Outlets that have covered our award from Verizon include several ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates from all over the United States, and each of them have spoke glowingly about ConectUS.

Everything that has come along with this coverage has not just benefited us, but our agents as well. Businesses from across the country have reached out to ConectUS to learn more about how Verizon solutions can take their business to the next level due to the extensive media coverage we have been getting, and we have been able to lead these businesses to our agents to show them exactly why that is true.

“I am constantly elated by the expertise, commitment and passion demonstrated by every single member of our ConectUS family,” ConectUS Wireless Executive Vice President Rick James Stapp said. “Our partners always tell me how much they appreciate the personal attention they receive from ConectUS support staff. They especially like our commitment to answering every phone call during business hours.”

ConectUS, according to Verizon, was selected for the “Partner of the Year” Award for “being on the leading edge of serving customers and delivering results” along with our “accomplishments, alignment with social and community impact, customer business impact, and partner innovation.”

We couldn’t have won this award without our partners, and the wonderful staff over at Verizon, and we’re looking forward to continuing to chase greatness now, and moving forward.

In business, there are tons of key factors when it comes to growing your company and capitalizing on as many sales opportunities as possible. Utilizing social media, building connections and lead generation are all crucial to maximizing profits. However, one of the biggest keys to sales growth that doesn’t get talked about enough is the importance of customer experience.

Customer experience is the impression that a customer has of a particular company based on the interactions and experiences they have with that business. It includes every touchpoint that this particular customer has, from browsing the internet and coming across the company’s website to any interaction that the customer has with a member of the business. Customer experience is under a broad umbrella, but excelling in all aspects of it will differentiate your business from the competition.

Having a good customer experience boosts sales because of the loyalty that comes from the customer over time. If the customer has a positive interaction every time that they deal with your business, they are much more likely to return in the future. This could also lead to the customer telling other people about your company: then you have a chance to continue to multiply your customer base.

When focussing on customer experience, this will also help limit the customers that leave or switch to a competitor. Make your customer feel at home during every interaction and there is then a much better chance of them being a lifetime customer. Having a better customer experience than your competitors will set your business apart and will attract more customers just based on the fact that you have provided elite customer service and given them a positive experience every single time.

Through having this positive relationship with your customers, you are also much more likely to have the opportunity for up-selling. If you consistently meet your customers’ needs, you can recommend additional products or services.

Focussing on customer experience could help take your sales numbers to the next level this year, and a focus in this area will help lead to lifetime customers and a much better presence across the business world.

In this episode of The Horn Presents Road to the Race, David tells us about how SMBs can get great returns on investment by sponsoring a NASCAR team or driver. Not only can businesses bring their clients to the race for an immersive experience they will never forget, but also, they can create engaging content that can be posted on social media or email campaigns.

Some of the modified cars had floorboards and seats removed, so they were able to transport as many cases of liquor as possible. Stronger suspension was required to handle the increased weights, and if dirt roads might feature in the high-speed chases, it was common to put deflector barriers in front of the engine grill to reduce the ingress of road dirt clogging the radiator.

Even before Prohibition ended in 1933, some drivers were already racing these souped-up automobiles just for fun, through the streets of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and other states in the South. In 1932, Ford introduced its flathead V-8, with eight-cylinders, liquor runners were fast to adopt the engine – and so too did police departments in a bid to keep pace.

Hence, some of the early NASCAR drivers had moonshining somewhere in their or relatives’ upbringing. For example, Junior Johnson tore up dirt tracks across the South and notched five victories on the NASCAR circuit in 1955. It is reputed that between races and seasons, he would return home to the mountains of North Carolina to work in the family business – moonshining. You had to have a fast car to be able to moonshine and stay ahead of law enforcement and, for Johnson, that was the perfect introduction to a career with the National Association of Stock Car Racing.

When on May 23rd, 2010, the inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame class was introduced, several of the best-known drivers were original front runners during the end of the prohibition era. The root of stock car racing comes from Prohibition and has now blossomed into a world-famous organization.

