Make it happen
It takes a real enthusiast and great dedication. Many people put great plans together and then run out of steam. Then you can sit back and watch your competition doing it for you.
Test your zest
Be that enthusiast. Get out and see what people think.
Network!
Networking takes time. You probably need to meet and talk to someone four to six times before they get to like you, begin to trust you and work out what you can do for them.
Sell
Make sure you have the right people saying the right things about your products and services. Give them the right systems. Make sure they are equipped to build long term relationships with your existing and future customers.
Training, presentations, brochures, telemarketing scripts, a good web site.
You have to get out there fast, meet people, use customer recommendations and listen.
Capture your leads, make notes of conversations.
Make it easy for customers to order and make sure they feel looked after and keep them well informed.
