Greetings from FICCI!
International Trade Centre (ITC) is a Joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations. ITC assists small and medium-sized enterprises in developing and transition economies to become more competitive in global markets. Women’s economic empowerment is not a matter for government policy, the private sector, or civil society alone. All have critical roles to play. This is why the International Trade Centre (ITC) has launched the SheTrades initiative, which seeks to connect one million women entrepreneurs to market by 2020. Having more women in the marketplace has a positive impact businesses in all sectors and the women themselves who benefit from a larger workforce, more competition, and as a result more choices between better products. In fact, the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that advancing women’s equality could add US $28 trillion to global GDP by 2025, enabling economies to unlock their full potential –and SheTrades is the key.
SheTrades Global is the premier global business event to connect with export ready Women Entrepreneurs, Buyers, Investors and Partners.

Over the last several years, while I’ve used a variety of tools from mere contact managers through sophisticated deal trackers to full-fledged CRM suites, I’ve found myself returning each time to a simple spreadsheet-based sales tracker, at least in the early days. The tracker has not only evolved as I’ve learned but stayed surprisingly simple and has worked just as well in a fund-raising function at non-profits as it has in a for-profit startup.
As I promised these founders, I’m open sourcing the sample tracker as an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The tracker can be used for selling products or services or combinations thereof. You can download it here.
The tracker has three parts.

In a world where social media marketing gains power by the minute, earning “social currency” for your local business is critical to success. In short, social currency is what your business earns when customers and prospects share information about you via social media. That might be a recommendation, review, blog post, tweet, photo, video or just a thought.
Whatever it is helps put your name and your “brand” (got one?) in front of potential buyers. The point is that they are sharing something about you, and that’s (almost) like money in the bank. It helps you develop a unique identity for your business, yourself or your brand and creates more opportunities to interact with customers and prospects and develop the all-important relationships that lead to repeat customers and referrals.
Earning social currency for your business is one of the most important value-building marketing moves you can make today. And it doesn’t have to cost you money.

If money comes into a business, it is sales and if it goes out of business, it is marketing. This is one simple but a most important difference between sales and marketing. As an entrepreneur, I made a few mistakes within the first month of launching Nurture Talent Academy. We gave an advertisement worth Rs 20,000 in a leading newspaper, and guess what, just one person called as a response to seeing that print advertisement. That was the first and most important lesson I learned — you cannot throw money and get customers.
