Sports Teams are Looking for YOU!

Thank to Maureen for this great idea!
Guess what I found? It's right on our CMC Network website. You'll have to log in to link to this posting, but you'll be glad you did! Do you realize that your local sports teams, clubs, dance and drama groups, and organizations are taking professional and candid shots of their players and events - ALL THE TIME! And, do you realize that parents are paying amazing prices to have just that perfect shot of their star player or performer? They do it ALL THE TIME! They are really looking for YOU! Yes, YOU actually have the best package deal of any photographer around and you may not even realize it! Here's what I found today on cmc-network under the Digital Tab on our home page...click there, then go to Alternative Selling Methods, scroll to the very bottom with photo of Lise Brake and click on the sample links! Here's one to get your started! Oh my, you won't believe your opportunity RIGHT NOW....this month, this Spring, before school ends. Check it out!!!
Samples!
The samples posted here are from UL Jani Aguilar who made page prints available to her local highschool team. Check out the cmc-network links for some more INCREDIBLE ideas that you won't want to pass up right now! Even if you don't have kids at the highschool level, or even kids at home anylonger like me, you sure have a service to offer - so get on the phone and set up some appointments today with your local groups! UL Dawne Mylie on our team is doing that this week and I'll be excited to share her results on an upcoming blog post!

Planting Seeds

Special thanks to Ilene Meckley for this information!

Spring will officially be here in a couple of days. Business is so much like planting a garden. We first have to plant the seeds, and then we have to water, mulch and fertilize. We know some plants will grow easily and some plants require a lot of care. Some people even believe in talking to their plants. We want to be sure we help your business garden grow this Spring! More and more insects start to appear in the spring. ANT’s (automatic negative thoughts) are not fun to have around! Keep them from invading your business! We are having “Getting Rid of ANT’s “ parties this spring. You are invited! Call 702-673-0361 to attend this fun activity in your city.

Tips for your business garden:

Getting the soil ready--It is important the soil is ready to receive the plants. In a business garden that means working the day as you would prepare the ground--making a plan as to where you are going to make the contacts, just like you would make a plan as to where you will put the garden and when you will work on the garden throughout your daily routine.

Fertilizing--to make the soil richer is like doing the full service contact to be sure the person you talk to can be richer also! They can be enriched from all the services you offer. This is such an important step in the growing process. This is also a step in gardening that can be sometimes not so pleasant. We still do it because we know it is important.

Planting the seeds--we know that some will grow heartily, some will sprout and then die and some seedlings will never make an appearance. We know we have to plant many seeds to have a full, beautiful garden. This is the same philosophy needed for our business garden. Expect the no's, accept the no's and respect the no's in the same way as you would from the seeds in your garden. Focus on the plants that do make the garden so worthwhile working for.

Watering--this is the most important step to being sure the plants have what they need. Are you watering your business--making 5-10 contacts--knowing that you are watering your business with each contact?

In a nursery, there are so many types of plants to choose from and in your business, there are so many kinds of people and places to meet people. Spring is a time to get out more and meet new people. I have included a list of places where sharing can happen so naturally.
