I am someone who surrounds myself with positive quotes, pictures, people - you get the idea! I absolutely NEED it - it helps keep me uplifted, energized and hopeful. (and we ALL have days when we need a little boost!)
Here are a few of my secret inspiration pick-me-ups.
I LOVE receiving Daily Quotes and here are 2 FREE resources that I adore:
1) http://www.kristincoach.com/ I love the quotes Kristin has chosen - always seem to come in exactly when I need them!
2) http://www.tut.com/ Mike Dooley was one of the featured speakers on The Secret - he is weird (but in a lovely way) and I absolutely love his “Notes From The Universe.” In fact - I went out and bought both of the books!
Andddddddd - if you want some Daily SALES INSPIRATION - then you had better click here for my 365 Daily Sassy and Savvy Sales Quotes From Your Sales Diva!
(They aren’t free - but they may AS WELL BE - I only charge $27 for the ENTIRE YEAR.)

You’ll get a laugh, you’ll get a different perspective and you’ll also get some resources, and the people who receive my DAILY quotes say this:
“Kim -where have you been all my sales life???
Like I said before, I LOVE your stuff!”

OK - I have a silly confession for you!
Something I use to refresh my brain and to put the end to writer’s block - is to play this hilarious little word unscramble game called Chicktionary.
(Because really - all of us need a little brain break with some chocolate!)
It’s a game that tests how many words you can form from the letters given by the chickens.
It’s funny - the chickens even “squawk” at you when you screw up and honest-to-goodness it really does the trick for me!

(Just wait - I’m working on my New York Times Best Seller)
Have fun!
There is a resource out there for you that applies to all types of business.
It doesn’t matter whether you own a retail store, have an internet based business or you are in the service industry.
And this resource is FREE.FREE. FREE.
However - you’re probably NOT using it.
What is it?
You guessed it - THE MEDIA.
So Why Aren’t YOU Sending Newsreleases
To Your Local and National Media?
Easy. You’re:
- Scared to. ” Me - ON CAMERA - forget it!”
- Insecure. ” Why would they want to hear from me??”
- Unsure of what to do. ” What topics would they want to know about?”
- Worried you’ll look or sound stupid. ” I might screw up my words!”
- Thinking they might throw tomatoes at you. (They won’t!)
One of the BEST ways to attract attention to your business is to get into the media.
And 2 of the best resources that I have used are 2 incredible ladies:
1) Joan Stewart. The Publicity Hound www.publicityhound.com
2) Jill Lublin. Promising Promotion. www.promisingpromotion.com
Both of these ladies offer fabulous free info on their ezines, have wonderful teleclasses etc and blogs.
Trust me - I’m a woman who worked in the Canadian national television media for 15 years - if you want MORE MONEY - you need MORE MEDIA attention.
So there.
One of the best strategies I did for my business this year was to launch a viral movie.
What’s viral? Wellll - when people see your 60-minute inspiring message they send it on to some one else and so on and so on.
My movie is http://www.thesalesdivasmovie.com/
Two good friends of mine also produce viral movies and I just love their stuff.
They are fabulous to watch when you just need to be inspired and only have a few minutes!

Something I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doing is following up with clients in unique ways.
(Yes - I am the person that once Fed-Ex’d a football with my proposal wrapped around to it to a huge football fan client)
Remember - anyone can send a boring email.
The one I hate and you had better NOT ever use?
” Hi John - I just wanted to touch base/check to see/ if you had reviewed…”
Gag.
Be creative lady! But remember - you have to make sure it is relevant.
Here’s a FREE sales resource I recently found in O Magazine - I’ve used it already and my clients contacted me back ASAP - they loved it!

Have fun following-up!!
Love, Kim
I love the internet! I’ve made connections all over the world - sometimes while lying down on the couch with my trusty laptop.

Print it off and then hit the couch or deck chair and enjoy!
