Problem

Have you got a problem? Do what you can where you are with what

you've got.Theodore Roosevelt

At the year end performance review:Victor’s manager asked him:“Give your evaluation about me as a manager?”

Victor raised this in our Services ExcellenceWorkshop where over 30 people attended.

Victor’s problem: He could not tell his manager: You suck!

He ended up saying nothing, even he wanted to say something!

LeverageI would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

John D. Rockefeller

I leveraged a real problem in a workshop where the Energy level was high and there was an audience.

Tactics

There is no sales tactic as powerful asPersonal Stories

Endurance"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

William Clement Stone

I keep talking, emailing & asking people to sign up
