If they don't know you exist . . .

I talked a few weeks ago about raising your profile. Something I have been working on myself in a fairly focused manner for the past year or so. Before that I was just kidding myself. Why? Well, I reckon for me it had something to do with being born British! It's just not nice to brag - thats the way I was brought up.

But over the years I have discovered a key principle about selling. "If they don't know you exist, they can't buy from you!"

My heart was warmed tonight as I noticed a blog entry from one of my individual clients. (I don't work with many as the focus of The Really Big Impact Company is on transformation of sales results in corporates). He not only got some great breakthroughs in our coaching session last night, but has already started putting into practice what he discovered. The very same night!

So if you are looking for information and regular updates on the Singapore property market, I advise you to keep connected with his blog

I am told he is also going to start a property info e-newsletter soon, so don't miss it. Watch for Ace Wong, that young man is going places!

If you are interested in what personal performance coaching can do for you read this blog or go to our website and sign up for my sales tips newsletter.
There is an article running in five parts about how coaching can help individual or corporate sales teams there. Alternatively go to The Really Big Impact Company and request the free report 5 Steps to Guarantee ROI From Training.

A final tip, If you are serious about raising your profile, visit Suzanne Falter-Barnes at Painless Self Promotion. She has some great insights available. I am very fussy about the newsletters I subscribe to, but I have been an avid reader of Suzanne's for a while. It is worth the time spent.

So go on. Don't be British! If you are good at what you do - let them know.
