When a new president of a company takes over a company or when a new sales manager takes over a sales team, you can imagine what happens, right?

Those people, inherited by the new leader, chose to stay based on the previous leadership and characteristics of that leadership. ( HBR book on leadership ).

If you’re a salesperson, take a look at all the opportunities in your CRM. If you’re a sales manager, or the CRO, or even CEO, go look at the opportunities your sales people have put in the CRM.

Super Bowl LI was something special to watch - unless you are a Falcons fan and then it was a disaster. You could see it happen right before your eyes. The Patriots struggled in the first quarter while the Falcons had complete control of every aspect of the game. And then… it happened.

I have a friend who is contemplating starting her own business. It’s a good business. She has some good contacts in the industry. She has a good lead engine already established. Her overhead will be low in the beginning if she does it right. If she’s smart and leverages her contacts, there is no reason she can’t grow this business with nominal risk, and without putting herself too far out there.

Packaging has a profound impact on how we relate to particular products. In a consumer taste test for 7-Up, participants reported tasting more lemon flavor when they drank the soda out of cans with 15% more yellow coloring in the package design. The colors, textures, fonts, and compositions on the products we buy can really change how we feel, taste, and experience a brand.

What makes a good story? Is it the happy ending? Maybe it's the valuable lessons, or the hilarious, unexpected plot twists. But what makes a story just that -- a shareable, captivating narrative -- is the experience it describes. It's the who, what, where, when, and how. It's the tale of what happened. As marketers, we love good stories. We seek to tell them through the messages and content we put out there.

One of the most important things we can do in life is continue to learn and educate ourselves. It improves our skill sets, our worldview, and even who we are as people. It seems like a no brainer to make continued growth a focus in our lives, but too often, when we enter the professional world we switch from learning mode to performance mode. We lose focus on growth, and this lack of growth leaves us stagnant.
