way to plug up the holes in the bottom of your bucket? Find ways to keep the customers you have. If you properly maintain your customers, they will stay in your bucket and continue to buy from you.
You would be surprised how many companies out there DON’T respect or believe in their current customer base. It makes no sense and they don’t even realize how they are hurting themselves in the process. It is so much more expensive to get a new client vs. selling to an old one. Treat your customers right… plug up the holes in your bucket. Work smarter… Not harder.
This video is fantastic…. thanks to David for finding it and posting it on the blog.
You have a spare tire in your car – Get a spare income in your life!
How comfortable would you be driving a car over a long distance without a spare tire? Pretty vulnerable. WHY? Because you never know what lies right around the corner.
More than ever, we are championing the cause of the “SPARE INCOME”. In today’s perilous financial times more people need a spare income, especially when you consider all the things that depend on it.
A network marketing company is a great place to start looking for part time extra income. I am going to be writing more articles backed up by Robert Kiyosaki… Tim Sales… Donald Trump… and many more…
Most people don’t know what it takes to start a business. That’s not your fault really… school teaches us to go to school and get a job… and when we are 80 – go back to work at Walmart handing out smily faces… hahahaha… I know that sounds odd….. but… who hands them out at the store?
I went to the school of hard knocks and found several mentors willing to teach me about the real basics of business. I will be writing in this blog about many topics dealing with owning and operating a business…. and even giving you samples and options of businesses you can start on your own… and the TRAINING is free…. pretty killer right? Be on the lookout and tell everyone about this blog… if you pay attention… it could change your life forever.
Do your prospects have photos on the walls and pics of their kids on their desk? Awards or plaques? If you want to close, you have to hit the hot buttons. When you have a meeting in their environment (office) you can use those hot buttons to close the deal. Example: Lets say you sell life insurance. Now you know that you can use something along the lines of, “Have you considered what would happen to your wife and kids if you died?” or as my good buddy Frank always says…. “What happens if you live too long? Are you prepared?” That’s powerful. Happy prospecting!
If you aren’t prepared to be wrong. You’ll never create anything creative. — Ken Robinson
