Challenge Your Disbelief in New Possibilities to Break Through to Exponential Improvements

Western Union reportedly turned him down cold, perceiving the telephone as an electrical toy with a limited future. Bell himself initially saw the telephone as limited to use as a substitute for town criers. Householders wondered, "Why get a telephone when I can step outside and talk to my neighbor over the back fence?" The airplane, radio, computers, and t

Experiences of an Accidental Judge
There is a story that, years ago a person high up in the U.S. Patent Office resigned. The reason stated was that “everything worth inventing had been invented.” That certainly was not the case as evidenced by my recent experience.I was invited to visit the Chicago “Casting Call” for “Everyday Edisions, ™” a TV show that airs on PBS stations. The format is similar to the popular “Antiques Roadshow” except it showcases inventors and their inventions. When I arrived at the WTTW studio at the advertised starting time of the event there was a line of inventors extending around the building as three or four times the expected number of inventors showed up – the queue had started forming just after midnight! I met Louis Foreman, the force behind the show and volunteered to help out in any

Who Is to Blame for Job Dissatisfaction?
Many of the stereotypes of companies are true. Companies often hire inexperienced workers for low pay, don’t train them and then wonder why they get poor performance.Companies don’t sufficiently include their employees in the creative idea process or give attention to individual input. They continue to enforce higher production requirements with tighter deadlines – in effect, expecting a “worker bee style” from its employees to keep up with competitive needs.

Assuming Anything In Sales Is To Invite Failure
One of the biggest mistakes many salespeople make is to assume. To believe that something is true without any verification, validation or evidence. In the area of the spiritual this is accepted practice and can be a healthy way to go through your life. In your sales career it can be the kiss of death. Assumptions are lethal. They give you confidence without any proof. They can set you up for disappointment, failure and at the worst breakdowns in communication.I have heard the following more times than I can remember.I assumed,- that I was talking with the decision maker. - they meant it when they said they would call me back. - they understood the benefits of our product/service. - they didn’t have a problem with our price.YadadadaThere i
