I don’t know about you but I will not miss 2009. And I am so glad it is over.

With that said, I have learned more about my business, my customers, my partners and myself in the last 365 days than I have in the last 40 years. So before we get rolling in 2010, let’s take summary of what we learned in 2009. What would you do differently? What did you do right?

THAT DAMN RECESSION
Like many in this country, I (more…)

Today, the unemployment numbers came out and it is now 10%. Let’s face reality. That’s 17+ million people out of work. It will take several years to get them back in the system. So, you need to be prepared to face a few years of a sluggish economy.

Here’s what you need to understand. (more…)

Today’s video is about “Are You 100% In The Sales Game?”

Let’s face it, the business environment we are in is competitive. You need to do whatever we can to gain a competitive edge over the competition. Whether its exercise or updating and improving your skill sets. You need to do whatever we can to be 100% in the game.

That’s the question you need to ask yourself.

Let’s face it. Much of the growth of the last decade or so was too reliant on credit. Business owners grew their companies through leverage and credit thinking that sales would continue thereby being able to service their debt.

And individuals relied to heavily on credit to grow their households and now that credit is tight, what are we to do?

Well there is one answer and one answer only. If you want to grow your business revenue or grow your personal income, you only have one choice:

“You must increase your cash flow the old fashion way. You must do it through SALES.”

That’s right. Good old fashion hard work and sales skill. It’s all up to you.

There has never been a time, in most of our lifetimes at least, when our skill and ability to sell in a down and recovering economy has been so crucial to success (and survival).

I understand this challenge all too well. I know what it is like to go through a down turn. For instance, in the last tech recession, I’ve used my sales skill to make more money than I had ever made before. How did I do it? I simply adapted to the market conditions and I learned to sell how people where buying.

Now, I would like to help you do the same. I’ve created a new workshop called “Reinventing Sales Performance”.

I invite you to take a look at it. It may be the “something” that stands between you enjoying a banquet or settling for sales crumbs.

Today’s video is on “Who Decides What You Can Do In This Down Turn?”

Im hearing more and more conversations going on everywhere I turn and the tone is alarming. I find that people are feeling helpless. Almost like they are giving up their power to make changes in their lives and waiting for some outside source like the government to help them.

If you or someone you know is feeling this way, please watch and share this video. I’d love to get your feedback so make sure to post your comments below or email me directly at rvela@StreetSmartSolutionProvider.com.
