3 Hacks for More Sales

Vole. 4, Issue 1

HACK.

  1. a writer or journalist producing dull, unoriginal work. “a hack scriptwriter”
  2. a strategy or technique for managing one’s time or activities more efficiently. “there’s one easy hack to avoid the eight dollar popcorn trap: eat before you get to the theater”

But, today, the word hack has better currency and attracts a lot of interest. The definition has morphed into something positive.

Being a hack today means you’ve demonstrated cleverness and ingenuity; that you solved a meaningful problem in an unusual and unprecedented way.

Ask for Less and Get Less Done

Vol. 3, Issue 11

No, that’s not a typo in the headline.

In this post, I’m using a hometown business – TARGET – to illustrate one of the principles of The Asking Formula: WANT ONE THING.

If you, as a leader, can’t focus and choose, how will your team? As a sales or service professional who can’t prioritize, how will you get anything done? With your family, how do you make hard choices and be willing to say “no”? (Maybe that last example is easier.)

As the saying goes: If you chase two rabbits, both will get away.

Watch to see how Target, and you, can focus and be more successful.
