Hey Art, Was wondering if you set resolutions to get x amount of $$$ in your pipeline for the year?

Re: My Top New Years Work Resolutions for 2015
Nope, no resolutions for x amount of dollars. It's my belief that if you do the prospecting you'll have the pipeline of dollars.

Re: State of the "Art" Sales Technology
Hey Jeff, Art's Box Approach (I believe) is using 4 different methods of communication: Phone Call LinkedIn Email In-Person Cold Call You "box" the prospect in until they finally give you the time of day. Using all 4 methods of communication ensures that you are optimizing your ability to reach the DM via his preferred method.

Re: State of the "Art" Sales Technology
Okay, thanks! I have the phone call, Email, In-person aspects covered. I use LinkedIn to find the right person—I don’t use it for communicating with them yet. I’ve tried to get referrals from people who are linked to them, but no success with that. My sales rep uses LinkedIn to continue my efforts. JeffR

Re: The Risks of Email Blasts and How the "Junk" Button Can Hurt Your Business
Good stuff Darrell: I started my own email newsletter to my existing accounts and prospects. However, what I did first was to ask them permission, meaning, are they are ok with being on the list. I started this three months ago and the open rate is hair over 60% which is pretty awesome. So, far, I've only got 60 clients and prospects on the list, but, that will grow in time, in fact one of the blog articles already turned in to a 25k opp. Art

Re: Smart Copier Sales Person or Not So Smart with Lost Deals
I remember the first copier I sold, it was an Olympia wet process job, and it happened back in the early 70's. I was actually a typewriter salesman at the time, but they wanted a copier as well, and I had to beat the guy from Apeco. Eventually I started in copiers full time, in mid-1976, and the first plain paper machine I sold was a U-Bix 101, which was quite remarkable, because the machine caught on fire during the demonstration. I can't remember what the excuse I gave was, but I got the...

That opp is for $48-$50K, if I can nail that down, the rest of the year should be a breeze. If I can't get that opp to close, I'll then have to figure out a plan to piece meal the rest together. If the piece meal bit comes to fruition, I'm thinking I may have to write 12-15 orders for the month. Egads! That will not be an easy task.
