3 Ideas For Better Habits

1

The Simple Secret to Closing More Deals

Sales coach, Jeffrey Gitomer on the key to successful sales.

"It never ceases to amaze me that companies will spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars teaching people 'how to sell,' and not one minute or not $10 on ‘why they buy.’

And ‘why they buy’ is all that matters."

Your Intentions are Irrelevant

Business consultant, Jim Collins, on the reality of decision making.

"Bad decisions made with good intentions, are still bad decisions."

Memorizing Less Can Lead to Knowing More

Real Estate Expert and Best-Selling Author, John T. Reed, on the importance of identifying core principles in any field.

"When you first start to study a field, it seems like you have to memorize a zillion things. You don’t.

What you need is to identify the core principles – generally three to twelve of them – that govern the field. The million things you thought you had to memorize are simply various combinations of the core principles."
