Do you get a lot of compliments about you and your business? How wonderful you are? How super fabulous your business idea is? That the world is \u00a0a better place because your business is so needed?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
\"compliments,<\/a>And some how this complimenters says “oh, but I don’t need your product or service, I am sure someone else does!” (When you know full well that they do in fact need you).\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So how do you take the Compliment and turn them into Clients?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I don’t want to confuse Compliments to Clients with Conversations to Cash (which is a killer sales program by Suzanne Evans, and if your sales suck, buy that system!)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Compliments are great, don’t get me wrong. But if you need to eat and keep a roof over your head you have to learn how to make money from these compliments.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Here’s the truth; a lot of compliments aren’t genuine because if they were, you would have people breaking down your door. People don’t want to hurt your feelings , so they lie and tell you something is great when really it isn’t. I don’t know about you but I would rather have the truth be told to me rather than me thinking what I am doing is working!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So here are a few tips to sail down the 7 C’s:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Compliments<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • When someone compliments you ask them what specifically they are complimenting you on<\/li>\n
  • \u00a0Ask them what they like and what you could do to improve<\/li>\n
  • Find a few people in\u00a0your circle that will be honest with you (Karen and Susanne are really honest!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    Competition<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • Really get to know your competition and learn what works for them (and what doesn’t work)<\/li>\n
    • If you get all weirded out by your competition being in the same room as you, get over it, there is enough work for everybody!<\/li>\n
    • No one does your business like you do, so really, there is no competition (how do you stand out in a crowded market?)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      Courage<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      • The only way your business will grow is when you take a risk<\/li>\n
      • Be willing to try new things and fail at a few<\/li>\n
      • Fear will not kill you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
        Confidence<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • The only way you will build the confidence muscle is by doing, so go do!<\/li>\n
        • Stop going to the Pity party for one<\/li>\n
        • If you could learn to walk and talk, you can learn to make money<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
          Clarity<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
          \n
            \n
          • You have to be so clear in your vision so that you know where you are going<\/li>\n
          • You must be super clear in your message so people understand what you do (no one cares how you do it)<\/li>\n
          • Do your business like you are the sole breadwinner (and if you are, do it like your life depends on it, which it does)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
            Conversation<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
            \n
              \n
            • You have to talk to people (in person) so they know who you are and what you do<\/li>\n
            • Learn how to ask people for the business (otherwise get a job)<\/li>\n
            • Create that killer 15 second pitch that we understand!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
              Clients<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
              \n
                \n
              • Ask people to work with you!<\/li>\n
              • Be known for amazing customer service!<\/li>\n
              • Love your clients!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
                Cash is the port that you sail into. Get real with yourself and know that money has to be part of your Why<\/span><\/strong>. I know a lot of independently wealthy people and they all say that money is a big part of their business why. See you inland!<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
