Boost Your Business: Tips for Sharing Goals and Gaining Customer Support

[NooraK]

When looking at advice about how to boost my business, one thought that keeps coming up is sharing my goals. The idea being that people like to help people, and when you tell your customers your goal and ask them for their help, they will give it.

My question is how detailed should it be? If my goal is Disney World, how specific should I be with what I need to do to get there?

Do I just tell them I'm working towards Disney World, or do I tell them I need to recruit 10 people and sell $6000 worth each month until the end of the year? Or something in between? How about tracking my progress on my PWS for people to see?

Thoughts? Ideas?

This is a great question. I love the idea. My goal isn't Disney (I know I'm probably the only one). I'm just not sure how to state a goal like one that involves how many shows a month etc....Love to see what you all think...

Hmmm, that's an interesting idea. I wonder if it would be best to be vague ("I'm trying to increase my sales and add as many people as possible to my team") until someone asks for details. Sometimes when people see the bar set high they thing that their $20 order can't possibly help.
