Building a Business

For the past 10 years I have been building my company (Professional Sales Plus, Inc.). I don't think I will slow down any time soon for I love what I do. The challenge is to find alternate sources of revenue and to keep adding value to my existing and future clients.

The alternate sources of revenue have been my 4 books. I have sold a good number of them and I am continuing to write more. These books are now in 8 languages. I have two more coming into print this year - The Passionate Trainer and Another Flippin Change Book. I am also going to launch a Manager's Assistant which is a ongoing source of guidance for managers to help them run their business and their teams.

The value I am adding is in the form of copy written seminars that comprehensively train salespersons, first line managers and agency/branch managers. These are five-day seminars that build skills very quickly. I have sold two of these programs a few times and look forward to selling them in the future. The customer can have me train their trainers to deliver these programs, or I can deliver them to the participants.

I have also launched 3 of 4 websites; this one, jamesmheidema.com - About my Professional and Personal Life, and professionalsalesplus.com - One About my Company. I am looking for ways to help existing and potential customers to find me on the internet.

Another business project is to enlarge the Professional Sales Plus Team. I now have 9 associates in various countries promoting or delivering the Professional Sales Plus message and seminars. I have partners in Romania, Turkey, Slovakia, three in Jamaica, China and four in Canada

I will continue to build this enterprise for it is my legacy.
