The Let Me Think About it Customer
Don’t you really hate it when you ask someone to book a home party and they respond with: “Let me think about it?” That just irks me, until I realized that just about EVERYONE says that, no matter what business you’re in! The worse thing you can do? Say “Ok, call me.”They won’t. What to say instead?—“It’s good I called you today” —“It’s good you came to the party today” —“It’s good that I emailed you today” And then give them a great reason why they should book a party with you...
Read MoreSecret Weapon: The Email Subject Line
Do you often overlook the subject line when you send an email? Well, did you know that the subject line in emails is one of the most important ways to get someone to actually open it AND read it?

Umbrella cocktail in hand and huge beaming smile, she hugged the breath out of me, and then proceeded to introduce me to a hoard of passengers she had just met. Her secret to success unraveled: she is a networking mad dog! When people ask you “what do you do?” how do you describe your business?

Read MoreValidation: The Secret of Love and Attraction
I think my first marriage slowly deteriorated once something stopped happening between my ex and I….we stopped saying sincere complimentary things to one another. As a woman, I stopped giving verbal appreciation for the everyday good little and big things he would do, and he in turn, stopped validating my feelings and critiqued them instead. Oh, how simply stupid we can be the first 30 or 40 years of our lives…and not just with our lovers and/or mates, but also with everyone around us, our family, friends, our co-workers, the supermarket check out clerks, the bank teller, flower...
