You should be able to list more than 100 people easily. You can find out their contact details later. If you have an existing business database you may already have thousands of contacts but they will need sorting.

Editor's Notes
- Explain a bit about Achieve and Connect
- Explain about the workshops
- Discussion Questions to ask group: How do you feel about selling? What do you like about selling? What don’t you like about selling? What are your fears about selling?
- Most people should be able to list more than 100 - 200 people easily. Imagine if you get those 200 people to tell the 200 people that they know about your business - that is a 40,000 people hearing about your business. And if those people all talk about your business you have reached 8,000,000 people! So, how do you get those 200 people to talk about your business?
- Write down all the things you do and places you go
- Be Passionate Passion is contagious! A passionate person can sell ice to an Eskimo or sand in a desert! Passion sells without selling. Passion is an effective sales tool because it is authentic and can’t be faked for a long period of time. You might see passion as something that is expressed in talking but might be surprise to learn that passion is also shown through listening. A truly passionate business woman will take time to listen to her clients so that she can really understand their need and serve them to the best of her ability. Noise and lots of talking isn’t the recipe for passion but a deep and true belief in what you have to offer is. Passion is fervour, enthusiasm and even obsession. Not only do you need to be passionate about your product or service but you also need to have a passion for people. Some women are naturally energised by being around people but others are more introverted and really have to work at being in crowds or dealing with people regularly. If you are the former you may need to learn to become passionate about listening and if you are the latter you will need to learn to be passionate about talking. Both personality types can learn to be passionate and to find the balance between talking and listening. Discussion Questions to ask group: What are you passionate about? What do you need to become passionate about?
- Business data can decay at the rate of 25% or more per annum so if you don’t check your data every year you are likely to have useless data in four years time.
- Care About people Focus on having a conversation with people rather than on selling. Learn about their needs and ask yourself if you have anything to offering that can meet their need. If people feel that you genuinely care about them and are not just using them to make money, they will trust you and be loyal to you and your business. The key though is to genuinely care and not use caring as a sales tactic. Become a caring person rather than one who cares to sell. Write down how you can show people that you care in the context of business. Discussion Questions to ask group: Do you really care? Be brutally honest. If not rather do something that you do care about and that will help you care more about people.
- Conformers that lived through the war and were raised with a great deal of discipline and respect Veterans Attitude Towards Money: Pay cash and save Write down the name of some of your Veteran clients and what you can do to better connect with them.
- Optimists that value what they have and have had to work hard for it, they live to work. Baby Boomers Attitude Towards Money: Use Credit Write down the name of some of your Baby Boomer clients and what you can do to better connect with them.
- Sceptics that grew up with absent parents who were very busy working hard. This generation were the first to have computers and therefore value efficiency. They tend to have a work to live attitude. Generation X Attitude Towards Money: Save Write down the name of some of your Generation X clients and what you can do to better connect with them.
- Realists that have a short concentration span as technology has given them everything instantly. Generation Y Attitude Towards Money: Earn to spend Write down the name of some of your Generation Y clients and what you can do to better connect with them.
- Write a brief description of who brings the money in. It would be ideal to have an avatar for all four generations.
- Write a brief description of who brings the money in. It would be ideal to have an avatar for all four generations.
- Put yourself in their shoes when you create your keep in touch system. What would you like to receive? What offers would interest you? What form of communication would you like? What would wow you and impress you? Start to think like them, consider who they are, what they do, what they like. Create a strategy that is both personal but also possible to maintain consistently.
