….And another year wiser! Here is what I discovered during my 42nd year:
- The more value you deliver the more people want to be associated with you.
- Doing more work, adding more stuff, saying more, is not always what is needed. Sometimes a simple “you are right” is the best advice.
- Your clients benefit most when you deliver results quickly.
- People are interested in you if you are interesting. Go places. Do things. Read. Participate fully in the opportunities around you.
- The economy is what you make it. In every market there are people succeeding where others are failing. Look for the successful avatars around you.
- You must treat yourself well and with respect if you want your customers to treat you well and with respect.
- You don’t have to sell to everyone.
- People need accountability. Coach for success.
- You achieve more by building on strengths not by correcting weakness.
- Buyers want to work with highly successful thought leaders. Not sales people.
- The key to fully leveraging your current clients is by developing Corporate Rapport.
- You only need an Account Management program for those accounts you wish to keep.
- You get what you expect.
Can’t wait to see what 43 brings.
All the best to you this year,
Colleen
