  • Choose reliable

    ‘I cannot be with you this week – can we rearrange something?’ It’s little wonder some never achieve, they’re ok when it’s a sit down for coffee or cake, but when it comes to following up in business? Trouble is, this kind of postponement has exactly the same effect on our own business. Postponement ……

  • Compass due north?

    It can be tough at the top … just ask any owner/manager. During the busy times there are simply not enough hours in the day, we’re pretty much stretched just coping, ‘making hay’ when we’re busy and when those quieter times arrive? We take the opportunity to ‘kick back’ don’t we? We embrace the ‘down…

  • Meaningful emotional links ,,,

    Is the lack of the emotional connection hindering your chances for successful business growth? The ‘getting to know you’ can be tedious for some. Especially in today’s crowded business environment. “Deadlines don’t allow for emotional tedium … do they?” Take social media, most of us have experience of the ‘add,’ ‘like,’ the ‘share’ or the…

  • Leap year – pop the question

    It is well documented that our business population spends a whole lot more time online than predecessors. We know this already. ‘That’s a no-brainer! Tell us another one.’ I hear you say. Many of us understand that the personal connection is vital, that’s why were driven to add/like/share and participate. Essentially though, the real business…

  • Faith beats the monkey!

    Teri disappeared into the night toward her car and as I closed the door behind her I realised that the business I’m in is set up around a really simple idea… so simple I thought. I’m in business to help others become more successful. When these people become more successful as a result of something…

  • Sales not selly sales

    It wasn’t so long ago I was supporting a small manufacturing company with a team of sales people, offering my own direction and advise in the wiles of what some have called ‘the black art sales through sustained relationships.’ We’d have Monday morning sales meetings to determine business forecasts, the order input and we’d generally…
