Keeping in contact...or how's your marketing going?

How's your marketing going?  Do you have a list of potentials in your pipeline?  Or are you just winging it and hoping businesses will contact you?  Maybe it's time to systemise your client contact process...

Client Contact System

Are you yawning already?  Thinking you have to purchase some special, spendy, software to do the job for you? Yes, that was just my reaction until I created a simple system that works perfectly!  (Goodness it sounds like a sales pitch).

I'll readily admit, my own client contact system, until recently, was a series of very handy sub-folders in my Outlook Express account.  All filed very tidily, in date order by year.  It worked well, up to a point...that being I had to open the folders every once in a while...which I did of course.

Tracking where I was with potential clients however was a little more tricky.  There was no obvious way to see exactly where I was in terms of contact aside from following the email trail.

...and another reminder that it's all our own responsibility!

How strange (or maybe not, and I needed the reminder!) that two newsletter lists I'm subscribed to post the same message essentially on the same day...Monday this week?

The Strangest Secret

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we

I don’t believe you, so I’m going to do it anyway...

A fantastic reminder from Nic Askew of Soul Biographies that WE are in charge of our own perceptions about what we can be in life...
