We all know that
forging new relationships is integral to the
livlihood of a strong network base, but half the battle
is understanding what it takes to build and maintain
these connections.
Time, patience, and a long-term goal all play
important roles in building a considerable referral
network. Continue reading to learn Don McNamara's

Collective Names
|
One of the craziest
oddities of the English language is that there are
so many different collective nouns that all mean
"group" but which are specific to what particular
thing there is a group of: a herd of
elephants, a crowd of people, a
box of crayons, a pad of paper,
etc.
There is great
diversity of collective nouns associated with
animals, from a sleuth of bears to a
murder of crows. The following is a list
of the correct terms to describe groups of various
types of
animals. |

If Your Company Is So Unique...Why Is Your
Sales Force Automation Software Still
"One-Size-Fits-All"?
We often work with folks who tell us their company
is very unique, and in many cases they are right.
It's easy to recongize unique selling propositions,
unique service delivery and unique products, whether
their markets are unique or if their sales processes are
different from the norm.
And yet, when employing
their Sales Force Automation (SFA)/Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) software solution, companies generally
attempt the implementation literally right "out-of-the
box."

Time

Time is our most elusive resource!
Once gone it is beyond our ability to
recover. Therefore, it is imperative to get
the most out of it!
Easy to say, hard to
do! Few of us have working crystal balls
that can tell us how things will come out in
advance. So, we take risks with our time
and do things hoping there will be a positive
result.
With some effort, you can likely
calculate the probability of one appointment over another, and
you can use other decision factors to help choose which
alternate places will yield what kind of result.
Many people are very successful using tools combined
with intuition that result in some repeatable
returns.
Invariably, it always seems
that when you ask most successful people to highlight the
defining moment of that opportunity, they often relate a story
of serendipity!
Therefore,
if there are no high-quality, objective metrics to establish
choices in a conflict over your time, you must resort to
subjective tools. One of which is the "how
does it feel" tool.
Quite often our subconscious helps us
feel that one choice, despite logic, is the most
favored. I suspect that this choice is
based on criteria that we really haven't considered
objectively, but it is just as valid all the
same.
A very good
reason behind "going with your gut" is that you are most
likely to make the decision that feels the most
enjoyable. This will likely be the best
choice as you are presenting yourself to others in your most
open and straightforward manner. Your
projected demeanor will not only translate into a positive
first impression and reflect you at your best.
AND you will have a good time!

" . . .
people who keep dogs (or cats for that matter) live longer on
average than those who do not. This is not some kind
of pro-canine campaigning fantasy. It is a simple medical
fact that the calming influence of the company of a friendly
pet animal reduces blood pressure and therefore, the risk of
heart attack."
