2 New services: Virtual Sales Manager and Total Salesforce Outsourcing

1) Virtual Sales Manager: Don’t have a sales manager but have staff that needs to be trained and managed? Try out virtual sales manager service. Get all the pluses of a real sales manager at a fraction of the cost.
2) Total Salesforce Outsourcing. Want a sales staff, local or nationwide but don’t have the time or expertise to put it in place. Try this one. We will sit down with you, over the phone and go over YOUR numbers to see if it is a cost effective alternative option for your company.

Supplier Management for Back End Control

I spend so much time pushing goods and services that sometimes I forget to look at the shelf to see if it is full or not.

During a recession managing relationships on the supplier side can take on a different tone. If a key supplier goes out of business you could be in trouble. As a buyer you need to work with your existing suppliers during these tough times, while at the same time developing alternative sources of needed goods and services for a worst case scenario.

I have been a big advocate… Continue

Keeping Happy Returning Customers

How do you keep your customers happy and returning time and time again?

If you are able to maintain regular communication with all your customers you are maintaining the most critical part of a successful relationship. You need to engage with them in order to provide value that goes beyond just your product or service. One way is to create forums where your customers can come and discuss experiences while you participate. This can be done face to face or online. The technology is out there.… Continue

Direct Mail Works When The Target Is Gone

Direct mail has a cost that you need to be able to handle in this recession, and it is easy to put snail mail and park it as a bad way to market but I beg to differ.

Experience shows that many B2B marketing campaigns actually have a better ROI (Return On Investment) than an email campaign when done as a standalone unit. E-Mail is less expensive so why? Consider this first direct mail lists are more plentiful and generally cleaner that an e-mail list you might get.

Second, most of us are still… Continue

Wow...I know the trade show market is down this year. But I was thinking THAT one would at least be big. Incredible. But, just remember...in the trade show arena...ALL tradeshows are booked a year in advance...which means if the economy was bad last year...this year it will suffer. The economy is turning around now and next year will definitely be a good year for trade show interaction.

Howard...thanks for the note. Yes, its always nice to see people who live fairly close to you online.

Do you network locally? You should consider starting your own BusinessIIBusiness chapter there is Palatine. We give you all the tools as well as revenue share.

I've been looking at the back door stats on BIIB and noticed that your profile is getting a LOT of hits. :)

I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I am a little new to this network, but I am excited to be meeting so many new, and positive minded people!

I have been fortunate enough to have obtained a very valuable piece of information, and now I want to share it with you...

(Do not tell your clerk at the laundromat when dropping your clothes off, that they "look like they've gained some weight over the holidays"... you may have a surprise coming)

Just kidding.... I guess I'm a dry humor kind of guy ;) Anyway...

The real piece of valuable information is usually sold at 27$, and has been helping me to expand my business online, Pretty Darn Quick! There is over 80 ways you can market your business in this ebook!

I am offering it to you for free, consider it my gift to you for being a part of this network. And please remember to add me as a friend.

Jennifer is a smart cookie. and she has some great drive to build good networks. I think this should be good too. One day we might turn this whole online networking thing on it's ear and merge it with the physical.
