Businesses want a Full Parking Lot

Posted by Bruce on February 2, 2012 · 1 Comment 

I have worked with Grocery Chains, Grocery Stores, Ice Businesses, Insurance Companies, Bread Company, Online Businesses and Home Businesses for over 30 years. One of the main things they all have in common is that they all want a full parking lot. It doesn’t matter if they have many store fronts, on-line website or a home business they all need customers to succeed. They all need to keep growing each year by finding more customers and filling up their parking lots.

There are many ways we can fill up our parking lots for our businesses. I am not saying it is easy, it will take “EFFORT”. I know it isn’t just one thing that will fill your parking lot. It may take trying new things, things you may never have tried or things that feel out of the box. A famous quote I like is how Albert Einstein defined Insanity:

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” by Albert Einstein
How many times have you kept doing the same things but hoping for different results? Here are a few quick hitters to help fill up your parking lot:
1. Talk to your Customers and Potential Customers – Ask them what they want. Ask them what problems they have that they need solved. Then work on solving their problems. Some really successful people in the business world have got out of their comfort zone and asked people to do business with them. A great leader for a Major grocery chain went door to door when he got his first store and introduced himself. I’ve done that at stores I ran in the past and it does work. I would gave them a flier with coupons to come in and shop with us. I then invited them to come in and see our improved store, I would let them know that we would really appreciate their business. How many towns have you lived in that a business owner came to your door and asked for your business? Why not also talk to your current customers and talk to them, ask for ideas and more. You don’t have to be a business owner or store director to do this. I have known many department managers do this or their employees.
2. Net work with other successful business leaders. Expand the people in your business world. I like to surround my self with positive and forward thinking people. People that don’t say the word “Can’t”. I like to surround myself with people who believe anything is possible. I believe we can learn from everyone we meet. Two people can accomplish more than one person.
3. Study successful businesses. Visit them and see what they are doing. See what you can learn from them. It doesn’t have to be in the same line of business that you are in. For instance if you run a Grocery Store you could learn from successful book store, car dealer to a restaurant. Find out why people are drawn to them and why people keep coming back to their businesses. If you have a website study other websites that have a lot of traffic and find the things they are doing different.
Be patient. It may not happen overnight. Your parking lot may grow gradually. Be patient and keep focused on filling up your parking lot. I have always felt customer count was one of the most important measures of how you are doing. Is your customer count or website traffic increasing or decreasing? Be patient, some people give up too early and throw in the towel. Coke for instance sold like $50 in pop their first year and lost money, now they are know world wide as a major pop company. Good thing they didn’t quit after their first year.  Please let me know how you have filled up your parking lot over the years.

Time for a New Year – Goals review of the Past and Goals for the Future

Posted by Bruce on January 4, 2012 · 2 Comments 

 

Last year was a Good Year

2011 just seemed to fly by and here it is 2012 already. I am so grateful for my life. Each year of my life seems to get better and better. Do you see your life as that? Or do you dwell on what things didn’t go well or that you don’t have.

I am thankful for my family, friends and mentors in my life. Each one of you are unique and touch my life in a special way. You help open up my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. You help challenge me to keep improving. If you don’t have a mentor that is helping you see a new world of possibilities or that is challenging you than go out and find one.

I am thankful that my kids keep moving forward in their lives. My daughter has graduated from college and moving to a different state to teach school. My son may be graduating in three years with his BA degree from a major University. I am so proud of them. They both keep following their dreams without fear. They aren’t afraid about moving to different states or meeting new people. I am sure they will be great leaders their whole life. I am so proud of them both.

I am thankful for my mom and sister who have such a great outlook on life. They are so supportive and loving. They are so helpful to others and care so much for others. My three nieces keep growing up so fast. Last year was a great year for Amanda winning State High School bowling tournament and then Ashley won the Gold Medal at State Finals in Bowling this year. All three nieces take after my Dad who was a great bowler and coach. Do you help share your talents with others?

I am thankful for my friends at work, coaches, speakers and others that help me grow in my business. You all help me continue to learn and improve and keep my mind open to new ideas. What network do you have? Do you network with others at work or in your business? If not their are many groups around the country that you can find like minded people. Even using social media like Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin. You can network with me on all three sites.

Goals from 2011 Review

Overall I am happy with the goals I hit or worked towards in 2011. I am not upset over the goals I didn’t hit because I know I made progress and learned from them. Seems during the year goals change on how important each one is. Did you hit your goals from last year? Here are some of the goals I set last year and what progress I made towards them.

1. To better relationships – I did spend more time on the golf course this week with friends and making new friends. I did change bowling teams and creating new friendships with other bowlers. One of my friends went through a divorce last year so it was nice to be able to be there for him and it is good how well he is doing. One of my close friends got promoted to another state so that is good for him and his family but a bummer that he will be so far away. I have made new friendships i work and outside of work that I really appreciate it and I thank them all. Even though I didn’t fall in love in 2011 I feel I had a great year for improving my relationships with others.

