Transform Yourself into a Better Human being and a Successful Businessman

In life, we strive and do whatever it takes to succeed, but in doing so we are missing the most important factor that every businessman must think of... WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

The business world is filled with people we meet with different types of business, different products to sell but mostly we meet people who are involved in the same genre of business as ourselves. It's a natural tendency because where we work is where we focus our time and attention.

Sometimes we’re helping each other in a synergistic way and other times we’re competing for the same dollar from the same customer and this is natural result of the free market we enjoy.

Nobody's perfect! This old age saying applies not only to a person, but also to a product or services offered. No one lays claim to having a perfect product nor a perfect service, it simply has to have imperfections with it.

Having said that, we must always remind ourselves of the possibility that someone might be ahead of us, behind us, and often time both at the same time.

Nevertheless, we shouldn't let that be a hindrance nor a distraction from continuing forward with what we believe in. Instead, embrace the reality that competition is everywhere and this healthy competition is what drives and makes us better tomorrow than what we have today.

Sure, there will always be those that cut a few corners to cheat the system for a quick leg up on their competitors but those with Dark desires always end up in a losing battle.

Remember during Elementary, High School and College days we get to have our class Valedictorian, Cum Laude etc. Yet these titles never guaranteed our future success in business just as not winning these awards doomed us to a life of 2nd tier failure.

Because in business, it is not intelligence alone that creates our spot in the limelight. Determination, courage, guts and persistence are usually the factors that win in the end. Just making the decision to get up and head to the office one more Saturday and Sunday is often the difference between the winning and losing.

Its a game we grumble about but how we play the game makes all the difference and we cannot forget that in our world, there are 2 sides to everything. Sportsmanship on the field, in the workplace, and in business is what sets you apart so even if success doesn’t come your way the first time around, playing the game the right way will always present you with a second chance.

There’s no doubt you’re going to lose a few rounds but this journey has plenty of road to recover so you can celebrate the rounds you win.

In Your Next Webinar Invite a Guest Presenter to get Better Leads and Sales

In August of 2014, we launched a webinar series called Product Jams where we demonstrated specific features of our CloudNet360 business automation system. Most of the attendees at that time were CloudNet360 customers so the discussions were very relevant to their day-to-day work.

We noticed an interesting trend in the numbers of attendees and the questions asked during the early webinars. People were "interested" in seeing features they hadn't seen before. But, they were "inspired" to attend when we started focusing more on how those features contributed to lead generation and sales conversions.

The transition to having more sales and marketing focused webinars began when we invited Web Marketing All-in-One for Dummies co-author, Marty Dickinson, to be a regular presenter.

My point for this post is in three parts:

1. If you don't offer webinars to your customers and prospective audience, start now to show your customers you are always there to help them.
2. If you do offer webinars, invite guest experts to present watch your audience numbers increase...along with your leads and sales.
3. Know your industry trends and provide your customers HOT topics that will help them be more successful.

How Can a Guest Presenter Help Your Business?

In 2015, you're going to begin to see webinars announced where we will feature guest experts like the promo in the header image at the top of this post.

Judith Briles is a book publishing expert. What makes her such an expert?

33 published books and more than 1 MILLION book sales! That's plenty "expert" for anyone.

So, why would we invite Judith as a guest on our Product Jam webinars? Because writing a book is a GREAT way for you as a business owner, speaker, or coach to get more leads and sales.

Plus, Judith is a popular name in the book publishing field and she's a CloudNet360 customer. Her being a guest provides the opportunity for us to get more leads and sales as well as getting her introduced to a new audience. She will get more leads and sales out of the deal too and we would certainly recommend anyone thinking of writing a book to contact her immediately!

Let me explain this a bit further so you can apply this strategy to your own business.

Everything we do here at CloudNet360 is focused on the ultimate goal of getting more leads and sales. We help our customers with our system to get more leads and sales for their business and we work very hard at improving our own processes of lead generation and sales conversion.

Of course, we always tack-on to the end of that statement..."faster...with less reliance on technical helpers."

So, Judith will come onto the program and give what we call "JAM-packed" information about the why's and how's of writing a book and then we will roll those techniques into how they can be applied to getting more leads and sales...faster...with less reliance on technical help" using the CloudNet360 system.

Then, we will transition to using her book authoring techniques and apply them to how CloudNet360 can help increase leads and sales.

See our promotional blog post for the event, which was nearly identical in the email we sent out to our customer list.

Could we have produced our own webinar about the importance of writing a book? Sure. But, Judith is far more knowledgeable about the process as she is a recognized expert in that particular field.

You could do the same for your business by seeking a recognized expert and inviting that person to be a guest on your next webinar.

