YOU are the Blessing - Sales and Marketing Training

“Reflect upon your blessings, of which every man has plenty, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”

-Charles Dickens

The Christmas weekend is here and I am gearing up for my annual life lesson from actor Jimmy Stewart in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” In the movie, George Bailey (aka Jimmy Stewart) spends his entire life doing selfless things for others. From saving his younger brother from drowning, to giving away all his cash to save the family business, George created a blessed life for many…including himself. But George, like all of us, ran into some trouble that made him doubt all the good decisions he made in his life. He let the bad overshadow the good. In the movie, he had the chance to see what life would be like without him, and it was that “viewing” that made him realize how special he was.

Take a minute right now and close your eyes and think of three amazing things you did in ’11. Then think of how many people you touched while doing those things. Then think of how many people they touched. Once you fully understand the power you have to change the world you can then understand how much positive impact you have on your company, sales territory, customers and everybody you meet. You, my friend, are a blessing.

On behalf of the Sullivan kids (and Mom and Dad), we want to thank you for tuning in each week for the PRECISE Selling weekly tips. God bless you and your family this Holiday Season!

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional - Hi Evan, I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing

niche forum categories - I think Kevin just touched on the point that I was going make... and that is developing 'categories' that stick. Sales and Marketing may be too broad for example. However I can almost guarantee you that you would see many more sign-ups if you tailored a category to 'internet marketing' for newbies. I've seen this work on other forums, however, [i:1i903wkn]it can get a little frantic[/i:1i903wkn]... Fine tuning the categories, or expanding the scope should be effective. I think a lot of IM folks are surfing right on by because they're not finding what they're looking for here... Just a few thoughts: Better Blogging Developing Info Products Internet Marketing Presentation Skills More How to's Another point is... a lot of people don't know that they can benefit from participating in forums. The signature links to their site - if they have one - can / should be motivation enough to get more involved. The more internet savvy members that have signatures seem to stick around more... Don't you think?
