Keys To Using The Phone In Business Successfully

by Steve Mitchell

There will come a time when you will have to market (sell) something over the phone, no matter what business you are in.

Using the phone has long been a daunting experience for many people. But the telephone is a very powerful tool for your business and, used right, it can be a highly cost-effective and productive way of getting new business, and increasing your income!

* Key 1: Learn to get relax with using the phone by simply making calls:

I don’t necessarily support the many ideas some ‘gurus’ have that try to pamper to people’s anxieties over picking up the phone. I respect people naturally do get anxious about using the phone but in my experience the best way to overcome any nerves or apprehension is simply to get on the phone and start chatting to people!

The sooner you start talking with people, the sooner you will realize that the phone is not the monster you thought it would be.

Just start making calls. What’s the worst that can happen? Someone says ‘no’ to what you are offering them. Yep, hearing ‘no thanks’ is the worse that can happen!

With each call you make, you will find your nerves ebb away, and you will get stronger and more confident on the phone. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. The more you use the phone, the more confident you will get.

Maybe not the most profound solution but certainly one of the quickest to get you positive results, both by overcoming your nerves and for getting results that increase your business.

* Key 2: Always open your calls with a Time Qualifier:

There is nothing worse than when you are in the middle of something, your phone rings, you answer, and someone starts hosing you down with what they’re trying to market to you. Your attention is weak, your patience thin, and often your sense of humour for being interrupted has long left the room!

You certainly don’t want the same result when you call someone. So, the easiest way to avoid this is to qualify the time you’re calling by using a simple opening phrase along the lines of:

‘Hi John, ______ here. Have you got 10 minutes now?’ or ‘Hi John, ______ here. Is this a good time to run something past you for 10 minutes?’

When you do this, you extend respect that they might be in the middle of something and in doing, allow them to tell you its not really a good time. You also have prepped them with the fact that you only need 10 minutes of their time. And, if they say ‘it’s a bit difficult right now’, you haven’t wasted your time talking to someone whose attention is elsewhere.

* Key 3: Build in a Disclaimer:

When someone says ‘I’ve got something that is JUST RIGHT for you’, how do you personally feel? I bet you immediately think to yourself how do they know its right for me; I’ll be the judge of that; it probably isn’t right for me, and so on. Well that’s how the people you speak to on the phone will react when you try to market to them in a presumed way. So disarm them straight away with a simple change of phrase:

‘John, I’m not sure if what I want to share with you is for you or not, only you can decide but I did think that if it wasn’t for you, then you then may know someone who would be interested?’. By suggesting it may or may not be for them offers them what is known as a ‘disclaimer’. In doing this several positive things has happened: A) Firstly, by saying I’m not sure it’s for you has put the person you are talking to at ease because they then don’t think they’re on the spot to ‘buy’ whatever you are marketing or selling.

B) Secondly, it gets the person you’re talking to thinking quietly to them self ‘why isn’t it for me? It might be; I’ll be the judge to decide if its for me’. In other words it turns their mental posture from ‘I don’t want it’ to ‘I might want it’.

C) By saying ‘you might know someone who would be interested’ you are in effect using the ’3rd party approach’ (we’ll talk more about this in future issues of Marketing Pro Info). If the person you’re talking to then really isn’t interested, he can see a way out for himself by simply saying ‘it’s not for me but Bob might be interested’.

D) You potentially could pick up two customers – the person you called and a referral.

Hope you found these ideas useful. There are many other ‘keys’ to using the powerful tool of the telephone for effective marketing, which I will share with you in future articles.

Network Marketing Leads Vs. Warm Market

by David Lawrence

Have you ever felt reluctant when the first task requested to begin building your business is to “make a list?” Well you are not alone!

Sometimes this request is met with absolute horror and dread because you would rather have some success under your belt before you share it with people you are closest to.

However for others, this is a golden opportunity to introduce your closest high quality and influencial family and friends to the business or product.

There are many advantages to contacting your warm market versus calling opportunity leads. In most cases, your warm market already knows, likes and trusts you. And often times, you will have fun working with people you are already compatable with.

But what do you do if you have already hit up all your friends and family in you last deal that didn’t work out so well? What if, for whatever the reason, people who know you best will have trouble believing you are the one to help them make money when you havent had success yet?

