Client Charters - a Powerful Referral Marketing Strategy?

I used to think client charters were a waste of time, until I came across one that was a deciding factor in winning a major contract. I has since used them to successfully win business for myself and my clients

To be honest with you, my first thoughts regarding client charters many years ago were not very positive. Hardly anyone used them and I thought they were just another form of presenting a company mission statement which no one read or cared about.

The first examples… Continue

Does Your Business Qualify for Word of Mouth Referrals?

Take a look in the mirror and ask the following questions;

“Why should people do business with me or refer me or my company?”

In other words, how do prospects, customers or contacts view you as a person or your company or your staff? Do they feel comfortable and perhaps even eager to become a customer or make referrals to you?

All you have to do is earn their respect, develop best relationship, show them you appreciate their business, regularly communicate with them, educate them on the benefits and value you give, “train” them how to refer you and reward them for doing so and they will bring you all the business you can handle.

Three Good Reasons to Adore Books in April 2008

(AP photo of Junot Diaz by Jim McKnight)

The more the fate of books in the world are called into question ––as they compete with the ever-increasing domination of techno gadgetry–– the stronger and more enduring their impact seems to become. There is, apparently, no such thing as a permanent substitute for the written word adorned by human imagination and artfully bound in hard or soft covers.

5 Reasons Every Writer Needs a Web Presence and Where to Start

I recently talked to a friend who was having an article published in a well-known, highly competitive magazine. She hasn't yet taken the jump to have a web presence. I tend to forget that I spend thousands of hours online, receive hundreds of newsletters each month and answer over 1000 emails a month. I don't realize that the words "blog," "SEO," "keywords," "meta tags," and even "book marketing" are not terms most people go to bed thinking about. Or get up at 2 a.m. when you can't sleep and… Continue
