The importance of customer loyalty

Sales is an extremely competitive industry with customer loyalty being the end goal. That’s why it so important to treat each interaction with a current or potential customer as an investment in that relationship.

Doing Things Right or Doing the Right Things?

My son and I recently met Jerry Sanders, the founder of AMD – a computer chip manufacturer and one of the giants in the history of Silicon Valley. Jerry was telling us that people often confuse “doing things right” with “doing the right things.”  He said it was vital to “do the right things ” as doing the wrong things right ends in failure and burnout. Peter Drucker makes the same point in The Effective Executive.  So how do you […]

When the Game was Ours

One of the best books written by sports greats is When the Game was Ours by Larry Bird and Earvin Magic Johnson, with Jackie MacMullan. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson will always be linked as two competitors.  They are linked like Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier and Wilt Chamberlain versus Bill Russell.  They first competed against each other in the NCAA basketball championship, which has the highest ratings of viewers of any game in history.  They then competed against each […]

I’ve pulled some of my favorite quotes from the book to share with you: “Being a role model is the most […]

What we can learn from Artest – Goat to Hero

Last night, in Game 5 of the Lakers vs. Suns, Ron Artest made a heroic shot with no time on the clock to win the game.  I was fortunate to be at the game and see this exciting play in person. Before that shot, Artest was the goat.  He had a horrible game.  With about 57 seconds left on the clock he made a bad decision in taking a shot and was booed by the crowd.  Phil Jackson, the Lakers […]

Making Mistakes

Making mistakes is all part of doing business.  Just ask Louis B. Mayer and Frank Capra. Mayer, who built one of the greatest Hollywood studios ever – Metro-Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) – turned down Walt Disney when the young, struggling Walt came to him with an idea of making a movie about a mouse.  Mayer said women were afraid of mice, and that no one would ever pay money to see a film about them. Frank Capra, the legendary movie director […]
