Top
5 New Year's Resolutions for Your Stamping
Business (and
How to Make Them Happen)
|
 |
|
This is the time of year
when we naturally take a moment to reflect on the year
we've just had and the year we'd like to have.
Many stamping business owners make resolutions to help
them focus on developing their business into a
successful one. Here (in no particular order) are
the 5 most popular New Year's Resolutions for stamping
business owners...and how to make them stick!:
1.
I'm going to recruit more downlines
To
make this one happen, you have to make a list of
everyone you know and speak to them about your stamping
business. Don't pre-judge and not speak to people
because you think they'll say no. Recruiting is a
numbers game, and the more people you speak to, the more
people will say yes. They'll be a lot of no's,
too, but they won't matter as much when you see how much
your network has grown. Try and speak to at least
one person per day.
2.
I'm going to book more workshops and events
Again,
make a list of all of your customers, old and new.
Then, call them. Touch base and see if they're
ready to host another workshop. If they're not,
see #3.
3.
I'm going to increase my customer sales
Even
if your customers aren't prepared to host a workshop
this month, they may want to buy some product
anyway. Always ask. Never wait for them to
bring it up. As a rule, you should try and speak
to every one of your customers once every three months.
4.
I'm going to be more organized
Find
a system and stick to it. If you like to use
Outlook to keep track of things, use it. If you
prefer a paper planner, use that. A good system is
one that you'll use. Just make sure it allows you
to keep track of all of your contacts, and provides a way for
you to make sure you're following up adequately.
5.
I'm going to make more money
A
little vague, but powerful nonetheless. 95% of you
are not earning what you could be through your stamping
business. How do you change that? Put
together your Business Plan! If you don't know
how, the book, "Stamping Is My Business!", has
an easy, 9-page Plan plus worksheets specifically for
stamping business owners. Take a good, hard
look at the different aspects of your business.
Build on your strengths and eliminate your
weaknesses. Set a financial goal for this time
next year and go for it!

Women
Don't Ask
Negotiation
and the Gender Divide
by
Linda
Babcock and Sara Laschever
Men ask for what they want twice as much
as women and initiate negotiation four times as
much. This book focuses on how to decrease
anxiety, anticipate roadblocks, plan counter-moves and
resist throwing in the towel too early. A great
book for any stamping business owner who feels
uncomfortable pitching the business opportunity.
