Wow, it has been a while!! The end of the summer took over. We had a wonderful camping trip in the Adirondacks of New York State and then a quick weekend trip to Vermont this weekend.
We have been out cycling more and more with our girls on the back of our new tandems! They definitely ride better than the attached third wheel. But, today, we headed out just me and the two girls, one on the tandem and the “third wheel” attached! We did a quick 3.5 mile ride to test our long contraption! It worked and there was much pedaling and singing!
One of my discoveries, again, is that I LOVE cycling. Just love it. It is where I connect in so many ways and where I find great peace. I love the lure of the next hill and seeing what is just over the horizon.
In a couple of weeks we plan to do our first short tour. To follow our cycling adventures be sure to visit: www.nwjerseyfamilycycling.com
So, it is back to business.
I have a few things coming up and more things planned for this fall.
First, for those in New Jersey we are hosting a WONDERFUL business seminar:
http://www.launchingyourdreams.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-t.pl?l=76&c=8743
We have four business experts coming together to share their expertise at the beautiful Inn at Millrace Pond. The seminar includes a wonderful lunch and networking immediately following.
http://www.launchingyourdreams.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-t.pl?l=76&c=8743
And there is a SPECIAL Discount code for my valued subscribers to save: vipdiscount
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Second — is Bizology.Biz–
The membership site has been totally rebuilt and is wonderful.
Please take a minute and take a look:
http://www.launchingyourdreams.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-t.pl?l=21&c=8743
We are adding additional bonuses to the site and it is just about ready to go to a GOLD level membership as well. This program is incredible. It is the ABC’s of increasing your business and is totally AFFORDABLE at just $47 per month. AND, it is not a forever membership it is a time limited membership of just 5 months!
Gold Membership will be offering new benefits including one-on-one coaching at the most AFFORDABLE one-on-one pricing you will see!!
And, I am working on a way to save current Bizology.Biz members money on their Golden Upgrade! So, now is the time to join. I sell the published version of this program for $697 and the membership version saves you over $400. I continue to use the lessons in Bizology.Biz in my own business. When I realize that things are not going as well as I want, it is because I’m not focused on what I already know. It is all in Bizology.Biz.
But membership opportunities don’t stop with Bizology.Biz I am now offering two additional memberships — one is totally focused on sales. You should take the sales assessment and see how you rate.
http://www.launchingyourdreams.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-t.pl?l=75&c=8743
Once you take the assessment you will receive my free report on how to increase your sales!
http://www.launchingyourdreams.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-t.pl?l=75&c=8743
And then there is the Entrepreneur’s Marketing Report membership. This site gives you marketing reports at an incredible price.
I have set up a 7 day $1.00 trial.
The reports become available via your log-in every two weeks. They are hot topic reports that you will find help you in making your business work better in the area of marketing. It is just $1 to get started and then just $9.00 per month and two reports per month.

Entrepreneurs Need to Build a Sales Process
As an entrepreneur you need to build a sales process for your organization. Like every other part of your operation you have to have a process that works to bring in new leads and convert them into new clients. Having a structured sales method maximizes efficiency, but many entrepreneurs miss or ignore this step. A sales process gives you steps and structure reducing the number of lost sales and giving you the structure for future growth.
There can be many reasons for not putting together a solid sales process. Many business owners feel they are too small to have written operational plans and processes. Or consider it to be busy work, or they don’t feel they have the time. But the reality is that a sales process will save time in the long run and increase the number of clients that you have. The process gives your sales team a structure to follow and process that has been proven over time to work. It makes their job easier and more predictable in the long run. But, whatever your rationale is for not putting together a process now is the time to correct the error and increase sales.
The first step is to evaluate your customers. Think from the customer’s perspective, not from a place of “how do I make the sale” but instead: “what does the customer need to do, need to believe, need to want in order to buy?” By shifting your focus to the customer you shift your sales process too. Take a deeper look at your customer:
- What questions does your customer need to answer in order to buy? What are the problems that they need to solve with your solution?
- For each prospective customer or customer type you need to know what their buying process is. Who makes the decisions for the purchase and who needs to be involved in the buying process? Do you have the right people in the room?
- Where is our client in their buying processes? Is your client a day or two away from signing a contract, or are they still “kicking the tires”?
- What is the next reasonable step they must take? If you can figure out where they are and what it’s going to take to make them buy, then we can find the next logical step for them to take.
- What can we do to get them to take that step? Once we know what our customer needs to do next, then we can figure out what we need to do next in our selling process.
Each step of your sales process should help your client through their buying process. Your process should be answering their questions, solving their problems and be in line with their buying process. Your actions should be designed to empower your client to move through their purchasing steps, otherwise you are spinning your wheels and wasting your energy in a process that will not result in a sale.
When you have meetings with company executives of your prospect you need to be clear about how that meeting fits into the sales process and know exactly what it is that you want your client to do as a result of this meeting. Do not go into any meeting without a plan. Don’t go in “winging it” and hoping that it will result in the right outcome. This is where your sales process and knowledge come into play. Know what you want the meeting to accomplish. What is your goal with the company executives?
- Accept your plan, and continue to the next step in the sales/buying process?
- Move to a second meeting with other team members to provide additional information and better understanding of the benefits to the client.
- Commit to or schedule a time to meet again with you for your recommendations for meeting their needs?
When you have a solid plan of action then you make wise use of your time and that of your prospect. You are not on a hopeful fishing expedition but rather serving your prospect with knowledge, valuable information and real solutions to their problems.
The reality is that the most work happens before the meeting not in the meeting. Spend your time in preparation for the sales meeting. While this may be a lot of work up front it pays off in the long run and saves you time and money. If you fail to know your customer’s buying process and where they are in that process, then you don’t know what actions to take during the meeting that will empower them to continue moving the process forward. Failure to do this results in overall failure and rather than making a successful sale you have unfortunately just had a nice visit.