Why bring this up here...on LinkedIn, specifically? Well, we are connected with most of our customers here. So, it's a good way to let them know more Product Jam webinars are coming soon. We also use LinkedIn to connect with potential Channel Partners and people who recommend our product to their clients.

Will You Be Our Next Webinar Guest?

Judith published an eBook last week in under 2 hours, for free, and she didn't even write any of the book contents! So, she will be demonstrating a free web-based tool that no one knows about yet for book publishing. It's something new, fast, in high demand and it's even "sexy" in that people really want to know it.

If you have something unique that has a direct impact on helping business owners, speakers, and coaches to increase their leads and sales, let us know. You could be our next webinar guest! Contact webinars@CloudNet360.com for consideration.

Need a Guest Presenter for Your Next Webinar?

We can supply live demonstrations of the CloudNet360 system to your audience too. Just contact us webinars@CloudNet360.com to get the discussion started and be sure to add your phone number in the message.

Finally, come see what a quality webinar looks like and discover a think or two about how a book could be your next lead generation source! Judith will be our special guest...and it all happens Thursday morning, April 16, 2015.

It Feels awesome to Be a Part of a Great Race - Chased the Clouds and Loved it!

I’m not 100% sure that I should be “thanking” CloudNet360 for sponsoring me in the Fort2Base race because I think they’re still laughing at me for actually doing it.

On one hand, it was a great cause and an even better venue. Hands down one of the best organized races I have ever participated in (what else would you expect from a race hosted and organized by the military folks) and one of the most scenic venues.

Running through the historic naval base, into the woods and along Lake Michigan certainly gave all of the runners plenty of sights to soak in while racing… until we spotted Hero Hill.

Suddenly this scenic run turned into a nightmare of steep grade and long distance!

Hero Hill is appropriately named because it takes a truly heroic effort not to stop and walk up this tortuous beast. The actual grade of the hill is a well-guarded secret but I suspect that if you fall down on this hill, you aren’t going to stop tumbling until you reach the bottom.

Fortunately for the racers, the military guys were positioned on Hero Hill waiting for us to run alongside the racers to motivate and encourage them to keep pushing to the top. I’m not sure how many times these guys ran up and down that hill (it was a lot) but anything more than once puts them squarely into the “hero” category.

In the end, I had a great race and placed well, so I guess I need to begrudgingly say “thank you” to CloudNet360 for sponsoring me and to all the organizers and volunteers at the Great Lakes Naval Base for putting on a great event. With a full year to forget how long and steep Hero Hill truly is, I’m sure I’ll be back next year for more (fun?!?).

Cloudnet360 Presents An Edgier CRM Based Business Platform

Have you ever imagined that you’d be able to run your entire business... I mean truly run your ENTIRE business, from one login?

This really is the “holy grail” of running an online, or offline, business because it means you have one turnkey solution to learn, one place to oversee and organize your entire business operation, and one place to manage your sales and marketing.

But if this is your first time learning about CloudNet360, you may not know that we not only lead the “all in one” business systems pack... we actually invented it.

And unlike when Al Gore invented the internet, we actually created this segment not because we were smarter than our competition... we just never realized there was any other way to do it.

And yes, I know there are plenty of companies that have jumped on the bandwagon claiming to be an “all in one” solution... but all I can say about those claims is that “imitation is the best form of flattery” and lately it seems we’ve been receiving quite few compliments from our competitors.

But there’s a real problem.

When we speak of an “all in one” business system, we’re not talking about managing your website and shopping cart from one system, that’s just covering the basics.

Sure, you can bolt together additional 3rd party pieces to get the same functionality we offer, but who really wants to learn all these extra systems... pay for all these extra systems... and then maintain the shaky API connections necessary to make them all work?

How about a better way?

How about a built in, mobile responsive, website with your shopping cart plus a CRM to attract new customers and upsell existing customers?

But even that’s not good enough because you’re going to want a highly profitable membership site, or multiple sites, so we include an amazingly powerful, yet simple to manage, membership system.

But wait, there’s more.

Coaches, consultants and authors will love the automated scheduling and billing system that let’s them focus on helping their clients instead of chasing payments from their clients.

Of course, all these customers and business sales are going to require that your internal business operations are running smoothly and that’s where the integrated Project Manager saves the day to keep you organized and on top your game at all times.

Whew... now that’s impressive... but unfortunately for our competitors, we didn’t stop there.

We’ve never run our business without these other tools and would never expect you to either.

So we also include an affiliate system so powerful that if it were a stand alone piece of software it would surely be the #1 affiliate system on the market... plus live chat, a customer support ticket system, suggest a feature, and the all time sales conversion champion - Click to call.

