One of the main reasons leadership is challenging is because you are managing a fast-moving conveyor belt of decisions. One decision after another is rolling off the conveyor belt: Should I remove this non-performer even though I have two other open positions? Do I shift the compensation plan to get the team focused on the right behaviors, knowing it could disrupt the culture and distract top performers?

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs.

If you’re very, very lucky, you may sell a product or service that is completely unique, without any serious competitor in sight. And because your offering is one-of-a-kind, you never feel any pressure from buyers to lower your price. But most likely, you do have competitors, maybe a lot of them, and your customers do sometimes try to beat you down on price.
