Sales virtues…

In Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography, he lists 13 life virtues worth pursuing – several apply directly to those who drive revenue – each builds upon the previous…

  1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
  2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
  3. Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
  4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

Learn the remaining 9 virtues and get a printable reminder of all of them. (I love these.)

Too many people will lose today’s sales productivity "ramping up" from the holiday weekend (in the US). Don’t be one of them (and help others avoid the trap). Get all of today with a little LUKSA attitude?

Need time? Get up 15 minutes earlier each day and you’ll add more than 90 waking hours to your year (the equivalent of more than 2 work weeks). Imagine what you could do with that (professionally or personally).

Push it up 5 minutes more and grab another 30 hours.

That’s 212.

Too many people will lose today’s productivity in anticipation of the holiday weekend (in the US and Canada). Isn’t it time to start a little positive revolution… a little LUKSA?
