How did 2010 turn out for you? Did you earn as much as you had expected? Did you move your career forward as you had planned?

The Power of Impact; what is your plan for 2011. An interesting Thoreson theorem; the more you personally impact the lives of others, the more you succeed professionally. One of the points I make during my keynote program is the need for a person to find balance in their lives=both personally and professionally. When you find an individual that is working on improving others lives, you generally find a person that is also successful from a professional perspective.

There is a counter-intuitive relationship between lead volume and sales performance. With sales organizations facing lower numbers, it seems logical to turn to volume lead generation to fill their pipelines with more and more sales leads in hopes that some will turn into sales. After all, shouldn't more leads deliver more opportunities? In reality, just the opposite often turns out to be true.

Success in sales, as in all of life, starts by first developing and maintaining an expectant attitude of success. Simply put, all top performers expect that they are going to succeed, and because of this they consistently take the actions that lead them to achieve their goals and become successful. It is their mental attitudes that allow them to meet obstacles, set backs and temporary failures with a new resolve to keep trying, or to try something different, until they succeed.
