For people who are looking to start a career or those who are launching a business, you need to have an effective and clear way to introduce yourself to potential employers. Of course the elevator speech is going to be very important to grab their attention, but how will you get them to listen?

How will you project your uniqueness to them? This will be your unique selling proposition, but if you aren’t able to come across as being highly unique yourself, you won’t be able to convince other people to work with you. Think of your elevator speech as the kick off to your presentation, as the beginning of your sales process. Who is the target audience for this elevator speech? Form a list of five potential employers and start brainstorming how you’re going to come across to them in a way that they will be interested in working with you. Try to keep your speech on the shorter side, don’t include too many details in it, the most important components are; who you are, what your unique selling proposition is, and who you’re targeting to work with. If you’re trying to get a job as an online marketing coach for small businesses, immediately tell them you are trained in online marketing. First of all, they are not going to want to learn more about you, you’ve already told them what it is so that’s not interesting to them. Instead of you saying you’re a marketing coach, have them ask, ‘who does your company do such and such marketing tactics?’ or ‘who are some of the top marketing coaches in the United States, who do they specialize in target these types of businesses, if you were to train that comprised of such a group of marketing coaches, what would they focus on? Or how do they come to work with you and what do you offer to them within the first 90 days?’ This is the type of question they will be asking, it’s the thing they’re going to be asking you out loud. Then express that you are excited to work with them and if they are interested, give them a date and time you will be available to work together and, if they are not interested, tell them you will be able to come back to them. Be confident, this is telling a completely different story to a completely different audience and it is absolutely the wrong way to introduce yourself to a client.

Now what happens when the above is done, and it all sounds good, how about if you said, ‘I specialize in helping small business owners to implement these techniques and strategies, I have pretty good success statistics with them.’ Sure they will ask you ‘how is that?’ or ‘how well you do that?’ if you’re not able to explain what it is you do that is of value, they will assume you are scrumptious at creating PowerPoint presentations and they will never be convinced, never believe you can be of value to them. For online marketing this rule is nothing new as found in Info Trends article; “If Your Company Doesn’t Have An Online Marketing Strategy, You Do Not Exist”

If you truly think you can’t be different and you don’t believe you can be fully sales yourself, the next Client Attraction method for business owners is to blend these two ideas together: The elevator speech + your specific target market’s needs/ Criteria. This Client Attraction business strategy is not designed to confuse you, rather it is designed to convince others you can be of value to their needs/benefits as well.

It’s easier for your potential client to closed the deal if they are convinced you can add something beneficial to them in the first place. So have a clear answer to this question now, “for what reason will they care about working with me?” Once you have this answer, determine your unique selling proposition: What’s that one thing that has you challenging your potential client, what does that mean to them? That’s what you want to talk about, that one thing which you do that’s going to become the heart of your unique selling proposition. What are some of the red flags they will have in their ways to ensure they appreciate the very important addition to their purchase or to thank them for their consideration? You want to stay on target, don’t stay in the middle, be direct nagapoker you must be ready to answer them. One of the characteristics of a solid business is that it is regularly interacting with its client base, its network, its competition and determining what makes them desire to purchase more of your stuff.

I wrote an article a few weeks ago about the power of words. One of the points I made in that article was quite obvious. While many people may disagree, the simple and obvious explanation of the power of words is to help us understand our world. How else can we understand that everything that exists is a result of our words? Right here, right now, every single thing we see in this world, even the things which we cannot see, we see because of the words we use. This may not seem very obvious, but it could be the most important thing we choose to put out, so let’s look at what it means.

First of all, let me say that this isn’t a religious topic-it’s just the way things are, so, like I said, the examples may not be religious related. But just the same, I’ll use the sky and the trees and the oceans to illustrate how the words you use actually affect everything in your life. Let’s start with the simplest example about the sky. You’re looking out at the blue sky and how it looks with a few clouds. You’re looking at it and saying “Oh, look how blue it is,” or “Oh, it really is looking nice out here with all these clouds.” And then, you notice that it’s clear and you feel relief that it is clear.

You’re taking pictures of the sky now, and you might even think about what your favorite picture of the sky might be, so you think of how you would like it to look like. Then you look and realize that the sky is a little flat, like a Available Top and you say, that’s nice. Then the sky starts to grow flat because you never really paid attention to the flat parts. Now, they turn out flat much faster than the sky was the way you thought. So what happened to your picture of the sky? Did the clouds grow flat faster than you thought? If they did, why did the clear skies happen to take such a quick flat turn? By doing this, we understand how wrong we can be with our words.

I’ll give a few examples: think of people who say “I am tired” or “I feel like I have nothing to do”, or “It’s getting to be all too much”. Or another phrases which are Similar in meaning, but have yet to be considered in a clear and harsh way. They may not turn out with words like this: “My pain is so intense”; “Something bad is going to happen to me”; “I’ll never find love”; “I am sick and cannot be cured.” Or a line that is even worse: “I am so desperate for some change in my life, but nothing ever changes.” These phrases reflect massive amounts of negative thoughts, then most of the time we say that we want something, or that we are frustrated, but cannot just think of it or say it, we must do it more directly: “I want change to happen in my life, so that I do not feel so down all the time.”

When everything in life is your internal picture: it’s your internal thinking, then, and it comes from words, thoughts, words are what make things happen! So next time you say something negative, or mean something negative, think about the thoughts which you are expressing as words, it will hit you again. People to whom this has happened are often spontaneously embarrassed and aghast, so next time you speak, remember to watch where you are speaking, and make sure you are speaking positively and constructively. Say something uplifting and positive if you want to feel positive, and don’t just say, “Oh, I am tired,” or “I’m bored,” or “I want to give you a hug and a keepsake.” Watch yourself, and when people ask you how you are-you will be surprised.

The Power of Words

Word meaning. misled or demotivated? When everything around you is negative and tainting, but we say, in a tone of voice which tells those around us that something is bad, and that it will be so, we are incurring our own negativity. Why should we feel better or happier when everything out there seems so negative?

It is the words we tell ourselves, about ourselves-that are affected by the idea that we exist in negative or depressing situations. For example, if I say to myself, “I am tired,” I have not cleared away the feelings it might engaged me in. It may sound like, “Ple tinny-it’s too late we’ve been forced to retire for the winter long and the weather is dark outside.”

But when I say to myself “The summer months are here” or “It is summer time”; suddenly I have stretched the meaning and am more likely to leave the feeling of being tired, and if you are with Pokerclub88
