We’ve all had some great ideas about our businesses. We read articles, we study treads and stay up to date on the latest trade information, but sometimes we seem to be treading water. We all know what we think a great business is, the question is how do we get our business to be that one? We have a great customer experience and wonder; “How to I translate that to my place?”
I’ll give you the first…

Here’s a question for you.
Which brings more value to your business, Quantity or Quality?

For example, when it comes to my gadgets I want them to work, plain and simple. I want quality and I’ll do with fewer gadgets to get better ones.
But when it comes to, say, coffee…

Following in the footsteps of three generations of outstanding educators, I took on the career of a high school teacher in my early twenties. Being the new kid on the block, I was given two classes out of five that were "at risk" students. High school students don't usually relish in the idea of math class and most "at risk" kids seem to see math as a total…

I am proud to be a salesman, because more than any other man, I and millions of others like me, built America.
The man who builds a better mouse trap – or a better anything – would starve to death if he waited for people to beat a pathway to his door. Regardless of how good or how needed the product or service might be, it has to be sold.
Eli Whitney was laughed at when he showed his…

We have worked with thousands of dealerships all over the world at Proactive dealer solutions. More and more dealerships tell us that the market has changed and that customers are more informed than ever. We agree customers have more access to information then they ever have.
The problem is that having access to information about cars does not mean customers know how to buy cars. Customers have information, but all that means is that they need a more informed salesperson or dealership…

Over the years, I've had the privilege of spending time with some of the best speakers, trainers, and mentors on this planet. Many of you know that I count Jim Zieglar as a friend.

Through it all, it's always been fun and educational.
I've been able to spend quality time with Mr. Les Brown and listen to his advice as I was…
