Clebrity Night Shot

One of the most important indicators of a company's financial success is the extent to which it has built a sales culture among its employees. Having every single employee feel a responsibility for doing their part to increase sales and profits energizes the enterprise on a daily basis.

But how do you know if your company has a sales culture? Here are 5 indicators to help you assess your current position?

Do all of your employees know your sales and profit goals for the year?

At its heart, business is a game and we all rely upon knowing the score to decide if we are winning or losing. The owner or top management sets the overall objectives and everyone gets to work to meet the goals. But does everyone know the goal? Is it simply to stay in business? Is it to make a profit? Of course, but how more motivational would it be to have a real number, a real metric that everyone is working toward. Companies with sales cultures know their objectives and track their progress toward meeting their goals.

Do you celebrate major sales?

A company with a true sales culture gets excited over major sales, new customers, new products, new opportunities. A publishing company I know rang a loud bell whenever one of the inside sales reps made a sale over a certain amount. Applause immediately burst out, followed by an intercom explanation of the sale and who was responsible. What a great way to bring everyone into the sales mindset and recognize good work from the sales staff.

Can everyone in your company explain your Unique Sales Proposition?

The ability to explain what makes your company or product special should no be confined to the sales staff. Your customers touch your company every day in many different encounters. From the tech line to customer service to billing, your customers are building an opinion about you. All your employees reflect the uniqueness of your business and should be able to give a 30 second sales pitch. Management's commitment to on-going sales and product training to everyone can insure all your customer touches are positive.

Can your employees name your Top 5 accounts?

Recognizing the names and importance of your top accounts should be a goal for everyone in your organization. After all, these are the accounts that "pay the bills." By knowing who these customers are and why they matter, your employees will be motivated to give just a bit extra, to try just a little bit harder to make sure they are satisfied. The more your employees know your customers as people rather than sales numbers on a spreadsheet, the more they can add their own personalities and abilities to the relationship.

Do Your Share Customer Losses with Employees?

Every business loses customers over time, often through no fault of their own. It is a recognized part of business. But sharing that information with everyone is difficult for many reasons. The owner doesn't want to alarm employees or maybe you don't really know. However, even the loss of a customer can help build a sales culture if the reasons are shared, discussed and turned into actions for improvement. This can give all employees confidence that management and sales understand the loss of customers but know how to deal with it in an open, positive manner.

Asking and answering these 5 basic questions will help any small business in the process of creating a sales culture.

Blogging back when it started was thought to only be a passing fancy. But that idea has proven time and time again to be so untrue today. There are millions of bloggers online today and some are making tens of thousands of dollars a week doing it too. The viewpoint of the individual presented without bias and honesty is treasured by their readers by the millions.

There are really two areas the most blogs will slide into and they are the business blogs that are built to make money or just share information about a business. The other area is the fun blog written for pleasure and you may think that no money is made with this type of blog but you would be wrong.

When a blog is built for fun most often the blogger puts their heart and soul into it and the popularity of a great blog makes it turn out to be profitable. Just because it is designed to be fun and built for enjoyment don't think for a minute that there will not be money made from it.

Business Blogs

Business blogs are the perfect platform to promote a business or the businesses products or both. If you are wondering why this is true here is the answer. The business blog will be updated on a daily basis and the readership will be the first to know about new developments and new products. After all who do you know that does not want to be the first to know about something new?

For both types of blogs business and fun when built with quality and integrity grow virally because you have all the necessary factors working for you. The readership will tell others and other bloggers will make posts about the information on your blog and the attraction can grow beyond belief sometimes.

Use a popular or controversial subject or good information about a well know celebrity and one simple post can bring in millions and millions of new readers very fast.

It is also very important to not make people mad at you because the word spreads like wild fire and your readership drops off like a stone. Blogging with subscribers in the millions has become a great source of power in the world today.

Blogs do many things by getting people elected to public office. Blogs can make or break the popularity of a new movie release. Blogs even move new music into or out of the spotlight.

Considering all the possibilities available to the blogger when they can use words in the written format, audio and video can be added also. Let me tell you audio and video added to the business or fun blog is simple that most of you children are all ready doing it today.

Blogging fun or business possibilities that are available are endless. From personal or any one of billions of niche's there is a profitable blog subject to start or help you do anything you want to do.

Ever had strange coincidences happen in your life? Maybe you have recently mentioned an old friend or connection then they show up in your life again or call you. Maybe you just mentioned something in passing then it actually comes true...

These are called synchronicities, they happen to everyone on a daily basis, sometimes people just see these as coincidences, I am here to tell you they are not just by chance. Everything which shows up in your life happens for a reason. What you are focusing on and putting your energy towards will be drawn into your life. This is the Law of Attraction in action...

I see synchronicities as the breadcrumbs we are sent to show us we are on the right path in life when working towards dreams and goals. We put our attention upon something we would love to attract in life. A new person, job, business, house, car, it works with anything..... As we focus upon the things we desire we are sent similar things which match up with our desire. These Synchronistic moments should be recognized and appreciated they are here to give you a boost, to help you on the sometimes difficult journey to understand your true destiny in life.

Synchronicities are also a great way to prove the law of attraction really works, law of attraction proof, I speak from experience here and have been working with the Law of Attraction for a number of years. When Synchronicities show up in my life I celebrate them, I am grateful and appreciate Synchronicities sent into my life. Start to notice them in your life and be grateful you are on the right path:)
