'The obvious gut reaction answer is …both. However, if you HAD to choose, it would be a dilemma similar to the age old “Which came first - the chicken or the egg?” And, you know, I have never been able to answer that question. I honestly don’t know that there is a RIGHT answer to the question I’ve posed today, but if you held a gun to my head and demanded an answer – not that you would have to go to that extreme to get an answer from me – I would have to say start with the behaviors.

When’s the last time you created a new process that helped you do your job better?

As a matter of fact, come this next Monday, I was born there 60 years ago at 7:14am on a Wednesday morning at the Esposito Home (A small, privately-run hospital).

'My dad used to tell me, “Anthony, sometimes you have to pick up the dirty end of the stick.” Well, actually, my dad’s quote was “Sometimes you have to pick up the shi**y end of the stick.” For the life of me, I had no idea what he was talking about then…and I still didn’t know what he meant until many years later. Why would I ever want to pick up the shi**y end of the stick when there was a perfectly clean end to grab?

'Occasionally, maybe 3 or 4 times since I started blogging, I write about something that is bigger than managing sales people, sales growth, sales coaching or selling. Something happens that is meaningful to me and I feel compelled to write about it. Maybe it’s my way of dealing with the event. Often, the event is when someone in my life (or our lives) is lost.

'You may not like it. It may not seem fair at times, but at the end of the day, production is the name of the game. Production is what we bring to the table, it’s our contribution to the business pot-luck. Production is our input, it’s our way of adding to the bigger picture, it’s our way of making a difference. But when we stop producing, not only are we not adding to the pie, we’re taking away.

'The title of this post is a double entendre. Dang, my s**t is good. 1) The first part of the double entendre “Hey look at me.” I’m on Social Sales Hour #sshour with @rachelloumiller and Brian Fanzo ( @isocialfanz ) we’re breaking down personal branding and why it’s important. 2) And the other half of the double entendre, “hey look at me” is regarding personal brand and the importance of standing out.

The next time you meet a buyer for the first time, you’re only goal should be to get the buyer to say, Man that person was impressive, they could make a serious impact on my organization.
