So, Why Brand?
"Hi Gerard, I've always wondered about the possibility of brand for the smaller business and whether or not it was a reasonable expectation to have. However in the last 2-3 years, I've seen my own personal brand grow rapidly and now realise how significant it can be. This hasn't always been an intentional exercise but none the less, I am starting to really see the rewards. I’ve of course used online and social media to achieve this. I had an interesting conversation recently with the organiser of a big event later this year who told me that my name was the more recognisable to the people he’d spoken to, even though there we’re some other much more significant business people speaking at the event."3 Questions Before You Start Your Next Business Growth Phase
"Hi Elli, I think a lot of small businesses are not really interested in growing and while that's perfectly fine of course, it still worth noting for the rest of us. Small businesses that are, tend to think BIG early on in my experience. They’re continually in a process of setting them selves up to handle more businesses, they tend to take a longer term view of things and have a clearer vision of where the business needs to go, another significant difference is in how they view their employees, they expect that their people will grow with the business and are prepared to invest and trust in them to get there."You Might As Well Quit!
"Hi Mairead, It's understandable that staying motivated is difficult for a lot of business people right now; my attitude has always been to look for the opportunity that exists in every situation. Too many of us continue to think that there is value in trying to push boulders up mountains, there’s not! Too many of us believe that there is value in trying to sell stuff to people that really don’t want it, there’s not! Talk to customers, find out exactly what they need now and build your offering around this. When things are difficult, this is the very best time to innovate, to be creative, to explore new ways of doing."Stay Focused: Decide What Is Important
"I like this Frank, thanks for sharing! I have a long-term set of (5-10 year) goals and have based mush of my decision making during the last two years or so on continuing to put myself in a position to achieve these longer-term objectives. Turning in down projects and potential customers has now become much easier because of this, and the projects that I work on are much more focused because. Of course, there are still times when a short-term need out weights and I need to proceed but even this have become a lot less common in the last while. Short-term thinking is in my opinion very often the reason why businesses, people and countries get themselves into difficulties and continuing to think like this virtually guarantees failure."5 Secrets To Sell More With Your Sales Copy
"Hi Denise, this is a great post for me. While my English was pretty good at school, my spelling and grammar used to let me down unfortunately! I think your advice on noticing and then taking note of your foibles is a really good one. That is one tip I will be using. Thanks for sharing."Solving The Problems Of Your World. Part I
"This is a really useful post, Irial. I'm helping a number of clients with their online/social media strategy where I'm often expected to come up with and be the workable strategy for the Biz entirely. Because these technologies are new to the people, they may prefer me to be their social media manager, and I will need to remind them that this is not the case. Sometimes it takes a few attempts but after the while they see the value in taking ownership for their own strategy and SM marketing."Making Facebook Welcome Pages Work For Your Small Business
"Hi Amanda These are some great examples, I particularly like Passion for Creative's page, the colors are amazing and thanks for including @mykidstime Another I really like is Gary Vaynerchuk's http://www.facebook.com/gary?sk=app_10531514314 "Bloggertone TV Meets The Queen Of Sales: Jill Konrath
"Well done Greg, Great interview! I'm delighted to say that Jill is someone I really admire and was one of the first people to introduce me to the how the online world could benefit me as a salesperson. Her advice is always on the money, and I really like what she had to say about helping rather than selling to your customers. Looking forward to her webinar with Seth which will be fantastic, I'm sure."Subscribe
