Less is more
You could use the same growth strategy you used in the past… but for many the past was not great.
The Rules of Business have changed. It?s time to recognize that the current economy has created a whole new set of obstacles. What should you do to make the rest of this year better?
Customers Expect Free. Give your customers ideas for free to make them hungry to buy from you. Do not give away what you sell but add value to what you have sold.
Your Customers Are In Control, Not You. Have a way to get customer feedback so you can find out what they really want from you. You don?t want to be the last to know what your customer wants. You must learn what they want not what you want.
Personal Marketing Beats Mass Marketing. People do business with people not companies. Customers buy from people they trust. You are selling yourself.
Historical Selling Methods Are Dead Are you informative or persuasive? No one likes to be sold but everyone likes to buy.
Small Adjustments Result In Big Profits It?s not about attracting new clients. It?s about more products and services. The money is in the back-end sale. It is easier to sell to someone who has already bought from you in the past. Bundle.
Joint Ventures Make You Rich Joint ventures offer a much faster way to grow as well as making it much easier. It?s time for local joint ventures to package value to your clients?and theirs. The advantages of a JV are speed, access, sharing of resources, and leveraging of perishable inventories.
The Less You Do, The More You?ll Make Delegate more to achieve more.

Get What You Want-If Not-Go Back To #1 It?s like navigating down a once smooth river that?s now full of jagged boulders that are threatening to sink your business.
