Being Proactive With Customers

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s Adventure Is CUSTOMERS. In business, we all want and need people. We need them to see us, interact with us, express their views, and buy our products or services.

As a small business owner, your sales process starts the minute a prospective customer first makes contact with you. But you might not always get the sale on the first try. And if a purchase is made, you also want to ensure that you get repeat business from each customer.

That’s why your small business needs a salient customer follow up plan. Following up with customers is just as important as convincing them to purchase your products and services.

Communicate: Be pleasant when talking and answer their questions. Be direct and to the point. Your answers should be logical, but not overly technical. If you do not have the information on hand, then inform them that you will call back promptly.

Mention: https://www.getcloudapp.com/blog/customer-follow-up

In a business follow up, it is important to stand by your word. This will indicate that you have taken the matter seriously.

When reaching out to customers, consider avoiding yes or no questions and instead ask open-ended questions to get the best insight about their experiences. The more you know, the easier it will be to adapt to future transactions. 

Social Media, Digitization, Faces, Board

Make sure not to allow too much time to pass between a sale and a follow-up, as the quicker you spark communication, the more likely the person is to have a favorable opinion about your company. Also, if a customer has reached out to your company directly, try to make an effort to respond within 24 hours. This proves your dedication. 

Don’t forget: Say ‘Thank You’. These simple words are very important and can’t be overused.  The flow of your inquiry about their experience is the heart of your business. People really love to know you care. Even if it seems that people aren’t interested, they really are. People want a good response from us. We gently lead them where they need to go.

Take Action

Follow-up doesn’t happen by accident. I encourage you think through your own follow-up process:

  • What are situations where follow-up is appropriate?
  • When should you follow up with your customers?
  • How can you ensure follow-up happens?

I trust you know what you are best within the follow-up process: e-mail, text, or phone. Use ALL these. The ones you lack in, work on the most ( which for most is the PHONE). Before you start any conversion, make sure you have done your research and proceed with CARE. Be calm, relax, and be professional. Make the experience pleasant for BOTH of you. Ok, TAKE A DEEP BREATH. LET OUT SLOWLY. CALM, CALM, CALM……..

BE CALM AND STAY FOCUSED

CLOSET LIFE-OPEN THE DOOR

Hello Everyone This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is: Overcoming hurts, habits, and hangups.

Universe, Hand, Heart, Love, Hands, Give

If you have been following my blog for any length of time or just tuning in, It’s all about people. GOOD, BAD, AND THE UGLY. I know from my wife and youngest daughter’s journey dealing with depression, anxiety, feeling of worthlessness, people deal with real issues that cannot be ignored. Because I’m an upbeat personality, I don’t understand their pain. Life can be hard during these times. Please read carefully: WE ARE ALL PART OF THE HEALING PROCESS. SOME BY STAYING AND SOME BY GOING. Let me clarify-some people are good at listening and offering good advice. Others are toxic and need to be removed from people who need healing. I hope this was said with love.

When it comes to your mood, which plays into your health, emotions aren’t the only factor. The people you interact with are important too because without even realizing it, you always take energy from the people around you.  It’s important to choose well when it comes to your intimate environment. You have to surround yourself with people who lift you up and help you grow.

Children, Play, Rock, Leisure

Healing people line up perfectly with that idea. They’re the kinds of people who give off positive energy and help you get through your the adventure of life. So now you have to ask yourself: what actions, events, and people give you positive energy?If attitudes are contagious, is yours worth being infected with?

The people around you play a part in your mental health

Do you feel better when you’re with your friends? If so, that happens because good friendships improve your quality of life and mental health.

Can we talk about SPIRITUAL HEALING for a moment? Spiritual healing can help people in many different ways – sometimes unexpected. Healing may completely cure someone – or may not, but may instead help them to deal with the condition they have and to become more positive. It is extremely rare for someone to receive healing and then report no improvement afterward whatsoever, and indeed many people report that they feel a great deal better, often where other treatments have failed. Miraculous instantaneous cures are rare – but not unknown, and we should always be open to this possibility.

God uses people to heal people. Some with the laying on of hands, anointing with oil, and sometimes, God uses DOCTORS. I heard it said” When your body hurts, your body hurts, and you should NEVER ignore what your body is telling you.

LET US LOVE PEOPLE. RESPECT PEOPLE-YOUNG AND OLD.

We have so much to learn,so join hands with those that you love, want to love but don’t know how, and those you don’t like, and let the healing process start slowly, but starting never the less.

Community-One Key

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is “COMMUNITY”. Why is YOUR community so important?” PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE.” Without people what do you have? Emptiness and loneliness that will dry up your bones.

Social Media, Connections, Networking

Get more people involved.

Provide an easy and secure way for your community to participate, online. A dedicated online platform means participants can learn, engage, and give honest feedback when and where it’s convenient for them.

Build trust and community well-being.

Easily share feedback data and project updates with your community to keep them informed and involved in your progress. “Community – meaning for me ‘nurturing human connection’ — is our survival. We, humans, wither outside of the community. It isn’t a luxury, a nice thing; the community is essential to our well being.”

I love being part of a community of ENTREPRENEURS. We have each others backs. We step in to help at a moments notice. I think the TELEGRAPH platform is superior to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and a host of others, as someone is almost always online to help, instantly. We share triumphs, mishaps, joys of moving, taking wives on dates, can’t seem to get graphics right, crypto nightmares….. Most people in today’s world rely on a community for practical purposes. The necessities of life rarely come from one’s own hands, but rather from a complicated “web of mutuality,” as Martin Luther King, Jr. once phrased it. While most people need to be part of a community for life’s necessities, most people want to be part of a community because there is something indescribably lovely about being a part of a group of people who share something more substantial than geographical location. . . something they feel passionately about. Something that, when shared, makes individuals seem less lonely. A community is a safe place.

