Tips 'n' tricks 

Tips and techniques to try out in your business day.

** Here's an awesome technique that has served me well for years. When you have delivered your product and your customer is thrilled with the work you've done, get out your Referral Journal and a pen and be ready to write down the names they give you. Break eye contact and look at the page with your pen poised to write. You'll be surprised at how easily folks will share.

** Remember that YOU are the best advertisement your business can have. Think about that when you get dressed in the morning, when you're grabbing a quick bite at the local fast food place, when you're standing in the line at the grocery store. Always have business cards handy and be ready to TTP (Talk to People).

Million Dollar Tools

If I told you I had a tool that could make you lots of money if used correctly, wouldn't you want to have one? Here's a whole toolbag full of them
  • Here's an awesome technique that has served me well for years. When you have delivered your product and your customer is thrilled with the work you've done, get out your Referral Journal and a pen and be ready to write down the names they give you. Break eye contact and look at the page with your pen poised to write. You'll be surprised at how easily folks will share.
  • Once you've gotten a referral, ask your customer to call that person for you and give you an introduction. That way you're never walking in cold.
  • Never let your customer answer a question with a yes or no. When scheduling an appointment, offer a choice. That way, it's their idea not yours. Example: "Would next Tuesday or Thursday be better for you?" "Let's see, I'll need about 45 minutes, would 1 or 3pm be better?" "Do you think {their referral) would be interested in sitting in? Why don't we give them a call and ask them". This last one kills two birds with one stone - you get introduced AND you get to give your speel to more than one person at a time.
