         <description>“You don’t have to be great to get started; but, you have to get started to be great.” 

You have big goals; you believe in yourself; you have a vision. Perhaps you’ve shared your vision with others who are excited about supporting you. Now is the time to take action. Every step you take, even if they are small steps, as long as you are moving in the right direction you will be getting closer to meeting your goal.

How will you weather or not you will succeed if you do not take action? Whatever the results, positive or negative, success or failure, the experience will lead to personal growth.

Believe in yourself and know that things will work out. You may feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel but keep your vision in sharp focus. Identify the type of people you need on your support team and be sure they are aligned with your vision. 

Get organized; you need a system and a support team to be successful. It is critical that you identify the right people for what you wish to achieve.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billionaireu.com&quot;&gt;becoming a billionaire&lt;/a&gt; , going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Your goals might not include a large sum of money, but the fact is, more money improves your lifestyle; thus, improving your enjoyment of life. If times are tough and you are facing financial challenges, then your way of thinking likely contributed to the situation. 

Positive thinking will pay a big role in your success at overcoming your financial problem; remember problems cannot be solved at the same level of thinking as when they were created.

Think BIG and Think Positive (Possible)

According to Bill Bartmann, people often make the mistake of setting goals too low. Do not be afraid to express what you want. Set goals according to what you want, not according to what you think you can achieve. 

Always think possible; impossible is not part of a billionaire mindset. What will your life look like when you have no fears; when you are self-confident about what you choose to have in your life?

Believe in Yourself

Many financially successful people were lucky to have someone else convince them of their potential. Being convinced that this was true opened the door to believing in themselves and achieving success.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billionaireu.com&quot;&gt;becoming a billionaire&lt;/a&gt; , going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>Bill Bartmann: How to Borrow all the Money Your Business Needs</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Bill-Bartmann--How-to-Borrow-all-the-Money-Your-Business-Needs/851580</link>
         <description>•	The only opinion of you that matters is your own

•	You have to learn to forgive

•	Everything in life is a choice; choose wisely

•	Invest in yourself

Bill Bartmann believes high self-esteem leads to not being concerned with what others think of you; this leads to increased self-confidence and willingness to take risks; finally leading to a greater chance of success with your business.

All businesses need money to start up, operate and expand; borrowing money or obtaining business lines of credit is a skill required to be successful. When you apply for a business loan you must demonstrate a successful business and your personal knowledge and experience. 

Bill Bartmann’s Basic Essentials about Business Loan Applications

Qualify the Lender – Lenders are specialized; be sure the institution you are considering applying to is appropriate for your needs. Lending institutions have rules and guidelines including amount they will loan (minimum and maximum), the industries they will loan to and geographic areas where they make loans.

Lenders want to Loan Money – Even in tough economic times, lenders need to make loans; this is how they make money.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionai" rel="tag">billionai</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billionaireu.com&quot;&gt;becoming a billionaire&lt;/a&gt; , going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>Social Networking â Expert Advice from Bill Bartmann</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Social-Networking-----Expert-Advice-from-Bill-Bartmann/592751</link>
         <description>Essentially, social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter are word of mouth taken to a new level, the technological level. There are millions of people who every day let their friends, family and business acquaintances know what they are doing by using these social networking sites. 

While that may sound like it is something that is only useful for what you are doing today, if you know how to use them well, you can also make these sites a place to promote your business, in a friendly manner.

Let's look a little more closely at how to use each of them.

MySpace.com

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 relates to the MySpace Social Network. MySpace is a networking site that initially had teenage crowd to a crowd in their 20's. While there are older people on there, this is more the younger people's place to socialize. If you have a product or services that are geared towards a younger age group, you should set up an account and start networking. 

When you set up the account, you can make it a personal account, a business account, or both.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>What is a Blog?

In case you don’t know, a blog is kind of like a little article that you write about something and post for other people to read. While some people blog to talk about their lives and the things they are doing, you can use this outlet as a way to promote your business.

