25.01.2022 It is not the strongest of the species that survive, not the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Charles Darwin The theory of evolution can explain so much, and this scientific theory can also teach us a thing or two about planning. We are living in a time when the COVID-19 crisis hit and derailed many of our plans for 2020. The successful businesses are the ones that quickly adapted to change and pivoted to survive and grow. Charles Darwin is not re...ally talking about planning in the real sense, but is making an important point: flexibility is critical in any plan. #StrategicPlanning

23.01.2022 No matter what day of the month it is, you should always be prospecting. If your sales pipeline is full, you will not have to resort to ineffective sales tactics like discounting, etc. Look for prospects everyday, call and/or email them. You need to be consistent and it is a good sales practice to block time on the calendar for prospecting, and stick with it, no matter what. #TABBoards #Sales
