Let’s review the Four Questions: What is working in our lives/business, and how can we do more of it? *By “work,” I mean giving you a great ROI for the amount of time you spend.

Welcome gang! We are in the 3rd part of the 4 part series of 4 questions you should ask yourself to make 2016 your best year yet. So far we have asked ourselves: What’s working and how do I do more of it? What’s not working and how do I get rid of it, or make it work?

Welcome! Today is Part 2 in a series that will run through mid-December. We are discussing the Four Questions to ask ourselves personally and professionally to prepare ourselves for a successful 2016. Last week’s question was: What is working right now and how do we do more of it? Today’s question is my favorite one, and it has provided more value to me than any other: What is not working, and how do I get rid of it (or make it work)? What does it mean for something NOT to be working? It may have value, but you may not be getting a great ROI from it. Jim shares three...

info_outlineWelcome! As we look toward the end of the year, we will be going through a series of questions over the next few weeks. These questions have been pivotal in our family to help plan for beginning a new year.
These questions can be answered personally, professionally, and collectively—in a family or as part of a company. Each question should be addressed in each category.
Question #1: What is working RIGHT NOW, and how do I do more of that?
This question helps me think about things that are going well, like securing new clients, managing existing clients, selling a specific product, executing the process, value-based selling, or being intentional about growing. You have to know WHY it works.
Remember, as we’ve discussed before, there are three kinds of salespeople:
- UI—the unconscious incompetent
- UC—the unconscious competent
- CC—the conscious competent
The goal is to be in the third group, to be good at what you do, and know why you are good at what you do.
Your homework assignment? Ask yourself the question and assess it personally, professionally, and collectively. I hope it will yield great results for you as you look to end 2015 and begin 2016 in just a few short weeks.
Listener Question of the Week: We want to move to a new CRM right after the first of the year. What are your recommendations?
Quote of the Week: The best way to sell something? Don’t sell anything. Earn the awareness, respect, and trust of those who might buy. ----Rand Fishkin
