Natural Sleep Aid

I was in a meeting the other day where my goal was to stay awake!  You see, the leaders of the meeting were determined to use lingo and obtuse language.  One such phrase was "utilized methodology." 

Now I bring my sleepy problem to you to ask you if you are using words that may be off-putting to the very people you want to connect with.  Think about recent conversations with prospects.  Did their eyes glaze over because of the stilted conversation.  And I use that term loosely, because when industry specific words are being used, it is not really a conversation but more a monologue.

Did you utilize methodology to determine the necessities of your prospect.....

OR

Did you ask a few questions to find out how you can help to solve your prospect's needs?

A Team Approach

I hate cleaning the refrigerator. But ever so often I just can't stand it another minute.

The need to clean is combined with the fact that our expensive Sub-Zero refrigerator, gets an ice dam in the bottom of it. Yes, it is 15 years old, but this has been an on-going problem right from the start. We never know that the ice-age is creeping in there unless melt water, that should be going down the frozen drain hole, suddenly is puddled in front of the refrig on the kitchen floor.

That's what happened this morning.

Doing both jobs is even more hateful. Using the hair dryer to melt the ice is a messy, time-consuming task.

So Steve and I teamed for this project. He took care of the glacier melt, and I cleared the science projects from the interior and then washed the shelves.

It didn't seem to take half the time it usually does. Working together made it bearable.

It's sort of an example of what two people can do when they work on prospecting together. Combining the effort makes more happen in a shorter time. Two people can thaw a chilly target more easily than each working separately.

Why don't we all do more of that????
