Ask for what you want… (and be very specific)

September 27th, 2008

Remember how can someone give you something unless you ask for what you want?

Be specific as well, in asking for exactly what it is you desire, the more specific the better.

Also remember that should you ask for something there maybe be consequences of that request being fullfilled, so remember to think about all the options:

i) what will having this give me

ii) what will having this not give me

iii) what will not having this give me

iv) what will not having this not give me

Sometimes we ask for something and with it comes something that we didn’t want, but that being said, we couldn’t have actually had the request met without it… unless we had been more specific.

Have a great day

Time versus Money

September 25th, 2008

I heard a profound yet simply quote the other day and it went like this:

The rich spend their money to buy more time, while the poor spend their time to save money.

You can always get more money, but you can’t get more time (let us not get in to a time/ quantum soup discussion here).

So basically here I am realising that I do lots of things right now, such as work on my car when I could take it to a garage and buy me some more time.

Are you spending you time wisely? Is your time spend cost efficient? What may take you 5 hours to do could take someone else 2, and in that 5 hours, what if you could earn three times what the person would cost to do the job?

Hmmmm food for thought.

Buy and Sell on Value and not on Price!

September 3rd, 2008

In today’s world everyone seems to have been conditioned to buy on price.

What is the cheapest price that we can find it for?

Very little seems to be considered about the extras. Those things that often are of little measurable value up front, but can be of huge value later on.

On example of this is when we take out a new mobile phone contract and with that contract we take out insurance, now all three providers we evaluated offered the same phone with insurance for slightly different prices and the calling rates where almost the same.

On first appearance these offers had very little difference to choose from.

However, only one of these mobile phone operator offers to send you a replacements phone out the next day, the others operate a return to base for exchange policy. Imagine having to be without your mobile phone for 5 days!

So, the question is, what is of value that we give (sometimes we are not even aware of it), that when quantified will obviously be worth so much to our clients that they will not consider dealing with anyone else?

PRESS RELEASE

Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, August 22, 2008

 

RECESSION-PROOF YOUR BUSINESS.

Create tangible, exponential growth whatever the market conditions.

 

With everybody talking about the credit-crunch and people forecasting that we are on the edge of another recession you would not be on your own for thinking that business is about to get harder and that you are going to have to put your life on hold just to survive… but we DISAGREE.

There is more business happening across the world now than ever before in the past. There are more people, driving more cars, living in more houses, all with more things. And then on top of this there are more people creating more efficient, more economic, more environmentally friendly products than ever before.

 

People always have, and always will want value.

 

How do we offer value above and beyond that expected or that given by the others in our marketplace / field?

How do we go out of our way as business owners and business leaders to give so much value that there is no other option than be rewarded for it financially?

 

SOLUTION: It is very simple.

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS AND YOU WILL GET BETTER ANSWERS.

 

  • What would happen if our business grew by 10 fold?
  • How can I influence our business in such a way as to effect dramatic sizeable growth?
  • If there really were a way to play in businesses so that it positively transformed the business, wouldn’t I want to know?

Spiral BGS are a specialist firm focused on creating tangible, exponential growth for their clients, whatever the market conditions.

 

 We are offering the first 5 businesses to respond to iamseriousaboutgrowth@spiralbgs.com, quoting bgs01a in the subject line, the opportunity for Spiral to coach them through the evaluation of their business and help highlight the areas of growth for a hugely reduced fee of only £197.  (Normally £1797)

 

Our promise is that if after the first day you do not feel that we have demonstrated value over and above the £1797 we will rip-up the cheques there and then.
