Well it’s that time of year again – mulled wine by a log fire and mince pies until your trousers are tight around the waist.

This year I have a gift for you which will help you be more persuasive with your clients when you communicate with them in 2009, but before you go charging off to go and get your gift, one small piece of advice…

As with any piece of marketing advice, it is only ever beneficial to you it you ACT ON IT.

Lack of action is one of the biggest reasons businesses stagnate and die, and while we are in the economic climate we are in, now is NOT a good time to remain actionless!

Each week, if you look at one piece of advice, or one technique, or one strategy and take action to apply it to your business, in 12 months time you would have 52 new strategies working for you, growing your business – you’d have a powerhouse.

Anyway, subscribers to my newsletter will shortly receive an email which has a link and information which you will need to take action on, to receive your gift – if you are not already subscribed then you can do so here:

So when you receive the email, go and get your gift and then implement just one idea from it. Think of this as a warm up for the many marketing actions you are going to commit to take during 2009!

Now, the observant among you have noticed that I have been absent for the past few weeks, but it has been with good reason…

… one of my most clients has had panic attacks.

She has had SERIOUS concerns as to whether she will still have a business this time next year, so I have had to do a bit of crisis management as well as system implementation in her business – we should start to see results over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

But, as a direct result of this, what I have also been doing is creating a series of modules which teach foundation strategies and tactics – which can be used by any company, of any size, and in any industry – that will start the process of stabilising and then actively growing a business.

I will be launching the Programme for general release next year, and will be releasing more information about it over the next month or so. I can’t say any more than that as some of the things are still under wraps, but it’s worth watching your mail box as I will be telling you how you can claim free modules during the first part of 2009.

In the meantime, have a great Christmas and I look forward to talking to you again in the New Year.

Now, onwards…

… to your success!
