Organize Your Ideas To Make More Money
As you move back into the fall season when it’s likely – possible? – that business will pick up, you’re going to find your mind percolating with all kinds of new ideas for your small business:
There is an interesting story over at Cincinnati.Com about organizing your ideas to make more money.
• Leads book. Whenever you get a lead for a new prospect or an new product idea to pitch to a current customer, write it down in one book you always keep with you. That way, you have a ready-made list of future business possibilities.
• Trade show book. Take a notebook, pen and small stapler with you to trade shows. When you meet someone you want to contact later, staple their card to a page of your Trade Show Book and make notes. Back in the office, when you finally have time to follow up, all your notes, contacts, and ideas will be in one place.
• Product development book. Keep all customer feedback, ideas for upgrades or improvements for future versions of your product – or ideas for new products – in one book. That way, you won’t overlook anything when you’re developing the next generation of your product.

As a meditation practitioner, I always use portions of my daily sessions for “seed time”, and, of course keep a pad and pen close by. Whenever I come out of ten minutes of deep concentration, I find I’m calmer and more centered – moreover, my mind is clear, often accompanied by a rush of new energy. This might translate into: ideas for writing projects, a fresh approach to sales, community service/fellowship, or business. It’s a super way to tweak your brain and, come up with new ways to see the world – and, think about it…perhaps create added income??

Nice post. In my opinion, outsourcing to a reputable call center can also take charge of a business’ data handling. That way, a business’ lead database can be well-kept and organized while also being able to fuel the company’s pipeline with more leads. More leads means more opportunities to make profit.
