Social Equity, the best thing about Social Networking

Social Equity, the best thing about Social Networking: "Being sold yourself is of great importance when we utilize social networking in business. There is an acronym that says, “iasm stands for I am sold myself” In fact I think this is true about anything we hope to share with others."

Admitting What You Don't Know

Certainly we all do our best to be the best we can be. But let's face it, we don't know everything. At least I know I don't know everything. For years as a younger sales person I used to think I had to know it all. I believed this so much that I would fake like I knew what I was talking about with my prospects and fellow sales associates.

The interesting thing about faking it is that the people who know more than we do will know right off that bat that we're faking it. Oh, they may not say anything but believe me they know. I used to hear the saying "fake it til you make it" as I was getting started in sales. To this day I wish I never heard this statement. Thank God a seasoned veteran in sales got a hold of me and helped me understand that it is OK to say, "I don't know but can I find out and get back with you" These words were so liberating. I had finally reached a point of not having to put so much pressure on myself to be the end all be all sales guy.

Admitting what we don't know has some great advantages:

1. We relieve ourselves from unnecessary pressure of having to have all the answers

2. We put our clients at ease because they don't think we're a know it all

3. We get the opportunity to learn from our colleagues

4. We experience a more natural maturation process

5. We will eventually become a mentor to others because we've been there and done that

Talk about being a free man! I'm a free man today because I don't hesitate to ask others for assistance on my behalf and on behalf of my clients.

Using audio in your marketing campaign

Using audio in your marketing campaign can mean the difference between night and day. Working on the internet is a wonderful tool but it has limited emotional connection unless you're a wonderful writer. The best of writers can do well without audio but us who just write OK can use all the help we can get.

I know many people talk about video being better than audio. In my opinion video is a little bit more complicated because you have to prepare to be seen and heard vs. just preparing to be heard on audio. I've done both and actually do both. But the media I prefer which is much faster to prepare for and also get others to participate with me is audio.

Let's get back to the benefits of using audio.

1. Audio can bring an emotional connection with your audience that gives them a sense of who you are.

2. Audio allows you to tell your story in your own words to those who prefer hearing a voice rather than reading.

3. Audio gives your clients another option to better understand what you are communicating.

4. Audio along with the written word reinforces what you intend to communicate.

5. Audio adds a little flare to your presentation.

6. Audio sets you apart from your competitors.

7. Audio gives you a professional advantage.

8. Audio says to your clients that you care enough to go the extra mile.

9. Audio intrigues your client because it's different.

10. Audio helps you learn your craft because you want to impress those who listen.

There are lots of fun things you can do with audio. I use it because it's quick to set up and it gives me an upfront advantage when I'm trying to connect with first time readers of my blog. Hope you received something of value here.

Stay after it,

Ced Reynolds

New ministry addition of Small Biz Prayer Network

During the time I've been involved with the Small Biz Prayer Network there has always been this tug to go directly to business owners and pray with them. Don't get me wrong, I have done just that but it's been more hit and miss.

Today I want to let you business owners who are in the Inland Empire know that I will be coming to you to pray with you for your business. For those of you who are part of the network just call and I'll put you on my schedule to pray with you.

The days that we are living in is certainly a time for business owners to continue to offer the services and products your offer. More than that it is a time to minister in the marketplace like never before. Your clients, your employees, your vendors need peace. You already know I'm not talking about the peace that the world gives. The peace of God has to rule in the hearts of the believer more today than ever before.

In closing, I need your help. If you can begin to pray for your fellow business associates, that would do a world of wonders to soften their hearts to hear God regarding being more bold for Jesus during these tough economic times.

My prayer for you today is that the Lord would use you to do the work of an evangelist to make full proof of your ministry. Believe it or not, you have been placed in a position of being a marketplace evangelist. I believe God has great plans for Christian business owners who will not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.

Signing off for now...

Stay blessed,

Kingdom Realities in Business

Click here or above to access free Business Assessment Tool


Business owners are always going to conferences. But for what? Is there something they could get from a Christian conference that they couldn't get from a sales conference? Find out for yourself.

Kingdom Conferences are happening all over the world. It not by coincidence that God has men and women focusing on preaching and teaching about the Kingdom of God. Believers are in a pivotal time in history where we need to be the difference makers.

There is no other way for us to see any change in our cities if we don't or won't receive what God is doing today. Of course the message of the Kingdom of God isn't new. God established it long before any of us were born. The point is that if it was important enough for Jesus to preach and have the Father send us the Holy Spirit, it must be important today. The Holy Spirit is tugging at the purse strings of our hearts to say what Jesus said and do what Jesus did. After all the Holy Spirit's role in the earth is to testify of Jesus.

I want you to consider joining me and others as we point out the Realities of the Kingdom during CentrePoint's 1st ever Kingdom Realities Conference. The conference will especially be enlightening for business owners. It will start Saturday May 31, 2008 - Mon June 2, 2008. You'll never be the same once you discover what God truly had in mind for you as a citizen of His Kingdom.

Conference Location:
CentrePoint Christian Fellowship

Small Biz Prayer Update

We've been having some really good meetings lately. In fact a few people (including me) have been receiving referrals that have led to new business.

We've been experiencing wonderful times of prayer for our businesses and we're believing God for great things to happen. We're learning how to be more directed by the Holy Spirit as business owners.

Things are looking really good for the business owners of both our groups. We're growing together and prospering together. Rather you attend or not, know that you're being prayer for every week.

This is networking at it's finest. In the presence of fellow believers it's good to know we've got each other's back in prayer.

Stay blessed,

Ced Reynolds
