People don't believe what you say to them...
...But they DO believe what you say about them! "You've done a great job John" How does the John feel? Was the boss just buttering him up -or had he been reading a book on motivation? Take another scenario John is walking past the office and hears the boss on the 'phone "John did a fantastic job on the Jackson account" Now how does John feel?Selling is the same. I can tell you what a great marketing coach I am - and you won't believe me! Well I would say that wouldn't I? But if someone else says to you "Mike is a fantastic Marketing Coach - He's made a huge difference to my business", then you'll think differently! You are your own worst salesperson. Very few people can sell themselves credibly -even professional salespeople struggle with this. So partner with someone you respect, who shares you target market offering a complementary product or service and go out and sell each other! It really works.Want to find out how?

Make Networking REALLY Work for You
Do you go to networking meetings hoping to meet potential clients? How many do you meet? Are you really getting a good return on your time spent networking? My guess is that you aren't. This approach is like walking into a clothes shop and trying to sell them your coat. Networkers aren't there to buy. Like me and you they are hoping to sell. So why bother?
Change your mindset. Don't look for clients - look for salespeople. Regard all of the people in the room as your sales force. Then seek out those who are SUCCESSFULLY selling a product or service to the kind of clients you are looking for. Then tell them about your business and what you do and talk about how you can co-operate to send each other clients. Want to know how? Contact me mike@getclientsnow.co.uk
