Facebook is Killing your Business

The Facebook Phenomenon can be Crippling

‘Friend this…’

‘Mafia Wars that…’

‘Invitation to this…’

‘Check out my cute photo (OMG too funny) that…’

More than 175 million people log in to Facebook daily.  The average user spends more than 55 minutes per day on Facebook.

Why should any of them be on company time?

My original office was in a suite where we had a joint front desk receptionist.  Everytime I walked out of my office I could view the receptionist's computer screen which would very quickly switch to some word or excel file when I opened the door.  The receptionist was constantly on Facebook... all day while she was working in between office projects.

Want office productivity to go up? 

Block the usage of Facebook on your company computers during working hours.  Yes, of course you can unblock Facebook during lunch.

Eradicate Cold Calling

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 01/29/2010 - 1:10am.

Once that is done so are your sales! Cold calling while on worthy calls is the most exciting and exillerating experiences a salesman can have. You do not know what can happen. I have had up to 30% of cold calls turn into orders in a given year. After all, by posting this aren't you trolling for cold clients?
Without cold calls, a salesman will shrink up and die. This is where it is possible to hone many of a salesman's skills. It is also how one stays in business and is successful in times like these. It opens doors into other markets and in the same markets that may have not been opened in any other way.
Irraticate Cold Calls? I think not!!

I agree but...

Anonymous,

I totally agree with you that cold calling is one of the most exciting things a sales person can do because of the challenge and mystery it brings to our day.

Yes, like you I am salesman at my core but what I have found is there are very few sales people like us in the profession of selling. That is, calling on the right prospects and really understanding how we help our customers with their business.

What we have found at ConnectionForce is most sales people just "go through the numbers" and never really understand who their ideal client is that has the greatest ROI from their product or service.

ConnectionForce.com was not designed to hinder great sales people like us, nor could it if we tried, but was created to weed out the bad sales people.

Thank you for your comment,
Hope to hear from you soon,

Chris