If used correctly you can make a blog that will link readers back to your website. Blogs are a great way to get attention to your company by being a person who has information and discusses things that are of interest to potential customers.

Here's a rundown of what a blog will do for your company:

Get Your Name Out There

Bill Bartmann's tip # 1 is that the first thing that a blog will do that will be helpful will be getting your name out there. When you first start your blog, you won’t have a lot of followers, but if you are persistent and make sure to keep putting out good and useful information, you will start to get a following. These will be people that read your blog updates regularly.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Podcasts-to-Promote-Your-Business-----Expert-Advice-from-Bill-Bartmann/592727</link>
         <description>How they work:

Generally a podcast will be an informational article that is recorded in an audio or video format. Often these are uploaded to a website like iTunes and people can download them and play them in the car, on a morning walk or on their computer. In today's busy world this is where a lot of people get their information

How They Help You

The way podcasts help your company is that you make sure your company name is mentioned throughout the podcast. This will do a couple of things. First you will be able to put the name of your company in the mind of the person who is listening. If they enjoy the podcast, they will equate your company name with that, meaning they will have a positive view of your company

The other thing that a podcast can do for your company is make you sound like an expert in your field. Think about it. If you are a person out who wants to learn about a topic and you find a podcast that helps you, you are going to be appreciative of the company behind that podcast.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>A Complete Phone Presentationâ Expert Advice from Bill Bartmann</title>

         <description>So what do you need? A professional after-hours and busy recording. But what does that mean? 

Clear Voice

Bill Bartmann's tip # 1 is the first thing you need to look for is a clear voice to give your message to potential callers. Remember, your phone message is your first contact with a potential customer who may call when someone else can't pick up. That means you need to make sure it is a voice that speaks clearly and well and seems to suit your company well. Perhaps your voice will be able to fit the bill. If not, and you do not know of someone who has a clear voice with presence, you can usually hire a voice actor online for a low fee. On websites like elance.com, where freelancers look for jobs, you can often hire a professional voice that will give the perfect sound to your company for $50-$100.

Who They Are Calling

Bill Bartmann's tip # 2 is that first thing your professional after-hours and busy recording needs to have on it is a clear introduction of who they are calling.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Too Much Color

Bill Bartmann's tip # 1 is while no one disagrees that the beautiful world of colors that are available when creating websites are nice, there is also too much of a good thing. When it comes to color in a website, you want to make sure that it is being used for the right reasons, not just to show you can. Make sure the colors you use work with your branding. Also, make sure they are not too overbearing. While bright colors may make you think of flashy advertising, they can be a strain on the eyes to have to look at. If people feel they are straining too much to see something, they may just decide to avoid it and go elsewhere.

Fonts

Bill Bartmann's tip # 2 is don't do use fonts that will plague your website instead of help it. There are so many ways you can make the words on your website look, it may be tempting to try a number of them. Avoid the temptation. You want to use a font that is easy to read and clear to those looking at it.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Easy to Read

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 on how to correctly set up your website is to make sure that it's easy to read. It's very easy to get carried away with all sorts of bright and flashy things that are offered on websites these days. While colors and pictures can add a lot to a website, they need to be done in a way that your message can still clearly get across to your clients. 

Make sure the text portion of your site is easy to read and is not cluttered up by all of those things. Remember, not everyone who looks at your site will have perfect vision. Some of them will have a tough time focusing on print that is too small, or moving, so keep this in mind when designing the site. You want to make sure that all the words are easy to read. After all, this is your chance to sell them on your company and your products.

         <title>Visualize Success â Expert Advice from Bill Bartmann</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Visualize-Success-----Expert-Advice-from-Bill-Bartmann/592671</link>
         <description>There has been a lot of talk in recent years about the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is a belief that your positive thinking and ability to visualize things in your life can help bring them to pass. While you may not be sure if you believe in the idea, you should give it a little merit. 

