Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
Like we have any choice. It’s snowing hard here in the great white north but I did make it to a breakfast meeting this morning related to our local chamber of commerce.
Before the meeting I was able to listen to one of the ladies talk about her business challenges in obtaining clients closer to her home. She said she has access to a good prospect list but has neither the time nor the desire to make the one on one presentations, and in fact has been thinking of using a telemarketing company.
“Perfect” I am thinking to myself, “this is a great opportunity for this small business person to take that prospect list and create very interested prospects and turn them into local clients through a systematized approach using an Ask Campaign and a TeleWebcast seminar, my specialty. I was just starting my elevator speech when we had to start the meeting so she gave me her card and we will talk soon. In fact I already have demo web pages set up to show her how it works.
I am continually amazed at the opportunities that are around us every day – we just have to be open and willing to stretch ourselves out of our comfort zone at times.
Time to make a snowman! Stay warm, or cool if you are so lucky.
