How many of you attend any business networking events on a regular basis? If you do not or if you have never attended any business networking events it may be because they seem overwhelming. Really they are not and networking in this way is a very inexpensive way of marketing yourself and your company.

They are easy to follow and you will notice that a lot of it is just plain common sense when comes to meeting new people.

The 2008 Olympics are in full swing. Whenever I watch the Olympics I am awed by the incredible discipline it takes to even compete in the Olympics, let alone be a champion.
Recently, a friend of mine (who is truly a Sales Champion), started comparing being an expert in sales, to be being an Olympic Athlete in Sales. It is true that when we are in Sales we are continually disciplining and training ourselves to be the best. We are always out facing the competition. That's our job and that is part of what drives us -- to achieve and perform our best in every sales situation that we can!
Take a moment to stop by and read my latest article about the seven steps of how to become an Olympic Sales Champion and inspire yourself to be a greater sales person that what you are!
