My mom has a fabulous expression you're going to love.

She believes if you want to make life a little more interesting then you need to ...

"Stir The Pot"

So What Does Stir The Pot Mean?

I'm sure you've had this happen. (in fact - you may be experiencing it at this very moment)

You've been busy. Or distracted. Or focusing on something else (whatever that may be).

And during your "mental absence" your sales have slowed down -in fact, there's nothing simmering at all.

And you're starting to panic. Lots of heavy breathing, heart racing, 3 am wide-awake moments (and George Clooney nowhere in sight!)

Get out Your Wooden Spoon Lady!

It's time to stir things up a bit.

I want you to set aside 3 hours. (YES - 3 hours - enough whining already!)

And you're going to do some SERIOUS POT STIRRING.
How?
5 Ridiculously Easy Ways To Increase Your Sales:

1. Phone all of your top customers and ask them for their advice on a free teleclass you'd like to offer. Ask them what topics would interest them.

2. Email the customers who have purchased from you...but they have settled down to the bottom of the pot. Ask them about the tele-class too.

3. Ask a potential customer that you've met recently, out for lunch. Ask them for feedback as well about a teleclass/product etc that you're working on. Ask them what their challenges and goals are for their business as well.

4. Attend a networking function filled with people who are your niche!

5. Create a special blow-out offer and send it to all your SPECIAL TOP CUSTOMERS via a postcard or through your e-zine (oops - you DO have an e-zine don't you??) nn*Diva Tip: Check out these resources if you want to do a tele-class:

What Will Happen?

You connect with people you've been out of touch with.

You create top of mind awareness again.

People will say "I was just thinking about you...."

You'll get feedback and ideas.

You'll sell stuff.

And most importantly?

You'll learn you CANNOT IGNORE YOUR CUSTOMERS. (next time you do that I'll smack you with a "wooden spoon")

So there.

Excerpt from the book "Chase the Championship - Kicking Ass, Taking Names and Becoming a Dealmaker!" Stay far away from the boss’s underlings when you are in search of a decision. The heads of Marketing, IT, Human Resources, or whoever else is part of the “decision-making chain” for the product or service that you are selling should never be the people that you go after for a commitment.
