Hi!
Opportunity is
upon us as we march the upward curve of leading economic indicators
– stock market, consumer confidence, housing starts, and retail
sales. Okay, maybe not retail sales, but it’s not Christmas yet,
either.
Things to work
on now so you are ready for the rising tide of the marketplace:
1. Plan: Lay out a strategy for increasing sales for the rest
of 2009 and all of 2010.
2. Question your assumptions – We live in an age of rapid
change so don’t assume anything – like direct mail response rates or
online conversion rates. Results you were achieving before the
recession are not necessarily what you’re going to see
post-recession.
3. Invest for success – Ask yourself what you need to do to
generate leads and sell effectively in today’s marketplace. When was
the last time your website had a complete facelift? Is your sales
literature up-to-date? Do you have clean customer and prospect
databases? Do you know what your competition is up to? 4. Save
the Date: October 8, 2009 for the inauguration of the CEO Series
sponsored by Zuk-Lloyd Associates, Inc. and others. The Series
presents speeches by highly successful CEOs. Excellent networking
and learning opportunity. More info coming.
5. Join my
strategic growth group – There is a synergistic power that
arises when like-minded business owners join together – it’s one of
the reasons that makes our growth groups an excellent value.
Let’s explore
your business success over a cup of coffee. 630-393-6516.
