Do you think you are a good listener? Do you listen with an open mind or with your own opinion safely tucked away? Do you listen more than you talk? Be honest. If you have answered ‘No’ to any of these questions, you could be dangerously close to a judgemental label plus, this could be holding you back professionally. When a client is talking to you, practice good listening. Be in the moment. Be present. Absorb what they are saying. Look into their eyes, don’t compare their e

You hear me talk of connection time and time again. It’s what makes the world go round. Without it nobody would meet each other, nothing would happen, the universe would not move forward! You may remember my Connection Cycle also? In business its crucial to connect. I connect every day and the ‘strategy’ is an action plan to achieve a particular goal. Without a strategy, a surgeon could kill someone. Without a strategy, Crystal Palace wouldn’t have managed another year in the

Take the ‘Come Rain or Come Shine Test… Reaching out to more than one target market can be difficult. If you have a service, product or business that can cross over world views. When I say that, I mean you may have a dry cleaning service, a taxi company, a hairdressing salon, an insurance company or you may sell a product for the home – either way you are reaching out to a varied target market and hoping that a huge cross section of people respond to what you are selling. The

When writing a blog, it sounds obvious but first things first is knowing what is it that you want to say and how you are going to say it. Are you offering valuable information? Explaining something? Writing a response to another article? Making a point? Referencing? Reviewing? Either way, knowing and having a clear idea how you would like to present is key. If you follow these basic tips, you will organically begin to elaborate and your articles will become more confident, un

Could you attach a photo to your post, of a model and have them standing there with their ‘thumbs up’ and a cheesy grin? Stop! 2. Are you hard selling? It won’t work. 3. Do you sound like a Daz advert from 1984? 4. Are you offering the viewer anything exciting? Show them then! 5. Has anyone other than y

It actually doesn’t matter if you are selling houses or makeup, a plumber or business consultancy, what matters is how you are selling it and to whom. How? Do you live, breath and dream what you are selling? If not, it probably won’t sell (as well). Good marketing comes from ‘being’ the consumer.
