(VIDEO) Are You Afraid of Being a Pushy Salesperson?

I’ve learned the hard way (translation = lost sales) that when I don’t follow up quickly and repeatedly I don’t get the business. And it’s likely that my competition gets the sale simply because they did a better job connecting with the prospect. But does following up mean you have to be a pushy salesperson?

Watch this week’s Questions Savvy Business Owners Ask Me About Networking to see what Shaffali Miglani, my friend and successful business owner, has to say about this topic.

(VIDEO) Do you do you?

A fascinating aspect of being a coach is noticing when patterns arise in what my clients are dealing with on their journeys. One that keeps surfacing is the idea of self-care. Or, more accurately, the lack of it because taking care of others is the “right thing” to do. While that is indeed a noble concept it comes at a great price to your own quality of life and effectiveness in business. Have you noticed that the people, places and things that used to matter to you have been put on a shelf because you are too busy pleasing other people?

Case in point, I recently attended an emergency preparedness training. The Army Sergeant who led the course repeatedly stressed that in a disaster you must take care of yourself first so you can then tend to others who need your help around you. And in every day life, if you don’t make sure your body, mind and soul are nourished then you can’t effectively be of service to the clients that pay you and the family, friends and community that rely on you. When you don’t practice self-care you are creating the conditions for your own personal disaster.

(VIDEO) Can tragedy build and strengthen connections?

Recently I attended a memorial service at the famed Studio 54 with my comrade in miracles and fellow business owner Damon Jacobs. We joined many others to pay tribute to a talented young man whose life ended far too early. When tragedy brings people together is that an opportunity to build and strengthen connections? Watch this week’s Questions Savvy Business Owners Ask Me About Networking to see what Damon and I have to say about this delicate subject.
