Final Four....survive and advance

Sean Carpenter's post at Carp's Corner brings into the fact that everyone in sales has the same theory as the NCAA Basketball Teams going into the Final Four : Survive and Advance".


How can you approach your business with a “survive and advance” mentality?

• Focus today on lead generating activities until you have secured an appointment.
• Pre-qualify your customer so you are well prepared for your appointment.
• Show up on time, dressed professionally and show them how you are prepared to help them achieve their real estate goals.
• Confidently overcome objections and walk away with a listing, priced properly at a full fee.

QVC...the show must go on..............

From TIME.com


On QVC, the show — and the sale — must go on.

When a QVC guest host collapsed on live television, her co-host continued to hawk their product while propping up his associate’s unconscious body. During Sunday night’s sales, QVC host Dan Hughes was joined by QVC guest host Cassie Slane. The duo was trying to sell a kid-friendly Android tablet, but midway through the live broadcast, Slane clutched her chest and fainted. Without skipping a beat, the QVC camera cut to a a shot of the product. Meanwhile, Hughes, the professional pitchman, asked if Slane was okay, and then continued to tout the FunTab Pro tablet’s merits. QVC’s Carolyn Gracie replaced Slane and finished the segment with Hughes.

Boomer job seeking habits..................

Baby Boomers. Interestingly enough, the children of the ’60s are using social networks, especially LinkedIn, more than other generations for their job search — 29 percent, compared to 23 percent of Gen Y and 27 percent of Gen X. Also somewhat surprising, the Boomers are the most likely to conduct an online job search, though the vast majority of all job seekers do so — 96 percent of Boomers, compared to 92 percent and 95 percent of Gen Y and Gen X, respectively. Boomers, it seems, may be slightly more likely to search online for jobs because they’ve been unemployed longer, and the kinds of jobs they tend to seek (corporate, well-paid) are found at job boards and other online sources. Baby Boomers also take more pains to prepare for job interviews than the younger generations: 85 percent of Boomers take the time to view the company’s website before interviewing, and 64 percent search for news related to the company beforehand, compared to 78% and 58% for Gen X and 71% and 53% for Gen Y. Again, the need for better preparation may be related to the kinds of jobs Boomers are applying for, in which a solid understanding and interest in the business is required before being hired.

All Star Performance...................

Last night during a dinner out with friends an oyster shooter clog one of WPDGNEWARK's avid reader's airway, as they stood up another person sitting at our table recognized the sign of what was happening. Quickly jumping from their seat the Heimlich Maneuver was performed, the air way unclogged and dinner and fun was had by all during the next three hours.
