Starting this month, Success Connection is welcoming on board a new editor. Its previous editor, Matt Turner, completed his MSW in 2006, and will complete his MBA at the end of August, thus ending his 8 months as editor as he leaves the world of academia and enters the professional realm. He will be passing his title onto Heather Mayer, a senior undergraduate Professional Writing student, with concentrations in Public Relations and Literature at Kutztown University.
Mr. Turner is wished the best of luck in his future endeavors.

The
Stuff of Dreams
|
During the month it's a good idea to measure yourself by using calling and contact statistics. These indicators should include: how many dials you've made, conversations you've had, appointments you've attended, proposals you've written and their worth, closed sales you've contracted and their worth, and the amount of networking functions you've attended -golf matches, sporting events, association meetings, civic functions, and bake sales count as long as there are prospects in attendance.
When was the last time you actually made the calls and contacts to get the prospects and clients you need to reach your sales goals?
