sales training blog - startup sales mentor

So I started a forum and people flocked to the LinkedIn group in droves. They respond to the newsletter and sign up for my blog. What they have not done is start using the forum. So, as a sales motivator, I will employ my favorite behavior driving tolol…the CASH SPIFF!

So here goes:

$50 a month for the most active and relevant forum user.
$500 for user of the year.
$500 for voted fan favorite.

Starting in August and monthly until Decemnber

Monthly payouts by the tenth of the next month!
Annual payouts in January!

If you want to make some extra gas money, or break into January with a bit of cash to make up for the Xmas spending, then register on the forum and start posting good content. We can all grow together as sales trainers, sales leaders and learners.

Right to the point. More people would benefit from reading this blog. The guest bloggers and commentators add great content and feedback to compliment the posts that I put effort into sharing. Please help add more readers, thus more conversations, thus more brilliant minds helping each other. How, you ask can you do that? Great question:

1. There are links on the bottom of this post (and all of the posts) to social bookmark it. Please at the very least Digg and Stumble the articles you like. This will get other like minded people reading them.
2. Leave comments on posts. People like to hear what other people have to say, share your thoughts and get more feedback. Also, commenting on this blog will help your own blog’s search rank as I allow Google to follow comments.
3. We now have a squidoo lens at http://squidoo.com/startupsalesmentor. Please go rate it and comment on the lens. This will help it get exposure there.
4. Follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/karlgoldfield
5. Send me feedback on what I can do to help you at salesmentor@karlgoldfield.com
6. And finally, forward posts, tell other sales people, get people in the mix! Let’s make some noise and really help each other in the 2nd 1/2 of 2008.

Oh, and one more thing! One of my articles was rated article of the week by http://top10salesarticles.com last week. Please go give it a read! Have a great holiday weekend and let’s catch up on messaging next week.

All the best,

I want to start by thanking all of my loyal readers and collaborators. Yesterday I finalized an agreement that makes me a partner at messageSlinger, a new e-letter service that is in Beta. Our goal is to offer the most feature rich newsletter service at an affordable price. If you are interested in signing up for the Beta, go to http://messageslinger.com.

Also, I am now running sales and marketing for an exciting new online platform called ki work. ki work is the first online marketplace design for the remote worker that makes outsourcing a trustworthy experience. If you know anyone that is an expert in their field, a power networker, and wants to make money by working outsourced or freelance projects, send them to http://ki-work.com.

Without the support of my blog community, I would have never taken the leap into full time consulting. Thank you all for your support and I look forward to continuing to help you in any way I can.

All the best,

Karl Goldfield
