What’s within your control?
Jill Konrath, author of Selling to Big Companies, is a leading contributor in the eBook, “Keep Your Sales Up in a Down Economy.” Jill, as well as the other contributors, offer some great advice for how to gain the competitive edge during these unusual economic and market times.
Jill suggests that we focus on what’s in our control and not be overwhelmed by the front page news, the 24 hr. streaming news station, or the doom-and-gloom reports from our peers.
Today, in talking with Brian, a VP of Sales of a growing technology company, who suggested to his CEO that he stop attending his monthly peer round table. Brian noticed that whenever he returned from these events, he carried dark “eeyore” clouds with him. These clouds permeated the building, depressing the staff.
As a leader, your nonverbal behavior speaks loudly. It quickly permeates every corner of your company.
So, what CAN you control in your company?
I look forward to hearing from you.
