Part 3-Trust-Know-Care

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/06/26

In Part Three of my Return To Basics Campaign, I am going to remind you of the three questions new acquaintances will be asking themselves to position you accurately. In silence, they will be asking, "Can I trust this person?" This question will be followed by, "Do they know what they are talking about?" And finally, "Do they care about me?" Knowing these three questions are passing through their heads, provides you with an opportunity to respond accordingly. Take a listen to this week's podcast and

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/06/23

This year's NCAA College Baseball World Series Trophy went to LSU and rightfully so. In an interview with their coach before the final game, the coach was asked the secret to his success to date. Without missing a beat, he responded with, "We spend a lot of time on the fundamentals and basics of the game." BRILLIANT!. The ball comes your way ... catch it. The pitch is a strike ... hit it. When you run, run fast. You do these things correctly every time and you too will be raising the winner's trophy

Public Speaking Tips

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/05/31

Speaking to groups is an ideal way to position yourself as the "go-to" resource. The truth is that most people shy away from speaking too groups. This is a huge error as far as I am concerned. In this episode, I will share a few tips that I feel will help you the next time you are given the opportunity to share your information with a crowd.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2025/05/25

In Part Three of Improving your communication skills, Miike will be focusing on the written word. It is important to remember that a written document is interpreted based on the mood of the reader and not that of the writer. In this podcast, Mike will address nine salient points to keep in mind when communicating via the written word.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Better Telephone Communications

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/05/14

The simple act of speaking, or talking, does not automatically infer that your message is being received and internalized. Although it is easy to poo-poo the steps involved in effective communication, I feel it is important to review some of the basics now and then. Not knowing you personally, I am betting that you can benefit from today's reminders. You be the judge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Face-to-face Communication

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/05/04

A common problem that we all must come to terms with involves daily communication. We we think we are saying may not be what people are hearing. This is the first of four episodes focusing on communication reminders. Today refers to face-to-face encounters. Future episodes will include the telephone, the written word and speaking in public. You will quickly notice that Mike's voice in this episode sounds a bit froggy due to a nagging cough which is taking all too long to shake. There just might be

Don't Cry Until You Are Hurt

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/04/05

We all exhibit the human tendency to think of the worse case scenario when we venture into the unknown. Today's message uses a car jack (tool) as an example of why it does not always make sense to talk ourselves into a tizzy before it is time to do so. I believe today's message will hit a nerve with all my listeners. I know it hit one of my nerves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PREFERRED SUPPLIERS

2025/03/26

This week I came across a CD program I once recorded for Vacation.com. They have since joined Travel Leaders but a few years back I teamed with the Hertz Corporation and delivered a quarterly audio newsletter. This particular recording featured an interview with industry specialist Bob Abrahms who shared his thoughts and importance of maintaining a sound business relationship with preferred suppliers. The information was good a few years back and it is just as sound today.See omnystudio.com/listener

When The World Hits You With a Curve Ball

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/03/20

I received a phone call from a former client who was seeking advice now that he found himself floundering without full-time employment. Being on the downside of the curve, employment wise, I feel bad for men and women who have a job on Friday and find themselves unemployed on Monday. This gentleman was open to any advice I might have for him. I gave him my best suggestion given the current state of affairs. I knew it would be easier said than done. But if one word sums up my opinion it would be

Call Them Sooner Rather Than Later

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/03/14

It happened to me again this week. Not once. Not twice. But three times. A name popped into my head and I decided to contact that person, but I failed to act. You guessed it. They contacted me which resulted in the same lame response. "I was just thinking about you and you were on my lis to call." I don't know how these things work, but I believe the brain has powers similar to the cell phone. No wires.... but a true connection just the same. Bottom Line: If you think of someone, call them.See

Seeking The Path of Least Resistance

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/01/16

Although asking for referrals may sound like a smart way to stimulate new business activity, you will find that asking for an introduction eliminates all of the stress stemming from this activity. Bottom Line: Stop asking others to do your work for you and simply request a personal invitation. You will "carry the ball "from that point on without jeopardizing any relationships along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quality vs Quantity

2025/01/11

Let's not get caught up in the numbers game that suggested that the more mud we throw against the wall, the more of it will stick. It is time we focus intently on the quality of our next prospect. Today's episode will make this abundantly clear by sharing an example of a travel agent located in Colorado.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eye Contact.

MIKE"d UP MARCHEV | Travmarket Media Network ·

2025/01/06

Kicking off 2025 with a reminder that may just be the most important reminder of the year. From today on, focus on your eye contact and eliminate as much as you can "eye-dart." You may think you already do this to your total satisfaction. I'm here to tell you that you probably do not. The challenge as we begin another year is to look people in the eye when you are speaking with them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
