Office Cleanup Benefits Many

My desk is notorious for frequently appearing as a mess.  Upon cleaning up and seeing notes scribbled to myself, I’m able to determine if anything was overlooked due to the disarray; if so I get on it immediately.  The monthly practice of organizing also reaffirms and promotes follow-up of all types.

The cleanup was expanded to bookshelves and then closets.  Old clothing plus household goods are being given to charitable organizaitons, while business books are being donated to the Chamber of Commerce.  On the creative side, I called to ask if the Chamber could use the books for raffles or giveaways at events.  The answer was Yes!

Just as with any sale or job hunt, consider first all of the possible reasons why the other party needs your services or products.  Understanding the need first, andthen  how to position it to be seen in the most favorable light, will help you further your career or increase sales.  When it comes to making donations, the less commonly thought of venues will be highly appreciative of your thought.

By being creative in all of your endeavors, instead of competing with manhy others only to hear “no” and lose the sale, you will find an easy “yes”, and win the Smooth Sale!
