"Ya gotta love technology" We hear people say that all the time ... but you really do.... just think about it:

    What if the next time a prospect visits your website, they click on a link, fill out a form which emails you, updates your database, sends them the     information they requested, while depositing the fee into your bank account, adding them to your newsletter list and scheduling a customer             service call ... all while you are having coffee with an important client.

    It's not that long ago, those of you who know me for a few years, remember that I was using acetate sheets and an overhead projector to do my presentations and seminars ... "well look at us now!" Webinars, Streaming Video, Audio uploads all thanks to Technology.

This is one of those areas of business that if you are not staying informed and up to date, you are probably falling behind the competition. I understand budgets are tight, but my guess is you are not taking full advantage of the technology you already own. Most of are not using it to its fullest potential.

Stay informed, get up to date ideas and information to help you make smart decisions about your technology needs in our upcoming strategy training session on June 3rd on Smarter Technology solutions for small business owners ... it will keep you up to date and give you tips and ideas on how to be much more efficient using what you already have.

While everyone else seems to be talking doom and gloom, some small business owners are having their best year ever!

Why? They realized that going after new leads in the traditional manner, doing the same things they had always done, just wasn't going to get the job done this year.

Times are tough ... they decided to work smarter and called us (Smarter Small Business)  to see how we might be able to help.

In one case we discovered that while they already had been doing a lot of things right, they were wasting a lot of money on trial and error marketing. So we went to work on implementing our strategic alliance strategies to help them get more qualified referrals who were actually looking for a reputable company who provided their types of services.

We developed a pro-active referral system whereby their clients and alliances or referral partners were motivated to refer their clients to them. It worked beautifully and now not only have they more business than they ever dreamed but they have stopped wasting all that money on marketing that was not working!

Can you do this same strategy ... yes! Developing Strategic Alliances who will refer you business on an ongoing basis can be one of the most powerful marketing strategies for any small business or independent sales professional.

All too often small business owners are frustrated with the amount of, or the quality of the referrals they get from their so called "Referral Partners".  This happens because normally we find that the business owner has no system in place to find, develop and mange strong Alliance Partners. Learn how to implement this powerful strategy in our June Conference on Tuesday June 3rd, or give us a call to see how we might be able to help you. 760-602-9321 Ext. 111 To register for this strategy training session click here