2. To get my book published – Finally my bookdid get published in November of 2011. I started it back in 2008 and appreciate the good work the publisher did on it. Book sales not started out as strong as I hoped for yet. But I will keep working on selling more in 2012. I know it can help so many people around the world.

3. Lose 15lbs – 2011 I did lose about 4 lbs. Between golfing, traveling, pop at work and traveling too much did not help my eating habits. I did lose weight during the year and gained it back. Argh… I did start back exercising again two months ago so feel 2012 will be a even better year. I feel that is what helped me bowl 300 game last month in my bowling league. I have more energy when I exercise and am losing weight.

Goals for the New Year and moving ahead

You may say I am crazy or thing yourself is crazy by your goals for the new year. I feel I am wiser each year. So here is my goals for 2012 moving ahead:

1. Improve all my relationships from personal to business. Network more with Entrepreneurs, Coaches and Speakers. To find people to join my team in business and communicate will with them to help them reach their goals also. To fall in love, someone to spoil and enjoy life together.

2. To write my fifth book for Business success. Using my 37 years of expereince in the business world and grocery business. I hope to help other business grow and be more successful with the book.

3. To help over a million people around the world with my Books, CD’s, Coaching and Speeches. I would also like to hit all 50 states. So far I have helped people in 41 states and 13 countries. Even if I help people in a little way it will change their lives for ever.

4. In sports I would like to get a hole in one golfing, shoot in the 60′s one round, bowl another 300 game and 800 series.

5. To get in really good shape. Lose few more lbs and keep working out to stay toned.

6. Would like to take three vacations during the year to recharge.

7. To continue my education by learning from others at classes, seminars and more.

What are your Goals in the New Year?

Leave me a comment below on what your goals are for the next year. Tell others about your goals. Be accountable for them and make them happen. When you write them down and tell others it makes your goals even stronger.

THE NEW TEXT CASH NETWORK VIDEO by BRIAN MCLANE

Brian McLane A True Leader in Global Marketing had the following video produced for his team and is going to make it available for all of T.C.N. on Monday. The T.C.N. Management and Leaders thank Brian McLane for his Awesome Leadership contributions to Text Cash Network.

To get a sneak peak at the new T.C.N. Video go to:

THEMLMBUZZ.COM

The above video is a sneak preview and not for distribution.

TEXT CASH NETWORK vs GROUPON / LIVING SOCIAL

IN THE FIRST 20 HOURS Many of you have already earned The Thanks Giving $1000 Rewards Gift Card and there is still 82 Hours to go before Sunday at Midnight.

Note these same gift cash promotions will be available to all our corporate text advertisers in 2012. We just did a small promotion for a major restaurant chain in the USA and in 3 days drove 50,000 customers into their restaurant. It was so successful they have already put in another order for a big promotion in January 2012. Please note that we have been in this space for over 5 years and already have fortune 500 companies using these reward dollars such as national banks, airlines, cable companies and power companies.

This is an major edge that Text Cash Network will have over Groupon, Living Social and other Daily Deal type offers.

TEXT CASH NETWORK vs GROUPON / LIVING SOCIAL EXAMPLE:

Groupon/Living Social offers consumers $50 of merchandise for $25. Groupon/Living Social collects the $25 and the merchant now needs to give $50 in merchandise up front to it’s customer. Remember the customer paid Groupon/Living Social. Note this can put a merchant into a serious cash flow problem. Then 60 to 90 days later Groupon/Living Social will give the merchant $12.50 for the $50 of merchandise already given to the customer 60 to 90 days prior.

NOW COMPARE THIS TO TEXT CASH NETWORK.

Text Cash Network will offer its Members/Agents/Consumers the same $50 of merchandise for $25 and in addition to the $25 Coupon. The merchant also offer its Consumer a $100 in Gift Cash. The merchant is paid the $25 direct from the Consumer giving the merchant instant cash flow for their merchandise or service. In fact because of the GIFT CASH the merchant may not have to go as high as 50% and give a 30% discount instead and still have a higher perceived discount than the 50% Groupon/Living Social Offer.

NOW COMPARE DOLLAR COST WITH T.C.N. vs ALL OTHERS

Based on only 100 Coupons/Discount Offers Average $25.

Merchant pays $1250 to Groupon on 1st Offer.
Merchant pays ZERO* to T.C.N. on 1st Offer (see why below).

Merchant pays $1250 to Groupon on offers thereafter.
Merchant pays $299 to T.C.N. on offers thereafter.

*The T.C.N. PROFIT-SHARE pays for merchants 1st offer sold via The T.C.N. Sales Division called O.T.A.N. which is Optin Text Ad Network dedicated to calling and advertising to every major traditional business in the world.
