Random Thoughts on the Coming New Year

David Dassow — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:35:08 +0000

Sometimes I think we focus on what we don’t have instead of what we do have.

As the year closes out be sure and spend some time appreciating what you do have because you have a heck-of-a-lot more to be thankful for…

Shortly I’ll be updating everyone on the 2012 Schedule for How To Sell Pre-Need.

As always, all members will receive the schedule first followed by subscribers.

If you have not subscribed yet go to the top right side of this page and opt-in the email. Remember I’ll send you an email CONFIRMATION you’ll need to respond to.

This email is to confirm it really is you. You may also have to rescue the confirmation email from the junk section of your email box. Please confirm quickly…..get it done.

Happy New Year and Happy Selling!

David….

P.S. The website went down recently for a full week. Some of you long timers will remember this happens at least once a year. I think it is an internet requirement.

Of course, I have no idea why it went down but am certainly glad it is back up. For all of you who noticed thanks for bringing this to my attention.

If there are some links missing or not working send me an email and I’ll pass it on to the web folks.

We have 8% more what?

David Dassow — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:52:11 +0000

I received an interesting question the other day about the economy we find ourselves in and the how awful things are in the country.
My answer…..

YOU determine how well or lousy you do in life. The economy is not you. Last year we added 8% more millionaires in the United States (google cnn money March 16, 2011)

There’s so much YOU are in control of I think we forget just how much impact YOU have on every aspect of your life.

YOU decide to get up,
YOU decide to work,
YOU decide to successfully sell pre-arrangements.

YOU and only YOU

"I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time."
– - Sam Walton

Every single working day do something that will bring you closer to a sale. The more you do each and every day that brings you closer to a sale, the more you’ll achieve.

"Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something."
– - Andrew Carnegie

There are numerous postings of strategies on this website to give you the step-by-step-how-to…

Until you make the decision to get out there and do it nothing will happen. It’s kinda like staying in bed all day expecting something to happen. Until you get up, until you get ready, until you actually do something you’ll never achieve your dreams, goals, wants and needs.

"You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb."
– - Andrew Carnegie

This business is simple. Generate activity. Find people to talk about pre-planning. Make presentations, get referrals.

Focus your energies on true leads and be willing to "know when to fold them and know when to hold them."

“Aim for the highest.”
– - Andrew Carnegie

It really is you who decide how successful you’ll be. If you want to blame someone take a look in the mirror. If you want to congratulate someone take a look in the mirror.

Happy Selling!

A New Year’s Update

David Dassow — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 18:04:41 +0000

I know, I know, it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a post.

First, let me just say, Happy New Year!

May this be the best year of
selling pre-arrangements
you’ve ever had only
to be surpassed by
the next year.

There have been so many emails from you I don’t know where to begin. So, I’ll just say, “thanks”.

Second, let me remind you that the top right of this page is a great opportunity to get some wonderful strategies sent from me to you in your email box.

I’m updating this as we speak….so, tell me your name and email and be sure and hit the confirmation email I send to you (and, don’t forget you might have to rescue my confirmation email from your email junk-yard).

Third, there’s plenty happening in the world of pre-need throughout the nation. And, contrary to the newspapers, web-news, broadcast news, cable news, and other doom-gloom-ugly-predictions there’s plenty of folks pre-planning.

You don’t have to participate in the “severe economic down-turn” or the worst recession in the history of the world. Fact is people are still functioning in uncertain times. The grocery stores are still busy and I had to wait nearly an hour to eat breakfast in what turned out to be a nice non-franchise restaurant the other day. It was worth the wait and it wasn’t cheap.

You know my saying, “if it’s expensive it must be good”. Which, by the way, is a great lesson for those sellers of pre-arrangements who don’t think they can sell packages or private estates.

I’ll be giving an update on a new project I’m working on very soon. I’ll be sending some email updates so if you’re not on the email list get over to the opt-in email on the top right of this page. It’s free…so, for Pete’s sake, let’s stay in touch.

Fourth, I’ve included a few links to previous posts on goal setting, selling more in six months than the previous 12 months, and how to succeed in this business. It really is simple. Yes, really. It is simple. It is much like football. You tackle, you block, and you score points. Don’t be on defense. Be the offense.

Pre-need selling is about doing something every day that brings you closer to a sale. Be persistent, don’t quit, don’t give up! If it’s not working fix it. Read all the posts on this site and pay attention to the email strategies I send to you. It’s that simple…really.

Finally, I’ll be updating you periodically. Be patient. I’ve had many of you request consulting sessions and products I used to have posted on this website. Stay tuned for updates because I have some surprises for you but you won’t find out unless you’re on the mailing list. So get over to the top right side of this page and opt-in now.

Happy New Year and Happy Selling!

David….
