The dictionary shows us that a “Shaman” is; A member of certain tribal societies who acts as a medium between the visible world and an invisible spirit world and who practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing, divination, and control over natural events.
Now I’m going to define a few things and how that can apply here at The Sales Corner based on what we know thus far about a Shaman.
He is a member of tribal societies: A tribal society is also a “community of people” and a “support group” for in-common ideas…
He is a medium of invisible worlds and visible worlds; An “information” carrier/bringer from beyond the knowledge barrier between what you already know and what you don’t.
He practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing, divination, and control over natural events; A person using “unique methods and tools” to encourage good behavior and positive outcomes to the benefit of the community .
When I found The Sales Corner “SEO Shaman” I was very intrigued by the challenge to turn off my Google Ad-Words. My Shaman said to me that he could save me money, and bring me more traffic then I was getting from that way. So I took the challenge. (Sorry Google…)
Sure enough my “SEO Shaman” pulled through!
Over the next couple of weeks, he had saved me monthly costs from Google, brought more traffic, and provided better incoming lead results for the money I would have paid out in comparison to the experience I was having without my SEO Shaman helping me.
“Now, What if I told you that I have an SEO Shaman for you?”
“What if I told you that I will give you my SEO Shaman that grows business with his use of unique methods and tools that define who YOU are to your customers?” Is there anyone in the world that doesn’t want one of their own real life “SEO Shaman” working for them to help build their business?
If you want your “SEO Shaman” you can get one today, yes!
In fact; I’m looking forward to having one sent your way with his own magic and sorcery that WILL grow your business!! He will truly reinforce the power of just a “touch” that only The Sales Corner can provide in your experience! I hope you take advantage of this!
Remember, you don’t know how much your “TSC SEO Shaman” can offer you from The Sales Corner until you’ve had a chance to use him

Have you called your customer out of the blue and asked “How are you today?”
Did you know that asking a customer how they are doing shows that you perceive them as important? Did you know that if they feel important by you, they will feel the need to continuing to develop that relationship, which provide value?
One of the best Sales Probing Questions is “How are you today” or “How are you doing” because often times those will open the mouth of your prospect and get them talking. Getting your prospect talking is very key to even the earliest beginning of understanding what plagues them, and what helps them.
Dale Carnegie talked often about how you should win friends, and influence others. Winning friends, means that you are taking steps to identify a valuable relationship, and build on it. Knowing someone that wants to be around you because they find value in the relationship or can identify in a way that is “common” in each of you is really your best investment! Being friendly with words like “how are you today” can be very beneficial in the eyes of a good prospective relationship.
A lot sales people come to us asking how they can improve their sales or sell more with what they have! We always try to tell them that there’s no magic “sales key.” If you’ve been in just sales, you’ll know this, due to all the types of people and encounters you have. For those that have not ventured there, and have a product or service they are selling, often do not realize they might be selling even when they don’t think they are. When you are in front of that customer, or on the phone with them; ask how they are doing today, or how they have been.
We can always find something to promote, or talk about. We can even always provide you a tip that will possibly increase your sales or marketing flow. What we cannot do, is ever guarantee anyone results that just are not realistic. As a sales guy, you can be told that “the sky is the limit” when it comes to a commission, but as a realist, you’ve also got to know where the current limits are in your current plans and models. Without knowing your current limits; how will you understand at what points in your system you can fail? Saying hello, “how can I help you”, or “how are you doing?” is a great way to start understanding your own hurdles and pit-falls.

I recently read an online blog post which was about the so called sales recession. It talked about how you can still sell, going through one, and how you can thrive even when others are not.
That said, over the course of 2009, I talked to a lot of business owners, value added resellers, partners, and even personal consultants. As many as there were going through actual “downs” in the recession, there were just as many company’s that had experienced “ups” and remained profitable and some even attained growth.
The experiences and opinions based around the recession were all different for whoever I talked to. I cannot think of any one conversation that was close to the next, or the last one. Even so, the topic was “sales recession.” Most of their success had to do with them actually getting out to find new ways to sell into a market that looked like it wasn’t buying. The truth in their success was that the market was still buying, but it was doing it in different ways then before.
“It doesn’t matter what happens to the economy — if you keep selling value, you’ll do just fine.” — Mark von Rosing and his post on April 6th 2009 – http://b2bsalesgroup.blogspot.com/2009/04/making-money-during-recession.html
Well, he’s right. I agree, because that’s what each and every one of The Sales Corner discussions did and also experienced profitability, and growth. We were able to move people away from the idea that consumers were not buying. How? Because they didn’t change what they sold, they changed HOW they sold. In turn, adding value to their sales technique.
