Plant relationship seeds well to harvest desired results

Collaboration is the one word that will transform your career or business.  Helping others produces a reciprocity otherwise not found.  Together you reach wider audiences, potential clients or hiring managers that enables greater than ever possibilities.

I met Valeri Bocage, Founder and CEO of Powerful Women International a number of years ago.  We were both beginning in our ventures.  It was a road of uncertainty but we felt compelled to follow the windy paths that motivated us to find what lie before us.  Every once in a while we would get together to compare notes and offer possible referrals.

We have each met wonderful people through one another.  Friendships and clients blossomed as did our enterprises.  Remaining connected and promoting one another's events as well as actively participating increased our possibilities further.  

On March 8, this year, in celebration of International Women's Day, at the San Francisco Mark Hopkins InterContinental Hotel, we will join forces to inspire and motivate other wonderful women with personal stories, educational breakout sessions, and networking.  .  And it is with pride that I announce, I will be one of the honorees on that day.  I do hope you will join Valeri and I in our celebration!

Our goal is for all women to achieve their dreams.  The motivation and inspiration you receive will put you on the wave of the Smooth Sale!

Bottom-line your efforts for improved results

Bunch of World Coins
 

Bottom lining your activities applies both to accepting work and building your business.  

In terms of the job hunt, consider the commute expense, possible new wardrobe required, salary offered and the reward of the job.  Will it be worthwhile?  

Your business requires a serious reconsideration of all the areas in which you invested time and money.  Are they all paying off or do some need to be eliminated?

Bottom lining your activities may include reading your credit card statements to see which services are being paid monthly but produce nothing or are not actually being used.  Are you participating in activities that require monetary and time investment but offer little in return?  

Another factor to keep in mind is to have multiple streams of income so that when in a varied economy, while one strream may not be working well, the others may.  For instance some coaches only have their hourly fee for coaching in place.  They would be wise to transfer their knowledge into some type of book, training or speaking event.

Be swift to cut venues that do not work well and maximize the ones that do.  Create additional services or products from the ones that produce the best.   When you take the time to seriously consider your plan, whether for business or career, you will be more assured of enjoying the Smooth Sale!

The Art of Giving and Receiving

Do you accept help?

Growing up I used to constantly hear about “takers” who had no knowledge of giving back.  Interestingly, today I’m meeting more people who give and are reluctant to receive.

Either of these scenarios do not work well in business because someone is always short-changed.  Once again you have to keep “win-win” in mind. In the past, I have traded coaching services with others because we needed insight on each other’s area of expertise.  Today I sometimes need a trusted friend to provide feedback for an intended project.  If you are uncertain how you can help someone, the best route is to ask.

Both of you may not need help at the same time but your agreement should be, “When the time comes you can count on me.”  Having a bank of people whom you can call on any given minute will do wonders for your morale and business.  Apply this same concept to changing jobs or finding a new career to more quickly hear, HIRED! 

Your marketing communication skills affect your clientele, finding the right job and increased sales.  More information on how to implement business growth ideas may be found in my book, Nice Girls DO Get the Sale.  

As you implement correctly, you are headed for a very Smooth Sale!
