How to grow your business during the holidays

Thursday, December 11th, 2008 at 11:00am (EST), was the debut of my Internet television show, The Tyrone Turner Show.

The theme of this broadcast was how to grow your business during the holidays.

Below is the outline of the points covered.

Welcome

Purpose of the show

A little about me

The mistake that most sales people and entrepreneurs make during the holidays

The top 10 things to do:

1. Go to holiday functions
2. Organize the contact info you gathered
3. Reach out to existing customers to offer assistance
4. Setup a BlitzTime account
5. Join Salesconx
6. Join online social networks. I personally like these five: Meetup.com; LinkedIn.com; FastPitcthNetworking.com; FaceBook.com; and MyMarketingRoom.info
7. Send out notification e-mails and letters to your contacts
8. Research face-to-face networking groups to join
9. Seek out speaking engagements
10. Create budgets (time and money) to invest in your professional development

I had technical difficulties at the beginning of the broadcast, and the audio was choppy at times, but I hope that you can still glean some helpful tips from this show.

If you haven't already done so, and you're looking to do your own Internet television broadcasts, go to www.ustream.tv to set up your free account.

It is a best practice to give credit where credit is due - thank you very much Lisa Torres for telling me about ustream.tv and assisting me with the technical difficulties that I was having at the beginning of the show.

Thank you for you time, folks.
