Generating sales referrals and repeat business is necessary to expand your business and ensure the success of sales professionals. At times, the importance of sales referrals is often overlooked or not emphasized enough. This can be the difference between top producers and over performers versus under performers and those who comes close to attaining their goals.It is important to acknowledge and recognize your clients regularly especially those that gives you the most business. These clients can be referred to as your ‘gold clients’ and should be given attention and treated with care (all clients are important).

I believe that as human beings, we are adept in creating convincing language that allows us to rationalize an action or non-action to ourselves and others. We become masterful in presenting a logical sounding viewpoint that successfully defends our position to procrastinate. In this way, we give ourselves permission to step into avoidance, despite the results we say we want!
Having a game plan with action steps can foster procrastination. Over time we develop an automatic patterned response to change, convinced that what we are doing is moving us forward. In reality, we’re just playing the same old game, creating the illusion of moving forward. Bottom line – get real, get honest with yourself.

If you think that giving workers what they want means giving them extra high wages, lots of free time, and no pressure, think again. Giving that to the people who work for you probably won't have an ounce of effect on productivity.But there are things that workers want that you can deliver and that will make a difference. Here are some of them.Workers want to be treated fairly. They want fair compensation, not necessarily the highest salaries around, but fair relative to other people they know who do similar work.Workers also want to be treated fairly compared to how they perform. In a fair workplace, the consequences match the performance. Good performers do better. Poor performers get reprimanded and get better or leave.Workers also want a fair shot at doing a good job. Make sure your people

An allegation of harassment in the workplace is a growing phenomenon facing companies across the U.S. The following is an article derived from a 2003 seminar I attended at the National Business Aviation Association {NBAA} Convention in Orlando, FL. The full name of the seminar was – Indecent Proposal in the Workplace – An Overview of Workplace Harassment & Employer Liability. The seminar was presented by Patricia Griffith and Ellen Ham of the Law Firm of Ford and Harrison in Atlanta.True to its billing, attorneys Griffith and Ham gave real life examples of harassment issues companies are dealing with today. Griffith noted that juries are awarding large settlement sums against companies as juries perceive a certain amount of workplace arrogance being displayed by corporations. The attorneys defined workplace arrogance as

As a small business owner do you:
1. Keep saying you’re going to do something and don’t follow through? Saying one thing and doing something else? The intended action continues to exist in the future as a goal, always out of reach without being fully actualized. The dangling carrot.
2. Prioritize other things first before you can get to what you say you really want? Somehow the starting time keeps getting pushed back. Are you a yesbutter? Yes, I want this but.. Yes I’m excited to get going on this, but… yes but…, yes but
3. Overextend (over commit) so much of your time you never quite get to some things because you’re too busy? Some people think scheduling is just a time management problem.
