In this episode, Karen and Cheryl discuss:

• Success Story of Cheryl

• Commit to Get Leads

• It is key to be out in the community - much of your best and most consistent clients will be from referrals. 

• Consult to Sell

• Tailor your interactions with clients to their unique needs, goals, and priorities. 

• Connect to Build and Grow

• Understand the stage of business you’re at. You may not need expensive or fancy tools to understand data - an Excel spreadsheet might be enough, but even if you’re company is small you should still be utilizing data. 

• Success Thinking, Activities and Vision

• Allow yourself to feel the negative emotions, but don’t stay stuck in them. Pick yourself up and move forward learning from those mistakes. 

• Sweet Spot of Success

 

"That is the downfall of a lot of business owners - they're not focused and data-driven. They're just trying to get to that next shiny object. But when you can really target in on the data, that's when you can see that tremendous growth." - Cheryl Heller
