It never ceases to amaze me how foolish people can be. I’ve been involved in a group in my home town called The Business Fellowship for some time now and we had a really great speaker scheduled for this last meeting, so I decided to invite a few friends; three in fact. One immediately said [...]

Recently on Jim Sharp, I wrote an article on filling your Sales Pipeline. In the book I’m reading right now, Meatball Sundae, Seth Godin wrote a short section that fits well with this theme. (Click here to go to my Squidoo Len and see the book) This is what he wrote: “Every business has its [...]
During an Interview

I had a friend of mine ask if she could interview me for a class project she was working on. They needed to assess a small business that uses 3 computers or less and they would come back with some recommendations for software that may be helpful to the business. She thought that On The [...]

One of the best ways to get known is to get published. Jeffrey Gitomer touches on this point often. His column, Sales Moves, is published in a number of Trade Journals around the country.

It’s tempting to avoid face-to-face meetings for some, but they are still the best way to build relationships. While you’ve heard me say that it’s important to learn how to network online, especially for Owls, you can’t just fill out the information in LinkedIn and expect people to flock to you with their friendship and [...]

Hey you! Hoo? You! Hoo? YOU! Me? YES YOU! Are you an Owl? When I think of Owls, I think of intelligence. I also think of seclusion. Owls aren’t the most social creatures, are they? They keep to themselves, hunt mostly at night and blend in to their surroundings. Some networkers are like this! Owl [...]

Seals were one of my favorites animals when I was a kid! I loved watching them swim like a bullet through the water and then leap effortlessly onto one of the rocks in their pool. When I think of the Seals I watched as a kid, I think of grace. But when you see them [...]
