Denise Michaels’ “No-fluff, Testosterone-free Marketing Magic Workshop!”

Hello:

Let’s be honest.  It’s almost impossible to have a successful business if you’re not confident.  Business how-tos help – but it also takes a strong sense of self-esteem and lots of enthusiasm.

That cause and effect link between your personal growth and business success led me to write my business bestselling book, “Testosterone-Free Marketing.”

Monday November 2^nd I’m conducting a special workshop for women business owners here in Las Vegas.  It’s about marketing and selling: how to do it successfully and be your authentic self without being pushy or annoying.  And that’s barely scratching the surface.

Discover more marketing and empowerment strategies that will help you achieve any goal, you’ll also  find much more information about the workshop and information to register.

Women who attend will change their business and their lives for the better.  I make this bold claim because the workshop will give you a positive, pragmatic look at your business from a woman’s perspective.  Before lunch you’ll have a strong sense about what you’re doing right. You’ll also know what’s not working and get positive, testosterone-free, non-pushy ways to change it for the better.

Discover more by clicking here now.  I’d love to have you register and join me.

All the best,

Denise Michaels

Why Take the Risk of Liposuction When You Can Have Lypossage?

I have a huge goal. I recently trained in the modality of lypossage (the benefits of liposuction without the risks of surgery), and I have set a goal with my mastermind group to presale 5 lypossage sets, beginning treatment after Thanksgiving, getting a jump start on looking good in the new year.

Some of the benefits of lypossage are:

• It will get lymph and circulation moving
• Reduce toxins through the release of fat cells and cellulite
• Provided manually so it can be adjusted to your comfort level
• Helps create the habits of self-care
• Tightens extra skin from previous weight-loss
• Increase energy levels
• Adds awareness to focus areas, allowing you to correct posture between treatments

I could really use your help, and this is my offer.   Lypossage is $1,895.00 ($105 per treatment), and for helping me reach my goal, I am giving two for one treatments.   For every client you refer me (that pays before Oct 31st), you will get 18 treatments for free. These can be used by you or given to someone you care about.

Please

a) share this eoffer with your friends/family/list

b) call or email me with any questions and or to schedule your treatments.

Thanks so much

Learning to delegate is important for success (re-post from The Register Gaurd)

Learning to delegate important for success

Posted to Web: Sunday, Oct 4, 2009 12:09AM

Question: As owner of a professional services business, I know I should be delegating more of the work to my junior staff. I tend to do too much of it myself. I have more knowledge and experience and frequently can do the work more quickly and reliably. How can I improve this situation?

Answer: Difficulty in delegating tasks can seriously damage a professional services business. It keeps you from focusing on expanding the market for your services or expanding the capabilities of your business. It reduces your potential revenue by wasting the highest level talent on jobs that can be done by lower-paid employees. It also hampers your growth by impeding the development of the skills and knowledge of your employees.

Sure you can do it faster and it is easy to rely on the job you did yourself. But to build your business, you need to foster the growth of your more junior people. Otherwise, the business becomes dependent on too few people. The business can be at serious risk of failure if a key person is incapacitated for some reason such as a prolonged illness.

One way to address the under-delegation problem, which may help in your situation, is to reframe work delegation as a staff training and development process. Prepare a descriptive list of the core competencies for each position on your staff. Evaluate the current status of each employee against that list. Then plan the work experiences that will help each one move toward your goal for his or her position and use that plan as your guide in delegating tasks.

As each project comes in, think through the tasks necessary to complete it. Then assign tasks to specific employees as skills development opportunities. Monitor the employees and helping them do their best on their assignments. Keep a record for each employee of the tasks assigned and his or her increasing competency levels.

While your employees are developing their skills, you will be increasing your confidence in what they can do. In the long run, you will become comfortable with delegation and will be able to focus more on growing your business.

Of course, any approach will not always work 100 percent as planned because projects from your clients do not come in packages neatly aligned with the experience building needs of your staff. But, because you will be refocused on staff development, you can adapt as necessary and you will be more likely to spread the work around to the benefit of your business.