Network marketing leads are a great solution for those that have reservations about contacting their warm market and thus are able to confidently start moving their business forward.

Another thing to consider is that a lead list is also a list of people that are someone else’s warm market. The main difference being that they have expressed an interest already in wanting to make money from home.

Calling network marketing leads is also a great way to tap into someone else’s warm market. Of course if the prospect you sign up is also in the NFL “No Friends Left,” you simply show them how to contact leads as well, and your business is off and duplicating.

Cisco Certification ” Training Considerations

by Dave Bern

There are a number of things that one needs to take into consideration when deciding to sign up for your Cisco Certification training either at a brick and mortar school or an online one. Because you will be investing time and money into this training you need to think things through very carefully indeed.

Below we provide a number of pointers that one must keep in mind when trying to decide whether doing a Cisco certification course is right for you or not. Plus keeping these in mind can help you to save some money on the cost of the training as well.

Tip 1 – The first thing you need to do is look at the way you would carry out your training. Those who are happy to study on their own then doing their training through an online course is highly recommended. However, if you are someone who needs constant reassurance or assistance then it is far better to participate in a classroom course.

Tip 2 – It is crucial that you look carefully into the schools background before you actually enroll on a course with them. If you can arrange a visit to the school so that you are able to check out the facilities which it has to offer its students. Also another thing to check out what accreditations if any it has and whether it has received the Board of Education’s approval for the State where you live.

Tip 3 – Checking out the tutors who will be providing your training is just as important as checking out the school and can be done at the same time. Look for tutors who have been training others to use this equipment for some time and preferably who have had hands on experience of it in a business environment. Any reputable computer training school will be more than willing to provide this information when asked for.

Tip 4 – A very important thing that one needs to do before enrolling in a course to obtain a Cisco Certification is to get a full breakdown of the training costs. This is even more crucial if the course being offered is a fully inclusive one, as you don’t want to find yourself in a position where you cannot complete your training because you cannot afford to pay for some additional costs that have arisen. Never go with the first school that you like to enroll on for your training but spend time comparing a few different ones.

Tip 5 – Another thing you need to be aware of before signing up to any Cisco certification course is what rate of their students actually pass their exams along with those that actually complete the training (as these can differ quite a bit). If they do have students who have problems either passing their exams or with the actual training itself what support does the school offer them.

By keeping the above in mind one will find it much easier to work out which of the various different schools now offering Cisco certification training is best for you. Remember you are going to be spending a considerable amount of time and money on this training so you want to be sure that you are getting the best possible.

by Jenny Willow

Going to college and enjoying the full experience of college is a great thing for young adults. However that takes a lot of money and time that not everyone has. Some people need to finish college fast and start making some decent money as quick as possible.

For example a person working a fulltime job to support their family would not likely being able to quit working in order to finish their degree. Or someone in the Navy or other military service who’s duty does not allow them to be close to a college. Although even if they were close to a college since they are in the military they would not be able to go to school fulltime most likely.

If one of the above is your situation or something else that stops you from going to college full time do not worry, you have other options. While it is true you may miss some or all of the campus based college experience, you will still be able to complete a degree program.

The first thing you may be thinking is online or distance education programs. Yes those can be great ways to get a college degree without being on campus and giving you flexibility to do so.

However if your real goal is to finish as quick as possible and save money there are other options to consider as well. You may or may not be aware that tests exist that you can complete which may eliminate the need to complete certain college classes.

One of these tests is called CLEP. This stands for College-Level Examination Program. This program can be used for both college admissions and some colleges let you earn up to 12 credit hours for each CLEP exam. Each college has different rules so you will want to check with the one you will earn your degree from first to make sure they accept CLEP exams for college credits.

A few CLEP exam examples include Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, College Algebra, College Mathematics, English Composition, and more.

As you can see it is possible to cut down the amount of time it will take you to finish a college degree. Using the CLEP exams and maybe an online college may help you to complete your degree as fast as possible.

