Copycat! Copycat!

You can probably remember as a kid hearing one of your friends yell out “Copycat! Copycat!”. At that time it was just annoying when someone did what you were doing. You were probably trying to be original.

Now we try to be so very original that we don’t always see the value of imitation. Don’t mimick someone to the point that they notice, but do realize that if you model your mannerisms and actions after them you will subconsciously make them like you.

People like others who are similar to them. Pay attention and learn to observe what your prospect is . . . → Read More: Copycat! Copycat!

Customer Experience

In business there are many critical areas to be focused on. I feel the customer’s experience with your company is definitely one of the most important parts of running a successful business and deserves constant attention. I was thinking about this today and I had three very different “customer experience” experiences. Each one gave me a very clear feeling at the end of a short time and it reminded me of how important the customer’s experience is when interacting with any business. . . . → Read More: Customer Experience

Your Pitch Tool

One of my good friends, Lane Campbell, was kind enough to put in writing what I often preach to my new sales reps.  He emailed this out to our team and I one morning so decided to leave it exactly as he wrote it so you could read it in his own words.  I hope you enjoy this bit of truth and learn from it.  When I was able to read for myself what I often say it even helped me become a little stronger of a salesman.
