We have been working on this for a while — AND IT’S NOT DONE YET. Regardless, it is now at a point where we are excited to introduce you to PHASE ONE.

PromoEQP is participating in a Distributor-led Sales Development Workshop. Volunteers are needed.

Based on the discussions stemming from the October Mid-Month email, PromoEQP is making a call for Distributor Volunteers to test a new SALES FOCUSED WORKSHOP.

To suggest I have “thoughts” about our Industry failing to support the development and growth of our Sales Professionals would be a gross misstatement. The truth is, that there has been an active initiative to create a Sales Development and Growth program for the better part of the year. 

Now this program is primed to be tested — and further evolved to meet the needs of Distributors.

SHORT STORY, BIG PICTURE  

REST to RECHARGE

Rise and grind. Early bird gets the worm. Let’s get this bread. Hustle culture in today’s workplace is great and produces some amazing results, but every battery runs out of juice at some point.

Sure, it’s the holiday season and a lot of us are going to get away from the screens a bit… did you give yourself any time this past year to rest and recharge?

Today’s Short Story is a piece to help you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture.

“All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy” is an old proverb that we have all heard at one time in our lives, but do we actually execute what it stands for? Here are three things you can try to take some time away from the almighty screen:

SHORT STORY, BIG PICTURE  

Proactively Sell Yourself

I have been writing this blog for a year now. Throughout the previous 12 blogs, you have read about crafting a quality introduction, being careful about who you listen to, and making sure you actually “want to” be doing this. You have read these blogs because you are proactive. You don’t wait for business or opportunities to come to you, you go out and get them!

Today’s Short Story is a piece that helps you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture.

Maybe you read that paragraph above and thought, “Do I actually go out and get the business or do I work really hard on finishing a project that I forget to make that next sale?” Here are three things you and your business can do to proactively keep that order pipeline full:

… and it’s only partially because I’m still obsessing over the Summer Olympics.

The simple fact is that we haven’t been doing uniforms correctly… Let me walk that back a bit. Distributors engaged in the sales of uniforms have done a square job of positioning this item as the current standard sees fit. The problem is that the current standard that buyers have been operating under is changing right in front of our eyes.

Based on the trends that are appearing in the larger marketplace… If you aren’t presenting a uniform that dresses Head-to-(LITERAL) Toe, then you aren’t presenting the full uniform.

SHORT STORY, BIG PICTURE  

Are you Reactively Selling?

No matter how hard we try to get in front of our customer’s needs we still get the occasional, “I need these products like yesterday” requests. How we handle these situations can make or break the customer relationship.

Today’s Short Story is a piece that helps you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture.

Reactive selling (waiting for the customer to call you) is a useful strategy as you don’t look pushy, but it can lead to rushed orders or worse, being unable to fill their request. Here are three things you can do to make the overall experience better:

So, yeah... Now there's a Podcast

unBRNDed - EP1 - Martin Atkins

There has always been a discussion over putting out a podcast. The question we faced was: Does PromoEQP do this “in-house”, OR do we identify a respected industry voice that has something powerful to say — that’s on brand with PromoEQP’s mission?

The problem with doing a podcast in-house, is that after the 4th or 5th episode, most everyone would realize that I’m really just a broken record. Seriously, I’m essentially ALWAYS saying some deviation of the same thing:

SHORT STORY, BIG PICTURE  

The Voices that Influence

One of the modern ways business owners choose to educate themselves on trends is by listening to or watching business-related podcasts, videos, or webinars. However, finding the RIGHT voices to listen to can be a daunting task as all business owners vary in the way they approach the day-to-day.

Today’s Short Story is a piece that helps you achieve your long-term goals, aka the Big Picture.

Whether we choose to admit it or not, when we listen to outside voices, we tend to take what is being said as gospel and start acting on what we hear. This is why choosing who we listen to is so important and here are three things to look for when making that choice:

What Jeremy learned on Summer Vacation

The power of the Water Bottle (and reusable cups)… Uniforms MUST include shoes… The surprising practicality and imprint-ability of the Hand Fan… TOTES… Fanny Packs are for security… Olympic Fan-Zones connected ALL OF FRANCE to the Olympics… Previously received Promo Products RULED the Parisian streets.

Just to be clear… This is about to become an absolute OBSESSION for me. There are at least 4 pages of bullet-pointed notes that I created surrounding imprinted products and the Paris 2024 Olympics (and each bullet-point deserves to be an entire write-up in and of themselves.) continue reading

Q4 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. CONNECTING TODAY HAS THE POWER OF REMINDING THEM HOW MUCH THEY WILL BE NEEDING YOU TOMORROW.

We always talk about the power of the Distributor / Buyer relationship. Unfortunately, all too often our Industry’s message devolves into speaking about new digital programs you should be driving buyers to… OR new back-office systems you should be buying to store more information about those buyers… OR new social media marketing platform you could invest in to stay in front of your buyer.

My thing is… If you’re only dealing with “Buyers”, then they haven’t become Customers – and the only one who can change that is YOU.

So, what is the value of focusing on moving buyers over to Customers?