Organize Your Contacts in 5 Easy Steps

All business owners who attend networking events to grow their professional network know how important it is to have access to those connections.  The problem is, without a way to handle all those business cards you collect they are often lost or untraceable when you’re trying to find some particular contact.  That is why we need a way to keep contacts organized and findable.  This will save lots of time and frustration in your business.  Following are 5 steps to keeping your contacts organized and accessible.

1. Do the same thing every time.  After you collect your cards put them together in the same place every time.
2. Use a database.  Whether this is Outlook or your rolodex, have a final landing place for all your contacts.
3. Make them searchable (and findable).  File them in a way you will remember them.  This may be by name, company name or industry.
4. Add them to your online social network.  Google each person’s name with the city they live in.  Their social network will come up.  Follow on twitter and request they join your professional network on LinkedIn and Facebook.
5. Stay in touch.  Pick some mechanism to touch base with them on a regular basis.  Some ways are by phone, email blasts and snail mail.

Follow these 5 easy steps every time you collect new contacts for your network.  You will save lots of time and frustration by being organized and systemized.  You will look more professional and have more confidence.  You will even be motivated to grow your network faster because you know you have the infrastructure to handle the follow-up.

Organizing Your Contacts – Step 1

The first step to organizing your contacts is to put them in the same place every time.  Sounds easy enough.  But let’s break it down a little more.  When you’re out and about meeting and chatting with people and you get their contact info either by business card or by writing it down begin the categorization process right away.  This will look different depending on what your business is.  Here are some examples:

-Potential Client- put “C” or a letter designating what product you think is right for them

-Potential Joint Venture Partner- put “JV”

-Not Sure- leave it blank or put “L” for list

Also mark the card in some way if you need to follow up with them right away.  A star is good for this one.

Now, you’ve got the card in your hand.  Put it away before you put it down or drop it.  This has happened too many times- a great connection is made, the card is set on the stack of papers at the seat, and when everything is picked up cards fall to the floor and they’re easy to miss.  If you’re a lady put them in your purse and alway in the same pocket.  If you’re a man pick a pocket or place in your wallet they will always land.

When you get to your office have an “in box” or “to be entered” spot.  Put them there every time.  That way it will be clear those are the contacts that still need to be processed.  Then whoever is responsible for that data entry will know  to check that spot.  If you use a VA that spot should be an envelope that you mail weekly for timely data entry.  Make sure they know your categories and follow them exactly.  This way you will have a working database of all your contacts at your fingertips once you follow the next step.

Organize Your Contacts in 5 Easy Steps: Step 2

Now you’ve collected a bunch of business cards or entry forms.  You’ve categorized them.  Now what?  Data entry.

Use a database.  There’s no reason not to.  If you’re reading this right now that means you have a computer.  Even if you don’t have or don’t like outlook there are plenty of other options.

Your free email account- yahoo, gmail and all those have places where you can enter all a persons contact info (not just their email).  Some free contact management systems are Thunderbird and WindowsLive.  Both are similar to Outlook.

If you intend on sending out lots of messages also look into services like ConstantContact and Aweber.  If you send your eblasts through these services you won’t get zinged for disobeying any spam regulations.

This is definitely a step you can delegate unless you love data entry and will make the time for it.  Here are the guidelines I use for outsourcing this task:

• They must be able to spell and type
• price it according to volume not time.  The average I allow is 60 or 90 seconds per contact.  So if you want someone to make $25/hr working for you this is at least 40 contacts per $25 ( or per hour).  Tie it to the work performed and not the hours- they could drag the work out.

Doing this step well will save headaches in the future.  Having data entered accurately is extremely important if you intend on using email as a means of communication because one wrong character and that address is useless.  Of course, you won’t know that until things start bouncing.  At that point you’ll have to pay again or waste time yourself fixing errors.

