Think about the intention or the end result of your prospecting efforts. It's probably not what you think. Rather than focusing all of your energy on making the sale, first determine if there's a good fit between you, your prospect, and what you are selling. Instead of feeling that the intention of prospecting is to get a sale, provide a ...
"You’ve either got to get over it, and learn how to build meaningful relationships, or you’ll have to make absolutely sure you’re in the top 10% of your occupational field and that your talent speaks for itself-since if you’re not networking actively, nobody else is going to be speaking for you!"

Sitting at Dreamforce, Day 2 - the big Salesforce event I wrote about yesterday I'm pondering what applications and tools in particular are most helpful for companies denoted as small business. Traditionally the ...
Alas, many Sales Directors, having concluded that their best strategy is to cut back on training, look instead to hire people who already possess all the talent and skills needed to do the job and send them out into the field armed with what they know. But many Sales Directors know how difficult it is to find skilled salespeople. And ...
www.hrcrossing.com is a good source of jobs because it only shows you jobs from employer websites and every other job board out there. This site has more jobs than any other website. This is a good way to track down jobs because these jobs are often not advertised.
Lori, I agree completely. One of my biggest irritations is people who don't reply to emails. It takes about 5 seconds to type, "Checking... (on your request) Will respond by Friday."
Don't forget to use the Flags feature in your email client. But you must remember to review those flags on a daily basis. I do it each morning.
Also, I practice "Inbox zero." My philosophy is that my inbox is a runway, not a parking lot. By the end of the day, emails are filed in folders or deleted.
Finally, I've set up rules so that newsletters go straight into folders, not my inbox. They're less of a distraction then. This rule frees me up to focus on more important tasks--like reply to emails.

Book Review: Dirty Little Secrets by Sharon Drew Morgen
Excellent article. One of the key things that I want to add, is that those people that do come from a validated source, I don't think this article applies to. It is only for the scammers, like mentioned that come from those that have written testimonials with only their initials attached, where there is no validation nor reputation to follow. Note there is a key distinction between the two.
Furthermore, leaders of the industry that give you advice i.e. in sales, could very well give you tools to live by, but remember, what works for one person, may not work for someone else, thus the best thing to do is find common threads between numerous credible sources. Odds are if you do this, your chances are very strong that those pronciples work for you.- MJ Gottlieb www.thelemonaideguide.com.
