Winning New Business

Next wednesday night, August 29th, in Sydney I'll be speaking at Microsoft to buisness owners and developers on how to win new business. Craig Bailey organises a user group and invites speakers to come address his group on a range of topics. Go to www.sbtug.com for more details.

There is a lot of garbage written about branding, stategic marketing and aligning your vision to the vision of your clients. My session want address any of that. It will be focussed on what works when it comes to winning new business.

What doesn't work

  1. Sitting in your office looking at spreadsheets and waiting for customers to call you
  2. Spending time with poor collaborators (technical term for bullshitters)
  3. Procrastination or blaming others for a lack of new clients

What will I be talking about

  1. The power of effective networking and the S.M.I.L.E technique
  2. Specialisation - deeper knowledge versus wider- where is your expertise?
  3. Getting advancements from a meeting as opposed to continuations
  4. High NRG levels and why they are so important to winning new business
  5. Exceeding the client or potential clients expectations

Hope you can make it.

There's some wisdom here. A few spelling mistakes but with efficient use of time, that happens.

I like the term MEGAphone effect.

Keep it coming. And what was the name of that cafe? I'll keep clear myself!

Thanks for the comments MEGA. Have you got a blog yet? I think with the type of work you are doing it would make very interesting reading. The cafe is on clovelly road in north randwick.I suggest avoid it at all costs.

The only part of this game will require you to pay SOF gold but they are optional for you to choose in the premium store. The Gameim.com is offering you with Scions Of Fate money and all kinds of cheap game gold. Scions Of Fate gold is sometimes need to pay for in this Scions of Fate game. For example in this game, we have to buy sof gold to exchange premium in order to protect our character. One very common item bought with cheap SOF gold at the store would be a pet.
