Monday morning business tip... for this cold morning...

It is cold out. Snow is on the way. The week is going to be cold.

So what a great day to call prospects and check in with you sphere of influence!

On a day like this a lot of people are working from home or at their desk in the office. This makes today a perfect day for follow up calls and to check in with your sphere. It is a great day to..

• Call past clients and ask for additional business or referrals
• Reach out to friends and family members to check in (and hopefully get a few referrals)
• Follow up with potential clients to ask , see if they have any questions and ask what you can do to earn their business.
• Reach out to potential referral sources and schedule a coffee to discuss how you can help each other.

If you get tired of phone calls... it is a great day to read a good business book. Try...

• Jeff Gitomer (anything he has written)
• John Maxwell's books on leadership
• Guy Kawasaki "Enchantment"
• Adam Grant "Give and Take"

Made your calls and read a few chapters? Take some time and play in the snow, curl up by a fire or spend time with loved ones or on your favorite hobby.
