She would schedule pitch presentations with prospects ranging from small local businesses to billion dollar corporations. Different businesses, similar conversations.

Sometimes her sales approach worked; sometimes it didn’t.

After one too many times losing prospects she felt like were layups, she asked Limo University’s Bill Faeth for advice.

He gave her one, easy tool. Actually, it was simply a question: the Golden Sales Questions - one part of Bill’s Copy and Paste (C.A.P.) Sales System.

At first, she was hesitant. After all, she’d gotten comfortable to her usual pitch. Now she had to transform her entire strategy from A to Z.

The first few times her voice shook - you could hear the vibrations from her vocal cords like they were church bells on...

Geometry. It was the only math class that ever truly made sense to me.

I’ve never been the type to bend the rules, so the confines by which proofs operated aligned with my Type A, writer’s mentality.  

Thinking of numerical outcomes in terms of proven logic laws helped me generate answers to problems that would otherwise confuse me.

In its most fundamental form, a proof is built on connections determined by the following formula: If A, then B and If B, then A

You can’t have one without the other. They must be equivalent to prove the theorem true.

While most of us left if/then sequences behind with school books and backpacks, the constructs can inform our marketing in monumental ways.

How to Share Relevant Content on Social Media

wednesday drive May 23, 2018

The entire point of social media is to share. From sharing photos and news articles, to events and playlists - our entire social experience is curated specifically for us. But how does this apply to you and your limo business? Well, when you share content from your community as well as your own, you open up endless possibilities for your online brand and easy content creation.

DIY Market Research to Identify Opportunities for Your Limo Business

wednesday drive May 01, 2018

Market research is the “why” to your overall business plan. It’s the process you undergo when determining the reasons clients will purchase your services - especially over your competitors’ services.

If you haven’t conducted market research recently, or ever, the activity can help you identify opportunities for your limo business within the marketplace. Although the term “market research” implies time-consuming measures and the assistance of third-party companies, you can actually do it to a certain degree in-house.

Market research is beneficial whether you are just starting your limo business or if you’ve been around for decades. If you are a startup, market research can uncover...

Each task created allows you to label, set a due date, create a checklist, add members, or add an attachment. Trello simplifies your daily to-do’s while still...
