Success Secrets
During my browsing today I came across a great blurb on the Entrepreneur website. The following comes from the listing of the Top 100 Fastest Growing companies. It is the success secret for Promoworks LLC a marketing company in Schaumburg, IL.
"Follow your passion, and then take the lead. Stay focused, stay humble, and have fun. Realize companies don't succeed, people do. Make sure everyone shares in the victories."
I just thought it was something worth posting here to my readers. I particularly liked the "realized companies don't succeed, people do:" Its something that we sometimes forget in our passion to be successful.
Walmart, the biggest retailer in the US, is touted for its awesome distribution system,locations and price negotiating strategy. What analysts forget is that all of these were the result of the hard work of some amazing people. Its the people stupid.
Today, I think you should take a few moments to recognize and thank the people who work on your sales team. Thank them for making your job easier. Thank them for making your company successful. I do it frequently with my teams and I can tell you that a simple email or phone call will result in better moral, increased loyalty to you and a boost in productivity.
