Attract the Right Job or Clientele: Sales Tip #635

Reward Comes in Many Forms

Financial Planning
 

Community service, in the form of teaching groups of job seekers how to use sales techniques on interviews to land their desired job, has always been a part of my business plan.  Yesterday, I once again provided an hour presentation in San Francisco.  

Peers have asked, "How is driving to the City, plus paying for the bridge toll and parking possibly worthwhile for you to do all of this?"  

Any small part I may play in helping someone land a decent job is reward in itself.  Yesterday, the appreciation expressed afterward by all was proof I was doing the right thing.  Several people offered to introduce me to other organizations that could use similar assistance.  These are high level contacts to whom I would not otherwise have access.  

However, not completely without marketing savvy, I have professionally printed postcards of each book as well as one featuring all of my contact information, products and services.  I asked if they knew of anyone else out of work to please let them know about my book, HIRED! How to Use Sales Techniques to Sell Yourself On Interviews.  They whole heartedly agreed to doing so.  The book itself isn't a get rich quick venue but it does lead to people getting hired ~ readers write the information led to their new job. The effort also leads to other events.  

When we all pitch in to help others as frequently as possible, we make our communities a better place to live.  On the revenue side, by helping others, you may gain insight as to what else is needed in terms of new products and services.  Community service is a win for all.

Attract the Right Job or Clientele: Sales Tip #586

Reconnect with your entrepreneurial spirit!

Have you ever told yourself, "I'll just wait until…"?  It's safe to say most of us probably have been guilty of "waiting the course."   However, when we wait, it's safe to say pretty much nothing happens.  And the longer we wait, the longer nothing takes place until one begins to think about giving up.  (If you are out of work see the P.S.).

My own saying is, "When you give up, you will never know what was just around the corner."  

Job hunting in a down economy can be very frustrating to say the least, and finding new clients for the usual services may make you wish you were on an island somewhere.  But when you pick up the phone to call a new acquaintance who complements what you have to offer, new ideas may come about that will uplift and motivate you to begin anew.

Do you have a pile of business cards, contacts in a database, or past associates you "meant to call"?  Now is the time to reconnect or newly connect with everyone you can think of should your motivation be lacking.  When you find that special conversation, it is amazing how the adrenaline picks up and you become ready to implement new ideas, approach additional hiring companies or hold invigorating future meetings with prospects and clients.

Whatever you can do to pick up your spirit should be of utmost importance now.  Traditionally, last quarter of the year is when most business is conducted.  Companies need to spend their remaining budgets for the year.  Taking action now offers the potential of leading you to a Smooth Sale!
