For the last month, I've been referencing how 80% of sales are made after 5+ contacts. And most professionals give up after just a few 'NO's
So I just want to encourage you (and remind myself) if at first, you don't succeed,
try

again.
And again.
Delegate to Scale.
The most powerful tool that is underutilized in leadership.
Do you know the Blue Man group is no longer just 3 guys?
https://t.co/gfsMHjCnRM notes as of this post 70 blue men worldwide.
If you are feeling restricted, you probably are not delegating.

Once Upon a Time...
Marketing is a story.
It's not a sale, it's drawing you in. From the first word to the next sentence, to the paragraph, to the page, and ultimately chapters.
The sale happens when the book is finished.
Is your business a comic strip? Or War and Peace?
What's going on? That's what your prospective customers are asking.
Why?
Because they actually want to hear from you more often than you think.
We receive a literal MILLION marketing messages each year. It takes time for them to notice you, and they forget you fast.
Reach out
80% of sales require 5+ contacts - https://t.co/8VnBpSUZD5.
So how do you ACTUALLY make 5-18 contacts to close those opportunities?
Well, emails are a necessary tool - https://t.co/wyhl9dNqfP.
And you can sign up here to get started!

Seth Godin https://t.co/l84Sama7Ro posted this in late January.
I saved this as a screen saver and reminder.
Which quadrant do you let yourself fall into?
Responsibility is something you can ask for.
Control is something you need to work on yourself.
So how can you grow?

Have you taken this test?
Dominance
Influence
Compliance

A healthy company has a balance of all 4 and looks to stay balanced when hiring new employees.
Here's a free one, but there are plenty more.

Let us know what you are below!
"Empty your purse into your head, so no one can take it away from you"- Benjamin Franklin
Paraphrasing, Ben is encouraging the pursuit of knowledge.
Not only college degrees or certificates. Reading and listening to what is affecting those around you.
How do you keep learning?
Taking care of your team isn't 'soft'...
People LIKE working in a place where they feel valued. (don't you?)
It's not fancy coffee and Pizza Thursdays that improve morale.
Plus, these are free: Recognition, Respect, Appreciation, Acknowledgement, Trust...
Boom I saved you $$$
48 Hours.
Sounds like 2 days.
That's how much time you have to establish your culture with a new employee.
Consider a new employee like a sponge. If you don't fill their mind with the values and drive you want in your business, the other team members will.
So what are you doing?
Core Values
Do you have them?
What do they mean to you?
Jim Collins speaks in Good To Great that GREAT companies establish CORE VALUES.
3-7 are the recommended maximum and minimum.
At VeraPax we have 5. They are posted around our office and MORE than that. They each have a story.
Are you taking note?
VeraPax provides custom solutions like branded note pads to hand out at your next client meeting.
Or
Send these out as a follow-up piece to your prospects. (they fit in an envelope!)
If you need to connect with your market, we are here to help.
Let's start with your To-Do list.
In the morning, determine 3 things that are YOUR TOP priorities.
Now pick 1.
Get that 1 thing done before anything else. Before emails! (but after coffee :)
When the other fires and distractions WILL happen. At least you did that 1 Thing
A philosopher, a dreamer, and an inspiration to us all.
Today we pause to honor his legacy and hold on to his words. Take this to heart.
Is there someone you should forgive today? Could your attitude use a tune-up?
Do not ignore this opportunity to change.
Thank you MLK Jr.
