One of the best ways to get a referral is to give a referral. When you give someone a referral, they are forever grateful and will feel obligated to return the favor.Before you can go ahead and give someone a referral, you must know them and know their business, this much is obvious. You wouldn’t refer somebody that needs their house sided to a painter would you? Of course not.There are many ways to get to know people within your business community and a lot of places to go to me

When you want someone to like you, associate yourself with something that they love. Take coffee for instance. How much of America, or the world for that matter, would still be asleep if it weren’t for this dark, smoky beverage?Now, coffee is messy without a receptacle. You can’t have coffee without a mug. Everyone knows that. Every morning a huge number of humans across the world seek solace in a mug of this steaming liquid. It makes us feel good, it wakes us up, and we consider oursel
Take the old aphorism: "The early bird catches the worm?" It just doesn't apply anymore. Even in the wild, naturists have discovered that 'early on the job' does not necessarily equate with success.
Consider this analogy:
Worms are slow, but they are expert at hiding. To catch one, birds must do more than just show up early. In the highly competitive world of birds, all the birds are up early. So, in practice, what distinguishes the successful bird from the hungry one is observation and preparation. Smart birds have figured out that worms are most vulnerable when they are in the act of eating.

I have found

The other day a guy contacted me and told me he was interested in buying a business that was far away from where he lives. And he was almost frantic about what to do as far how much information he should get from the seller before planning the four-hour flight and face-to-face visit. Here's what I told him: The main things you’re looking for with an owner before getting on the plane are the same questions you would ask if he was just down the block: 1.)

Is Direct Mail Useless for DMers?Is direct mail useless at helping direct mail businesses generate leads?That’s the question I was asked last week by a reader of Alan Sharpe’s B2B Direct Mail Tactics newsletter. Here is her unusual challenge, and my response. “My biggest challenge in generating leads from direct mail is to convince our marketing people that direct mail should be used. This is a completely ironic situation given that we are a DIR
The clever ones take care to study when, where, and what worms eat. The successful bird takes that data into account when making preparation! For example, one rather successful bird has learned that a certain type of worm finds a particular kind of leaf to be especially appealing. The wise bird has been observed using its beak to place the targeted worm's preferred leaves in the worm's vicinity.
The analogy of the clever bird applies not only in nature, but suggests a powerful strategic option available to you in business.
Knowing your target partner's needs and decision structure gives you the edge over all other early birds. Whether you're a CEO or a field executive with front line responsibility, you know that your prospects are capable of sophisticated camouflage. They are expert at hiding behind gatekeepers, red tape, misdirection, and layers of bureaucracy. So be it! Getting in front of potential partners takes more than showing up earl
