Buyers Change their Ways - Sales People Must Keep Up
| |
| The trouble with change is that it sneaks up on you. It would be easier to deal with if it happened in a predictable manner, like a bus or train arriving at its final destination.

Productivity Over Activity
| |
| Like most people who work for a living, I begin my day at the office by reviewing my calendar and making a list of tasks that need to be done on that particular day. Some of these activities have a time associated with them such as a meeting, conference call, or speech I will be making at a certain point in the day.
