One of the most basic tenets of selling is that you are going to have to figure out ways to stand out in a crowd. The bigger the group, the bigger the challenge and, speaking of large groups , how about the internet and social networks? Very crowded! You need to be … R.U.M. – Remarkable, Unique, Memorable. It’s not magic … . Where everybody practices bad behavior, you don’t.

No More Cold Calling

Plus, here’s what you might have missed from No More Cold Calling this summer. I’m embarrassed by the bad sales behavior that blasts us every day.

I recently took these pictures of mushrooms on our property that I had not seen prior to this year. Bright reds, bright oranges, whites and more.
