http://innovativeleadership.blogspot.com/2007/09/whats-purpose-of-this-call.html
Wednesday, September 5, 2007. What’s the Purpose of this Call? How many calls does it take for your reps to close a sale? Most reps will tell you “it depends” – on the market, the individual customer, the competition, and any other number of variables. But that’s the wrong answer. If your reps don’t know exactly how many calls it should take them to close a sale, and what the objective of each of those calls is, they’re just fumbling their way through the sale. 8221; You’ll find out specifically wh...

Innovative Leadership: Feeling Down? Volunteer!
http://innovativeleadership.blogspot.com/2007/09/feeling-down-volunteer.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2007. I'm sure you're familiar with the old saying that "it is better to give than to receive." This sounds good, but it actually turns out to be true. By giving – of your time, help, or money – you can improve your own happiness level and even your health. As a matter of fact, giving can be even better for the giver than the receiver.

Monday, March 19, 2007. Lead with Positive Energy! Are you getting your daily requirements? Just like those recommended vitamin quotas for physical health, you could say that there are also "requirements" for our emotional health every day.

Thursday, September 6, 2007. When was the last time you had one of those "light bulb" moments? You know, like a cartoon character that suddenly gets a brilliant idea and a light bulb appears over his head. Or like the famous legend about the ancient Greek Archimedes. He got so excited that he shouted "Eureka! 8211; which means "I have found it! So how can you encourage these sparks of insight? The most important thing seems to be not to think about it! Using the left-brain logic sometimes just doesn't he...