So, you are an entrepreneur, you thought you were going to be able to do your special craft whether it is massage, or law or car mechanic. Surprise surprise, you are also the chief sales person! Fortunately, believe or not, you are an experienced sales person. You life is comprised of many sales presentations, you just didn’t realize it. Sales may not be your favorite activity but if you are an entrepreneur your life is full of sales presentations every single day. You have “pitched” your ideas to your family, your spouse, your staff, perhaps your board and now you have to figure out the sales process so that you can effectively “sell” your service.
Being present and being prepared are two keys to succeeding.
Before your meeting be sure that you do the research you need to do. It is the step most often skipped in the sales process. The successful sales person is one that looks over prepared and has a wealth of information at their finger tips if they need it. That information comes from their preparation in advance and their research. Be ready to use the information that you have gathered. Have it in an easy accessible and organized format. This gives you the statistics, stories etc to back up your proposal.
Use resources such as articles, photographs and reports to provide additional support of your sales presentation. The masterful sales person accesses the information they need at the moment that they need it. If during your presentation you assess the situation and the articles are not needed don’t pull them out just because you have them. Using resources inappropriately can totally derail your sales process.
The most powerful part of any sales presentation is the “WIIFM” or – the “What’s in it for me?” This has to be the focus of your sales presentation. You are serving the client. You have to meet their needs and solve their problem. Telling them the features, bells and whistles of your product or service will only bore them and possibly lose you the sale. But focusing on their needs, their problems and how you solve them answers their “WIIFM” questions. Now they are listening and interested. This is the “why of your presentation and while it does not guarantee a “yes” to your proposal it does open the door and give you the possibility of “yes” rather than a closed door.
We are each sales people. From childhood through adulthood we are selling our ideas to each other. Somehow when you are actually “selling” a product or service the feeling shifts to one of sales person and your product becomes “snake oil” and you start feeling uncomfortable. Recognizing your life long sales person skill can help you to shift into the positive flow of serving your prospects, providing them real world solutions to the problems they are facing. Congratulations you are one of the great sales people!

Have you had a chance to visit the Entrepreneur’s Marketing Mentor yet?

It has incredible proven five-step process and advanced marketing program that doubled my profits in just 45 days. I still thank my online mentor on a regular basis for showing me how easy it is to make more money with less work.
As small business owners, our most valuable asset is time. While we enjoy our work and the businesses that we’ve created, we can’t let it run our lives. Our families and the people we care about come first, and that’s how we need to organize our time.
Like you, I was once constantly disappointed by the performance of my business, despite the long hours I spent working myself into the ground. I knew I needed to apply the entrepreneurial skills and vision I used to start my business to save it.
My ultimate goal was always financial freedom; I wanted to create a business that could run itself, without needing me working in it on a daily basis. I wanted the kind of financial success that would give me the freedom to live the lifestyle my family and I had always dreamed about. Now, thanks to my online mentor, I have it and I want to show you exactly how I did it.
I enjoy seeing other business owners find success in their endeavors, and so I started this website to share my success story and walk you through the five-step process. I hope that by seeing how easy it was for me to turn my financial future around, you’ll be inspired to do the same.
Our advanced marketing strategies have helped dozens of small business owners change the way they approach marketing and start making real money, and it can make you rich too.
If you would like to find out more about the five-step process just visit our free website:
http://www.entrepreneursmarketingmentor.com/blog
We will be sending out a series of tips and suggestions to help you start building your business, plus links to some audio resources that you may be interested in. If you’re not interested in receiving emails from us, just click on the link at the bottom and you’ll never hear from us again!
We understand how overwhelming small business ownership can be, so if you have any questions, please email us at info@EntrepreneursMarketingMentor.com
Cheers!
Donna Price

