Think of this as your GPS Mirror for Sales.
(Global Positioning System. Gain Pain Scale.)
It’s a Magic Mirror because it lets you see how we
(your customers/vendors/partners)… see you.
It’s not about the Soap.
Disney delivers your toys to your hotel room while you ride the rides.
American Airlines gives GPS on your phone to the airport on day of travel.
Fine hotels take the soap out of the wrapper for you.

12:20 pm I opened it and read it
12:21 pm I called with the intent to buy
12:22 pm they lost the deal.
I really wanted them to make this sale.
I was pulling for them.
After 10 days on the road I am home
getting my mail for the first time…
Three flights and 14 hours of driving in 10 days:
Detroit, keynoting a Vistage Marketing Event…
Texas, kicking off a year-long sales optimization program with 150 reps of a client’s Customer Engagement Center

But as soon as I opened the letter…

BEST PRACTICES that I share with my audiences in my Training Events.
I’ve been talking about these best practices, and the science behind them, for 25 years.
I got excited.
Show Them Others. (“You’re not Alone.”)

Today’s Command: “March Forth.”
Today’s date always inspires me
“March 4th” as in “March Forth, Ever Onward...”
I tend to read it as a Command…
And I usually need it right about now, at the mean end of Winter.
(I don’t know about you, but this Winter kicked my butt…)
A reminder that we can “get through this crap”
