Take Action

Take Action is now the mantra of several companies in the US and abroad. This is when you really need to kick your activities into the next gear, work more diligently than you may have recently and go on the “Year-end Mission” -

2009 is over in just 6 weeks. Are you doing all you can with all you have available? Can you work smarter, be more visible, share your creativity to help your clients succeed before the year end? Brainstorm with other successful people like yourself. Challenge each other to make something great happen within the next 6 weeks.

Busy time of the year!

I know it’s been a few weeks since I updated my blog - but it’s “crunchtime.” Sales managers and reps want ideas on how to finish strong in 2009 so that the momentum builds into 2010. By the way, you probably realize that 2010 is just over 60 days away - right? Yes, it’s crunchtime!

What goals do you have for the next 8 weeks? What did you want to accomplish that you have not yet? Who can help you reach your goals?

The most popular questions I am getting in my coaching and speaking business revolve around how to be more proactive, the most profitable “High Return Activities,” how to stay positive with clients and Focused on today and the future. A lot of people are dealing with more transitions, mergers, changing roles and challenges they have not faced in years. So, there is a lot of fear out there right now.

These challenges can be met - if you put some thought into it and don’t seclude yourself into a vacuum chamber. Brainstorm with other leaders, who have experience and vision. Do NOT get involved with the complainers and pessimists. They’ll suck any energy and hope you have - if you get in their grasps.

Why some salespeople are having a great year!

I just spoke with a great friend of mine who called to check in with me. We talked about business, the economy, life in general and then made our golf plans for the weekend of course. When I asked my friend how business was, he told me that he was having one of his best years in the last 5. I don’t hear that a lot these days, so my curious mind asked for more details.

What was working so well I asked him. He told me three specific things he’s doing, while others moan and groan about the economy. 1. He’s constantly in contact with his clients, via phone call, face to face meetings, emails and even a daily inspirational message of the day (email). He’s doing this to show his clients that he is here, ready to help with whatever they need. He’s not hiding! more….

Vicki Wood Against All Odds

What a great week! I visited my grandmother at an event at Daytona Beach, Florida. It was a reunion of drivers and their race cars from the 1950s and 1960s. Grandma Vicki was a racer during those years, inspiring others to go after their goals as she raced against men! She did have quite a lead (heavy) foot, which explains my need for speed! She still holds speed records on the beach course. 150 mph! That’s amazing!
