At its core, positive Influence is about inspiring people to take positive actions...where 'positive actions' means mean actions directed toward desired long-term goals.

Inspiring People and Influencing them to take positive Actions toward desired & shared Goals...toward a shared & vivid Vision.

Here’s Ernest Seller getting ready for work.
 
As you can see, Ernest is a handsome fellow, with a flair for excellent-looking sales apparel. When it comes to sales, Ernest’s favourite colour is plaid.

Ernest Seller - Mr. Kaye
This is Mr. Kaye. He is Ernest’s #1 Client.
 
These 2 fellows have a great relationship. Mr. Kaye really looks forward to Ernest’s visits. The visits give Mr. Kaye a chance to hone his buying skills.
When they first met, Ernest asked Mr. Kaye how he liked his coffee.
 
Mr. Kaye replied, “Alone”.
 
[Mr. Kaye always has his mug ready for Ernest.]
