Quotes of the Day

In addressing personal performance, if there is a problem you are first seeking her agreement that an actual problem exists. Next, ask how she sees the problem and then honestly share your perspective. Depending on the situation, you may need to discuss the consequences for her if there is no change in the situation. A big part of the process is discussing alternate solutions. "How are we going to solve this problem?" Keep an open mind, but the point of the discussion is to arrive at mutually agreeable course of action. This needs to be specific and should spell out expectations, responsibilities, and time lines. Again, write it down. [2004] - Gary Keller

The Components of a Sales Letter: 1. It must get the reader's attention with a powerful headline (tell him how he can gain, save, profit, achieve, or accomplish something through your product or service). 2. The letter must show clear and distinct advantages in the body copy. 3. The letter has to prove or validate your claim of benefits or advantages through factual examples--comparisons, analysis, testimonials, or credentials. 4. The letter must persuade the reader to reach out and seize the advantage you promise. 5. The letter must motivate the reader to act, respond, order, write, come in, or send back the coupon. [2000] - Jay Abramham

You can tell whether a food is rich in antioxidants by slicing it open, exposing it to air (oxygen), and then seeing what happens. If it turns brown, it's oxidizing. Think about our two most popular fruits: apples and bananas. They turn brown quickly, which means there aren't a lot of antioxidants inside them. (Most of the antioxidants in apples are in the peels.) Cut open a mango and what happens? Nothing happens, because there are lots of antioxidants in there. The food category that averages the most antioxidants is herbs and spices. High-antioxidant fruits and vegetables, such as berries and greens, have been found to douse systemic inflammation significantly better than the same number of servings of more common low-antioxidant fruits and veggies, such as bananas and lettuce. [2015] - Michael Greger

When the prospect agrees to meet with you at a specific time, you have made your fist sale, the sale that makes the real sale possible. You then confirm by repeating the time, day, and date of the meeting, plus you give the prospect your telephone number in case something comes up. [2004] - Brian Tracy
