Sales and Growth Challenges

I am wrapping up a week of sales activity, catching up on phone calls all with still dozens to return. Even we consultants find ourselves in the situations we warn and advise our small business clients of...the see-saw sales of the entrepreneur being the primary sales person. Up and down revenue and work load goes against my billable time.

I continue to feel the most important thing for CH Consulting is to find the right VP of Sales and Marketing. This will shift us from the current sales mode of capitalizing only on what we are being pursued to do, to an opportunity to pursue all of the untapped markets for our products and services we have so many plans for. To find the right person....

Yet another growing pain, like all the others we help our clients navigate as well.

Back from Vacation and Ready to Blog

Hello all,
It took a week's vacation (the first one in the last three years) for me to finally get on here and use the blog. I have been so busy with day-to-day life that I have not taken the time to reflect. Because I think that this blog provides an opportunity for me to share with you my thoughts, I would like to remind all of the workaholics that I know and have the pleasure of working with (you know who you are) to take the time to vacation. It does a body, mind and spirit good. I came back charged to do get back to work and do business with a new energy, a broader perspective, and a greater sense of balance. We all need a break

For the curious I was at the New Age Health Spa. A great spa and a wonderful experience.

Christa
