Selling: Only One Way To Make It Work In This New Economy

How Do You Sell Correctly?

You must align with the strong personal interests of your buyers, investors, contributors.

Notice I didn’t say that they should align themselves with YOUR interests and programs... they will only join you IF they feel that you are aligned with THEIR strong interests.

You must align yourself with a person’s driving, highest, most burning, most passionate personal interest.

Sell to their compulsions, emotions, deeply-set connections to what they feel they were put on this Earth to do.

And be sure to turbo charge everything you do to get the most from it.

Your Health Or Your Business?

Wearing a Heart Monitor is a Wake-Up Item

I believe I set my own destiny. I don't believe others who say, "my temper is bad" because they belong to a certain ethnic group or "I'm getting fat because" whatever excuse they come up with other than eating too much.

So when I say "I'm a man and don't go to the doctor very often" I'm falling into the same trap.

But I had myself believing that.

So when the chest tighten, a burning sensation from the heart area down my left arm, and wild beating and pounding, I dragged my sorry rear end to my primary care physician (not sure we're even allowed to SAY "doctor" any more), and she sent me to a cardiologist.

Well... she SUGGESTED that I go to one and so I selected the one who works with both Mom and Dad, figuring he will know my family "history" pretty well.

Today I'm wearing a heart monitor 24/7 and will for several days. It hasn't gone off many times, so it's really not finding much.

And when friends asked me "what did the cardiologist say" after my first appointment, I focused on what he did NOT say - he did NOT say "get to the emergency room right now!" (That would have been a bit frightening!!)

I really think I need more exercise. Here I sit tapping away to you and I'm not out walking, running, playing tennis. I did, however, just start a new marketing series designed to combine my walking around the neighborhood with talking about marketing, and you can see it here: Charlie Seymour Jr's WalkAbout Marketing - Click Here!

Soon I'll get an echo cardiogram and a stress test... it's been years since I had either and though I really don't think they'll find anything, it will put my mind at ease.

I think the pounding one night was from the cappuccino and all that caffeine. I think the tightening in my chest is from limited exercise, and my walking twice a week is helping.

But since the first symptom of heart problems for most people is DEATH (yep, you read that right - most people don't get a second chance with this), I wanted to be sure to do the right thing for myself and my family.

So, I'll be a good patient and do what the doctor says.

After all, I go to marketing specialists when I need help, I suggest that to you as well, so I need to pay attention to the specialist I'm going to when he tells me what to do.

No matter if we're stuck in the rat race working for someone else or enjoying the freedom of working for ourselves, we do need to take care of our bodies.

Hope you will too!

Why do Some People Have More Credibility And Infulence Than Others?

Building Credibility Is Paramount Before Getting New Business

Credibility stems from that elusive thing called perception.

People’s perception of you may be based on what they hear others say about you, the way you talk and act, or their previous experience with you.

Credibility is based on a track record - either real or perceived.

Those who are most credible over the long haul -

- tell the truth
- do what they say they will and when they say they will
- behave consistency - their actions match their words
- show concern and compassion for others
- demonstrate knowledge and skill in their field
- exercise good judgment and make good decisions for all concerned
- stand strong on their values (while not rubbing them in others faces)
- motivate others to be and do the best they can

Cheering on others as they strive toward their goals can be really important too.

Think about it: how do YOU feel when someone is "in your corner" helping you, motivating you, cheering you on for your successes?

Pretty important to do!

Twitter For Business

Twitter is a great part of the marketing system for business

Too many people don’t understand how to use Twitter for business, but that hasn’t stopped them from blogging about it. Most of them just want to play or know they are on the internet, but when it comes to business, there are some specific steps you should take to take you from the rat race and get you zooming with success.

Twitter, the micro-blog that lets you send 140 characters across the Internet and around the world to anyone who has followed you (and then be resent (ReTweeted) by others), is a highly-targeted tool for marketers (and not just online marketers) – and it works well with other social media marketing tools like Facebook, bookmarking, and blogging.

For those of us old enough to remember party-line telephones, it’s like listening in on the conversations of your neighbors and then adding to their chat only when you have something that applies to them. No need to send messages about photography to people interested in politics or television. So in THIS way, Twitter lets you laser-target your messages and get those who are interested in what you have to say to respond.

For me (and I admit there are other ways to approach this though this is the best I have seen), I have 10 Twitter accounts, each based around specific keywords. For some of my accounts I’m building a list of followers who are interested in businesses I already have operating - I'm building the list to sell get them interested in my websites and the products I have. For others, I’m building lists around topics that interest me and will figure out later how I will monetize them.

After all, having a LIST of interested prospects is the most important part of marketing and running our businesses. That's forgotten by many people, but it is.

So, with that as prologue, my top 37 steps that you should take immediately to use Twitter for your business are detailed on my blog. Twitter: Read My Blog Here!

Also, if this short movie can help, let us know. And if there is something we can do to assist you when you're working from home, let us know that too.
