Model Success to Be A Success

Years ago, the older generation frequently used the expression “the shoemaker’s children have no shoes”. The saying implies the shoemaker is so busy helping everyone else, he ignores his children.  Times have changed but the saying still holds a truism even if you have an online business or are searching for an interview and job.

Have you ever encountered someone claiming they are a makeup artist but they themselves look tired and haggard, or another who is a nutrition consultant who looks like she could use some consulting herself?  The underlying marketing message from these entrepreneurs is “I don’t have my craft together so don’t use me.”  

When you are in sync with words, actions and deeds including how you model what you offer – you have the foundation for your brand in place.  This is vitally important for people to trust and be attracted to you.  Your business development is dependent upon this.

Likewise when you enter interviews and say you are a salesperson, hiring managers would expect you to conduct a lively conversation and be a story-teller because that is precisely what successful salespeople do.

Prior to your next business appointment, consider what you are currently modeling, past feedback and if anything needs to be tweaked.  Put your goals, vision and plan of action into a very positive step forward. This is your chance to become the leader in your field to attract more prospects, clients, sales or the right job.  Should you be thinking a new vision, plan of action and alliances are in order for you to succeed further, then please consider our Business Retreat coming up May 4-7.  

We always strive to help you achieve the Smooth Sale!
