10 and counting...

Greetings and HAPPY MONDAY!

The calendar is making noise this morning...it has started the count down to 2011.  Just like in school, we are in the next "grading period" and have a new chance to make our mark and decide to be great!  We have 10 weeks left in the year...

So, I thought I would share my TOP 10 To-Do's for the remaining 10 weeks...

10.   Finish your 2011 plan...with a unique addition of your Jump Start plan for the 1st 90 days of 2011
9.     Share you budget wrapped in an ROI evaluation for the entire year
8.     Make social media an important component of your 2011 plans...in ways that fit your organization
7.     Consider branch level marketing plans...that include a "budget" for local initiatives...that puts the planning and decision in the hands of the local manager and relieves you on saying no...they budget it!
6.     Make sure your sales support mirrors your marketing planning
5.     Strategically analyze one product line for the coming year
4.     Create one new internal communication process...there can never be too much communication!
3.     Create one new "thank you" process for staff
2.     Determine the best marketing investment you made this year...and consider doubling it next year!
1.     Get your shopping done early!!

Here's to a great 2011...

"Whether you think you can or you cannot...you are right!"

Cheers!
