Angela Chatham posted a blog postAre You Listening More Than You Speak When You Meet With Prospects?
I once had a meeting with a lead salesperson who thought he knew it all. He came off very arrogant. He kept telling me, or more like pushing his ideas. He would not listen to what I was trying to accomplish, our pain points, or how our workflow went in the office. He kept insisting on how they did things and that his product was going to work great. However, he would not go into details and explain specifically how his product resolved our particular issues. His explanation, "it would not be a…See More

Angela Chatham posted a blog postHow to Create a Referral Blurb
If you are in need of referrals, then create a referral blurb. This is a prepared e-mail template that you can send to associates and partners for them to forward to people they know that could perhaps benefit from your services. By supplying the e-mail, you are not putting the burden on the person you are asking to give you a referral to take the time to create an e-mail to send. As you know, everyone is busy, so the easier you make it for someone, the more chances you have of them actually…See More

You took the time to go to a networking event and now you have a pocketful of business cards. Most of the time you toss them on the table and never look back. Or, you reach out once and give up. You wonder why you even bothered to go to the event. You talked to a lot of great people, but you don’t feel it helped you get any closer to obtaining clients.To get the full benefits of going to a network event, you must do the work required after attending the event!

Angela Chatham posted a blog postMoney is Not The Reason to Work
I am a whole-hearted believer that whether you work as an employee or business owner that your overall motivation should not be working to just make money. Money will not bring you fulfillment. There has to be more to the “why” you work in your chosen profession. We spend more time in a given day working than we do any other activity. If you are going to work, why not discover and do work that you enjoy and brings fulfillment? You can have both. You do not need to settle.We are fulfilled when…See More

Group LeaderKent Julian said… - Hi Angela,
I try to take time each week to welcome new members to 48Days.Net. So, let me say "welcome" to you! I know you will find this to be a great site filled with people who are experiencing true success in both life and work.
Also, I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!
Finally, if you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out these two groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place:
* Speak It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Speakers!
* Write It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Writers!
Again, enjoy 48Days.Net. It's a great place to be!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian
