Don't contact prospects without doing your homework!
Submitted by Leonard Shostak on Tue, 05/03/2011 - 20:04In life we have many opportunities that are placed before us and we have to choose how to react to each of these opportunities. We make these decisions based on many facts. Sometimes we make the best decision and sometimes we make the worst decision; most of the time we fall right in the middle. Those that excel in our area of expertise, make the right/better decision more often than not. Sales professionals have numerous opportunities each and every day for new and repeat business and those that shine over time are those that make the better decisions.
On the road again.

Email troubles increase as we get more and more devices
Submitted by Leonard Shostak on Sun, 02/13/2011 - 23:03We now have more and more electronic devices in use, and we want all our information, in all the locations, all the time. This causes a dilemma, since most of the devices have different versions of each program, with different features, and they not only change from device to device but from version of device to version of device -- you get the picture -- big mess. Data gets lost, and sometimes data gets duplicated, and we don't know why or how this stuff is supposed to "work".

Watch for the game at other retail outlets soon—our rep is now speaking to Barnes & Noble among others; his distributor wants the game for big dot-com customers (e.g., Wal-Mart) so things might get interesting in a mass kind of way.