PS – If you think you’d benefit from some extra hand holding and one-on-one advice, you may be interested in our mentorship program.
This easy-to-use, step-by-step program walks you through the five-step process and explains in detail how you can execute the advanced marketing strategies we have used to build highly profitable businesses. Of course, you’ll also gain access to all the tools, templates, checklists and guides that we use on a regular basis. It’ll seem like we’ve done most of the legwork for you!
My mentor and I have worked to create an interactive online program that you can implement at your own pace, during times that are convenient for you. We’ve done everything we can to make the program a great value – you can become a member for just $97 a month – and packed in all the tools, tips, hints and insider secrets you’ll need.
It’s the kind of program I wish I had discovered way back when I first started struggling with my business, because it would have saved me years of wasted money, time and frustration.
As a member, you’ll receive weekly e-classes directly into your inbox where you can read and work through them wherever and whenever you like, and as often as you like. The e-classes are designed so you can fit them into your schedule where it is convenient, instead of having to work your schedule around fixed date seminars and workshops across the country.
You’ll feel like most of the legwork has been done for you and be able to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having the support and guidance you need to be successful.

Change is one of the ways to move into a new realm of success. You could be stuck in a routine that is not working, that hasn’t been working but is safe and familiar. By making some key changes in your business you could break through. One area that can change is your overall organization: by de-cluttering and streamlining your business. Is your business organized? Could it affect your level of success? Or is your business just organized in a sense that has worked for you up to now?
For some organization comes naturally. If that is the case for you, I encourage you to look at small changes that you can make that can help you to make a shift in your business. Getting yourself organized is not necessarily a fun thing to do. It facilitates a smoothly business operation. It can feel like menial work – shuffling papers, recording of services, hours, products, inventory, monitoring calendars, appointments, bookkeeping, etc.
The view that this type of work is menial or grunt work can get in your way. As a small business owner, you know that you have to be a “Jack of all trades”, at least for a while. Knowing your systems and business becomes an asset to you as you grow your business and outsource these tasks. It is all the reason why some businesses fail while others succeed.
Organization can fall by the wayside, especially when business is busy. But setting up systems to keep yourself organized, helps to keep you on track. From the beginning, you can set up an organized system, but if you haven’t done it yet, now is a GREAT time to do it.
Shifts in organization can free up time and resources for you. But it can also be the shift in your operations that takes your business to a new level. Don’t abandon the notion of organization. If the current time is too busy, be sure to prioritize it when you have some free moments. Think of it as a strategy of success – a way to find time, money and other resources within your business. Saving money can be one of the factors that takes your business to a new level of profitability. If you are at a slow point in your business, rather than feeling bad, seize this opportunity for building a new infrastructure in your company.
That positive attitude, gives you the insight into your business, that this slow time is actually an opportunity for building foundation, structure and systems that will maintain your business in the long run. The current economy has slowed buying in many arenas. People need compelling reasons to buy. Having your systems in place, your marketing message clear, and your customer service at the high “wow” factor you are positioning your business for high sales. You stand out from the crowd and are able to take your business higher. What steps can you take today that will enhance your business operations? Take one step today that increases your organization, and then another tomorrow.

Lots of money get invested into a business, and when putting it for sale, good managerial skills are required to really make profit from the transaction. With any business for sale, the risk is of not getting less money than you have invested into it. Therefore, the process requires a lot of planning, up to one year in advance. There should be an inventory of all the assets, and the financial statements should be analyzed and verified by professionals.
The transfer of a business for sale should further involve a finality in certain contracts, particularly when they involve equipment leases or returns. In case there are special agreements with business partners, the manager should check whether the contracts can be continued with the novel owner or not. A business for sale depends on transparency in all departments, with the mention that the corporation guidelines have to be passed on to the company that takes over.
Sellers have all the intention of putting up an image of success with every business for sale. But the legitimate question will come: why sell? All sorts of reasons can determine people to sell their business, and it doesn’t have to be associated with financial problems necessarily. Most transactions take place at corporate level and the main objective of such business moves is to increase productivity and money efficiency. Otherwise, a smaller business for sale may be more expensive to buy than to build.
Entrepreneurship has become a relevant occupation in our times. Statistics indicate that more and more people choose forms of self-employment instead of working for corporations. Therefore, owning a business could make a difference in terms of financial security. Purchasing a business for sale that has a good operational level makes it easier to get loans from financial institutions. The lending process goes a lot more smoothly in such cases than it would with a business you build from scratch.
Among the advantages that come with a business for sale, we should also mention the higher rate for success. In normal conditions, a business that you start on your own becomes profitable only within two years after launch. Pros and cons can be found when it comes to a business for sale as well as to a start up. It all depends on what business you want to buy, what money you have to invest and how deep a financial analysis you can make to decide that the deal is good and profitable.
