Thoughts on Sales 298-306

Corporate culture starts at the top: treat your employees the way you want them to treat your clients

When moving forward with a potentially ‘difficult’ client, proceed cautiously; things usually end where they begin

Write down everything; brains are best at processing, not storing.

Enthusiasm can overcome almost any obstacle.

95% of what you worry about never happens

Build value or you’ll lose sales

Successful thoughts make you successful.

Learn something new everyday.

Final Thoughts

To paraphrase John Maxwell, courage is not a quality we need only at times of danger and stress. Courage is an everyday virtue; an everyday virtue we need to live a life without regrets.

Have the courage to change when remaining comfortable is so much easier; have the courage to learn when doing so could be perceived as a sign of weakness; have the courage to stand by your convictions when you are challenged by others; have the courage to take the ‘high road’, because there is not a right way to do the wrong thing.

Do good, reach out, make a difference and don’t forget: it’s pretty easy to take responsibility when the stakes are low.
