Inspiring Local Success - April 2011
Take your business from good to GREAT by fueling your business with
“renewable energy.” Renewable Energy is considered to: be energy generated from
natural resources; or energy that is replenished at the same rate it is used;
energy coming from sources that can be replenished; or even energy produced
from inexhaustible sources.
Since our business is fueled primarily by people, a natural resource, we
need to be replenished. If you have children in your life, think about them as
a great example of inexhaustible energy! They never seem to stop running,
laughing, playing; they are excited to learn something new, try something out,
and jump up and down. That is the type of energy we want to harness from these
sources!
Tap into these 5 Sources of Renewable Energy to Fuel Your Business Success
1. You/Business Partners
Envision your business success and remember why you are doing what you’re
doing. Take time to refuel yourself personally too. Do things you love, don’t
get so bogged down with work concerns that you become unhappy and frustrated – you
need to create energy will fuel your business.
2. Employees – tap into their personal strengths and encourage them to
refuel themselves too. Get them to see your vision for the company, demonstrate
your passion for success and for giving the best quality of service and product
for your customers. If they believe in what they are doing from 9-5, they will
perform at a higher level.
3. Customers
Happy customers are the most untapped, yet nearly inexhaustible source of renewable
energy: Referrals – Repeat Business – Testimonials. Learn how to ask and learn
how to listen when it’s offered. It’s cost effective and produces amazing
results!
4. Prospects/Future Customers
Get them to interact with you. There are many new media options to help you
do this today – online interactive websites, social media, text message
marketing, and more. Tap into that new customer energy!
5. Networking
As you meet people, help them fuel their business by offering referrals,
professional introductions, joint ventures, or cross-promotions. They will be
excited and jumping up and down to hail your business expertise! Tap into this
business world “playtime” to reenergize.
Fuel your business with these renewable energy sources and watch your
business grow from good to GREAT!

- Hi Martin,
The sidebar should show the April data. At the top is a rotating image with Vista on it now instead of office and it says April 2007. The current leaders also should show the April top posters - at the time of this posting you are currently in first place with 14 posts. Are you not seeing this?
I could use some help with my Marketing Plan Objective
- Hi guys,
Well I'm off to the UK be back to work on April 10th. In the meantime, I could use some help.
My Marketing Plan Objective is definitely not SMART. It doesn't have anything specific, or measurable, it is achievable, it is realistic and it is timed. You're help will be appreciated.
Hope to tallk to you in April and see you in May.

Chain store hurdles
- [quote:3v8nzz4s]Everyone I'm targeting are independent stores which helps me overcome one hurdle. [/quote:3v8nzz4s]
What hurdle is that?
I know the major stores like B&N, etc. like to deal with buyers and distributors, but I think they all cut some slack to "Local" authors, don't they? Every store I go into has its "Local Section," featuring local authors, as well as books about the locality.
I wouldn't bypass them altogether. If you drive past one, why not go in and visit, talk to the manager, see what they say?
[quote:3v8nzz4s]Bookstores want to order through Bowkers and I have their info and the ISBN (identification) numbers for my books. [/quote:3v8nzz4s]
You mean the major chain ones do, right? Independent stores I think have no problem dealing directly with the publisher/author. But you want to get your money up front if possible in case they go out of business....as too many independents do these days.