Organize your contacts in 5 easy steps: Step 3

By now you’ve collected new contacts.  The data entry is done (or in progress).  Now to organize them.  All these contacts don’t help a bit if you can’t access them when you want to.  Think about how you categorize people.  When you try to think of someone what comes to mind most easily?  For me, it’s often what they do.  And that is how I categorize my contacts. 

Here are some other helpful ways to categorize your contacts:

• Where you met them
• What industry they’re in
• A group they’re associated with
• What you want to do with them (customer or JV or what)
• Where they’re located (if you work with people in multiple loctions)

Make sure to assign each contact a category and keep it consistent.  This way, you’ll have a system to track down your contacts even when you can’t remember their names.

This is also very useful for communicating wih people in bulk.  You can customize a message for everyone in the category.  The more bulk communication is personalized the better.  Better open rates and better response. 

This will be an ongoing process as you build your network your system will grow.  Work on it (or get it worked on) steadily and you will have a truly valuable resource.

Organize your contacts in 5 easy steps:Step 4

Here’s a quick review of the first 3 steps to organizing your contacts.

1. Do the same thing every time.  After you collect your cards put them together in the same place every time.
2. Use a database.  Whether this is Outlook or your rolodex, have a final landing place for all your contacts.
3. Make them searchable (and findable).  File them in a way you will remember them.  This may be by name, company name or industry.

Now for step 4.  Adding them to your online social networks.  This is a great way to tie it all together so that you really are developing relationships with all the people you’re meeting.

Pick one network to focus on.  The three I use are Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook but Facebook is my favorite so that’s the one I spend the most time learning to use.  I do connect with people if they’re on the other 2 networks but I don’t directly check on those the way I do Facebook.

Once you’ve picked your favorite you are ready to begin sending requests. First, open your profile on your netwrks.  Then the way to find out what social networks your contacts are on is to Google each person’s name with the city they live in.  Their social network will come up.  Open their profile and send the request.  It’s best to personalize these requests otherwise they can come across as spam (that is a good rule of thumb for all social network interaction).  Write something like

“Hi _________,

I’d like to add you to my professional network.

Warmly,

___________________

This way you’ll be connected to all your contacts virtually as well as in real life.  And this will make it easier to do business when and if the time comes.  You will have a repor built and the foundation run deep and strong (if you are working it).

This is another opportunity to delegate/outsource.  A virtual assistant can send these requests out for you and devote the time to personalizing each request so you don’t delay getting it done.  Remember,  this is a part of an ongoing system.  You can be caught up but you will never be done so set this as another ongoing project for your business.

New Year and New Stuff

Image via Wikipedia

Right now I am sitting here eating my eggs, spinach and beans (just remembered the beano) and trying to whip through my computer stuff so I can get to AVN/AEE.

Since this is the first week of the new year I have been doing everything I can to put my plans into effect as far as my New Years Resolutions/Goals.  Some things have been going good.  Some not so good.

I was inspired to try Tim Ferriss’s slow carb diet in the 4 Hour Body book he wrote.  It’s been surprisingly easy but I’m not sure I’m doing it right.

I joined with a power partner for the first 100 days of the year and that has been really good – we meet at the gym as well as hash through our stuff.

I have been sticking to my meditation… 20 mins in the morning and 20 mins at night a la Wayne Dyer method.  I got really creative with the carrot and stick on that one and it’s kept me to it (if you want to know what my carrot and stick are you’ll have to ask me).

What I wanted to do but haven’t

- blog.  For my new biz.  That is the most time consuming.

-market.  Posting ads on all the free places for stuff I have coming up

I haven’t made time for it.  I was inspired to put it on my list but haven’t been inspired enough to do it…to make time for it.  I feel like I’ve wanted to do it but not bad enough to make it happen.  Hmmm…

I see I need to not beat myself up for the few things I haven’t done and celebrate those I have.

Wish me luck at AVN/AEE.  I’ll be tweeting about it from my twitter account @702sexcoach.
