Recently, I was part of a panel for a webinar titled "Quality Prospecting & Selling" sponsored by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. Even after 20+ years of being in sales, I learned some nifty new techniques from my fellow panelists.
You can watch this 30 minute video at www.nashvillechamber.tv.
Hope you discover a few new things as well!

It’s March 1 and we have snow on the ground! You just never know in Tennessee what to expect this time of year- we’ve had 70 degree weather in the past week or so and now snow. Unfortunately, it won’t last long as the sun will come out later today, we are told.
Being a native Nashvillian, I remember how we always got one or two GOOD snows (meaning you can’t get out on the streets or, at least, you shouldn’t). My Junior year in high school, we were out for TWO WEEKS due to snow and icy roads. We were so excited when we got up early to watch Snow Bird with Bill Hall to tell us NO SCHOOL.
I guess no matter how old you get, you’ll still enjoy the thought of a nice pretty snow and maybe a day at home with no guilt

In the event you have not seen this in the news yet, potential employers are now scouting out informationon MySpace before hiring new employees.
YES! Those funny pictures of you spazzing out at your best friends wedding or you REALLY enjoying spring break in Florida can be seen by your potential next employer. Or, more specifically, they could PREVENT them from being your next employer because they really aren’t looking for a party girl or party guy.
So, a word to the wise, be congnizant of what you are saying about yourself with posts and pictures on MySpace so you don’t eliminate yourself for a sought-after new job !

I attended a Linked In workshop yesterday and learned a few nuances about the site.
DID YOU KNOW? When you do not accept an invitation from someone you don’t know AND you mark it as "I don’t know them", their account gets "dinged". If an account gets five "dings" in one month, Linked In will flag that account and not allow to send invitations for a period of time. Likewise, if YOU send out invitations to those that don’t know you and they click on that answer, you will get your account flagged or "dinged" if five people do this in a one month period.
Moral of the story is to only send invitations to people that know you. If you aren’t certain they will remember your name, personalize the invitation referencing where you two met. And ask them to only "Decline" if they don’t accept your invitation as that does not ding your account.
My Linked In tip of the day!