Adding and keeping value in your customer base is what will keep you thriving in times when others are struggling to make their mark. If you have a value add, it can only be competed with, not replaced. The best overall value will likely close deals. I’ve witnessed this time and time again.
When someone is buying, they are looking at, Price compared to Performance, ROI (Return on Investment), and Total Value of Solution. Those are your points that will often make or break a sale.
The Sales Corner supplies it’s members with new value every single day. If we are introducing new Marketing and Advertising for your product or business, or a daily Twitter tweet or Facebook post. Maybe it’s writing a review of your product or your book. Bringing better SEO to your website, or creating content for your blog to drive traffic. Even if it’s just you getting on our phone asking us a question, and walking away feeling like we helped you….those are all great values.
The recession has been the talk of the town since it started. Ask any sales department that grew during the recession, and they’ll probably tell you that a ‘recession’ is the perfect time to find new customers.”
For every five losers in 2009, one shining star emerged. The proof is in the communications had with other sales professionals in the fourth quarter of last year. “They had all made more money in 2009 than ever before.” Maybe that’s why they were still standing at the end of the year, unlike their counterparts who lost their jobs and maybe their business because of antiquated sales techniques and marketing management.
The Sales Corner has the experience to propel your business into the next generation. “That’s right, the NEXT generation.” We understand the marketplace and the consumer inside your store. Be it when the economy is good, or when it is bad, “Your business is our business.” We interact and engage the huge pool of prospective clients you are not reaching. We organize and deliver the interactions that lead to sales. We follow-up and resell to existing customers. “We understand that when one market is slumping, another is booming.” You are able to take advantage of these skills when others cannot or are unable to understand the reality of business. “Reality changes business, business does not change reality.”

When I was out tonight, something happen. I had the thought that It’s interesting how our seemingly daily and routine lives are filled with that of what perhaps we do at work, or for recreation, even when we think there’s no correlation sometimes. What I refer to are similar aspects of our “office” areas in combination with what we do when we are not at “work.”
For example; There I was standing at the local mart today looking for a “candy” product that I really wanted. It was a major brand too. Low and behold, there I was, realizing to myself they were out of stock of what I wanted.
In this case I knew the mart clerk and asked if they had more of what I wanted. Using his excellent customer service skills, the store manager took the time to walk back with me to make sure I hadn’t missed it, or to see if they had moved it, etc… Sure enough it was gone. He proceeded to tell me they were out, and so I ended up buying nothing and left. (I was on a mission..)
This is a perfect example of a good customer (me), knowing products and services of another (#1 mart and #2 mart.) Keep reading.
I proceeded to drive to the next “nearest” local mart that I knew of with comparable prices. I walked in and knowing where to go, I could see they had a full rack of what I wanted. I grabbed up the item and began looking for the next thing now.
Would you believe this mart didn’t have it? In fact; they didn’t carry the brand at all, not even a generic. It’s a .99 drink. Yummy…. To my surprise, I shrugged and proceeded to the counter and I checked out. When I got to the counter, I wasn’t asked if I found everything okay. Another problem was that I was simply uncomfortable in asking this guy about the brand, as I didn’t know the him. I paid for my items and left.
I walked out of the store, head high, (not paying too much attention to Police Officer who was domineeringly staring in my direction…) and started my vehical to leave. Let’s remember now that I’m still in need of an item.
I drive back to the first mart again because I know they carry what I’m looking for. I get what I want out of the cooler, and I go to the counter to check out.
Toward the end of my adventure I have a nice ten to fifteen minute conversation with the store owner (who is on a first name basis with me) about the ups and downs of sales in general;
We talked about how his being out of stock of a product on my first look was somewhat discouraging for his sales. I then left to go get the product somewhere else, leaving him to miss out. Lucky for another someone who got me on his pitfall. On the second mart’s mishap however, they didn’t have a product I wanted either. Therefore being a good valued customer and knowing who I like to use (relationship), I returned to the first mart and purchased that product the second mart didn’t have which becomes that guys pitfall.
My point to the owner was that his being out of product is certainly a good thing if it’s something that’s in high demand and your out. In his case, it drove me away to buy from another inventory. Likewise, if you just don’t carry the product or service it’s a downfall too, as in the second marts case. That guy didn’t even carrying a competing product! Also, the customer service at the second mart, was not anything compared to that experience at the first mart.
Keep in mind, I’m not saying everyone can do everything or provide every such product or service, no, certainly not. Rationality is that sales and even marketing are about supply and demand, and grabbing and gaining the attention of the general people. If you have the resources or otherwise, powers, or other means at your disposal, use everything you can to supply the most value to your customers.
