Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Before we look at the areas where a specialist business development consultancy can be used, letâs agree a definition of the term âbusiness developmentâ.

In some sectors, typically professional services and management consultancy, business development should be more accurately called âsellingâ.

Gold & Red Cards Will Make You A Ton Of Money

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Years ago I was embarrassed in front of a customer because I did not remember his wife's name. I should have remembered her name because they together had purchased electronics, furniture, appliances and tires from me for over 12 years.

Determining a Fit in Cold Calling

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100

One of the biggest challenges in cold calling I have to say is finding the truth in the prospects. It is hard for many of the prospects to open up to a stranger on the other end of the phone and without that trust quite often you are not getting the truth from them but hearing what they think you want them to say. This leads to chasing the prospect later in the sales process.

Cold calling should be about determining whether or not your product is a fit and often we get side track w... (Read All)

Tue, 09 May 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Owning an online or offline business means you have a product or service that you want to sell. If selling was easy, we'd all be rich! The thing about salespeople is that many of them are selling something they know little about, or something they don't even like or care about, just to make a quick buck.

Treat Your Sales People Like Customers!

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100