Team Spirit, Cohesion, Together

My communities are as fresh today, as they were when I started. People have gotten to know me, and I have gotten to know them. Contact List Builders, Massivesuccess, Click Track Profit is my communities of choice.

These men and women have embraced me without any thought other than helping me become a success story. They have made me think outside the box, made me choose my words carefully, create a brand that is TOTALLY ME. I will continue to strive to be the best I can be because at the same time they are being the best they can be. WOOT WOOT

Are You Hotwired?

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is YOUR brain. The brain’s wiring patterns can shed light on a person’s positive and negative traits.

How Your Brain Is Wired Reveals the Real You

Mention: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/driven-distraction/201401/your-brain-is-not-the-hard-wired-machine-you-think-it-is

For many years, it was believed that the human brain is essentially hardwired—that we are born with a set of cognitive abilities, which are more or less unalterable for the rest of our lives. But the discovery of neuroplasticity—our brain’s ability to selectively transform itself in response to certain experiences—has proven to be one of the biggest paradigm shifts. Simply put, neuroplasticity refers to our brain’s malleability—its ability to respond to certain intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing and building its structure, function and connections .

The fact that our brain doesn’t just absorb—but can also re-wire itself in response to certain repeated activities and experiences—has opened new opportunities for cognitive therapy.

Artificial Intelligence, Brain, Think

Reading this has given me insight, That the more I progress in my business, my brain is re-wiring itself with precise and accurate information to build a dynasty that will last for years to come.

Doing tasks at Contact List Builders, Traffic Leads 2 Income viral mailer, Click Track Profit, stimulates my brain on a daily basis. I use my email, phone, texts, laptop, and read books to help in the process to move me toward financial freedom. I have daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, and yearly goals. As you can see some tasks you have been doing, have re-wired who you are.

You are not the same as you were yesterday, last week, even as far back as the 3rd grade. The choices you choose to perform daily makes you more than you can possibly imagine. So write that blog, design that web page, master the art of phone calls. Keep you brain stimulated by doing those simple tasks.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

Sell, sell, sell.

As we’ve all experienced, the sales process essentially boils down to two things: numbers and time.

And those two things often go hand-in-hand. While we (or our team) are racing to hit quota against that clock. But we can save time and maximize our numbers by investing in the right processes, activities, and skills.

What Is a PROSPECT?

A prospect is a potential customer that has been qualified as fitting certain criteria. Determining if a contact is a sales prospect is the first step in the selling process. Once you’ve determined that the person meets the criteria, they’re a prospect and can move into the next phase of the selling process. Prospects don’t have to have indicated an interest in buying; they just need to meet the mentioned criteria.

How Prospects Work: It is the act of finding leads and turning them into prospects. Leads come from various places; you can buy lists, skim the phone book, search the internet, or talk to people while you’re waiting in line at the store. In most cases, whatever form you use, your goal is to determine if the person could become a prospect. You determine this by qualifying them on one criterion, usually your target market.

Once you’ve determined that the lead could be a prospect, you then work to qualify them under the other criteria, which can be done in various ways, including a phone call, in-person meeting, online form, or email. Your goal is to determine if the lead is a good candidate for what you offer and has the money and ability to buy. 

Prospects vs. Leads

Like many industries or occupations, the business sales field has many words unique to its own language and use. Terms will often be used interchangeably, even though they don’t mean the same thing. This is the case with the business sales terms “prospect” and “lead.”

A prospect is often confused as a lead, but there’s a fundamental difference. A lead is an unqualified contact; any potential client or customer you meet that hasn’t been qualified as a prospect is a lead. In the sales process, you gather leads first, qualify them into prospects, and then move them through your sales funnel or process.

WORDS- How To Use Them

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is WORDS. We all use them. If you think about it, we think in pictures from what is being spoken to us. If I say orange, cut in half and wonderful citrus smell. What did you just see?

Mention: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/search/thinking/

Mind, Brain, Mindset, Perception

When we read, we think in pictures. When someone tells us a story of their vacation, we see pictures. In business, we think in pictures.

The words we use are important to get people the right picture. While it is important that we respect everyone we meet in our lives, it is equally important that we perform such deeds that can help us earn respect. Respect is the greatest asset that a person earns through his behavior and activities done for the office, home, or for the community. Our pictures must show respect, value, and well being. We want people to have a good picture of our business. When we use words like-tools, coop, lead capture page, landing page, autoresponder, we want people to have the right picture so they can use them correctly.

Mention: https://www.indiacelebrating.com/speech/speech-on-respect/

Using negative words still gives us pictures. These picture never give us the result we want or need. You’ll never make it, your no good, your a loser, nobody likes you…….. The list goes on for ever.

It is important that parents teach their kids to respect their elders, grandparents, teachers, their fellow friends and everyone living in their surroundings. Only then we will be able to build a positive society. Nowadays, people lose temper on small issues and indulge into altercations which turn out to be violent sometimes. If children are taught to forgive negligible matters and learn to respect the people around, they would grow up to be happier children.

I think you are awesome and you have the talent to build your business. I see you have goals on a white board. I see you put up a video. I see there are 10 steps in taking your business from a to z. I love the pictures of words and how they affect my life. My wife- husband-children-grandkids-grandparents- Do you see you just thought in a picture.

Think about what say when you want someone to think a certain picture. A picture is worth a thousand words.
