Always Obey Your Mom

One of the questions on a bell work last week asked: What person has made a positive impact on your life, and what qualities did that person have that you would like to duplicate in your on life? Many of you answered that the person who had the most positive influence on you was your mother. Many of you went on to describe qualities such as unshakable love for you, kindness, giving, and caring.  Have you told her how much she has meant to you? If not, why not tell her today?

The 7 Habits

A paradigm shift. It happens when we start to see things from a new perspective. For example, when I was in sales, I used to approach customers with an attitude of "How can I sell this person something?" That's the approach that was taught to me by the company I worked for. Later, I cam across the book, Integrity Selling, whose author taught me that good salespeople approach their customers with this mindset: "How can I help this person?"

What a difference this made in my sales! From that point on, I started looking at things from the customer's point of view. I also started to take the attitude that I would only sell the customer items that helped him with whatever need or want he was trying to satisfy.

How about you? Ever have a paradigm shift? Did you ever think you understood someone and then find out later you were completely mistaken?

Truth,

Mr. Burd
