14 OF THE TOP LEADERSHIP QUOTES OF ALL TIME

“It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” (Douglas Adams)

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.“ (John Quincy Adams)

“No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.” (Andrew Carnegie)

“Management works in the system. Leadership works on the system.” (Stephen R. Covey)

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him….But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, “We did it ourselves.” (Lao Tzu)

“I am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep led by a lion than an army of 100 lions led by a sheep.“ (Talleyrand)

“A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. A boss is interested in himself or herself, a leader is interested in the group.” (Russell H. Ewing)

“Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.” (Warren Bennis)

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” (John Fitzgerald Kennedy)

‘The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” (Theodore Roosevelt)

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” (Peter F. Drucker)

“Nothing so conclusively proves a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.” (Thomas Watson)

‘Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men — the other 999 follow women.“ (Groucho Marx)

“You do not lead by hitting people over the head - that’s assault, not leadership.” (Dwight D. Eisenhower)

Whilst it's hard to envisage anybody stealing MySpace's crown, Friendster, which pre-MySpace was dominant, now has a measly 0.34% share — reminding us that MySpace's pole position is theirs to lose.

The fastest movers and shakers were both social networking sites that specialize in building communities around music and other media — Buzznet (up 148.4%) and iMeem (up 145.7%). Other fast growing sites include Hoverspot (up 19.6%) and Bebo (up 17.8%), which both compete more directly with MySpace.

THE SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING EVOLUTION IS HERE!

No one can deny that technology has had the greatest impact on each and every one of our lives in the last twenty years.

It took the telephone 38 years to reach 50 million users.
It took the television 13 years to reach 50 million users.
It took the internet 4 years to reach 50 million users.
It took the iPod 3 years to reach 50 million users.
It took Facebook 2 years to reach 50 million users.

As technology has a greater impact on each of our lives, the timeframe in which we accept new technology decreases dramatically.

This is not a revolution but an evolution.

The Internet has presented the largest shift in distribution of goods (product or service) that is altering the way business has been done. iTunes changed the way music is distributed. Amazon is altering the method in which books are distributed (Kindle).
More and more people are flocking to the internet to receive the most value for their dollar. Many companies believe they are changing the way business has been done. They are using outdated models with a single product focus. It is not the products that are altering business but the manner in which they are being delivered to the consumer. The Internet is changing the method in which products can be delivered to consumers. Like Amazon, Zappo's, Overstock.com and many others, we are focusing on the distribution method that creates value for the products people are already using versus convincing someone that a product has value.

DubLi is combining the most powerful distribution channel (the internet) with the most powerful marketing (social networking) to capture what is already occurring with or without DubLi thus providing each of us a tremendous opportunity to be at the forefront of the next evolution of business not revolution. It will be revolutionary in network marketing because it has not been done before.

Lastly, and most importantly, please hear what we are saying - NOW is the time. I truly do not want you to come back to me and say I didn't know, I should have done this.............doing anything else is simply a mistake!

WHY EMAIL SHOULD NOT REPLACE DIRECT CALLS TO YOUR WARM MARKET

Many sales people think using email to sell everything or market an idea or product is the best idea. But the truth is - it is not. It is not a good idea to replace calls with emails when contacting with a potential client. Some people use email to sell products, to avoid the humiliation of rejection. Also the major disadvantage of taking this approach is that there can be a possibility of not getting an email while awaiting a transaction related to a sales process.

More than seventy five percent of the businesses today have replaced calls with emails, and in the process has lost the personal touch. The reason why businesses do this is that feel awkward to face rejection when speaking directly to the customer. It hurts less to hear a no though an email. Some people get tired of hearing the voicemails repeatedly. They think its a better idea to switch to emails.

When trying to sell products or services to a new client, it is not possible to gain customers trust through an email, which makes the foundation of a long-term relationship, weak. Some well to do firms, think that they are recognized in the market but they forget that there are strict spam filters installed, these firms take the risk of sending introductory emails to potential customer. There are very little chances that the customer will receive the email and will read it. But when calling a potential customer, there is a higher probability of the customer receiving the call and all the resources invested will be put good use.

If the company still thinks that sending emails to clients is the best approach, some points should be taken care of. The introductory email contains introduction about the company, brief information about the products and services they offer and information about method of purchase and contact. All the information included in the email should give the impression to the reader that the company is interested in benefiting the customer and not themselves.

The introductory email should sound like its trying to solve the problems and try to build a strong relationship with the prospective customer. For this the targeted people should be thoroughly studied in order to understand their shortcomings and what wonders they would expect from a particular product. In the first time itself; do not mention that the company and the client is a good match for each other. Sales pitches should be repelled completely.

Dont put the companys name in the heading of the email. When the companys name is included in the heading, the customer gets the impression that profit of the company is its top priority and not interest of the customer. Its a good marketing strategy to include the name of the product being sold, features of the product and how it can solve the problem of the reader. The subject should tell it all, and should also catch the attention in the first glance itself.

Its best to start emailing the customer after the foundation of a strong long-term relationship is laid first. At first the customers should be personally approached. Later when the customers trust is gained, further dealings can be done through emails. Emails should only act as a back up method of communicating. Take care that word like we should be avoided and replaced with the word you. The customer feels that he is being directly referred too.

There should be no negativity in the matter. This sets the mind of the customer in a negative mood and he will actually get the opposite message. For example, instead of writing We dont sell low quality products, write We sell high quality products. Dont condition the customer. This creates a pressure on the customer and they will start to avoid any calls and emails from the company.

Emails can be used during difficult times. Suppose some soreness erupted between the parties or at least from the side of the customer, emails written with polite and gentle words can melt the toughness and can open up good terms again. The best thing is to stop using email as the only way of communicating, completely. Companies that directly reach out to clients reflect higher level of confidence and create a good impression on new customers.
