Good catch! You are basically ramrodding your customer. At least be nice about it. Remember what Mary Poppins said about the spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down. Frame your actions within a context of the customer's best interest. Multi Media Approach Remember, I suggested Are You Working ON Your Business or IN Your Business? Much of business involves inducing people to do what we want them to do. Whether it is to sign a proposal, return a call, set up an appointment, provide information or pay a bill, we are constantly nudging.My good friend, Lenny Tumbarello, www.WeTooCanDo.com, gave me the idea for this article. It seems an associate of his sort of criticized him for working “IN” his business. He wanted Lenny to work “ON” his business. This fellow felt Lenny might be spending too much time doing things that could have been “outsourced” for a small cost - thereby freeing Lenny up to focus on the bigger picture, the stuff that In business, to exist you must persist. But what happens if your nudgee is flat-out unresponsive? Can you still advance your agenda? In many cases you can. Execute a classical Poingo inversion, top it off with a half-gainer and a solid plant at the end, and you've got your deal. In English that means to look for opportunities to invert the situation wherein the inaction, rather than the action of your nugdee prompts the furtherance of your cause. Your answer may be a self-serving letter or email. Example: Your customer ordered a load of snipe bracelets, but now that you have them and are ready to deliver, you can't get a returned phone call.

Leave a phone message, followed by a letter and an email which essentially says this: Self Serving Message (paraphrased) "Hello my esteemed customer, bringer of light and feeder of my children. I have spent a few seconds of my unworthy life calling to bring you excellent news about the arrival of your magnificent snipe bracelets." "Alas, all which has occurred to date is that I have has the distinct pleasure of hearing the music of your voice on your voicemail machine." "But now I must plan on your behalf, to ensure that your valuable merchandise arrives in time for the upcoming "Accoutrement' de Snipe" convention. I will take it upon myself to defend your interests, my friend, and deliver your valuables this Friday at 3PM." "If for any reason you need to modify this plan, please call me before end of day Thursday so I can best meet your expectations."

Multi Media Approach Remember, I suggested Measure and Review Your Sales Incentive Program a solid plant at the end, and you've got your deal.The methods you adopt for measuring your incentive programs should satisfy two requirements.Firstly, the program must be legal and permissible under existing regulations of each State, in which the programs are being operated.Secondly, your method of measurement must be acceptable to the incentive scheme participants, and be seen by them to be reasonable, appropriate and obtainable.Th In English that means to look for opportunities to invert the situation wherein the inaction, rather than the action of your nugdee prompts the furtherance of your cause.

I have has the distinct pleasure of hearing the music of your voice on your voicemail machine."World Class Chef Gordon Ramsay chooses to be hateful, mean and a perfectionist. You see, Gordon knows the secret. By provoking an emotional response in his chefs, he knows they will remember and/or make necessary changes. It’s the same with marketing and selling.If you are reading this you probably have heard that we buy with our emotions. Do you know why? And how? Let’s start with the why.

Frame your actions within a context of the customer's best interest. Multi Media Approach Remember, I suggested a call, a letter and an email. Each additional medium of communication reduces the ability of your customer to ignore you. Where appropriate, you may also use smoke signals and carrier pidgeons. Tatoos on prominent body parts can also be effective. Don't Hurt Yourself Use self-serving communications sparingly. Even more important, don't overreach: "Hello my most wonderful customer whose radiance shares the skies with the great deities while his feet bless the Earth with their touch. I surmise that in your greatness you may have overlooked signing the contract I have humbly offered".(so far, so good) "Knowing that you will soon be wanting the 7 shipping containers filled with the finest New Zealand Kiwi fruits we discussed, I am ordering their placement on the next barge coming your way. They will be nicely ripe when they arrive. I am confident that when you inhale the fragrance of these delicacies, you will immediately sign the contract and accept delivery."
