Business marketing is essential for professional services, such as consultants, coaches, speakers and trainers.Creating trust with prospects and clients is essential. How do you do that?A Reader's Digest survey has found burns specialist Dr Fiona Wood is Australia's most trusted person, followed by singer Olivia Newton-John and Tasmanian-born Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.The survey is in its fifth year, but for the first time asked a statistically representative sample of 756 people who was the most trusted person out of a list of 100 well-known Australians."The better known you are, the more important that ability to instil trust becomes. But as our first Most Trusted People poll shows, you don't have to be running for prime minister to be put to the test," said the article published in the June edition of Readers Digest.Interestingly women often do better than men.For example, Prime Minister John Howard's wife Janette (at 74) is more trusted than her husband (85), while model, mum and charity patron Sarah O'Hare (43) is well ahead of her husband, media ex

One morning at the airport, I overheard an employee talking about her new boss. “He’s a nice guy,” she said. “He makes me feel good about working here.”Like many employees, this young woman is more influenced by her boss’s “soft” skills than his technical skills. His interpersonal skills were what mattered most: including his ability to communicate, motivate and showing genuine concern. These interpersonal traits influence people to decide to quit or stay. When a manager lacks these skills, or actively cultivates their hard-edged opposite, workers who have choices will jump ship or lower their productivity.I experienced this myself when I went into the military service right after college. My boss was a special person—a great boss. An experienced veteran and a former Special Forces medic, he was the type of person who always put the needs of others before his own.One night I pulled duty that required me to stay up all night on New Year’s Eve. It was a night that seemed it would never end. I was tired and miserable. Saturday morning, when I still had several more hours to go, t
Being able to cold call confidently, professionally and effectively will not only open up more potential business for you it will also allow you to feel more in control of your own destiny and much more empowered. Here are my top 10 tips for cold calling success…
1. Plan and prepare your opening statement.
The more individuals I train the more important I think this is. I have made tens of thousands of calls and listened to far more. Whether cold or indeed warm calling the biggest problem by far is lack of client engagement. This can be down to several factors but by far the most significant is a failure to plan and prepare a decent opening statement.
An opening statement needs an introduction, a hook (what’s in it for client) and a bridge to your questions or your close. Without these it’s impotent. Make sure that the benefits you offer are a) really benefits and b) relevant to the person you are speaking to and not just you! My top tip would be to imagine your self in your client’s shoes and then ask, “What will this call potentially do for my business and why should I care?”

Snack vending machines come in a number of different formats and styles. Most snack machines are see-through or glass-front merchandisers. This is because the customer likes to see what he or she is getting, and likes to be able to browse. Soda machines are usually solid, because most people know what a can of soda looks like and exactly how big it is; however, even that is changing as more manufacturers realize that most consumers think with their eyes. This is especially true of vending machines, where almost every purchase is an impulse purchase. On the other hand, some employees of companies that have vending machines on-site rely on those vending machines every day for a lunch break snack. Some snack vending machines have closed-faced interfaces, but that is rare.You can buy snack machines that dispense only six types of snacks, or you can obtain a machine system with hundreds of choices, that can take up an entire wall. It is important to make note of how much traffic a location is getting. This will assist you in deciding what size machine to buy. It is also important to note the d?cor

In the realm of how the public sees your business or product, perception equals reality. It is therefore of critical importance that this perception is accurate and positive, and this is where public relations steps in. It is the role of a public relations (PR) company to positively influence public perception by projecting an accurate, quality image of your company and/or product to your target market (which may include consumers and investors). This may be accomplished through a variety of applications or through one single announcement, depending on your business’s needs.Suffice to say, the first step in the process of choosing an effective public relations company is to determine your public relations objectives.Define your PR objectives and goals This is a fundamental step in not only selecting the appropriate PR company, but also in ensuring a successful PR campaign. You may employ a brilliant agency and still not achieve the desired outcomes as a result of poorly defined objectives. It is well worth the dedication of effort and time to an analysis of your bu

Many people consider owning their own business. Over the past few years there seems to be an increase in young people wanting to start businesses. This is most likely due to young persons knowledge of technology.Some people are against others starting so young. Because so many businesses fail most feel that experience can better your chances of success. Most say that instead of starting a business straight out of high school or college you should work first to gain experience.Gaining experience first is not always the way to go, if you have the drive and the will to own your own business, you should pursue it as soon as possible. Even if you fail and make mistakes, you can learn form those mistakes so that in future ventures you won’t make the same mistakes again.Also a young person who fails at a business venture will only be risking a few hundred or a few thousand dollars and will have a lot of time to recover that money. On the other hand an older person can wait until they are 50 to start a business and lose it all. When you look at it form that perspective it is easy to see
2. Get into the right state of mind and expect success.
Unmotivated people to not make good salespeople. Let’s face it, who would buy off someone who didn’t appear to believe it themselves. When I train teams I am constantly amazed at the number of salespeople who pick up the phone expecting rejection. It doesn’t seem to matter whether they are making cold calls, customer care calls or follow up calls … only a small percentage of top performers absolutely expect success.
Attitude and mindset are infectious. Clients know within seconds whether you are congruent with your message or not. I once did a verbal survey with my clients asking them why they bought from me in the first place. The overwhelming (and surprise at the time) answer was, “It felt like the right thing to do!”
Expecting success is a crucial part of your success.
3. Know WHY your need to do this.
On a day to day basis most of us forget WHY we are doing certain things. We find ourselves cold calling because we have to or because we are told to. If you want to make change in your cold calling habits then it is going to require some commitment, some focus and some persistence. The best way of leveraging these attributes from your self is to ask yourself, “Why is cold calling important to me? What does