Visualizing Success

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 to visualize success is to literally make a vision in your head of a successful business. Take the time to picture what your business would look like if it were completely successful. What would the office look like? What would your paycheck look like? How would you feel? Visualize everything you can in as great of detail as you can so you can completely feel as if you have had the experience of that successful business. 

This can take more work than you think. It's easy to give yourself a 'general look' at how things will be down the road, but really visualizing the details takes a lot more work. One way to do that is to take notes as you start to be able to visualize how things will be. This does two things.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Remove the Negative

Bill Bartmann's Tip #1 in positive thinking for success is to get rid of the negative. When you think of something you need to accomplish that could take a little work, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Most people start listing the things that may get in the way of them reaching a goal. While this is just preemptive problem solving in many ways, it can also be you setting up your own roadblocks. If you think things will stop you from seeing success, they will. You need to turn those negative thoughts into positive ones. So, while you may have negative possibilities pop up, make sure you find a positive solution to each one so in your mind you can still see yourself successful at the end of the day.

Psyching Yourself Up!

Bill Bartmann's tip #2 in positive thinking for successful business is to make sure to give yourself plenty of pep talks. There's no doubt you have been in a meeting at some point in your life, either in business or sports, where there was a pep talk.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>But do you know what to really have in a sales letter? A sales letter has to be as good of a representation of you as you are. That means you have to really make sure it's written correctly to make someone read it and give you a chance, instead of just tossing it aside.

Attention Getter

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 to sales letters is that you want make sure that you can grab the attention of those who are reading it. Start by telling them (as briefly as possible) what reason they should read on. For example, if your sales letter is to promote financial advising services, you may want to open with a simple phrase that lets the reader know why they need your service, such as 'One in three people are losing money on their retirement investments and won't have the money to support themselves in their golden years. But we can help…"

This type of thing helps people realize immediately that they may be one of the people your product can help.

Main Points

Bill Bartmann's tip #2 to sales letters is to try to stick to the points.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Ask-For-Help-If-You-Need-It-----Expert-Advice-from-Bill-Bartmann/592605</link>
         <description>Think about all aspects of life. When you are facing a challenge and you have people who can help you, you ask for help, right? Even back in grade school if you needed help with your homework you could ask a friend, family member or even a teacher to give you a hand.

Running your own business is no different. While you can't expect people to run your business for you, you can be willing to ask them for a little help when you need it.

Networking

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 to asking for help is to educate everyone you know and are close to about your business and ask them to talk about it. 

Word of mouth is one of the best advertising forms out there, especially if you run a business that is catered to the area where you live. One of the reasons that networking is so positive a form of advertising is that it has a trust factor to it. When someone wants to know a place they can go for a particular product or service and someone you know recommends you, that is much better than seeing an advertisement in a newspaper or on TV.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Employee-Impact-----Expert-Advice-from-Bill-Bartmann/592595</link>
         <description>Positive Impression

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 for making sure your employees have the right impact on your customers is to work with them on a positive impression. Here are a couple of examples of the right and wrong impression to have.

There is a small privately run market that I frequent. Initially I went there just to see what they had to offer, but I keep going back for the employee impact. When you go to the deli counter, you will be approached by one of the always-positive employees who are ready to help you with a smile. Not only are they smiling, but they will do what they can to make you smile, including telling a corny joke or two. The attention put into making people happy while making their purchases has a great impact that I enjoy going back for. Their selection was good, but nothing I couldn't find at another store. But the service makes it worth going back time and time again.

Meanwhile, consider a restaurant I decided to try once that was new to my area.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Always Think First Impression

Bill Bartmann tip # 1 is every time a customer comes to your business, you should treat them like it is their first time and you are trying to set that perfect first impression. While you may know them well enough to call them by their name and ask about their family, you also need to remember that they deserve just as much respect and adoration as that new customer you are trying to land. As a matter of fact they likely deserve more since they are coming back time and time again and adding more to your bottom line.

