Explain a priority
by giving context, rationale on why it's important looking at the big picture
and timelines for completion. Check for understanding by asking them to
summarize the priority item to ensure that you are both on the same page. Ask
for regular progress updates.

Authors who share
stories that open your eyes, enhance your skills and transfer insights are some
of the best mentors. Books have the power to change your life, your way of
thinking and get you excited about putting skills into practice. Read, take

The bottom line is
how many hot leads are generated from the show. There also is the number of
people who took the time to let you know how your product made a significant
impact on them. The organizations who are super excited about using your
product. And, the people who provided feedback based on their experiences.
These interactions are priceless and validate why you are doing what you are
doing every day - they are inspiration.

may feel as though they are closed for good at the time. However, there are too

being unhappy with the product or employee that they originally decided on, a
change of heart and the list goes on and on. Sometimes all it takes is a phone
call to reopen a door.

Try
