Dear Promotional Professional:

Did you attend the Orlando or Vegas industry shows? If so, I hope you came back with lots of great ideas you can immediately use to grow your sales. And if we had a chance to meet, fantastic!

(By the way, check out the links to the photos from the shows at the end of this newsletter, you may see yourself!)

If you're trying to keep up with catalogs, samples and client requests you're probably feeling swamped. This week I have some great information to get you back on track.

Traveling as much as I do gives me a chance to catch up on one of my favorite pastimes, reading! Reading is the way I relax at crowded airports and on planes that always seem to run late.

I read at least one business book a month. I'm always looking for creative ideas I can share with my readers and members of my Success Circle.

That's why I was so excited when I learned about a practical and powerful new book, Time Traps: Proven Strategies for Swamped Sales People, by Todd Duncan.

I first became interested in this book while attending Roni Wright's (from supplier, The Book Co.) workshop at the PPAI show in Vegas.

What I liked best was the advice in this book wasn't typical. Forget the conventional wisdom about handling a piece of paper just once and getting in extra early and working late. While this may work for some people, I have found that if can ruin the quality of your life and drive you crazy!

Here are three things that will help you take control of your day:

1. Turn off your email alerts. Only check emails at certain designated times during the day. Just doing this one thing will make a big difference in your productivity.

2. Stop multitasking. Studies have shown it decreases productivity instead of increasing it! Focus on one thing at a time and finish it! Give your complete attention to what you're doing and you'll avoid making mistakes.

3. Evaluate your accounts. Focus on the tweny percent of your customers that appreciate your efforts and give you repeat business and referrals. Survey your top accounts to see how you can serve them better.

Hello Everyone:

Happy New Year!

This year instead of just starting 2006 with business as usual, give yourself the gift of more success all year long. Spend some quiet time each week working on your business instead of just in it.

Here’s how to begin:

1. Focus on what’s working and do more of it. Taking inventory of positive changes in your business and your life during the past year is a great way to ensure even more success. It will reinforce good habits and increase your confidence.

What did you do well?
What goals did you accomplish?
What new clients did you get?
What projects did you complete?
How can you duplicate and do more of these?

2. Create a crystal clear vision of what you want to achieve in 2006! Imagine ahead to December 2006. Write a list of your wins and accomplishments for the year. Be specific and write them as if they’ve already happened. Look at all aspects of your business and make the list as long as you’d like.

3. Define what success means to you. Success is definitely an individual matter. But if you don’t take the time to define it for yourself you may end up living someone else’s dream. For some it may be a six-figure income, for others it may be freedom and flexibility and not having to answer to anyone. Define success on your own terms! Decide what’s important in your business and your life, and then focus on how to achieve it!

Once you know what success means to you, you can develop goals and action steps to achieve what you want.
