This Month's Suggested Read:
The Greatest Salesman in the World
by Og Mandinoz
First published in 1968, Og Mandino's classic remains an invaluable guide to a philosophy of salesmanship. Mandino's clear, simple writing style supports his purpose: to make the principles of sales known to a wide audience. A parable set in the time just prior to Christianity, The Greatest Salesman in the World weaves mythology with spirituality into a much needed message of inspiration in this culture of self-promotion. Mandino believes that to be a good salesperson, you must believe in yourself and the work you are doing. It is a simple but profound spiritual philosophy about how to succeed in the world's marketplace, easily understood and easy to take to heart.

Can you answer the question, 'What do you do?'
By Rhonda Abrams, USA TODAY
In the business world, fall is networking season. You're going to be going to networking meetings, industry gatherings, trade shows and meetings. And one question comes up repeatedly: "What do you do?"
That's where your elevator pitch comes in. An elevator pitch is a short, clear description of your company. It's called an "elevator pitch" because you might meet a potential customer or investor in an elevator, and you'd need to be able to tell them what you do in just the few seconds you have together.
An elevator pitch is absolutely, positively critical for your marketing - and business - success. You'll use your elevator pitch over and over again: not only at networking events, but whenever you need to tell someone about your company. You'll use it on your website and in your marketing materials. Read the rest of the article here...

When the Economy is Hurting, Do This More Than Any Other Thing...
by Stan Dubin
When the economy is in rough shape, one of the primary considerations of business owners is to "cut back." Cut back on expenses, cut back on staff, cut back in any way they can.
I'm here to tell you one area you must not cut back on: Promotion!
The key to doing well when the economy goes sour is to promote like crazy. I'm not telling you to spend every dime on promotion, but you must promote with an even greater intensity than before.
Go back and look at all of the promotional actions you took that were successful. Put back in every one that's feasible.
Cutting back on promotion is never a good solution. When the economy weakens, it is even more vital that you ignore the impulse to reduce your promotional output.
