Find a Need and Fill It
Find a Need and Fill It
The really big money is never made by ripping people off or over-charging! That may lead to one, or even a handful of profitable transactions, but it eventually costs you customers, costs your reputation, and just plain costs you too much!
The BIG money comes from finding a way to SERVE people. Over and over again, the success stories were about helping someone keep their home, or helping a business find a more suitable location. The success stories that made REAL money
came from helping someone solve a problem!
In the end, business is always about serving a customer or client. Successful restaurants serve the best meals. Successful architects listen to their clients and create buildings that serve the spirit as well as the budget. Successful coaches help clients create masterful lives, not just make money or win contests.
I believe it was Zig Ziglar who noted that "you can have anything you want in life if you find a way to help enough other people get what they want." In the long run, achievement, wealth, fame and fortune all come from serving people.
Who are your best customers and what (exactly) do they really need? How can you serve them better, faster, or cheaper than anyone else?
If you want to increase sales and grow your bottom line, find something your audience wants and serve them better than anyone else in town. The key to success? It's simple: Find a need and fill it.

Recently, I attended a class on real estate investing and while the focus was on the nuts-and-bolts on making money in real estate, what struck me was that almost all the "success stories" had to do with creating win-win situations.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
