Last week I registered for the SistaSense Power Circle Telesummit! Yes I did it! It may sound crazy to you but not to me. I am very excited,because I get to hear from some of the most powerful, successful, entrepreneurs who are really making a difference in the lives of others without trying to keep a secret lol.

Everybody has a reason for doing things in life and my reason for signing up for the SistaSense Power Circle Telesummit, all revolves back to me gaining the knowledge, connections and mentorship I need to grow my business and have a balance lifestyle too.

What am I so geeked up about?

* Gaining key strategies from Donna Maria Coles Johnson on enjoying my life while pursuing my passion.

* Finding out the Seven Wealthy Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs from Deborah Owens, I am going to be so glued to this.

* While my brand new book “Hair$tylist Riches” will be published in August. I am certainly looking forward to learning more gold nuggets from on of my favorite mentors Pam Perry, as she shares with us “How to Build Your Business Using Your Book”. Let me tell you right now have your pencil and paper ready to go!

* Discovering “How to Get Paid For What I Know” this is something that I am certainly looking forward to from another one of my mentors Lashanda Henry. She is the money making queen I love her and plus she gives it to you straight. Make sure you listen carefully because I am positive she will share techniques that you never even thought of trust me.

* Building my Brand through Social Media. If you are not using social media to build your brand,you are totally missing the boat. Truth be told a majority of my clients come from social media and you will want to keep up with what is working and how to implement effectively. So I am thrilled to hear how Jai Stone is exploding her business with this. My ears are open and my hands are ready to implement!

* Developing key relationships with brands using the power of blogs. Having a blog will help you to make some major connections that will benefit both parties. But how do you actually learn how to take advantage of this as a newbie? I am looking forward to hearing from Onica Cupido as she shares what I need to do to build a relationship with brands.

* Find out what it takes to build my list and attract clients. There are several techniques to do this but do you know which ones are working today? Lashanda Henry has been my go to person for a long time and I applaud her continuously for what she does, because I learn something new every time. I can’t wait to grab more gold nuggets from her.

* Using blogs to Profit, Build a Presence and Gain some PR that you may pay little to nothing for with Lamar Tyler. People want to see if you know your stuff, this is how you beat your competition.

* And Finally The Million Dollar Equation. What is this all about? Well you will just need to tune in while Richelle Shaw shares it with us. All right game on!

Now I know you really want to build your business! One way you can make a huge difference is by going to http://power.sistasense.com


Fact is I hope you get a seat in time because I am not sure how long my mentor Lashanda Henry can hold your place! Hey it will be on and popping at this TeleSummit on July 29th – July 30th 2011.

Cheers,

Charlotte

READ THE ENDORSEMENTS:

“David  Mathison’s BE THE MEDIA offers the preposterous idea that broadcasting and publishing need not be exclusive to industrial titans.  You (yes, he means you) can take the “big” out of “media” and return this most important feature of democracy to the people.  The practical advice offered in this book are ideas whose time has come … and none too soon. For those who’ve come to understand that the”news” and what’s hot in popular culture are decisions made by large corporations, this book is must reading.  Here is the handbook for those Americans who want to join and help lead the revolution that is urgently returning to the people, the power of conveying information to apopulace starved for new ideas from outside the box of big business commercialism.”

Happy Tuesday Morning Guys and Gals,

Today I wanted to give you 5 quick ways to attract new customers right now and keep your current customers too. I hope you just take at least one of these and use it today to help your business and your relationships with your customers grow.

1. Give Away An Electronic Information Product

site or autoresponder to a downloadable e-book. The
information product should relate to your target audience. Just
place your advertisement somewhere on the product. Allow
other people to give away the information product to attract
even more customers.

2. Offer Free Consulting Via E-mail

Allow potential customers to ask you specific questions
relating to the subject of your business. Giving away free advice
can show your prospects your expertise and give you instant
credibility. Another benefit is when you e-mail them back the
free advice or information include your signature file to get free
advertising.

3.Hold A Free Chat Room Seminar

People go to seminars to learn about a particular subject.
With chat rooms you don’t need to fear public speaking or
spend money to rent out a seminar room. You can use your
own chat room or hold the seminar in someone else. Holding
a chat room seminar is an incredible way to get free publicity.
Just send a press release to the media announcing your free
seminar.

4. Start A Free-To-Join Club

Having people join your club is a creative way to attract
new customers. People want to belong to something, why
not your online club. The club should be related to your
product or service. You could give away a free e-mail
newsletter for club members only . Have a members only
message board, e-mail discussion group or chat room. Post
your advertisements on all the club information.

5. Provide Your Product Or Service For Almost Free

Tell potential customers you’ll accept barter deals for your
products or services. You may not be getting money but they
will become your customers. If they are satisfied they might
pay money the next time they make a purchase. Barter for
things to improve your business or your own personal life.

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers,

Charlotte
