When I was in 1st grade my Dad took me on a Father and Son campout sponsored by our church. It was late spring at Lake Tahoe – cold, gray and drizzly. I spent a lot of time warming by the fire. We did take a spin on a speed boat but no one would let me drive. So when one of the dads broke out some boxing gloves and drew a ring in the sand, I was thinking this…

Every year about this time we begin to contemplate. What was our final score for 2012? How did we end up? Did we just SURVIVE or did we THRIVE?
For most of you, that reality was written months ago and on the 10th of January you’ll be reading the results you already suspect.
You may even be feeling some anticipation (much like a kid on Christmas morning).
For those of you who spent more time…

Here we are in 2013…every January 1st you expect to be able to feel the changing of the year in your bones, and every year it’s just another day. There’s nothing magical about the calendar, there is no ancient alchemy in the progression of time, it just moves and we move with it. If you want the day to have weight, that weight has to come from you. We’ve talked about making resolutions and sticking to them, and now is the time to put up or shut up. If you want to have a successful year…

I start to sound like a broken record whenever I recommend to businesses that they need to be as human as possible on social media, that the venue is one dominated by people, and that brands are most successful when they stay professional but avoid being robotic. I’ll continue to say it as long as it stays true, something that…

When you read the title to this article, did it make you wince? Did it make you a little angry? For most of you, you have already let your resolutions go to the wayside with empty promises. The good news is that you can achieve most, if not all, of your resolutions.
First of all, words are cheap. You must truly decide. You are who you decide to be at any given moment. When you truly decide to achieve something, you begin to walk, talk and act more like that person who…

I have repeatedly been told by sales personal that they do not need to mark there deals sold because the system automatically does it. I have also heard this is why some customers are not logged.
This is on premise a horrible idea that you are relying on technology alone to give you one of your best contacts you will have.

I recently had an experience at my store about a girl trying to buy a car. She came in to our store and had all the typical defensive walls up.

But little did we know, she had a plan and was prepared to "do battle" with us when it came time to discuss the…