I’ve seen salespeople in the business for a year, perform as well as others with twenty years ‘experience’. The reason is fairly simple. The fact is that they both had only one year of ‘experience’. The rookie had one year’s worthwhile the veteran had one year’s worth repeated twenty times.

Now you might be thinking that this concept is absurd but consider this. If the veteran salesperson entered the profession with an eager passion and learns all he or she can within that first year, then had a measure of success, the learning curve often flattens out. People tend to become complacent following some level of success.

When complacency sets in, people will fail to learn from their new experiences. This means they will make the same mistakes over and over again, year in and year out. They no longer are adding to their experience level. They simply add to their time in the business. To me, the measure of true experience is the acquisition of new knowledge and skills, along with the adjustment of their personal actions in response to marketplace experiences and mistakes made.

When this measure is the yardstick used to determine experience, the passage of time alone ceases to be very relevant. I hope you will agree with his concept as you move along your career path.

Never allow yourself to believe your that brain is full or believe that there is nothing else to learn. Don’t rest in complacency. It’s not a safe parking spot for your career, is it?

The post Selling Experience, How Would You Describe Yours? appeared first on ConectUS Wireless.

You may have already seen interviews with Neil where I’ve mentioned Bobby Dotter’s name. From 1988-2004, Bobby drove in almost 300 NASCAR races, including the Busch Series, named for the then major sponsor Anheuser-Busch. It was then I became a big fan of Bobby, cheering him on as he moved towards the front during his races. Despite his obvious skills as a driver, he only won one Busch race in 1992.

It was at the Motor Mile Speedway in Dublin, Virginia where Bobby led the race for 58 of the 200 laps, but was passed by Jeff Burton with only seven laps to go. So it was Burton who got the confetti and champagne in Victory Lane. However, Burton’s car failed inspection, thus giving the win to Bobby, who had crossed the finishing line second.

Bobby had already left the speedway when Burton’s car was disqualified. His crew chief called him at home with the news.

Years later, Bobby told me that at first, he thought the telephone call was a prank. Then he asked himself, “Am I dreaming? This has got to be a dream. This just doesn’t happen to me.”

The Busch Series started its life in 1950 as Sportsman National Championship, NASCAR’s fourth series after the Modified Series, Roadster Series, and Strictly Stock Series of the late 1940s. The sportsman cars were not current model cars, and significant modifications were allowed. Races were typically on shorter tracks. In its first three years, 1950 to 1952, the championship was won by Mike Klapak from Warren, Ohio. The championship was won by Ralph Lee Earnhardt, father of Dale Earnhardt Sr, still greatly missed by all of us. 

In 1968, the Sportsman National Championship has renamed the Late Model Sportsman Series and soon featured races on longer tracks such as Daytona International Speedway. 

The current format – the one we all recognize today – was formed in 1982. However, the name was not changed until 1986 when it became the Busch Grand National Series; later just Busch Series. On February 13, 1982, the first race of the new touring series was also the first superspeedway event in the history of the series. The race was the Goody’s 300 and it was run at Daytona International Speedway. And, in an amazing coincidence, Dale Earnhardt won the race.

Over the years, the number of cars allowed on the starting grid has varied between 36 and 43.

Some NASCAR Cup Series drivers have also driven in the Busch Series races – the first typically on a Saturday, the latter the next day. Sometimes affectionately referred to as Bushwhackers, it has been suggested that they received an advantage of more practice time on the track. I can tell you from personal experience that an Xfinity car and a Cup Series car handle very differently, so there is no unfair advantage gained by participating in both races.

Despite his best efforts, after 1992 Bobby Dotter never again won a Busch Series race. It is a testament to his character and drives that he has never given up. He went on to become a team owner, competing in the Truck Series before moving to the Xfinity Series. SS-Green Light Racing found success in February when my friend Cole Custer won at Auto Club Speedway in California. He was driving SS-Green Light’s #07 Ford Mustang, the sister car to my Ford Mustang.

I feel privileged to be driving with Bobby Dotter and to be racing in the Xfinity Series, the successor to the Busch Series.
