WOW!! Can you believe it is 2006?

Doesn't it seem like yesterday that we were drinking champagne bringing in the new century??

6 years have gone by since then. What have YOU filled them with?

This Is Going To Be Your Felt-Marker Year!

You've seen them - those fabulous huge felt markers that little kids love coloring with. They leave a BOLD mark!

One thing this Sales Diva knows - that unless you plan something BOLD every year- life has a way of tip-toeing past you.

And all you are left with is bills, excuses and the odd gray hair (Ok - a heck of a lot of gray hair!)

This decade is almost 60% over - wouldn't you like to KICK IT UP A NOTCH?

Why Is Selling About Being Bold?

Listen - being "vanilla" in this world gets you absolutely nowhere.

Your customer - and potential customers - want to buy from people/companies they trust, admire, respect and overall LOVE!

If you are blending in with the crowd, copying what others are doing and basically COASTING - I have some tough news for you.

You are going to keep STRUGGLING.

However, if you make a BOLD impact with your customers on what you deliver, how you HELP THEM GROW, how BOLDLY easy it is to work with you - they will start lining up at the doors.

I don't know about you - but I only buy from businesses that have heart and passion and who show me VALUE.

I simply don't have time for anything or anyone who pride themselves on being "vanilla".

I DIVA-DARE YOU!

Quit being average. Quit being so afraid of taking a chance. Quit playing it so damn safe!

Your business and your customers need you to be EVEN MORE of who you are.

You are already pretty amazing. But you know what I am talking about - deep down there are some things you have been coasting on...and they bug you.

Bring your ideas to the light of day. Expose them - do a pilot project - fly the kite! You will be THRILLED at what being BOLD will do for you - and the wonderful OPPORTUNITIES that will be attracted to you.

This BOLD DIVA believes in you!

Back in the late 1980’s, the Honda Motor Company ran a memorable series of commercials, the basic premise of which was that the company’s cars were so amazing, they sold themselves. This commercial’s “hook” was that it featured a salesman who was bored out of his mind and had nothing to do because the cars were so in demand they were practically walking off the lot. The brand’s slogan at the time was “Honda, the car that sells itself.” Ha!

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.
