Increasing Your Efficiency and Productivity with Downtime

Posted on February 7, 2014June 12, 2019 by Mike Stromsoe

The Puritan Work Ethic with its almost constant emphasis on frugality and diligence, but even more so on hard work, leaves little room for doubt about the relative value of work compared to rest and relaxation. But since the days when the Puritans’ ideas were prominent we have learned a few more things about work, and about how rest actually helps us accomplish more with our work.

Work is performed for reasons, called goals and objectives, and the more efficient and productive your work is in moving toward or accomplishing objectives, the more successful that work is deemed to be. The Puritans frowned on rest and relaxation as vices, robbing us of our prized accomplishments from hard work. As it turns out, however, without rest work can become counterproductive.

Multiple studies have begun to clearly point to rest as a key element in our brains’ ability to function efficiently. If efficiency and productivity are important, then rest is, too. Our mental capacities are continuously depleted during daily conscious behaviors. Various types of mental downtime, in the form of rest, serve to replenish our reserves. It seems that all work and no play does, indeed, make Jack a dull boy.

Napping can seriously increase productivity, and naps of about ten minutes seem to be the most beneficial, more so than either longer or shorter naps. But so can meditation in its many forms help to increase mental sharpness. Even simply resting idly, or daydreaming can be highly beneficial to mental functions such as concentration, memory, attention, creativity, and general productivity.

What this means for busy insurance professionals or anyone else who wants to increase their efficiency and enhance the results of their work, is that downtime can accomplish more by recharging your batteries. Mike Stromsoe’s Unstoppable Profit Producer Program is built around the concepts of increasing your productivity and efficiency. If periodic rest and downtime accomplish this best, then the sufficiency of your rest can be equated with your success.

Are your Offering all you Can?

Posted on February 3, 2014June 12, 2019 by Mike Stromsoe

Make Sure Your Offers are Compelling

Offers need to be compelling to drive sales. If the offer doesn’t answer the question, "What’s in it for me?" then you are not doing your job. Offer whitepapers, guides, and webinars instead of price brochures and self-promotional videos.

Link Back to Your Site in Your Offer

Make it easy on your potential customers to find you again by providing a direct link to your company on your offer. A direct link means that all they have to do is click the link, instead of looking up your information. Busy people often forget to make the extra effort it takes to contact you.

Create Offers for Each Phase of the Buying Cycle

Different phases of the buying cycle should have different offers. At the beginning of the buying cycle a buyer may be interested in an informational piece like a guide or ebook; while later in the buying cycle they might want a free trial or demo. By creating these options, your customer can choose.

The Power of Following-Up

Posted on January 29, 2014June 12, 2019 by Mike Stromsoe

Business leaders in every industry recognize the importance of creating a steady stream of new customers. Large sums of money are spent to “cast a wide net” through various forms of advertising. Unfortunately, too many advertising campaigns fail to deliver because no one ever checks to see who is caught in the net. The objective in any advertising effort is to find new customers that become faithful to the business.

In discussions with frustrated business owners, few can answer one simple question, “what follow-up methods are used after the initial push?” Time after time, the answer is the same, “none!” Growing a list of contacts is ineffective when the leads are allowed to grow cold in the days following the first contact. Instead of following up with these leads, decision makers become frustrated with a response rate of one or two percent.

In any email campaign, additional emails should be sent with additional instructions concerning the product and company. Direct contact with potential customers can be established through social media, a website, email response or phone call. The meager response rate can be transformed into a winning effort to find customers through proper effort to follow each lead to a definite conclusion.

Your business has a slim chance of growing if you don’t make constant efforts to improve. Even small improvements in the areas of knowledge and behavior can boost your sales and change the way customers view your company.

Monitor trends. Keep in mind that global changes can impact your business. When you keep track of trends, it gives you the chance to adjust your business practices as needed.
Show empathy. When you’re coming up with products, try to understand your customers’ reasons for needing them. When you do this, you create better products and give better service.
Collaborate with others. Teaming up with other industry experts can freshen up stale business ideas and help you come up with new ones.
Improve your selling skills. It’s doesn’t matter what line of work you’re in, if people aren’t buying what you’re selling, your business will sink.

Working on Improving your Strengths

Posted on January 20, 2014June 12, 2019 by Mike Stromsoe

Performance in life and work is measured by the ability to achieve results. Strengths are those qualities that enable a professional to complete a wide variety of tasks that work together to reach goals. In many instances, multiple strengths are present. Dramatic improvement in performance requires improving your strengths.

Professional skills can be compared to major muscle groups in the human body. The desire for a great set of abs requires significant work on the surrounding muscular structures that offset the abdominal muscles. Performance strengths require the same development of complementary strengths to enhance the overall results.

Broad Skills that are Considered Strengths

Integrity and honesty
Problem solving
Results-driven
Innovative
Communicator
Strategic vision
Inspirational

Each of these strengths can be enhanced for superior performance through identifying supporting skills. Additional effort to improve the primary skill will be limited without understanding how other skills work to create significant improvement. The right combination of skills in the strongest performance area can open doors of opportunity for the growing professional.

Discover the supporting skills that are attached to your best skill set when you participate in Mike Stromsoe’s Unstoppable Profit Producer Program.

Believe in Yourself!

Posted on January 10, 2014June 12, 2019 by Mike Stromsoe

To reach your goals you need energy and vision. What you don’t need is negative thinking. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t analytical and realistic, in fact, in means that you are just that; you are open to doing the work necessary for achieving your goals. To obtain the focus to meet your goals you will want to be motivated by positive thoughts.

We are social creatures, and we internalize and care about the opinions of others. Often negative thinking is based on real or imaginary critics in our heads, and we extrapolate criticism, often heard in childhood, into the present.

To act effectively in the present, you need to stop negative thinking that you have internalized and replace it with positive thoughts. To do this, you may want to note exactly who these critics are: a harsh teacher, a punitive coach, a rival roommate? Fire them. To get an interior committee in your head that works for you, think about those people who give you unconditional support, enthusiasm, and understanding. It can be someone you know or someone with whom you feel an empathy: a writer, an athlete, or a favorite businessperson. Then invite them to be the one you work for. You can do it. Rather than listen to the inner critic a kind and wise one, rather than the voice of criticism that was chosen on autopilot or default, immerse yourself in this favorable atmosphere by talking, texting, or reading their words.
