Your Greatest Business Challenge

Everyone faces challenges in their business, everyday. Sales, staff, time, planning, management, accounting, growth, marketing, strategic direction; the list can go on and on.

Of all the challenges small business people face, however, the one that rests at the core of most problems is consistency.

The power of consistency is generally overlooked.

. . . If you contact and follow up with clients faithfully, they will reward you with more business.

. . . If you reach out to 10 new prospects every business day, your sales pipeline will never go dry.

. . . If you send out 50 post cards per week to a list of people who mirror your best existing clients, you’ll find new prospects who are interested in your products or services every month.

Consistency leads to success because it is predictable. Action A leads to result B, which gives you a desired result.

The problem is, staying consistent can be difficult. The main reason can be summed up in one word -- distractions. Handle distractions by developing and then following a plan.

Reacting to the events of the day will lead to greater problems.

You don’t follow up with clients faithfully; so you wonder why people only do business with you once or twice; never for the long haul.

You have no plan in place to make new sales contacts. You hope that you’ll meet someone at networking or through referrals alone. You wonder why it’s so hard to
keep your sales pipeline full of qualified people.

You think mailing is a waste of time, so you don’t do it.

You do not understand that it is:

  • The content of the collateral sent. Not worded to sell, worded to tell.
     

  • The people that the mailing was sent to was not comprised of people who
    looked like your best clients. 

Properly executed direct mail is a Trillion Dollar business. it's proven to work, but only when done consistently and correctly.

What can you do now to reverse the trend of inconsistency?

1. Get a plan together and follow it every day. Make sure it realistically reflects your available time and business goals. Simple.olgy is a big help in learning how to take a straight line approach to reach your true desires.

2. Do one small thing every day to grow your business and revenues. 90 Minute Time Manager shows you how to break overwhelming tasks into small, easy-to-manage steps.

3. Take sales seriously. The most successful companies agree that a direct sales effort is the # 1 way to generate more revenue. When you develop a winning sales process you’ll know what to do every day to grow your business.

Try the ideas mentioned this week and see what you think. You have consistency and greater revenues to gain. And stress, fear, doubt and worry to lose.


A Note From Mark Joyner AND My Personal View of The Simple Science of Getting What you Want

Dear Bill,

People have been asking "what makes the Simpleology print book
different from the Simpleology (the simple science of getting what you want) multimedia courses?"

Well, people who have seen advance copies say it's "more like a
movie than a book."

And it covers some provocative and shocking (but downright
essential) material that you should have been taught in grade
school, but weren't.

What do I mean by that?

Crank up your speakers and watch the "trailer" to get a little
taste:

(Note: if you have a heart condition, we don't recommend watching
the trailer.  We're not kidding.)

All the best,

Mark

Mark Joyner
Founder of Simpleology

PS - I am now reading the book. Let me sum it up very simply.

This book is one of only two that I am calling essential reading for everyone alive today (I'll tell you about the other one another time).

Don't think about it, don't hesitate, just go to http://billgluth.simpleology.com and buy the book. Read it and change your outlook on life.

It IS that powerful.
