New
For 2005
just what the
world needs: another newsletter
| Here
it is. The first edition of the monthly
salesmeeting has just appeared on your computer.
I hope you find it useful, interesting or at least not
obnoxious. Each month I'll try to address a few sales,
marketing, and advertising ideas. Nothing earth shaking,
but just a few nuggets that might be useful. If you have
suggestions, ideas or even a humorous idea or joke, don't
hesitate to send it to me at don@streetsmartselling .com.
If it makes me look good I'll use it. |

Back To Work
| Summer's over and
it's time to get back to work. (I don't believe for a
minute, that anybody works to their full potential during the
summer. This is especially true here in Maine.)
Have you mapped out your marketing or sales strategy for the
fall? With all the turmoil in the economy and the bad
news coming out of the gulf coast, now is the best time to
re-think your strategies and plan out what you want to achieve
and how you're going to do it. If you take the time now
to make an outline of where you expect to find business, how
much revenue you want to generate, and a list of potential
prospects and clients, you have a much better chance of
reaching your goals. It doesn't have to be complicated.
Keep it simple, and don't take all day to do it. Put
together a short outline, make a few notes and then move on
and act on it. |

Forgotten
Clients
| We all have those
clients or customers who have done business with us in the
past, or continue to do business with us, but are on
"automatic". They don't require a lot of attention or
servicing. Those are the clients we tend to forget. Don't do it. Make a list and
set a plan to make contact with those clients or customers
over the next 30 days. If you're not paying attention to
them at some point someone else will. |

Observations
I was
getting ready the other morning to attend a business meeting.
I did the usual, brush my teeth, shave and brush my hair and
hit it with some hairspray before I dressed. Just then I
remembered a quote an old friend told me several years ago.
" Once you're past forty you no longer comb your hair, you
just arrange it. " I am sad to report that it's true. |
