Fool your Attitude

Altitude is a function of attitude, not aptitude! Here is the proof, again

I know you have heard it before. So have I and yet I still need to be reminded from time to time. Art has a story for us that does the trick. More here.

Art has just published his new book, 'Smart Calling'. See the details together with a link to the launch offer at the end of his article.

Pump up your Sales Team for a Lift in Results

Three more classic team building, leadership, and communication skills exercises to complement the four posted here last month.

The Great Egg Drop
Gutter Ball
Survival Depends on it

None of these exercises need special equipment. You can probably lay your hands on everything you need without spending any money.

Set up and facilitation is easy. Full instructions are provided on the pages linked above.

We will add new resources on this site each month.

Leadership! Sales people must be prepared to lead. To step out with an unshakable certainty.

Leaders lead with the consent of their followers. Leading others where they want to go, is a vital service.

Leadership is something practiced in a moment of other people's need. Some people are called on to lead more than others because they are willing.

Leading comes with inherent risk, uncertainty, and anguish. Leaders are exposed. Together with potential for fortuitous glory comes the equal chance of accidental blame.

Sales people must lead, or merely offer alternatives and stand by while others put their reputations in peril.
