Dinner with Jeffrey Gitomer Contest

Ace of Sales is looking for creative email greetings to judge as part of its contest to win an all expense trip to the Buy Gitomer studios and have dinner with Jeffrey himself. The contest was inspired from the new release of Ace of Sales 2.0 design software.

If you want to enter, but can't get the creative juices flowing try this method for sparking the thought process.

I'm always surprised where my creative thoughts come from - most often it is when I am least expecting the idea. Creativity can be inspired from personal experiences that we've had.

Here's my plan for sparking creativity.

+ Read or think about the idea (best if done right before you fall asleep)
+ Try to relate the theme to a past or recent life experience. This will draw a connection and start the flow of thoughts streaming into your brain.
+ Next, intentionally focus on something completely separate from the idea.
+ That's it. The magic starts to happen and a creative idea, thought, or solution pops into your head.

It might take some practice, but be patient it works.

Give it a try. Use the dinner with Jeffrey contest as a test drive. You never know, you just might end up at the dinner table with him!
