The sun is shining this week!
Time to get out there and do
some harvesting!
As they always said at the farm,
it's time to
make hay while the sun shines!
Everyone knows that the best time to
harvest hay is when the sun is shining.
Wet hay is hard to cut and bale and
ends up rotting.
Same goes for sales.
When the sun is shining,
people are happier,
more productive,
and more
open-minded.
I'll bet you're already
happier and
more optimistic.
Let's meet this week at
Updike's Coffee Shop on
Boston Neck Road in
North Kingstown.
We'll talk about how to make
good things happen
in your business
and in your life!
The sun is shining!
SEE YOU THIS THURSDAY MORNING
APRIL 15TH AT 8AM!!
Got questions?
Call me at home

NATIONAL SMILE WEEK
Spring arrived yesterday (Saturday), and since then it has been just glorious! Warm weather means warm clients and marks the end of the doldrums of winter.
I am calling this "National Smile Week," only because I think this is the time to smile and be more friendly and use this action to keep your business moving forward.
Your smile is a great tool for disarming the sourpuss, entrancing the mildly awake, and standing out in every opportunity to set yourself apart from the numerous sad sacks that seem to dominate in every situation. Attiude matters. Your winning smile can make all the difference between great success and abject disappointment.
Just smile.
This Thursday we'll talk about how your internal attitude is made obvious to clients by how they perceive your outside appearance. Key among all these outside characteristics is your smile.
Bring your best smile and your positive attitude to our Coffee Conversation this coming Thursday morning. We'll talk about how to turn your smile into more business.
Btw, smiling is the greatest low-cost, no-cost tool your business has!
If you have questions in the meantime or simply want to get a jump on the competition, please call me anytime at 401-667-0971.
Please mark your calendar to attend my next Coffee Conversation at Updike's in North Kingstown on Thursday morning, March 25th at 8:00am.
See you again soon-

Boosting Customer Counts
THIS WEEK'S FOCUS
Increasing the number of customers frequenting your retail location or viewing your web site is important for several reasons:
1- All businesses lose customers constantly, due to moving, job loss, death, change in family status, or change in lifestyle choices.
2- You need to think about how to replace lost customers and incorporate your strategy as one of your DAILY business activities.
3- Getting new customers, and MORE customers, will lead to long-term business growth, both in revenues and in the value of your business.
Interested in getting more customers?
We'll take up this subject as well as addressing your current business needs at our weekly Coffee Conversation on Thursday and begin the process of developing a plan to take you and your business to the next level.
Our weekly Coffee Conversations at Updike's NewTowne are getting noticed and people are excited! There's always room for you, too!
We'll meet you this Thursday morning, February 18th at 8am to help small business owners who want to grow their sales and profits and also help those who want to start-up their own enterprise to get started right.
Updike's NewTowne Coffee Roasting Company and Cafe is located at 7726 Post Road in North Kingstown (across from the town's main Post Office). This is the sixth in a weekly series of coffee conversations to boost businesses in our community.
Have questions? Call me anytime at 401-667-0971.

Boost Your Gross Revenues in 2010
January is over already!
As you make your plans for February and beyond, now is the time to create a strategy for increasing your gross revenues. This is the idea of maximizing every selling and service opportunity and monetizing those opportunities.
First, you need to set a sales goal.
What are your gross sales goals for each day, week, and month?
Remember: If they're not written, they're not real.
Write your sales goals. Read them out loud. Make plans to succeed.
Second, review your list of products and services that offer the possibility for increased sales. What are you overlooking that could help produce new revenues?
Third, come to our Coffee Conversation this Thursday, February 4th at 8am at Updike's NewTowne Cafe and join us to discuss how you can meet your sales goals and your business's need for growth in 2010.
I can help keep you focused on your goals.
In the meantime, call me anytime at 401-667-0971.
Best wishes for a successful week-