Go Straight to the Top of Google with Offshore Article Writers

by Darron Skinner-Martin

The internet and sales is just a numbers game. The more numbers you have the more likelihood you will generate leads and sales. In order to get the numbers and traffic, we need to maximize our search engine results. If you were number 1 on Google for a particular keyword do you think you would get more traffic? By writing articles you are creating one way links back to your site which improves your search engine optimization (SEO). The more quality articles you write the better but this can take a considerable amount of time and effort to write and submit the articles.

In the world of the internet content is gold. It is essential your article provides the reader valuable information about your particular topic. You must provide original articles as this ranks significantly better with search engines. Although you are not permitted to directly promote your business there is always a section to discuss what you do and how you can assist the reader.

One of the biggest issues with writing articles is the amount of time it takes. Many people find article writing the most boring and horrible thing to have to do. If you are serious about search engine optimization then article writing is essential. The power of article writing is in the links they provide. Search engines love one way links that directly relate to the content of your website.

If you are new to search engine optimization then you will need to become familiar with search engine algorithms. These are just the different criteria and factors search engines like Google use to rank pages. With web 2.0 the development of the internet has seen a greater emphasis placed on individual people writing and reading articles and information about their personal interests. Article writing is especially valued by search engines because the internet is based around information. The internet is often described as ‘the information highway’. These principles have very much stayed the same; well at least in theory. Many would argue it is now about money.

Search engine optimization is critical for online businesses. Writing articles on a regular basis is perhaps the number one SEO strategy. If you are not prepared to put in the time or money to use article writers then your competitors will. Outsourcing article writers is one way to significantly boost the amount of articles and press releases written about your businesses products and services. The outsourced article writer can also submit the articles to online article directories. This in itself can take days and hours. There are many article submitting tools and programs but they can cost a significant amount of money and still require a substantial amount of your time.

Another benefit of outsourcing article writers is your ability to become the ‘expert’. If you see someone who has written 30 articles on a particular topic then they will viewed as an expert in their field. Instantly you have more credibility than someone who has written the odd article here and there. By regular article writing you are showing the world you are an expert on any give topic.

The reason everyone does not use article writers as a legitimate SEO tactic is because of the time it takes. You have to submit articles to 100′s of online directories. In addition, you will need to create profiles and keywords for each article. This could literally take days for one article. To really maximize the SEO results you would want original documents for each directory. How many hours per day can you give to writing articles? Outsourcing article writers could be the answer to this problem. The article writers can write and submit articles for you at a significantly reduced price but more importantly very little of your own time is required.

Brain Injury Lawyer Needed

by Texas Brain Injury Lawer

Many Americans give little thought to the possibility of a brain injury. However, such injuries happen more often than you may think and, if faced with their severity, you want a brain injury lawyer who is qualified to handle this unique type of injury case. To that end, following are some statistics to remember when considering a brain injury lawyer to handle your case.

Each year, more than a million Americans are treated for brain injuries; between 80,000-90,000 experience long-term disabilities as a result of traumatic brain injuries; and more than 50,000 die from traumatic brain injuries.

Automobile Accidents and Brain Injuries

Traffic accidents, not surprisingly, are one of the main causes of brain injuries in the United States. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a car, a truck, an SUV or an 18-wheeler. Even non-severe traffic accidents can cause brain injuries. Particularly in slow-moving accidents, many who suffer brain injuries may not even realize they’ve done so. This makes them even more dangerous. In these cases, a brain injury lawyer can protect your rights.

If left untreated, even mild brain injuries can lead to long-term health problems, which can include memory loss, headaches, personality changes and sleep deprivation. The symptoms can begin immediately, or they can be a delayed reaction to an accident. Whenever they appear, you can face mounting medical bills, job loss and even the need for long-term healthcare. An experienced brain injury lawyer can put you in a position to get the help you may need – not only immediately, but also in the future.

Things a Skilled Brain Injury Lawyer Should Know

A skilled brain injury lawyer should know certain things. Recognizing those who don’t will help you weed them out. An experienced brain injury lawyer will know the difference between the types of brain injuries (eg, mild and traumatic); will know the possible long-term ramifications of your type of brain injury; and will know how to how to battle defense assertions that your injury is not severe. You want a brain injury lawyer who is well versed in handling defense arguments, who comprehends complicated medical jargon; and who can research multi-faceted cases that include experts from many professions.
