Part 1 of Having a Successful BusinessIn this series, it’s important to show that successful people aren’t better than you; they just made better decisions. This section will see if you’re ready to go out build a better future.Have a little fun at work tomorrow with some of your co-workers. Go up to about three to five people and ask them what they plan on achieving in the next ten years.It’s a safe bet that these same people YOU ask for important advice will give you an answer that will be mediocre at best.Not saying these people aren’t going somewhere…but are they going where you want to ultimately end up?Everyone wants the “American Dream” but they want for that bus to pick them up. Here’s a better example. There are two ways to get to the top of a tree: 1) start climbing or 2) wait for a sprout from the acorn.A brutal truth needs to be understood h

If you have spent some time talking about non profit groups and being involved with fund-raisers. I would like to suggest that you should be take one step further and you should volunteer to be part of the executive. You may be thinking that you do not have enough time to do this. In reality, being on the executive helps you to steer the organization and make it better. These positions are often hard to fill because of the perceived time commitment. Make this an opportunity to step up to the plate and help give some direction. Every organization I have joined, I have managed to be on the executive. I even have become the President. These positions should not be taken lightly as they are a lot of work but what you get out of the responsibility is far more rewarding. Everyone in the organization will know who you are and how you operate. You will be part of the face the group puts forward. This type
It's the so-called 'numbers game' which goes approximately like this:
- You call 100 people.
- Five to 10 people listen to you for a while for whatever reason (because they're polite, or feel sorry for the cold caller or ...)
- Two to three people are at the moment searching exactly for the kind of product or service offered in the cold call.
- One of them eventually buys.
So you just need to make hundreds or thousands of calls and you will eventually get the business you wanted.
Unfortunately, this business development approach has a number of considerable disadvantages:
* Chances are good that you will ruin the image of your company.
* It is highly frustrating to the cold caller to be continuously rejected.
* It is actually unethical because you annoy most people you call.
* It is a huge waste of time and energy.
Let me make it clear upfront: I believe in cold calls, provided they are done with integrity and respect for the person being called. Cold calls can be a fast track to getting new business from your target customers, whom you might not easily reach otherwise.

While 90% of the U.S. population is bemoaning the quickly approaching April 15th tax deadline, I am waiting for my gift from the IRS. I big fat refund. How you ask? I take advantage of the one last tax shelter available to the average person. Before I tell you my best tax tips for 2006, I'd like you to be aware of a couple of things.First, do you realize that what you pay in taxes each year is your number one expense?! In fact, the average employee works the first five months of the year for Uncle Sam for free. How does that make you feel about going to work January through May?Second, most people think the way to have more income is to get another job. Adding a second "job" to increase your family's income is in most cases a bad idea. Especially, if it pushes you up into a higher tax bracket! You basically sign up for even more taxes, increased car expenses, c

However, to make every cold call meaningful and enjoyable, you will need to change a few things in your approach.
1. Opening
Keep in mind that the first impression you make will be decisive in the outcome of your cold call. People typically form a first impression about you 12-19 seconds from the first verbal or non-verbal (the latter not relevant in cold calls) communication with you. Hence, your opening is crucial!
Some Tips:
- Don't sound like a cold caller.
- First ask for permission (just because people pick up the phone doesn't mean that it's a good time for them to speak with you). Asking permission shows respect.
- Do as much research as possible on the person or company you want to call.
- Adjust your pace, voice, and speaking style to the way the person being called speaks (don't mimic the other person though, just stretch your natural style to get closer and still remain yourself). It will make the person you call feel more comfortable talking to you.
2. Elevator Speech
Early in the conversation your counterpart will want to know which company yo