Oh, did I mention the full suite of Mobile Apps?

Yep, we have you covered there so your can run your business from anywhere in the world from your hip pocket.

But wait... I know what you’re thinking... “this sounds impressive but how will I ever get this started and implemented into my business”?

And this is exactly why every account comes standard with your very own e-Business Advisor that will teach you, help you, guide you, and actually do it for you so you can hit the ground running and take full advantage of this powerful automation suite.

So now that you know about the best, isn’t it time you gave it a test?

With no contracts, no hidden fees, and a 30-day trial, you have absolutely zero risk so take it for a test drive today!

Still not convinced? Then scroll to the bottom of this page and we’ll make it impossible for you to say no.

Go check it out now and I’ll see YOU on the other side.

Instead of Using Gadgets, Try Something Different for a Change

Is your business made out of gadgets, doo dads and wiz bangs?

It’s common you know. You try and “fix” your business with a shiny new patch or a bolt on gadget.

And some of them work… for a while anyhow.

Then everyone starts using the same gimmicky gadget or doo dad and suddenly your gadget doesn’t seem to work as well.

Sound familiar?

Now it might sound like I’m against these fad items but I’m really not. There’s really nothing wrong with bouncing from one profitable fad to the next as long as it keeps a positive cash flow coming in and as long as this fits your intended business model.

Specialty retailers thrive off of finding the next fad and then exploiting it for massive profits before the rest of the retailers discover the product and turn it into a commodity.

This can be a great business model as long as it’s really your business model.
The danger starts circling the raft when it’s not really your business model. When you really have a more traditional business model that you’re trying to improve, or fix, by adding these gadgets and doo dads.

And instead of working on a solid foundation and systems for your business, you’re suddenly watching your business whipsaw from one fad to the next in a desperate effort to find growth and stop the bleeding.

This isn’t just a small business affliction, or limited to the inexperienced; you see it with oldest big name conglomerates as well. They just happen to have much bigger gadgets and doo dads… commonly referred to as “mergers and acquisitions”.

First they buy a bunch of companies to “fix” their growth problem and then they “divest” these same companies to “focus on their core competencies” after they discover that the new gadgets didn’t really give them the benefit they had hoped for in the first place.

Of course, this is really just another way of saying they shouldn’t have wasted all that time and money on gadgets and they should have focused on the foundation of their business and the systems that make their company truly better than their competitors.

Small businesses make the same mistakes but they tend to do it with things more resembling gadgets.

For example, instead of focusing on their existing website, and split testing different pages and various offers, they’ll run out and buy the latest landing page generator that just launched. After all, the landing page founders swear it’ll improve their conversion rates by 28% or more and have even come up with some really creative new terms to brand their process.

Naturally a newly termed “lead magnet” product is going to work better than an old fashioned “low priced lead in offer” – right?

Or instead of simply adding and testing an upsell in their current sales flow, they try to hire a new “consulting” company to create an entirely new sales funnel. These companies usually spend far more money than they’re willing to spend to simply test an alternate of what they already have.

But guess what?

The only way that new sales funnel is actually going to improve your business is by going through the same split testing, measuring, modifying, and improving process that could have, and should have, been performed on the original sales funnel.

Now what I’m going to recommend is definitely not going to sound as fun or exciting as attending a webinar or hiring an outside team of “experts” and then reinventing your entire sales process. I know this… but I’ll do it anyhow.

Here is my 5 step process for improving your existing business:

1. Start with fresh eyes – You need to get an unbiased 3rd party to look at what you’re doing and have them tell you what they like and what they don’t like.
   
   I recommend hiring someone for this process versus counting on your mom, Uncle Bill, roommate, or friend. There are too many cheap sources for finding a person to do this for you so there’s no excuse not to do it (hint: Fiverr, Upwork, etc.)
   
   
2. Test the process yourself – Go through your entire sales flow as a customer to see what you like and don’t like.
   
   
3. Compare notes – Often, you already know what’s wrong but see if your ideas match up with the ideas from your 3rd party. If they do, then you’ve likely identified a major source of trouble.
   
   
4. Ignore what both of you think – In the end, it’s still just an opinion. It’s probably a good starting point but trusting your opinion, or someone else’s opinion, is a good way to fail.
   
   
5. Test and improve it – Then test it again, improve it again, and just keep going until you cannot seem to get any additional improvement. 

Like I said, it’s not sexy, but it works.

If you really want to improve your business and systems, then you need to keep it simple, test it, ignore the fads, and build a strong foundation with systems that you own and processes that work for your business.
