“Win the day by noon”. I love that expression and I’ve found great happiness in trying to implement it. There’s something really great about having lunch and knowing the day is already a good one. It certainly does not happen every day, but it’s a great goal to strive for. I take my exercise primarily in the form of running. I’ve found the only way I can consistently run is to do it first thing in the morning.

By Tibor Shanto. Leading from the front is not always easy, especially in times of turmoil. One way to get your people to follow is to present a state they want to emulate. In turmoil, that state would be calm. Being the calm in the storm allows you to get people’s attention and mind share. The same is true for sellers and prospects. If we are calm, we seem safer, we can deliver different ideas.

Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

Imagine you’re a manufacturer whose sales approach has been to compete on price, and that’s worked well for you. Then, due to a change in economic conditions, a critical raw material you can’t substitute for has skyrocketed in price. Correspondingly, you have to raise your own prices and inform your customers of that change and why. Unfortunately, you’ve just lost your competitive advantage.

A dried-up sales pipeline is an unpleasant sight that most sales reps dread. Several sales managers and reps are aware of the buzzword “sales pipeline”. However, most of them do not pay attention to it and manage it effectively. Sadly without a healthy pipeline achieving sales goals becomes a more challenging task. It is easy to panic about dropping numbers, but very few sales professionals put in efforts to understand and manage the sales pipeline effectively.
