'Deals get stuck for one reason and one reason only. Someone doesn’t believe what your selling is worth the effort, time or money at the moment. Deals get stuck because they lack urgency. Yes, your product or service solves a problem. It may make your customer’s world easier. It may help them launch a new product, reduce profits, minimize waste or whatever, but regardless of all that the buyer or someone else just doesn’t think that’s enough.

'Last week I bought a new dining set for my home in the mountains. Because I’m not there often, I didn’t schedule a delivery date. I wasn’t sure when I was going to be up there to take delivery. The salesman told me that wasn’t a problem and to just call at least two days in advance to schedule the delivery. Well, I’m going this weekend, so I called them on Wed.

'We have been given a gift today. We’ve been given a free hour, an hour we can do anything we want. In a society where we are all squeezed for time, struggling to make due with the minutes we have, today is the ultimate gift, it’s a 25 hour day. You have an extra 60 minutes today, one whole hour. What are you going to do with it? You can sleep an extra hour like most do or you could be deliberate in using it.

'Marissa Mayer impressed the f**k out of me at Dreamforce today. She was the afternoon keynote. It was called a keynote, but it was more of an interview with Marc Benioff, Salesforce.com’s CEO. I would have preferred Benioff sat on the sidelines for this one and let Marissa control the stage. Inspite of the format, Marissa nailed it, “it” being leadership and running a company.

'Your existing customer base is gold, right? We’ve all heard it before, the cost of acquiring a new customer far out weighs keeping an existing one. This is even more true in the SaaS world. More and more companies are rolling out SaaS business models. It just makes sense. Why? Companies don’t want to manage expensive hardware infrastructures, deal with complicated software rollouts, upgrades and more.

'I loved this short but quick hitting video. Most content surrounding success today addresses what happens when you get there. There is little info about what happens when success is actually achieved. I think that’s because so few of us reach the success we want. The less successful is a bigger market. Smaller market or not, once we achieve the success we’re looking for staying there takes just as much work.
