Thoughts

If we truly embraced the notion that our thoughts produce tangible effects in our lives, wouldn’t we strive to never let one thought slip by us that we didn’t want to experience? And wouldn’t we focus our attention on what we want, instead of continually obsessing about our problems?

It is the lack of patience from them in the Win - Win frame of mind and their turn to the Win For Me frame of mind. 

How not to lose time while selling.



One of the biggest issues in b2b sales is the difficulty in finding the person responsible for making a buying decision. Especially in b2b sales that are done door 2 door you end up with stacks of cards and contact information that, if you don't know how to process, leave you with little or no result. But that is not the only way you may be losing time while selling. Let's see some other ways and their solutions too!
