Keeping your business pipeline full just takes planning. Some small business owners get caught up in the process, rather than the planning piece, and a lot of time can get wasted when you are not really aware if what you are doing is productive or not. It’s important to think about a few things before you get started with networking (or prospecting). 1. Develop a plan that suits you. You need to fit marketing into your day, every day if possible. You don’t, however, want to get sucked in to spending a lot of time doing something without knowing why you are doing it. Planning is the key to success here. 2. Ask yourself what the purpose of your networking… Read More »5 Tips for Better Networking as a VA

I just returned from attending a live event called Transform in Atlanta, Georgia. The event was hosted by Pamela Bruner, and there were approximately 300 people in attendance. It was a great teaching experience, but it was also a wonderful networking experience – imagine have 3 or 4 full days to connect with people – that’s a lot of time to make it around the room! This is one of the things that is so great about a live event – getting the time to get to know people better. So I thought I would give you my best 3 tips for networking at live events like the one I just attended: 1. Move around and be social. Move from… Read More »3 Tips for Networking at Live Events

Have you ever looked at your marketing calendar and thought maybe it was a little heavy on the promotions? It happens, especially when we are launching new products or services, or when we are involved in a joint venture with others. I think it’s important to sit back and analyze the impact of marketing to our list or in our social networks. Promotion is a good thing. It’s important that people who need your services are able to see what you are offering on a regular basis. Some small business owners shy away from doing marketing until they think they need it … which is often too late. To be absent and present with your promotional efforts causes two problems:… Read More »How Much Marketing is Too Much?

We often talk about the importance of measuring results in our business. This can come in many forms – maybe you want to measure how many people are visiting your website, or joining your Facebook page, or opening your newsletter – or signing on as clients. Whatever the case may be, when you have something that has a measurable result, make sure you measure it. If it’s not working, change it. Many small business owners go through the process of setting up a program – or even their website freebie – and then just leave it at that. In order to make sure that you are relevant and interesting to your audience, it’s important to measure your results regularly to… Read More »If It’s Not Working, Change It
