less time using efficient search and research tools.

4) Build Relationships – Strengthen your network by connecting and establishing trust with decision makers.

TIPS

Fill out your profile 100% complete.

Have a professional profile shot (doesn’t have to cost a lot or anything, but just you, and professional, decent background)

Your profile should show your accolades and the potential you’d bring to a prospective employer.

SSI is a score that measures how well each person utilizes proper social selling practices. You can measure your progress, as well as see the links between your social selling and your performance. It shows how well you have implemented best selling skills practices into your social media strategies on LinkedIn. Once your profile is complete, the more you connect with other decision makers, share great content, and connect with potential prospects, your SSI numbers will likely rise.

In essence, the more you are engaged with social relationship marketing and social selling, the better your results will be.

LinkedIn’s algorithms look at profile completeness when determining your score. Prospective clients many times will look at your score as well. Many times before people buy from you, do business with you, or even contact you or connect with you – they check you out on social media.

You must establish yourself as an expert in your field. It doesn’t mean spending a lot of money, always, but business does take some time and money! But you want to post educational and useable content that helps enrich your followers and guide them to why you are good at what you do, and why they should trust you and believe in what you do.

Posting your experiences and accomplishments is a great way to start. Posting useful and relevant updates, educational, spiritual (if you choose to incorporate this into your business), effective information will reinforce your professional brand. Your prospective clients will turn to you when they need assistance, and your SSI score will shoot up as well.

When you’re viewing people and looking for 2nd or 3rd-degree connections, the right kind will help you to create warm introductions with productive prospects and leads. Use the advanced search features on LinkedIn to give you even better results.

Always look at who has viewed your profile and make sure to engage with them, if appropriate.

Always look for specifically influencers and decision makers – you want to connect yourself with senior level executives—people who can make waves for you when the time comes. Connections with many people is always great, but those who have influence over many others, can help you in business even more.

Think of what interests you, share that, on your wall, in groups that are relevant to your interests…..as you do, many of your prospects and prospective clients that have those same interests, will see you more as an expert, and also help connect you even more with the right people on LinkedIn. Remember to be consistent and share good and educational material.

Building trust in relationship marketing is key to your success. You can enhance your relationship marketing in many ways, texting, phone calls, social media connecting and posting, in person, and sending to keep in touch through the real mail. This will in turn also help you in referrals….instead of asking for them, deserve them – show your connections why you deserve their referrals.

When it comes down to it – it is all about knowing the right people. Don’t just accept everyone that asks. Your SSI score looks at how you are connected with others as well, and how each of you relate to each other. It also looks at when others accept you or not, if you have a lower acceptance rate, your SSI may suffer.

It is also always best to reach out as much as possible. When someone sends me a request, I look at their profile before accepting, to see if I might think that they would be a good fit. I do not randomly accept everyone. Then I send them a message, asking them WHY they want to connect with me. The thing is – you want to add value, but you want others to add value to you as well. Don’t just merely think in the numbers of how many I can have, and how many possible sales that might be. You want the right people, and the right sales.

How long are you going to HOLD THE SECRET about what you do?

If you TRULY BELIEVE it will help you and others, why don’t you SHARE it with everyone you know and love?

Or are you going to simply SHARE it with others, let them decide (not sell), and you will see the MORE you SHARE IT, the more others will say YES (and some no’s) and the more $$$$$ you will make, and the more HAPPINESS you can spread!!!!

What are your REAL LIFE DREAMS? If you had, let’s say $200,000 EVERY SINGLE MONTH coming in…..what would you do with it? Make a list of the things, in DETAIL what you would do with that money – and the money RE-comes back in EVERY month, so the 1st of every month – make that list again, what you are going to spend it on……

Yes at the beginning many people would upgrade their house, their cars, their clothes….but that is *really good money*!!! and it keeps coming back! What else would you do? WHO would you help? People, charities, etc….What kind of AMAZING things could you do for others and accomplish – if you had some help money wise? Think of those things, write it out IN DETAILS, DREAM on PAPER……(just for your eyes, no one else, unless you choose to share it) but WRITE IT DOWN, IN DETAILS, DREAM on that PAPER……and you will find…..if you do it, like I said and then you go to work and share it…….it WILL come TRUE…..

