Wow what a day and what I learned…insights from a person who now will speak from her heart

Building strong futures through sales training and marketing strategies

This post is from my heart.   It is truly my hope that you will learn a thing or two and be inspired like I was this week.

This has been one tough economy that has gotten to us all and beat some of us down. I never want to use that as an excuse, but I needed inspiration.  I absolutely love what I have been doing for employers for 20 years and now on my own for 10.  But this economy even took me down for a while.  I think my instinct kicked in after losing most of my accounts in November 2008 and I started to do THINK DIFFERENTLY, which now will become my montra. 

So I got a couple of clients by thinking differently and got back into my old routine of helping clients live their dreams by growing their businesses.  Mine?  Oh, for the most part, it got put on hold again.  Oh don’t get me wrong I did some marketing, networking, online stuff, I definately changed my business model,  but it just wasn’t giving me the results I was looking for!

So in one of my mastermind groups someone mentioned a woman by the name of Jill Konrath.  I looked at her site and downloaded some freebies.  Lo and behold, her story was EXACTLY like mine, but she was a consultant for large businesses, Fortune 100 companies. She had to totally rebuild her business too.   This resonated with me so much, I wanted to contact her.  So I emailed her..no response..something told me to try again..did it and she answered. 

So I spoke with Jill for 1 hour 15 minutes.  And it began to turn my thinking on it’s head!  How I have to approach and market to new clients.  How I have to call and email these people SO much more than before in this crazy busy world!

And then that got me thinking of the old Steve Jobs Apple ad about thinking differently.  If you haven’t seen it in a while, take a quick look.  It’s always been so inspiring..enough to sell a ton of computers! 

So I want you all to be inspired to think differently!  This world of design and sales that we’re in is pretty stubborn about keeping things status quo.  I have seen way too many business in the industry close thier doors and I don’t want that to happen to any of you..so I say think differently.

Today..learn something new..read a book or a blog that will help you with new ideas and inspire you.  Try to get out of your own “crazy busy” world long enough to begin to think differently.  When you do you will be surprised at the ideas that will be born.
