Getting back to the sales basics
I don't know about you but recently I have found myself getting more and more distracted by the latest trend and fads, especially the social media phenomena. My reason for this is that I have been trying to get my head around social media and specifically, the impact on the sales profession.

Trade Shows Versus “Afraid” Shows
What is your level of participation in your industry’s trade shows?

Increase Sales by Giving Them What They Want
Customers are looking for very specific solutions to their problems and if you can provide it you’ll struggle less, save on marketing expense and sell more.

The Power of Your Heart
"In the stress and complexity of our lives, we may forget our deepest intentions. But when people come to the end of their life and look back, the questions that they most often ask are not usually 'How much is in my bank account?' or 'How many books did I write?' or 'What did I build?' or the like. If you have the privilege of being with a person who is aware of the time of his or her death, you find the questions such a person asks are very simple: 'Did I love well?', 'Did I live fully?', 'Did I learn to let go?'"