It’s opportunities like my own tonight that thrive in the world and keep business’s afloat. Simply out of pure need for whatever it is a person seeks when they look for the next place to purchase a product or a service.
Customer Service training is no doubt can something that should take a meaningful part in your sales and marketing as well. After all, my friend is more kind in asking ALL of his customers if they find everything okay. He doesn’t do it because he is my friend. It was part of his friendly behavior that led us into friendship after all. Customer service in selling and marketing products and services is crucial in obtaining and starting that “valuable feeling” of the relationship that you have with your prospective buyer.
I give you The Sales Corner and I hand it to you as a resource to take advantage of to help you grow your business. Stop worrying about how you’re going to complete ALL your tasks in the day that keep your business going. Remember, if you need a consultation for a website project, a sales and marketing project, or perhaps you just want to ask a question about how you can improve your sales and marketing, or just talk to someone to get an opinion about something related. If those are you, in any of the above, we ask you to reach out and utilize this resource!
Ask any new business owner how the company they run today compares to their ideas of how it would be in the past, and many will tell you that their business is not quite what they had in mind when they started. Building a better business model is what The Sales Corner is designed to do for you, the small business generator.
When we think about what our business model is we usually tend to lean toward our internal processes and come up with an idea of what they look like on paper. We make flow charts and organizational diagrams that explain the flow of a process or the flow of the duties of an individual or organization. The overall picture is the business model which encompass all the things that help make the business run. Inside the model, you’ve got more models that are specific to how an organization or team is run.
The Sales Corner is an extension of your current model (small or large) because we encompass everything that you’re business needs to function, grow, and become very successful! Our administrators are prepared to help your business grow and develop your business planto perfection, cutting out all the wasted time it takes to do it yourself.
What makes us more effective is the amount of free work we provide to business owners and our communities. Our Free work is not what set’s us apart however. What set’s The Sales Corner apart is that we have the administrative ability to help you succeed.
Does that mean we will come build your next building for you? No, most certainly not. However, what we will do, is help you find the local resources, and put them on your doorstep. We will be there at your desk, on your computer, telling you how to accomplish your goals, even helping you to climb over the hurdles that must be crossed to reach your financial goals.
We get people seeking you out because you have an opportunity to offer someone, or you are looking for one yourself. Either way, The Sales Corner can play an integral part in your business.

Buzz Party CraveMSP
Kerry Ciardelli of Victory is hosting a Buzz Party for the Minneapolis/St. Paul Crave book project and Patti Soskin of Yum! is baking treats! We will have Chicago Crave books for you to look at- hot off the press! I have invited many potential Crave women as well as those who have signed on already. Victory has amazing shopping so if you have last minute gifts this is the place to find beautiful stocking stuffers and holiday presents!
The focus of the books and all the buzz is to drive customers to locally owned shops and educate women about how the power of spending local helps their own communities by keeping the dollars here and supporting the creative shopowners that make our neighborhoods so wonderful! That’s why I have invited over 50 media people and bloggers who will soon know all about this great project!
Look who is going to be featured in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Crave book- Christine Ward of Patina and Shoppe Local, Kerry of Victory on 44th, Chris of Russell & Hazel, Kristi of Hunt & Gather, Lori of Euronest, Patti of Yum! – just to name a few who are on board already!
I choose who goes in the book myself based on recommendations, personal contacts and experience. Only 125 women proprietors from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area will be featured and I am talking with every single one of them. If you look inside the pages to the Chicago book, which just came out last week! We will have Chicago books to see at the party! http://thecravecompany.com/chicago/crave-guide/peek-inside/ you will see how each women is highlighted. This is considered a manifesto of sorts to let people know which women they should know about and support in the Twin Cities!
Crave’s purpose is to highlight successful women business owners to women in each city. We print 10,000 books and promote it through our website and all the social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogging). The Buzz Party is at the beginning of the project and we have a really fun Book Launch party that we do when the book comes out (Minneapolis will come out this Spring).
We have found that many women don’t know which businesses are owned by local women and we know they would happily chose to spend their money at businesses run by women who they hear about through our books. Many Twin Cities consumers may not understand the power of shopping locally until we educate them about how much of those dollars stay in our communities. Cinda Baxter of the 3/50 Project is so enthusiastic about our mission that she is partnering with us- which she rarely does! She has over 13,000 businesses nationwide signed up for her important project in just 8 months.
There will be books for you to see at the Buzz Party!
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for your time!
