Systems for Success

Written by George Torok


What does it take to succeed? How many times have you asked that question of yourself and others? You may have heard many different answers. I have found one thing that successful people have in common. They use systems.

They may or may not have talent. If they did they learned not to rely on talent alone. Talent is seductive. For example, if you are talented at golf you might be tempted not to practice. You might believe you can wing it. Tiger Woods never wings it. Wayne Gretzky never winged it. Both of them are tremendously talented at their sport. But they know not to rely on that talent alone. They developed systems.

What is a system? A set of practices, procedures and habits melded into a process that you learn, perform, evaluate, improve and do again - repeatedly. Everything that you do can be a process. This applies in your personal life but especially to your business. To run a marathon requires a simple system - training, diet, measurement and repetition. The hard part is takingrepparttar 70,000 steps to completerepparttar 134919 race. Your business is more like a marathon than a sprint.

Everything in your business begs for a system. Business is real simple that way; discoverrepparttar 134920 system and do it. And systems by their nature are simple. They demand only persistence and consistence.

Let's look atrepparttar 134921 most important aspect to your business - sales. If you don't sell you die. Can't get more important than that. Selling is not luck or talent - it is a process.

The difference betweenrepparttar 134928 $10,000 client andrepparttar 134929 $1million client is where to look. The selling process isrepparttar 134930 same. The only difference isrepparttar 134931 system of where you look. To maximize his sales he keeps reapplyingrepparttar 134932 process (system) and strives to find opportunities for improving efficiency inrepparttar 134933 system.

The second most important activity in your business is marketing. Why? Because marketing is everything you do that makes it easier to sell. Here is where following a system is even more important. Marketing is about sending messages. Building your visibility, credibility, value, character and reputation takes time. Andrepparttar 134934 results are difficult to measure. You might be tempted to give up too soon.

What marketing systems do you have in place? You might consider implementing some of these.

This is an important concept -- so let me break it down and explain it in detail.

Let's say you publish an email newsletter on gardening, and in your newsletter you promote some related affiliate products and earn affiliate commissions. That meansrepparttar 134922 more subscribers you get on your newsletter,repparttar 134923 more money you make.

So suppose you have a webpage that promotes your newsletter. If you set up a second version of that webpage (say, with a different headline) and you run a split-test between those 2 pages, one of those pages will get more people to join your newsletter. (Which means, it'll make you more money.)
