It’s almost Christmas

Well, not quite, but, just a dozen weekends away!!!

I’m excited — are you? Okay, to tell you the truth, not that excited — kids are grown and mama and I just sit and have a nice hot-toddy while looking out the window (do I sound like a nursery rhyme yet?).

But on to something more relevant — the holiday season is fast approaching and you need to start thinking of what to get those “co-workers” of yours that aren’t friends, but, definitely associates; you know, those people you interact with every day that deserve something — like a book, but not something expensive, like a hard-back book (do people even know what books are anymore?).

What do you get? How can you get it without having to ship anything? And how can you spend less than $100 but still cover all of them?

Yeppers — bet you’re way ahead of me on this one — why not get them Illumineto Spark.

Most sales professionals want other reps in their companies to be successful, as long as it doesn’t take up their time in “helping” them. As most of our users have come to realize, Spark also eliminates many area’s of time spent outside of selling to a prospect.

• Spark eliminates the time spent on searching for the right content
• Spark eliminates the time spent on updating CRM records (done automatically)

And other tasks that save time; but, back to the point that matters for this post:

• Spark eliminates the time spent sending the best content or assets TO fellow team-members — imagine that! Every day, the best sales professional in the organization is asked “what’s the best asset for this situation” or “can you send me that presentation you did last week” and so on.

And that’s what Illumineto Spark eliminates and is perfect to give as a gift!

Think about it, it’s exactly what those other sales professionals need — they get to increase their sales, increase revenue, and most importantly they will stop bugging you for assets and content and stuff — it’s a gift that not only benefits them, but more importantly, benefits you. (Can I dare say “A gift that keeps on giving”?)

Let me ask you this final thought? If you were to list the top 10 gifts you ever received from fellow employee’s, what would they be? I can say that at least seven of them, without much though, are “gifts” that were given to me by my mentors, from quotes (like, “There’s only two ways to get someones attention: put money in their pocket or take money out of it”) to introductions to individuals that, to this day, affect my professional and personal life to ideas and concepts on how to live my life by saving time and spending it on what I love most.

What I’m saying is that you don’t always have to spend money to give a gift — share with your colleagues how you are increasing sales and earning more money by introducing them to Spark (free for you and free for them).

Isn’t that a gift worth giving?
