I just created my own YouTube channel doing product videos with future ones planned mostly focussed on MS365. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OotckdOtEg ... and I am working Linkedin a lot more in different ways. Most of the people I know say they have never gotten a lead from Linkedin. They think of this site as a static business card talking about who they are and not what they can do for the customer. They never post to Linkedin. Like most things, Linkedin requires almost daily work to...

SSG that's an awesome video! You can send links to clients, and direct them to your channel. It's a virtual demo that keeps on giving. Kudos I have some of the same issues with getting appointments through Linkedin, however I know of several peeps that use Linkedin as their only source for prospecting and they are doing well. I will keep working it since I have a Navigator account now

This is the first night since I started writing this blog series that I wasn't sure what I was going to write about. After 43 days of writing how much more can you cover or how much more content can you provide for other peeps with help they might need. Tonight I'd like to cover a few things I've been doing everyday other than taking the occasional break and lunch. Many weeks ago I learned that I can't work with the TV on in my office. It's too distracting especially when I have the news on...

I received my early constant contact numbers from the email I sent yesterday. It was a little better than I thought for and much better than the first. 17% open rate and 5% click through. That translates to about 120 opens and 6 of the opens clicked through. I even had multiple clicks from multiple people. The plan is not to call the clicks right away but to collect some data on who is clicking what. I'm thinking after 120 days (4 campaigns) I'll be able to generate some net new leads. The...

Great to see that business is still happening if you go and get it!

I think we're going to make to an entire quarter of working remote in New Jersey. Phase two is schedule to start in two weeks (ten business days) and will be phased in over the next 4 weeks. As I said yesterday I don't see us opening up completely until Labor Day. Tonight I was on the phone with my good friend Jesse Harwell, he's the owner of Pahoda Imaging along with Perfect Copier . He tells me he's outfitted a really cool van and is taking a road trip east in 30 days. He wants to visit...

Short blog tonight please Yay I was able to knock out about 30 calls today along with maybe 20 emails. I was able to set two appointments and added zero opportunities today. Earlier in the AM I received the docs for the two small A4 orders I was waiting on. Thus I'm finally on the books for June and sitting at a measly $6K. One of my wide format net new appointments went well this AM. This is the one where I pitched the pre-owned MP W6700. Client told me they want it all they need to do is...

Have you ever finished a day and everything was a blur? Kind of how I felt after I clocked out about 6PM. I never been a big drinker and I might indulge once a month but I will be ready to tie one on after we've emerged from these uncertain times. Yesterday I made the first contact with an existing client via email to alert them to recent research that I completed about reducing their total annual costs. Those costs included the lease and the maintenance & supplies. The reply was "yes,...

Sales Journal Day 58 Yay, it's Friday and today was a good way to end the week, not the great way that I had hoped but we can't have everything our way. Not getting those things that we want will keep us on the path to the finish line. I had a bunch of items that needed to be completed before my 11AM appointment with a net new account. I was working by 7AM this morning working on developing a side by side comparison for the client. I took 6 key features that the client stated they had to...

One week from today New Jersey will begin Phase 2 of re-opening. Phase 2 will be a 2-4 week process. Out door dining, out door drinking (can you believe that) and non-essential business can now have people (limited) in their stores. No word on in-door dining, gyms, salons, barbers another other personal type services. Can't imagine eating out side and you're suppose to wear a mask when you're not eating. It's gotten to the point of why bother if I can't enjoy my-self. Rather easy day today...

Only 5 more days for four full months of selling days that I've been working remote. You may have noticed that I've been skipping a couple of days here and there with blogging on this series. I had no idea that Covid19 would last in to the summer and usually my summers mean less posting of blogs and more time spent enjoying the great weather. Just a short recap for Friday. I was able to secure two orders for two net new companies. However the revenue fell short of what I was hoping for. With...

Always motivating to read your posts Art and to appreciate the grind. We're all in it together, the way things look now, for a while longer yet. 200 miles is a good bit of distance for two appointments, I bet you're wishing you had some time or it was socially acceptable for some cold/warm calls in between! Don't let the blog rule you, enjoy the weather and what helps keep you calm! Have a great rest of your week!

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Ninety-Three of Sales It's just about 10PM in New Jersey, and the temperature is still about 90 degrees. The last few days have been hot, humid and terrible to be outside unless you're planning a visit to the beach. COVID19 in New Jersey? Not much has changed since I gave my last update. We're in some type of holding pattern from the onset of Phase 2. The curve in New Jersey has been crushed for months now, the line is flat and yet our Governor keeps his foot on...

Remote working days are everywhere these days. Coronavirus make us aware about our inner abilities and working capacity too. Anthony Constantinou CEO CWM FX likes your post.

Stay positive my friend! Keep working hard and you'll find success!

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Fifty-One of Selling Copiers I'm not going to write about my day. Yes last week had it's ups and downs, with more downs than ups. Today marks the last week of the month and there are four days left to finish the struggle. Mind you I had no intention of posting anything today. However I could not resist the temptation of creating this video. The title is so apropos as to what we are all going through in this time of COVID19. Some peeps from our sales...

WooHoo! One more day we'll be at the seven month mark for working remote or least I will be. Am I happy? Not really because going we're now into the last two months of the fiscal year. In previous years you could do the research on your clients and pick those that you wanted to pay a visit to. In most cases these were the clients that you have the best relationships with. With most businesses not being in the office or sparsely populated in New Jersey that may not work this year. I guess the...

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Fifty-Six of Selling Copiers Monday sometimes the best and worst day of the week. I'm in the camp of "I Don't Like Mondays", because I truly love my weekends and anytime off is a good time. However today was a Monday unlike many other Mondays and that's because I was sick as a dog last night. Not the COVID but more or less a 24 hour bug that was horrid. It was about 3AM on Monday went I finally drifted off. Yes, I woke up late and yes I had a...

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Sixty-Three of Selling Copiers It's been four business day since my last blog. I've been busy but took the time off last night to watch/listen to the returns from the election. Can 2020 get any crazier? At this point I don't care who wins and I hope if it's the other guy that he does n't make things worse. I guess from a conservative point of view I'm happy that the Senate is still intact. I've been able to secure two orders in the last four days,...

Never loose your 2nd amendment rights. We live in a dangerous world.

I agree and it's probably going to get worse

Please explain content opportunities a bit more. Do you mean like Docuware? Thanks,

COVID19 Remote Working Day Two Hundred and Fifty-One of Selling Copiers At this point in time could we get to three hundred days? I'm so glad this week is over because I snagged another zero in revenue for the week. It's been almost three weeks with no orders! As I mentioned a few days ago this is some light at the end of the tunnel but it seems the tunnel was a little longer than I anticipated. Now I find myself with seven selling days left in the month. There's an outside chance I might be...

Content for me can a multiple of solutions than include DocuWare, PlanetPress, GoldFax, EtherFax, and Sharepoint

My day started kinda slow with our weekly virtual sales meeting with the team. After that it was time to make the rounds with calls and emails to move some opportunities closer to the finish line. In the end I was able to get one opportunity closer to the ordering process and the rest of the calls and emails seems to have fallen on deaf ears today. Yes with five selling days left the thought of pulling a zero is weighing on me. My afternoon was supposed to be dedicated to calls and emails...
