I am a lucky girl

I am lucky because I have a family and friends who care for me. I have a career and a power to negotiate. I have a motivation to be better in life.

I just need a little motivation to have a good health and have a good eating habit.

You need to measure more than the score. In sales, the score is your monthly or quarterly billing. It's what you sold. But why you sold is just as important.

Unless you measure your advancing ratios, you'll never know what's working and what part of your sales process needs work.

Seeing the production process, the people and the equipment in person adds value to the sale and cements relationships with customers. Ideas turn a commodity into an engineered solution. However, ideas take more time and investigation. Having rep firms investigate needs and fact-find instead of waiting for the buy to come down is a proactive approach everyone can learn from.

Getting your clients to tour your facility gives them a connection with your business instead of simply buying a product from you.

"There is no such thing as a commodity," wrote Theodore Levitt, in his book The Marketing Imagination. Your job is to find ways to differentiate your product and yourself from the competition. A tour of your facility is one way to show the uniqueness of what you do.
