Some great marketing tips!If you prospect a new street, You should mail 3 times in a 3-5 week period and then follow up every two months. if no results you should try a different message. Budget for and take the time to attend your companies national, convention and local sales rallies. It is a great way to network for referrals. Whenever possible you should use a corporate credit card for your expenses that earns points. This way you will get some added value from your every day expenditures. It should be attached to you bank account this way it is always paid on time and there are now finance charges. We are full of valuable information. You should have an outlet that allows you to get this information to the public, such as a blog or social group on the Internet.

 Picture So you have done your duty and placed your vote….now what? You GO BACK TO WHAT YOU ARE CALLED TO DO..  You CAN work hard, you CAN be kind, you CAN make a difference. In your family, in your friends, in your world. I have seen a pick up in activity since this election, take advantage of that in your business. Just tend the metaphorical plot of land you have been given and be thankful for that plot. It’s a good life. Go into each day with a song on your lips and joy in your heart. Why? Because Joy is a choice. It is not circumstantial, it is indeed-a choice. So choose Joy. The holiday season is coming up, we have about six (6) weeks left to finish the year strong, let’s GO!!!! Have an awesome week!  Karen  Give us a call today to discuss your commercial finance needs or get start...
