What Does It Mean To Sell From The Heart?
Selling From the Heart goes against everything that standard sales training teaches you. The world has changed and yet, how we sell seems to be stuck in past decades. No longer are the old-school or hard-nosed tactics working, it’s time for a change. So how do you sell in this current environment? From the heart!!! You put the needs of your clients first. You place them up on a silver business platter. You intently listen to their every word, what they need and how you can best fill it. You...

A Secret Tip for Prospecting via Email
I's like to make a long story short, however that may not be the case with this blog. I figure it out as I continue to write. A few days ago I had a lead come in for a production copier. When I opened the lead I saw that the person requesting information was from my home town. Since my home town is small I knew exactly where he lived or worked. It was a town house complex and I thought he might be running the business from that location, but production print? Thinking that was not possible.
