Too many meetings? Not enough time?

Posted by Dianne Walker on April 14, 2010 at 9:21pm

I've always wondered how anyone got any work done when they spend their days in meetings. I average about 5-10 sometimes even 15 meetings per week. I had to put a stop to it and tame the meeting beast. Read all about it here:

Are You Asking for the Business?

Posted by Trina Newby on December 2, 2008 at 12:22pm

Meeting one-on-one with prospective clients can be an effective marketing tool, but you must do one important thing; don’t forget to ask for the business! The purpose of an in-person meeting is to establish trust, relationship and sincerity in a personal manner.As businesswomen we often enjoy the social aspect of talking with others so much that we often forget why we are meeting. To remedy this challenge, below are six ways to stay on track and get the business you deserve!1. Clarify why you’re meeting. When scheduling an appointment, make sure that the prospective client you are requesting a meeting with knows exactly why. It’s important that they don’t think they are coming to a social meeting.2. Know your prospect’s needs. If you don’t know the services or products your prospect needs, it’s important not to schedule a one-on-one meeting until you do. This should be done during the follow up call after you’ve provided information about your services/products.3. Prepare a short agenda. It’s important to maintain your focus with the help of a list of no more than 3 points you would like to share during your meeting. Writing your agenda on an index card or small notebook really can keep you on track.4. Don’t do all of the talking. Allow your prospect the opportunity to share information about their business and to ask questions they might have about your products or services.5. Ask the right questions. “How can I help you?”, “What can I do to gain your business?”, “How soon are you seeking to purchase this (name of your product)?”, “When would you like to get (name of your service) started?” Don’t allow fear to hold you back from asking for the business!.6. Save some time for socializing. Some communications experts say be polite and socialize first and ease into the sales part of your meeting. However, it can be awkward to socialize and then out of the blue break into the sales portion. By socializing last you both of you get a chance to relax and get acquainted with one another more and end the meeting in a comfortable and meaningful manner.Implement the above suggestions, ask for the business and see the difference in your one-on-one meetings!Trina NewbyWomen About Biz"If You're A Businesswoman, You Belong!"

They’re not going anywhere!So, I’m doing my thing and trying to figure out some very economical promotions for a young man who is going into business for himself. After a typical interview, I thought about his love of roller coaster and amusement parks. In the interview, he told me that he and his buddies visit atleast 8 amusement parks a year and this is the time when he feels most creative.So what did I do? Visit the blog entitled: RollerCoasters for the rest of this story.Forever promoting,Karma Middletonwww.Great-Promo.Com...Creating brain tattoos that last generations!