I want to see you, and stand by your side, and cheer you on – of all your hopes and dreams!!!! Many of you I know personally, and you have told me some of your true hearts desires……Let’s get out there and DO IT!!!! It won’t happen as we *sit on the sidelines* and your life is not going backwards, one day we don’t want to say “I wish I……..” — LET’s MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE FOR GOOD IN THE WORLD!!!!

Master Keys To Client Loyalty

Do you send birthday cards to your clients?
Anniversary cards?
What about holiday cards????
Birthdays, anniversaries and holidays are master keys to client loyalty.

This is a simple concept. Your clients will demonstrate dramatically increased client loyalty to you, naturally, when you communicate that you value the importance of their personal and family celebrations.

Does this ring true for you?
With enough loyal clients, any business will exceed its financial goals.

Is there a magic bullet? Yes. Of course. It has been proven over and over again, for 600 years – send your best clients a greeting card.

Basic, but very, very effective.
Then, why is it so difficult to act on this truth?

Because it is a staffing nightmare to organize and execute. Remembering dates, buying cards, writing the message, stuffing, stamping, mailing!!!

It takes determination, but wait….
We have solved the problem.

In fact, this technology did not exist several years ago.
Never again address, stuff, stamp and mail another birthday card.
In less than 60 seconds, enter your client’s basic information online.
As easy as sending an email, except that your client receives a photographic quality greeting card in the postal mail.

The company prints, stuffs, stamps and mails the card.

Choose from over 60,000+ cards. Custom cards are easy to create.
Even upload your current database in mere minutes.
The online data manager never lets you forget a birthday or anniversary.
Send multiple cards as a follow-up campaign, automatically, whenever you say, even months from now.

Add your signature, even use your own handwriting font.
Add a picture or image from your computer – they print it next to your message.

Compassionate client follow-up the easy, effective way.

This works – beyond your expectations.

The Fire and Forget System

(A metaphor for any businessperson who seeks loyal clients & quality referrals.)
Once upon a time, the commander of an F-15E Strike Eagle squadron was issued a warehouse full of *fire and forget* missiles.
Surely, a no-brainer. Simply acquire the contact, launch the missile, then concentrate on the next target.(Like I said, an easy decision.)
Strange as it may seem, the squadron commander decided against employing this massively effective weapons system.
His reasoning?
It takes too much effort to attach those things to the aircraft.

You will recognize that this story, of course, is a fairy tale.
In reality, any manager or business owner (or salesperson) who fails to acknowledge that all business is a type of warfare, just doesn’t get it.
But they will – eventually.

Why in the world would any businessperson leave to chance, whether or not a client decides to return (and refer friends)?

But, we gave them courteous service and a fine product, is the lament voiced too often by good and earnest businesspeople. Without question, service and product are essential to success. But they are not enough. And the statement is a little naive.

The answer obviously is to go after them (your clients). Make sure that they come back, again and again. Make sure that they want to come back (and refer their friends).

Nagging and cajoling won’t work. Postcards, brochures and letters rarely prove effective. The average consumer receives dozens of these each week.
(Personally, I rarely even open the ones I receive. Although, I sometimes read the postcards.)

The 7.5 billion dollar greeting card industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to indoctrinate every living American that those who care enough, send greeting cards.
(Why not take advantage of three decades of their successful, and extremely expensive, advertising stratagem?)

When you send your new or best clients a greeting card they know you care, because the greeting card giants have taught all of us that this is true. And we believe it, without exception.
Nobody leaves a greeting card unopened for long. In fact, studies show that a person is 11 times more likely to open a greeting card than any other piece of mail.

Your customers will respond, naturally, with greater client loyalty toward you, if you do this correctly. (Just as customers have responded since 1400 A.D.)
