Sweepstakes Making B2B Marketers Winners
During the past couple of months, I spent considerable time researching the use of sweepstakes in the B2B software market.Software marketers tend to stay away from sweepstakes. There is a good reason for this. Last year, 1,900 B2B marketers surveyed by “MarketingSherpa” rated sweepstakes as one of the least effective means of generating high quality leads.But because the use of sweepstakes is a powerful tactic to convert prospects into customers, I tracked down which sweepstakes B2B marketers are using to make their jobs easier.Before I reveal the specific type, let me tell you why sweepstakes are such a powerful tactic, and why you need to consider them.3 Reasons Why Sweepstakes Pack the Power to Convert Prospects into Customers QuicklyFirst, sweepstakes take advantage of our culture’s trance with games of chance. For the past 20 years or so, we’ve been seeing a marked increase in people gambling, playing the lottery, 50-50 raffles, sweepstakes, and many other games of chance.Second, in a complex sales pi

Fears and Other Things That Stop Us

There is nothing wrong with having self-doubt. Self-doubt can be highly appropriate if we’re weighing up our skill to perform a certain task, or wondering if we can do something in a better way than what we have in the past, or if we’re considering some feedback we’ve been given and wishing to determine whether we did indeed make a mistake of judgement or behave in a less than glorious way! If we lost our ability to doubt ourselves, to make judgements on our thoughts or actions, we’d find it difficult to function as a competent adult!

So that type of self-doubt is not a problem. What certainly is a problem, because it paralyses us and detracts from our quality of life, is the negative emotion or even pain that might accompany even appropriate self-doubt.

This other side of self-doubt, the shamed, humiliated, inferior, inadequate, stupid, dumb, hopeless, helpless, hapless feelings, those are a problem because they prevent us thinking logically and they prevent us from making good choices. And it’s not just our problem, is it? When we’re like that we’re not fun to be around. We bri

Energizing Synergy
Would you like to have more energy and synergy in your job and career? If you are not enjoying work the way you used to and if you would like to contribute in a manner that produces more results with less effort, then Energizing Synergy is what you need to cultivate.Be honest with yourself for a moment and answer the following questions: Are you energized or drained at the end of a workday?Are you out of sync with the business direction the company is taking, and do you understand the business rationales for any new changes?Do you do your part to promote an upbeat and positive work environment?Are you constantly learning at work? ENERGYEnergy is the effort you vigorously exert to accomplish a task or to do your work. When you come to work tired or in a bad mood, you exhibit low personal energy that impacts others in the office. One does not have to be in the workforce too long before coming across someone who is an energy drainer--perpetually down or negative. Energy

How To Best Target Potential Medical Staffing Recruits
Each discipline within the medical staffing community has its own quarks and surprices. Knowing who you are calling fundamentally strips away the need to focus on the candidates you really don't need.Are you targeting nurses, radiology techs, MRI techs, nuclear techs, PT techs, LVN's, CNA's, Phlebotomists or Respiratory techs? Are you focusing on a type of license within a discipline or are you in need of just males or females within a licensed medical clinician? Do you have ready shifts" Are you lookin for new grads or experienced clicinians?Each call you make must be made with the goal of closing the deal. That is why knowing who you are calling is so important. I found many medical staffing recruiters use the "Shot Gun Approach" to making phone calls. This technique is flawed in no many different ways within the goal of finding candidates.Many medical staffing managers set minimum phone call goals to the employees they manage. They usually expect the recruiting staff to make a certain numbers of calls a day, make certain number of appointments and hi

Can a Corporate Executive Really Use The Beautiful Mind; To guide decision making?
I would like to comment on the “A Beautiful Mind” movie and the book, which was actually much better. I just finished reading another book on the similar side of John Nashs’ assertion of working together rather than competing against. That book was “Co-opetition.” By Adam M. Brandenburger (Havard guy)and Barry J. Nalebuff (Yale Dude). Many have been aware of such theory for quite a while and practice such occasionally for the betterment of an industry or through the art of diplomacy, sometimes through misdirection and other times as an experiment (nothing more, nothing less) especially when it really does not matter and it is not really core to our direction and market domination strategy for any given region. I would have to differ from the movie version in that if you tried to run your business in the fashion that Jim Nash discussed in theory you might do well for a while, but would eventually get hammered in the market place, whether or not you actually were able to sleep with a brunette when you wanted the blond with the big bust (go see the movie, you will understand that com

A charity portrait event is where you schedule portrait sessions and donate a portion of the proceeds to the charity of your choice.How to do it 1. Choose your charity.2. Contact the charity and describe your proposal.3. If the charity accepts your offer, ask them to send you a letter stating that your portrait event is official.4.

Degrees of confidence and self-doubt are part of our identity or self-image and it’s important to realise that most of our self-image is beyond our conscious control, a huge mass of unconscious, conditioned programming that completely and utterly runs our lives for us. Conditioned programming that for most adults, developed many years ago.

What We Learned Growing Up

“Finish what’s on your plate or you won’t get your pudding!” “You can’t leave the table till you finish your plate!” “Finish your plate – there are children starving in Africa!” “Your mother cooked that and you’ll eat it!”

Who hasn’t grown up hearing that stuff at least a million times! No wonder it’s almost impossible for a grown adult to push away a plate with food on it, without guilt.

Or maybe when you were a kid, you heard the old “children ought to b
