Enjoy The Gift

Imagine the gift: life on Planet Earth. Friends, rock 'n roll, challenges, music, perfect jeans, lonely moments, books, sea-shores, art, museums, concerts, work, a simple gift from a friend/lover, the scribbles of your young kids, bicycles, cooking, electric storms over deserts, NY NY, emotional reunions, hanging out, skate-boarding, cold beer down at the docks, awesome teamwork. Love. Great movies. Tears. Long weekends. Don't miss a moment. Sleep so well that when you are awake, YOU ARE AWAKE. Don't let anyone control you: who you can see; who you can't see. What you can do; what you can't do. Grab every opportunity especially time with the amazing people who come your way. Watch more bird formations cross the sky. Notice the skyline: look up. Go and get the necessary qualifications then get off the treadmill. Enjoy life and make a contribution. Believe in possibilities and know you are worth more, can do more and are more than a security badge around your neck might indicate. S l o w down so that the gift can be appreciated. Every so often stop and ask the question: what's really, really important now? The answer will keep you on track, will keep you grounded and undoubtedly, occasionally scare you.

Hidden Sales Opportunities Seven

1. The customer who said no. Maybe their alternative choice wasn't the correct one after all.
2. Leads & Enquiries. Which haven't been properly followed up.
3. In the database. Started but not completed.
4. Asking everybody in the organisation for ideas. Especially those NOT in sales.
5. Noting what your competitors are NOT doing. And acting quickly.
6. Creating a premium product. For customers who want more.
7. Simply being proactive.
