Remember when you believed all you had to do was ask?
For those of us in sales, could that be something we often forget?
Ask for a referral?
Ask for the appointment?
Ask for the business?
Believe in... YOURSELF!
Are you wishing for a prosperous New Year in 2010? Or believing it?
Something to think about!

You are so right. Sometimes we think people know what we want. We need to ask for things in life, and yes, believe we are going to get them.
Good article. We learn a lot to pass on to our clients from Active Rain Blogs. Best Regards,
Easy to forget that, huh, Jane?
Nice Post Ruth. We absolutely should be asking for business. I get so frustrated when clients say, "Well I didn't want to bother you, I know you are busy." It is my job, please bother me.
Ruth, this is really a simple and powerful idea at the same time. It is amazing what happens when you just ask.
Typically,if you don't ask you won't receive. Happy New Year to you!
Tina, has it ever happened to you when you knew you wanted a certain service or product, but lost the contact info and HOPED they would call back? And they never did??? Happens to me often.
Guy, It is simple when you think about it, huh??? One of those, "Wow, I could have had a V8" moments!
Renee, Very true words. Happy New Year to you as well!
What a great reminder. Yes that is all we have to do and not be afriad of the nos.
Exactly, Diane. And here's BELIEVING YOU will have a prosperous New Year!
Thanks Ruth, Your blog comes at an opportune moment when I am listening, thinking and planning out 2010.
Have a great year and a successful one!
Fabulous Post!!!! I am terrible at this...2010, I am going to BELIEVE IN MYSELF AND ASK FOR BUSINESS....
Do you have any home buyers who need a mortgage? I need business :)

John, thanks for stopping by. (And thanks for adding me as an associate! I appreciate it that!)
Amy, I see you are practicing already! Good for you.
Excellent timing, thought provoking as well, it made me recall what i said at the end of my last few meetings, and what to improve in 2010.
Adorable Ruth! Thanks for the reminder to "Just ask."
Nancy
Thanks Ruth...often the best advice is the simplest and easiest to understand.
Happy New Year
Oh Ruth, what a terrific post. It's important to ask for the business - some like the "soft sell" but eventually you HAVE to ask!!
On another note, I still believe, and was heart broken when my grandkids told me the Santa in Red Feather was a fake Santa!! Geesh- kids these days! :-) Excellent post and idea Ruth! Great job!
Thanks Ruth! Great post. I'm trying to get better at this blogging thing. Have made a few mistakes! But thanks for keeping me positive!
You are so right Ruth! It can be hard to ask but it has to get done. Great post Ruth and have a Happy New Year!
