Dear Iris,

Valentine's Day is upon us; love is in the air. But why is it that love is only nationally embraced one day of the year?
Wouldn't it be great if we embraced love everyday? You might be thinking, love, what is she talking about?; this is about business.
Yes, it is about business and if you don't love your customers, somebody else will!

  • Love is in the Air

    You may not like all of your customers, but it is very important to love them ALL. Customers are the reason we are in business and paramount to the reason we make a living. Even if the person you are doing business with (or who is a prospective client) is someone you don't particularly like, you must learn to treat them as if you love them. After all, they are why we work. They keep the wheels of commerce moving and we need to treat them accordingly.
    Be a professional; put your personal feelings on the back burner and do what a professional sales person would do: take the best care of them that you can and treat them the way you want to be treated when you are the customer!


    Rewards Tied to Quality

    A recent survey revealed that 54% of America's major companies now directly tie employee salaries, incentives and rewards to quality performance. The study demonstrated that quality in product and service is crucial to customer allegiance and business survival.

    78% of the nation's largest employers responded to the survey. Among them were such giants as: IBM, Federal Express, Xerox and AT&T. Companies are tying compensation to quality to win and keep customers.
    If this is not how your company gives salary increases and bonuses, perhaps it's worth thinking about.


    A Bit of Inspiration

    " The past is an experience; the present is an experiment. The future is expectations! Use your experience in your experiment to achieve your expectations!"


    Workshops Work!

    Even if you have been selling for years, it's always a good thing to refresh your skills. We forget things, we develop various habits-- some of which may not be the best for our sales closing ratio; we get away from the basics and just need a bit of motivation, inspiration, reminding, or new eyes or ideas to help us get back on track.
    If you are looking for support in your personal career, or lead a team who could use a boost, then contact us today to discuss your challenges.
    We welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Please send our newsletter on to others who may benefit from it as well. We appreciate your continued support.
