Commitment to Success Creates Success
Have you ever noticed when you finally conquer the pile on your desk you feel renewed energy
and motivation kicking in?
What if you were to do this every working day, would it make a big difference in your success?
Commitment comes in all forms, not just wedding ceremonies. Just today, I had a conversation with two other authors about the commitment it takes to build a speaker platform, get known and sell many more copies of your book.
My suggestion for a first step is to take a public speaking class to become an engaging speaker if it doesn’t come naturally. The list of what “should” be done is a very long one. I always recommend to do first what might be achieved most quickly to acquire that feeling of success sooner. Then focus on the areas of interest and importance as you prioritize your list.
I created a handout consisting of 50 tips to help authors increase their audience size and sales potential. Many apply to job hunting and interviewing too. The top tips refer to knowing your audience or hiring company’s goals and then you may bridge what you have to offer to your prospect’s interests. Once you succinctly speak to this guideline, the sale will more easily be made or you will hear HIRED!
The handout was developed specifically for aspiring authors who will be attending the Self-Publishers Online Conference May 10-12, all day. I will be speaking on the how and why to use all media to build your platform and sell more copies of your book(s). Click the link to register and save 10% by including the code: SmoothSale11
Today one of my tweets landed on Facebook which said, “Commit to 10 phone calls per day to increase business”. James responded saying, it’s solid traditional advice that works.
Make your commitment to success to be successful and enjoy the Smooth Sale!
