    The Sales Training Series: Ask For A Commitment Every Time
    Salespeople are called upon to perform many duties, from customer training to market analysis. But we must never forget the primary value we bring to our organizations, the real reason we remain on the payroll: We are excellent at gaining commitment from paying customers. Or, at least, we're supposed to be.Why don't customers commit? Because salespeople don't ask them to!Yet incredibly, four out of six sales calls end without the salesperson asking the client to commit to any action

    5 Reasons NOT To Have a Marketing Plan
    Imagine your perfect customers -- the ones that will eagerly buy your products or hire you for premium pay. Imagine being able to bring those perfect customers to you and having them buy your products or services not once, but again and again. That's what an effectively executed marketing plan does. It reaches the people who want what you are offering, convinces them to take action, and keeps them coming back.Sounds nice, right? So why doesn't every business have a marketing plan? Let's take
    SEMPO recently published a study which shows that a only 11% of all search engine marketing advertising is spent on search engine optimization, with the vast majority, a full 83%, is spent on pay-per-click advertising.

    While pay-per click (PPC) advertising has enormous benefits, I'm a bit surprised by how much advertising dollars consumed on PPC when search engine optimization (SEO) can produce a significantly higher return on investment for the same marketing dollars. In fact, considering the number of phone calls my company routinely gets from people looking for optimization because they are spending "too much" on their PPC campaigns, I think that many businesses understand that SEO is more cost effective.

    Buy-In: What Is It? And Why Is It Important?
    Until now, we've all recognized that buy-In is necessary when implementing change. And yet we seem to have difficulty achieving it: we've assumed that if we offer people the right reasons to change, offer proven evidence of the change's efficacy, persuade people that buy-in would be in their best interests and reward them sufficiently, and give them the appropriate skills, buy-in could be handled with some modicum of reliability and ease.But none of that is true.

    Network Your Way To Good Clients
    There simply is no point in using business networking to build your business unless it wins you good clients.I have been to some of these networking breakfasts. I met some really pleasant people there, but I never met a single person who introduced me to anyone who ran, or knew someone in a position of influence in, the sort of business that I believed would make a good client.And that’s the next important point – you need to be clear about the type of organization you want as your cli

    I know I have previously said that SEO is Dead, which some have taken out of context. Yeah, that headline is meant to grab attention, but the point of that post was that SEO-only providers need to adapt their optimization strategies into more marketing oriented SEO services such as usability, conversion tracking, etc., in order to continue to be effective at SEO.