Know Them

Bill Bartmann tip # 2 is get to know the people who are coming to you with their business. In addition to being a part of your paycheck, these are also people – humans who have lives, thoughts, feelings and stories. Get to know your customers. The more you are able to build a relationship with them, the more they are going to want to come back to you with their business.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Here's a quick refresher on what you should know about the product you are selling:

Intimate Product Knowledge

Bill Bartmann tip #1 is to know the product in great detail. Do you remember in school when you knew you were having a test on one chapter of a book and you read it over and over and over trying to remember every detail since you didn't know what the question would be on? This is just how you should be thinking about the products you are selling. You have no idea what people will want to know and what questions they will want to ask about the product during your pitch, so you should know everything, without even having to think about it. Does it come in different sizes? What are they? What about different colors? Scents? What is it made of? How was it made? Where was it made? What ingredients are in it? Try to know everything you possibly can about the product so you always have an answer ready to go when you someone asks.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>Selling to the Senses â Expert Advise from Bill Bartmann</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Selling-to-the-Senses-----Expert-Advise-from-Bill-Bartmann/592450</link>
         <description>Think of the senses – sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell. These are the ways we, as humans, relate to the world. Yet people don't keep this in mind when it comes to selling and setting up their store.

Additionally, when people learn, they use one of three senses – sight, touch or sound. Some are more prone to one learning style. Some people are more tuned into sight. Others are more in tune to sound. Still others need a hands on approach to really learn and understand things.

Let's look at each of these in a little more details:

Sight

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 for selling to the senses is to remember the importance of sight. This means you need to make sure your store is well lit and attractive to the eyes. To this end you need to make sure all of your displays are visually appealing. You want them to pull shoppers to the items that you are trying to sell and make them want to take a closer look. The display should be completely self-explanatory to those looking at it as well.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Whether you are giving a sales pitch for your products or just a company presentation for others in your industry, the next time you give that presentation you need to listen as much as you need to speak.

Give it In House

Bill Bartmann's tip # 1 to improve your presentation is to start by testing it out in house. If you have coworkers or even family (if you run a home based business), these folks may be a great help in giving you a way to test your presentation. Present the whole thing to them and then let them point out any areas they didn't understand or think may have been lacking. Don't be offended by their comments. You have asked them to help you and they are going to assist in making your presentation better for the real sales!

Record the Q&A

Bill Bartmann's tip # 2 to improve your presentation is once the presentation is finished to hold a question and answer session the next time you give the presentation and make sure to record it so you can hear what the audience was thinking about at the end of the presentation.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>Word of Mouth Advertising â Expert Advice From Bill Bartmann</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Word-of-Mouth-Advertising-----Expert-Advice-From-Bill-Bartmann/592347</link>
         <description>Of course you likely think of the main advertising methods when the word comes to mind such as television, radio or newspaper advertising. You may also think about flyers that you can print and hand out or those little mailers that end up in everyone's mailbox weekly or monthly. But all of those cost money. Some of them cost money in the respect that you have to buy advertising space. Others cost money in the respect that you have to print the ads up yourself and hand them out, costing money in the time spent.

So, what other options do you have? How about the power of people? You should be using word of mouth advertising as much as you humanly can!

Start With People You Know

Bill Bartmnn's tip #1 for word of mouth advertising is to use your mouth to do as much advertising as you possibly can. Talk to everyone you know about your business – family, friends, co-workers from old jobs, anyone you network with.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Make it Personal

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 for creating a successful sales presentation is to make it personal. This means if you can, try to have a one on one presentation with your potential client. This makes them feel important and like they are the center of attention. This automatically puts a good feeling in their head about you and your company. 

There is also a little more unspoken pressure for them to buy in this situation since it's just the two of you and they can't hide behind other potential customers and slink away.

