Take a Look at Executive Coaching

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Companies often enlist the services of a Coach in order to:

  • Assist newly appointed personnel in learning, progressing, and generating results more quickly.
  • Assist existing top-level managers with leadership development, self-motivation, communication, and personal productivity.
  • Assist existing top-level managers to further develop specific skills, become more effective time managers, and build fruitful relationships.
  • Assist individuals and groups of employees to more effectively deal with increasing change.
  • Assist key personnel with work/life balance and job satisfaction.
  • Coach/train groups of team members to achieve maximum team synergy, customer satisfaction levels, productivity, and results.
  • Produce more dynamic and better-performing teams so that companies may retain their employees longer, rather than lose them through disillusionment or from the effects of stress.
  • MetrixGlobal, LLC a Fortune 500 telecommunications firm reported a ROI of 529% based on survey of 43 leadership development participants. They also found the financial benefits from increased retention raised the overall ROI to 788%.
  • The Xerox Corporation showed that in the absence of follow-up coaching 87% of the skills change brought about by the training program was lost. However good skills’ training is in the classroom, most of its effectiveness is lost without follow-up coaching. For example: Most sales people try out the new skills for a few calls, find that they feel awkward and the new method isn’t bringing instant results, so they go back to their old ways.

Resurrecting Old Leads

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
Leads, all businesses rely on leads. Whether the leads are collected by the business or a third party, they are an integral part to all sales. More often than not I have come to realize that a large portion of leads initially showed interest in my services, but for some reason failed to complete the sales process and become a client.

Once you have developed a sizeable leads database it is very important to re-approach these people on a regular basis. Sometimes it’s only about timing, is this the right time for your product or service?  In many cases a lead that shows strong interest in your product or services may fall out of the sales process prematurely. The reasons are often very simple and easy to overcome by just a little effort on your part. Many times people may miss a phone appointment with you and then feel embarrassed about contacting you because of it. You can remove the embarrassment factor by simply placing a phone call to them and by showing them two things; a genuine concern for them and a willingness to move forward with the process regardless of any past issues. Reconnecting with this lead can most definitely lead to a sale.

Another aspect that often hinders leads from moving forward in a process is the sudden onset of a major life issue. Sometimes they will communicate this with you and sometimes they won’t. These leads may need time to settle their issues. By placing a phone call or sending an email a month later to check on their progress is a great way to reconnect. Often I have been told by people that they were too busy to think about it at that time, but they are still very interested and glad that I contacted them, timing is everything.

New leads are also a very important part of any sales process, but many business people over look the potential of the leads they have already collected. In my experience I have found that by reconnecting with leads from the past, I have had a .2% recovery rate, a better rate than with most direct mail campaigns. Here are five key steps to reconnecting with past leads in order to make the sale.

  • Keep a database to track your leads
  • Take proficient notes about the lead
  • Develop a system for following up with all prior leads regularly
  • In your follow up remind them of the offer
  • Add a personal touch to your follow up, something that you previously discussed (child off to college, spouse starting new job)
