One Simple Tool That Can Double Or Triple Your Contact List

April 17, 2012 by 3 Comments

by Charlotte L. Hanna CMO/CMBS Global   I’ve recently returned from an inspiring time in Orlando Florida, learning how to better market our clients – and our company, CMBS Global. The three-day event, hosted at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport by Suzanne Evans and her team, not only provided a bevy of tools and information [including one simple tool that has the potential to double or even triple your contact list] but great opportunities to network and actually hear the individual stories of other entrepreneurs in the industry, as well.

I can honestly say that while there is nothing totally new under the [marketing] sun, the speed at which technology is being developed to assist the online marketing industry is mind-boggling! So much is available to us each day – right at our fingertips – that it is difficult to keep up with the pace. With all of the choices, the question becomes how to best utilize it all.

As most of us know, to be effective in our efforts we must be DOING. Where it can get a bit tricky is staying on top of WHAT to do, HOW to do it – and WHEN!

It’s a given that to implement any great tool you must first learn how to use it…but in today’s business environment, by the time you get comfortable with one – something NEW and UNFAMILIAR can be in your “toolbox”, screaming for your immediate attention. Finding the time to learn a new skill required for the latest, most effective program can be nearly impossible when you are already up-to-your-eyeballs in building your online business.

The World Is Your Marketplace – Are You Ready And Set To Go?

October 14, 2011 by 2 Comments

 

by Charlotte L. Hanna CMO/CMBS GLOBAL

CMBS GLOBAL believes that “The World Is Your Marketplace!” If you have often consideredCMBSGlobal.com expanding your market, and understand the value of being able to reach your niche audience – anywhere in the world at any time – then you believe it, too.

Are you READY to do whatever it takes to reach the world with your message?

Are you SET to launch a new and innovative product?

Do you know where to GO – and how to make online marketing work most effectively for you?

There is no end in sight to the explosion of the entrepreneurial spirit and the growth the Internet has afforded small businesses. Yet, despite compelling numbers, many small businesses have not yet realized the importance of the global marketplace.

Hesitation to take advantage of the many benefits associated with doing business internationally is sometimes linked to a lack of knowledge and understanding. However, it is the need for assistance with those processes necessary for unleashing the unlimited potential for growth and profit, which more often causes entrepreneurs to delay taking further action.

What The World Is Looking For – And Why It Could Be You!

October 12, 2011 by 4 Comments

by Charlotte L. Hanna CMO/CMBS GLOBAL

 

Have you ever wondered if what you do is really all that important?

Like many, you may have convinced yourself that what the world is looking for could NOT POSSIBLY be you! You have probably told yourself that no matter how much you know you could contribute – there is surely someone else who is naturally more worthy and better equipped for the task.

Have you had an idea, but lacked the confidence that others would also find it worthwhile? Do you often go to bed at night and think, “What if…?” yet, come morning, choose to no longer entertain the thought?

Maybe you are an artist who works in unusual mediums and you are wondering if there might be a market for your creations, or a writer who has been contemplating a new book, but wondering if there would be any real interest in your subject matter.

Are you someone who has spoken before audiences when asked, but have never ventured onstage outside your local area because you were unsure of your market? Maybe you are a businessman or businesswoman who makes it possible for others to reach their goals, never to pursue your own. [Read more...]

The State Of Your Business – Where Will You Invest Yourself?

October 7, 2011 by 2 Comments

by Charlotte L. Hanna CMO/CMBS GLOBAL

My husband works for the world’s largest and most recognizable maker of mining equipment used underground. He has invested 37 years of his 56 years here on this earth in helping to keep this company the successful and productive player that it is in the world market.

Though only one of about 1300 people employed at this facility, he is very good at what he does, and as such, is respected for his abilities by those with whom and for whom he works, day in and day out, week after week, month after month, year after year. He has been consistently committed to doing a great job and has always retained a certain level of pride in the products he helps to create and in the company that has played such an important role in the economy of the area in which we live.

He considers himself blessed to have found a job that he could “sink his teeth into”, hold onto for so long, and maintain earning a decent living while doing something he genuinely enjoys.

Much has changed over the past 37 years. [Read more...]

GETTING ENGAGED, THE PLUS GOOGLE AND OTHERS ARE SEARCHING FOR

September 21, 2011 by Leave a Comment

by Charlotte L. Hanna CMBS Global

 

“Getting Engaged” – the act that occurs (usually after much searching) when one proposes to another that due to compatibility, they should agree to ‘join forces’ for life, and prepare for that committed union known as a marriage.

The act of “Getting Engaged” may be performed with great sincerity, romantically, ceremoniously, or without much ado – even with humor. It really depends on the personalities of those involved. However, no matter the manner, it should involve a measure of persuasive communication to indicate the desire for a deeper, long-lasting relationship, which will compel a positive response to that request.

As an entrepreneur, one of the most effective ways to establish a relationship with those in your niche market is to share your message on a regular basis. Communication is vital, and though you may not be see yourself as a public speaker, you should know that there is no replacement for making your presence noticed and your voice heard in today’s marketplace.

Your book, products, and services, need to be as visible as possible to your market. Your webpage, combined with the best online marketing tools and SEO, is a great start, but most consumers and clients want to be able to put a face with the name behind the product. They are more secure about their purchase of goods and services from someone to whom they can feel personally connected. [Read more...]
