The offering ignored......
How do I win high end clients? How do I use Linkedin to get business? How do I increase my sales? How do I make more profit? How do I network and increase my business? How do I promote my service (or Product)? How do I go from here? How do I get more business and clients?
There are three wise men in the world of sales (or business development) and these three wise men offer very worthy advise. Think of the story from the bible when Jesus was a baby and the three wise men bought Jesus gifts to have a prosperous life. The three wise men in the world of business development (or sales) offer advise that is timeless, relevant and often totally ignored!
So who are these three wise men and what do they offer to make any business or person prosperous in sales?
Before I introduce you (or re introduce you) think of your business as a song. In a song there are notes, lyrics and instruments to play the music. For the song to work all three must flow together, be in tune and be pleasant to the ear. Business development is similar there is marketing, sales and your product or service. If you spend a lot of money on an expensive instrument it doesn't automatically mean your song will be a success.
Let me introduce you to the first wise man.....FOCUS
Focus on what you want and you shall receive it. Many people split their focus and then split their results. If you are a sole operator or a small business this is even more important because you have limited resources. Focus on one thing that you do well and give all your energy into that one thing.
The second wise man is......CONSISTENCY
Consistency is often missing completely and sales (or business development) is only thought of when next month (or next quarter) is looking like having a low cash flow. Then there is a panic and the message is lost in desperation of just getting something "out there quick" Rome was not built in a day and neither will your business development. No matter if you are online or off line consistency in your business development/sales will get you results.
The third wise man is.....PRO ACTIVE
Being proactive in your business is what grows your business. Being "busy" in your business is around your ego. When you put your ego aside great thing will happen. Be proactive and put procedures and systems in place and your business will boom. It will be able to run without it's biggest asset and biggest liability - YOU
When you put together the THREE WISE MEN......Focus, Consistency and Pro-active your business will boom. And the reason you are doing this or not doing this is your mindset.
You are 100 percent responsible for the results you have.
