Today’s business environment has changed dramatically over the past 10 years, it can be a tough task to make a sale. Just being aggressive doesn’t cut it any longer. Sales skills alone aren’t enough to compete when so many new products and services become everyday commodities. Consumers nowadays are being smart. You’ve got to distinctively separate your business from the competition and lead each of your prospects and customers to think, ‘I would have to be a complete idiot to do business with anyone else… regardless of the price.’ They are shopping for the best bargains and they all seem to want more than what they paid for. Every industry both online or offline needs a cutting-edge cost-effective powerful marketing tool that appeals to every kind of consumer.

Vacation and travel incentives are one of the most powerful methods of attracting business, retaining profitable clientele, increasing profits, enhancing product awareness, improving employee productivity. Businesses that have used vacation travel incentives in their marketing and promotions have seen at least 30% increase in their sales on both sides of the buy and sell cycle. Companies of all sizes and virtually any type of retail, wholesale, manufacturing, internet, service, distributor or direct sales business will benefit from incentive travel programs.

Why use incentives?

Here are some compelling reasons why you should consider using incentives:

How do you feel when you meet someone, perhaps a business person, who you’ve only seen once before at meeting… and they remember you AND your name?

It feels great doesn’t it? And, be honest, rather flattering too. And because of that you probably have more rapport with them.

Now let’s turn that around and say it’s you who always manages to remember people and their names. Do you think they just might be more interested in doing business with you? Or recommending you to their business colleagues who are looking for what you offer?

Here’s how to make remembering people easier

* When you are introduced to someone make sure you hear their name clearly.
* Repeat the name and ask if you’ve got it right.
* Check the spelling with them if it is unusual they will be flattered that you consider them important enough to take the trouble.
* Repeat the name twice, silently in your mind, to give yourself a better chance of remembering it.
* Ask a question and listen

Listening is a Skill – Take Time to Develop It

The challenge we all have is to silence or ignore our own thoughts. Especially whilst other people are talking.

How often have you drifted off in your mind whilst someone is talking?

Perhaps, like I used to be, you are guilty of finishing people’s sentences for them? It took me a while to stop that one, I can tell you! Especially with people who were more precise in their conversation and took their time to finish a sentence, it could be agonising for me.

Or if you don’t interrupt, perhaps you are busy thinking about what you are going to say just as soon as they stop to take a breath. Yep, been guilty of that too!

Guilty, that is, until I found this neat trick. Peter Thomson told me about it in the late 1990’s and it’s a real gem. He calls it Active Listening, which is a pretty good description.

It’s great for group meetings; presentations; 1-to-1 meetings; in fact any conversations at all.

Here’s what you do

Repeat, internally, everything the other person is saying.

It gives you 7 clear benefits:

1) You don’t miss anything important that is being said
2) You understand the communication better
3) You give the impression of being very interested in what the other person has got to say
4) Your reply, which you won’t be in a position to make until the other person finishes speaking, appears considered and relevant because of the slight pause
5) Your reply is more relevant because you have completely understood the previous part of the conversation.
6) You do not annoy the other person by interrupting them

and the definite bonus

7) You can recall the conversation and important details more clearly, when you need to, at a later date.

By the way, it is a good idea to practise this technique in private or with a group of friends or business colleagues before ‘going live’. The other person will find it a bit disconcerting if you stare at them with a glazed look in your eyes. And they certainly will not be flattered if you move your lips whilst repeating their words internally!

Competition is rife between salesmen, businessmen and academics both in the States and worldwide for the chance to win a trip to Miami for a convention from their bosses. People sitting in offices watching the snow or rain outside may well wish they had worked a little bit harder last year so that they could be one of the lucky few to be chosen for a week in tropical sunshine during the northern winter.

Miami, Florida is one of the most famous and popular convention centres in the States. For keen workers it’s a question of Miami-or-bust as an annual excursion if you are good enough at your job. The annual pilgrimage sorts out the “sheep from the goats”, and to be left out probably means that you have failed to reach last year’s target.

For the academics a freebee in the sun chatting jurisprudence and meta-physics, Egyptology, pure maths, geomorphology or Greek philosophy with someone who actually understands what you are talking about is a tonic which brings them back to their students mentally and physically refreshed.

Miami certainly has the facilities available to cater for large parties of businessmen. A long list of hotels offer conference facilities, and often the larger companies will book a whole 3/400 bed hotel for the duration of a particular convention.

The largest Convention Centre runs to half a million square feet, whilst many smaller venues are always in use all around Miami and the surrounding areas.

The variety of Miami conventions and conferences is truly staggering. These include such topics as Treasury Management in Latin America, Career Fairs, engineering shows, legal conferences, many medical conferences and trade shows, other trade shows for every conceivable product, travel, entertainment and fashion shows. The list goes on and on.

If you’ve managed to persuade your superior that your attendance at the convention is vital, there is plenty to do in the hours between lectures, speeches or meetings. Many people like to experience the famous South Beach with its miles of sand and upbeat nightlife. Zoos, aquariums and outdoor activities abound if you have a day off, and the shopping is of a high standard.

The choice of restaurants to suite all tastes and budgets and the tropical temperatures in winter also encourages many employers to favour Miami for its company’s trade fair, or to send its employees there as an annual bonus for good performance. Major clients of any trade or profession like to do business in pleasant surroundings with all the relevant comforts.

Miami is likely to remain as one of the most popular convention centres due to both long established use and its ability to cater for the numbers without losing its identity.
