Your Reward - Sales and Marketing Training

Article Overview: Summer is your reward for your super human effort. Make this summer the beginning of the best 25 years of your life.

Your Reward - Sales and Marketing Training

"Beach sand, perfect tans. Day walks, night talks. Sleepless nights, pillow fights, and spending every day with those who matter most." - Unknown

You work hard. Real hard. Up early checking emails, mid-day customer emergencies, kid's game starts at 6:30 and you still need to get that proposal done before morning. Nearly everything you do is designed to make other people's lives better. Good news is, summer is your reward for your super human effort...but only if you take advantage of it.

Don't forget that your life won't be judged by the number of sales you make or by the size of your gross profit dollars. It will instead be judged by the resume of memories that you create. So this week, take 30 minutes in your office to think only of activities that, if you did them, would make this your most mentally productive summer ever. As Mark Twain said, "25 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the things you did do." Make this summer the beginning of the best 25 years of your life.

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?
