Thought Tweet #761 How To Create A Real Scary Sales Monster...a recipe
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Really, I am not 100% sure how I did it.
I just know I did it.
Actually, I did it more than once in my career.
I somehow created some high-octane sales beasties that were real scary.
While I don't have the exact recipe I do know the key ingredients and the key process steps:
- Take 2 big egos - make sure one is your own and the other junior [junior, in the hierarchical sense or you will not be able to claim credit for the creation of the Sales Monster]
- Apply some loud volume.
- Blend the big egos together harshly with some lofty goals.
- Send the junior ego out to the field under very-tight time deadlines.
- Allow a free run for a few days.
- Voila - a Sales Monster.
[bon appetit]

Thought Tweet #760 “Don't ignore your gut feel. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't."
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Consider those situations when your prevailing thoughts are: "everything is too tough"...and..."everything shouldn’t be this tough”. Your gut feel is accurate. Your gut feel is telling you something needs to change. It is up to you to figure out what change is appropriate - then make that change.

Thought Tweet #759 I want to witness great business music... not just tooting of horns, let alone too much start-up cacophony.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
And, I have no intention of settling for less.
- That may mean some new musicians - we must know where to find some good ones.
- That will mean people need to stick to the score and song sheets.
- That will mean unwavering conductorship.
- And keeping up with the maestro.
- That will mean much practice.
- And some level of error will be acceptable...while repeated striking of bad notes and wrong chords will not be.
- That will be covered with discipline for all and from all.
Discipline for all and from all...top-quality musicians want to be part of a good band and they know discipline-packaging is fundamental to the generation of great music.
