Are You An Engine Or An Anchor?

Engine Or Anchor herunterladen?

I love the use of analogies. One of the prime examples I use is a owner of a contracting company as being the captain of a ship. As the leader you may find yourself heading towards “stormy business weather.” This storm is approaching as your sales revenue is lower than your overhead, field labor and material costs can substantiate windows xp language pack german download kostenlos. When this happens, you start to take on water. (Go into debt) Soon the whole ship is in danger of sinking.

When you finally wind up in the worst part of the storm the telltale signs are all around you as the captain tolino bücher im ausland herunterladen. The rain of phone calls from vendors looking to collect on what you owe or the lightning of your having to consider a loan, line of credit or even take money out of your own pocket, just to make payroll this week are just a few of the signs that your ship is indeed in trouble facebook bilder downloaden.

Selling the Brand of You

If you were around in the 80’s like I was, maybe you remember the “generic brand” at your local grocery stores nachrichten herunterladen.

I’m talking about the plain white packages with only black block letters and a bar code on them.

Those black block letters spelled out things like BEANS, BEER, COLA… and who could forget LUNCH LOAF android 6.0 herunterladen.

It’s not the most loafappealing product name, but you could probably argue that “Lunch Loaf” is no less appetizing than the word “Spam.”

A far cry from all the cool brand names and catchy slogans we’re used to, the marketing strategy behind the generic craze back in the day, was simply to be cheap flash videos download firefox.

That’s it. Low price. That was the only goal, and it was also the only competitive advantage this brand had.

Today the generic brand is gone, but in its place are numerous private label store brands hidrive dateien herunterladen. And if you asked most consumers, you’d find that the majority of them believe that their local grocer’s  “private label” store brand is of equal if not better quality than the national brand herunterladen.

Many recent studies have shown that private label products are growing at a steady pace, and in the grocery business, private label brands now account for a lion’s share of the grocery business prozentrechner herunterladen.

Think about how you shop. When you buy eggs, do you feel like you have to buy a major brand? Or are you just as happy with the store brand? If you’re like most people, you’re perfectly happy to buy the eggs with your local store’s logo on it instead of the national brand.  In fact, because it’s local it may be MORE trusted as well herunterladen.

All the egg and lunch loaf conversation aside… you’re probably wondering how this applies to you as a contractor.

The same principles that have turned numerous companies in other industries into profitable private label masters can also be applied to service contractors wo kann ich windows 10 downloaden. Continue reading “Selling the Brand of You”

Negative Talk- The Language Of Losers (1)The Problem of Turnover

One of the first questions I always ask new clients who are struggling to get control of their salespeople and increase their results is a very easy one to answer Download fussball manager 2006 full version for free.

Here is the question…

Of the last 10 salespeople to leave, how many of them quit and how many were dismissed or as I like to say “de-hired?”

 

When I listen to sales managers answer that question, I don’t only listen for the words they tell me but also watch how hard it is for them to access this information download ps3 for free.

If a sales manager takes a long time to answer because they can’t remember the last time a sales person left the company, I know they have a turn-over problem such as open office.

Not enough, turn-over that is. Continue reading “Having a Turnover Problem?”
