Comments(0) My previous post “Seven Rules for Keeping Motivated” has turned out to be one the most popular I’ve ever posted. So I’m going to share a little more of the wisdom of Omar Periu, one of the world’s best known motivational speakers. According to our conversation, here are ten ways that […]

Posted March 25, 2008 Comments(0) Even though I’ve been using YouTube to market for over a year, I just learned now that the public can see my favorites list!
So, those who go to my channel looking for sales advice also see the videos I’ve favorited - the Laphroaig whisky distillery tour, lots of George W. Bush humor, Rush concert clips, and more.
Think about that and think about how you can use this to learn about a prospect’s personal preferences. For example, lots of people try to get my attention by sending me gift cards to various restaurants, Starbucks, etc., but if they’d just looked at my YouTube favorites, they’d know that sending a bottle of Laphroaig would get a response from me. Do the same with your prospects, whether they be sales prospects, relationship prospects, what have you.
It’s easy to find people online nowadays, and just as easy to find their MySpace, Facebook, YouTube pages, and so on. It’s really so easy to find a person’s hot buttons in today’s Information Age that there’s no excuse not to in advance!

Posted March 24, 2008 Comments(0) Underground 4 Seminar - Los Angeles, 28th -30th March 2008
Just a brief update to say I and my Buzz Marketing partner Dean Hunt are appearing at Yanik Silvers Underground 4 Seminar
The event is Sold Out - but if you want to have the juicy details anyway - then see Dean Hunts post on the matter at: Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar 4
Yanik’s events are always very good - pure entrepreneurial fuel and How-To advice on running a business online and offline.
In particular I am looking forward to hearing Eben Pagan speak and Yanik has not one, but two Keynote Speakers.
Keynote Speaker #1: Mike Faith, CEO Headsets.com
Mike is the founder CEO of Headsets.com, Inc. A company that’s grown from a $40 thousand investment in 1998 to $31 Million in sales last year. (On track to do $40M in 2007)
AND
Keynote Speaker #2: Tony Hsieh, CEO Zappos.com
Tony Hsieh is the CEO and Director of Zappos.com—the number one footwear retailer on the web with over $800M in gross merchandise sales last year.
But Zappos.com isn’t Tony’s first (or only) big success. A few years earlier, he started a business called LinkExchange. He calls it a “side business” that he started out of his apartment. I’ll take his word for it… but I don’t know too many “side businesses” that get sold to Microsoft for a whopping $265 million. But Tony’s done it.
Expect some updates next week when we return

Posted March 24, 2008 Comments(0) What defines a good podcast? Make no mistake — there is a difference between a good podcast and a not-so-good podcast. A high-caliber podcast is much more than just decent content. The sound quality, and the way a podcast is recorded, will impact the value of the podcast as well. Podcast structure and pre-planning are also important; do not skimp on the production, as it too can make or break a podcast.

Posted March 24, 2008 Comments(0) As I suspected it might, my post “Sales Management’s 10 Dumbest Mistakes” flushed out some great “real-life” mistakes that I somehow missed. Here they are, credited to the perceptive community member who posted them:
Agreeing to (or even worse, asking to) become a sales manager with absolutely no experience, management skills, or the temperament, even […]

Posted March 24, 2008 Comments(0) Considering that high tech is all about the future, it seems a bit odd that IT groups are talking about "modernization." However, the fact remains that a lot of corporate infrastructure has gotten, well, a bit rickety since the last big buying spree, which was almost 10 years ago during th