Visualize

Bill Bartmann's tip #2 for creating a successful sales presentation is to make sure your presentation has a very strong visual component. People like to see things. They like to see charts, pictures, and words in writing. We are a very visual society. That's why billboards work so well. So, make sure you are giving them visual backing to your sales pitch. This could be in the form of a slide show, pictures, brochures or anything else that lets their eyes take in the presentation as much as their ears.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>Up Selling â Expert Advice From Bill Bartmann</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Up-Selling-----Expert-Advice-From-Bill-Bartmann/592217</link>
         <description>Here's how the average sale goes:

A person comes to you and discusses the possibility of making a purchase or wants to learn more about one of your items. You are thrilled at the idea of making a sale so you work all of your sales magic trying to let them know why this item will be good for them. Your sales pitch goes well and they decide to make the purchase.

You are now riding high on the victory of a sale and ring them up, sending them on their way with what they need and happy that you have closed the sale. Mission complete, right? Wrong! You have missed one of the vital parts of this sale – up selling. 

Up selling is when you not only sell the person what they initially came in for, but you also sell them other products or services that can be useful.

There are a couple of ways people look at up selling. Some think up selling is just pushing other products on people, but this is not the way it should be done.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billionaireu.com&quot;&gt;becoming a billionaire&lt;/a&gt; , going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <description>Know Your Product

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 for making a sale is to know your product. While this may seem like common sense, I am not talking about just knowing what is on the sales sheet of the product, but really know the product. If you are selling a tangible item like a lotion or cleaning product make sure you have used it. Know what it smells like, feels like, and how it works. If you are selling a timeshare, try to have been to the location so you can talk about the great things nearby as well as the property. If you can't get there, read up all you can about the location. If you are selling services, really understand those services so your knowledge of them is obvious to those you are selling it to.

Believe In Your Product

Bill Bartmann's tip #2 for making a sale relates to what you think of the items you are selling. Do you love and believe in the items you are selling? If you don't that may be coming across to your potential customers in unspoken language. Our bodies do a lot of talking that we have no control over.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!

         <title>Closing A Sale â Expert Advice From Bill Bartmann</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Closing-A-Sale-----Expert-Advice-From-Bill-Bartmann/591517</link>
         <description>You know your product. You know you love it and believe in it. You also think you are pretty sure it is perfect for the people you are selling it to. You have done your presentation. You have shown them the benefits and reasons it will make a positive change in their life, now what? 

Now it's time to close the sale.

Q&A

Bill Bartmann's tip #1 for closing the sale is to make sure you offer your potential customers as much time as they need for questions and answers. While your presentation may well have covered everything you think they needed to know, that doesn't mean they are completely confident of that. Or, perhaps they missed an important piece of information you were trying to pass on. Give them plenty of time to ask all the questions they have and make sure you thoroughly answer them.

Listen

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Recession-Advertising---Expert-Advice-from-Bill-Bartmann/591500</link>
         <description>Do you think your customers are stupid? They know there is a recession. They are living in it every day. They know their corporate lives are getting tighter, their home budgets are getting tighter and everything else in the world is a little more economically unstable right now. So, acting like there is no recession is nothing more than you showing your customers you don’t know what is happening in the world. Instead, you need to be honest with your recession knowledge and even use it as a part of your sales advantage.

Confront the Recession

Bill Bartmann tip #1 for recession advertising is to really understand the recession and how it is impacting your industry. Every industry is impacted differently in this type of economic climate. You really need to understand what it is doing to your field.

You also need to understand what the recession is doing to your customers. Look at how it is changing their lives and their thoughts. They are likely stressed out and worrying about every dollar they spend. This doesn't mean they are not willing to spend those dollars; they just want to make sure they are making wise decisions.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bill+Bartmann" rel="tag">Bill Bartmann</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/CFS" rel="tag">CFS</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+financial+services" rel="tag">commercial financial services</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/billionaire" rel="tag">billionaire</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/business" rel="tag">business</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/self-esteem" rel="tag">self-esteem</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/motivation" rel="tag">motivation</a>]]> <![CDATA[ self-help course]]> <![CDATA[ millionaire]]> <![CDATA[ bill]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]> Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who went from homeless at the age of 14 to becoming a billionaire, going bankrupt, then bouncing back to do it again!
