Time to Point Cupid’s Arrow in the Right Direction!

The good news is that you can significantly boost the bottom line without spending a fortune!

4 Ways to Fall In L-O-V-E with Your Sales Numbers Fast!
- L – Look at your plan.
What is working and what isn’t?
Get rid of the activities that don’t produce results and develop new ideas.
For example, you can create a new eReport or tip sheet with valuable information and then promote it to current and potential customers via email, social media and more.
It’s something unique you can offer without spending extra money on advertising.
- O – Outsource.
What do you waste time doing each day?
Hire a free intern to help you with administrative tasks so you can focus on your core responsibilities. You can also find inexpensive freelancers on sites like Upwork and Fiverr.
Stop using your valuable time on tedious activities that don’t increase sales!
- V – Vie for Media Coverage.
Research pertinent media members who cover your industry and give them a call. Introduce yourself as an expert in your field, offer interesting story ideas relevant to their audience and develop relationships with reporters.
A single story in the local newspaper can build buzz and give you third-party credibility you can’t get any other way.
- E – Enjoy Yourself!
Why did you get into your line of work in the first place?
Think of all the things that you love about your business and why. Then, focus on doing more of these activities.
If you have lost the love, be creative and think of new ways to make your work more enjoyable. For instance, you can develop charitable programs to assist others in the local community, teach interns valuable, on-the-job skills, have fun employee events and contests to create a happier work culture, and more.
When you love what you do, people will notice… and this helps attract new customers, top talent, great opportunities, and more!
Find the Love and Watch Sales Soar!
If you dread your sales numbers, it’s time to fall in love with your business again. Review activities and make positive changes to improve results. Outsource time-consuming tasks, pitch reporters for free media coverage and create a work culture where everyone enjoys what they do.
Your business can have the best year ever, but it’s up to you to evaluate what’s going on and make changes happen.
Once you do, love will be in the air once again as customers, media members, top new hires, and more clamor to be part of your positive work environment!
