Member You - Is Your Networking Not Working
Most probably you have heard of several success stories in franchising. Perhaps you have given it a lot of though and are thinking of wading into the business just to test the waters. Before you do, here are some other questions you might like to chew on just to determine if franchising is indeed for you.Have you manage to limit you choices of a franchise to a specific product or service? You must have at least the basic knowledg
And the kicker was, she asked for my business card, but I NEVER heard from her after the event!
So what just happened?
I'll tell you. She spent her valuable time and money
Do you have customers or do you have clients? Someone asked me yesterday to explain the difference. He claimed that it was just semantics and that basically customers were clients and vice versa. I was surprised that he felt that way, because there is a distinctively important difference between the two.So exactly what is the difference between a customer and a client? Let's look at a couple of examples of each, and you will und
She proceeded to tell me all about herself and her business, not once stopping to take a breath or give me, or the other person I had been talking to the chance to say a word.
When she finished, she handed me her business card and said, “It was nice meeting you," and walked away.
I felt like I had just watched a very bad 60-second commercial for her business. And boy was I NOT interested.
The sad thing was, she was a massage therapist, and I was an ideal client for her - I get a massage once a month and have for years. Too bad she didn't take the time to find that out. Definitely a missed opportunity for at least a more interesting conversation, and potentially a new client.

When coming up with killer sales copy that sucks in orders faster than a overcharged vacuum cleaner you must follow the AIDA principle.Attention...At the top of the sales letter you must get the readers attention. You've only got about 3 seconds so it must be good. The main purpose of a headline is to sell the reader to continue reading further. The other purpose is to grab the prospect's attention quickly. The headline s

The phone card business is not what is was a few years ago. Every new telecommunications product that comes along, has a product life cycle of about four years at which time something new and better comes along, and so begins a downward trend. There are still millions of phone cards being purchased every day at this country in convenience stores, gas stations, online websites, news stands, and at various ethnic restaurants, ethnic groce

The History Of The Employee Time Clock And Point of SaleThe concept of punching a time clock has been around since the industrial revolution of the early 1900's. However, it was not until the invention of the electronic cash register in the early 1980's that employees could clock in/out on the cash register. This eliminated the need for a punch card and greatly increased accuracy and reduced manpower needs in calcul

And the kicker was, she asked for my business card, but I NEVER heard from her after the event!
So what just happened?
I'll tell you. She spent her valuable time and money to attend this event. And, she did everything she thought she was supposed to do.
She went around meeting lots of people.
She told those people all about herself and her business.
She handed out lots of business cards.
She collected lots of business cards.
And then she went home, and expected her business to grow as a result.
Wrong!
If you network this way, you may as well save your time and money. Because you're probably not going to see results.
I believe you must approach networking the same way you approach any other form of marketing ...
You must use the Sharp-Shooter Approach
Select networking events that are a good match for you and your business. Events with attendees who are either your ideal clients, people likely to refer your ideal clients, or like-minded business people you could partner with.
