2 Things Race Car Driving Has in Common with Selling
| |
| Karl said that for him, the single biggest commonality between racing and selling is the ability to be in control of his emotions, a strength which, in selling, not too many salespeople have mastered. It was as a professional race car driver when Subaru, his first real employer, would send Karl to struggling car dealers to help them push cars - despite the fact that Karl didn't view himself as a salesperson. However, if you listen to his very entertaining stories about growing up, you realize that he was always selling - because he had to. |

Prospect to Prosper
| |
| There’s an old joke the rookie sales rep asks her sales manager ”How long do I have to keep prospecting?” Her answer, “Until you want to.” Most of us are like the rookie; we prospect because we have to. In the beginning we have to generate leads to build a good book of business. Then we have to prospect to find replacements for the inevitable 20% of our clients that become inactive each year. Does it ever end? |

RIPKEN BELONGS IN BRANDING HALL OF FAME
| |
| This summer Cal Ripken will be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame -- not so much for his baseball numbers as for the fantastic brand he created. Cal’s career batting average is not even close to .300, and he did not average more than 25 home runs or 100 RBIs a season. Yet he is one of the most popular, memorable, and marketable players of recent history. Why? |

Why Prospecting is Like Baseball
| |
| The reason I want to talk about why prospecting is like baseball is because I recently saw a quote by Mickey Mantle that struck home: "During my 18 years in baseball, I came to bat almost 9,000 times. I struck out over 1,700 times and walked over 1,800 times. That means I played seven years in the major leagues without even hitting a baseball." |

Two Important Qualities
| |
| There are a lot of similarities between business and baseball, and in ways they are interchangeable. I played baseball in high school and became captain of the team. I learned a lot about how teams can excel with the right leadership and with regard to the specific talents of each player. It was a great education. |

Social Media: Set Your Employees Free
| |
| Every morning while I’m getting ready for work, my two little boys get to watch some TV. My wife and I have decided that a little Disney Channel in the morning is not going to rot their brains, and we limit their TV time to 30 minutes each morning and evening. Today, I asked my three year old son what his favorite show was, and I was a little surprised to find out that Phineas and Ferb had replaced his previous favorite, Mickey Mouse. However, it quickly dawned on me that this Disney snub was hardly the result of the fickleness of youth. Since his exposure to television is quite limited, my son only watches five shows in total. Of the five shows he watches, two of them had already been “favorites” leaving him with only 3 actual choices (so Mickey shouldn’t take it personally).

Credit Card Piggybacking
| |
| What is Credit Card Piggybacking? Credit card piggybacking is much like the childhood game of being carried around on someone else's back; but instead, you're “carried” on someone else's credit card account. Once you're added as either a joint card holder or an authorized user to a credit card account, the entire credit history typically appears on your credit report and included in your credit score. |
