Build Your Business with The 5 A’s Method

Build Your Business with The 5 A’s Method

Arousal
  • How are you exciting your audience? What methods do you use?
  • Assumptions—What are the basic ones people make about you and your offering?
  • How do you create a desire and urgency when people don’t even know they need you!
  • How do you know you’ve succeeded in enticing a prospect?
  • How much fun do you have getting the above done?
Authenticity
  • What you do is driven by who you are!
  • Why are you in business? 
  • How high is The Friendship Factor—trust, love and money—in your company? There is a direct correlation to customer loyalty.
  • What are your attitudes about the Universe? Friend or foe?
  • Non-competitive—Are you constantly viewing some else’s behind? Remember that sled dog joke.
  • Your personal focus-what do you get from this business?
Acknowledgment
  • Have you caught TQ-itis yet? It is contagious.
  • When was the last time you gave positive credit to some else?
  • What was your last act of appreciation to your clients, family, or friends?
  • How responsive are you with industry pertinent data/congratulations to other you read about?
Accessibility
  • Create a clear message of how you can serve people.
  • Teach others how to find you & how to do business with you.
  • Use your existing tools you have more effectively:
  • Do you have a rude Voice Mail? Be welcoming, check your tone of voice, spotlight an upcoming event. Callers don’t care that you’re taking care of others or washing your car. You’re not available for them so make it up to the caller with when they can expect a response from you.
  • When you answer a call, how prepared are you to respond to caller without putting them on hold?
  • Is it indicated in your collateral?
  • How about your electronics—email signature, newsletters or blog, for example.
  • How adaptable are you to others’ schedules and timing?
Achievement
  • How do you share the possibilities for success? Achievement? Results?
  • Who are you mentoring, role modeling? If not, find someone. We learn more when we teach.
  • When was the last time you tuned up your own aspirations?
  • Are you promoting others as a Master Storyteller? Talking about others rather than yourself?

I've created this section on my site to share some of the incredible tools that I've used to build my business. I hope you too can benefit from them and look forward to hearing your feedback on the reviews! - Visit Evan Carmichael's Website

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are 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
