Every manager should pay attention to this. Instead of saying “you’re doing it wrong” — we could say “here’s how to do it better.” This story is from 2018: A 13-year-old, Jaequan Faulkner, was running a hot dog stand, when someone called the cops because he didn’t have a permit. The city then helped the kid go legit — teaching him finance and marketing, and giving him a tent and a hand-washing station. He ended up selling hot dogs for years. Every day, we’re faced with a similar choice: A friend, colleague, or even stranger will stumble —?and we can either tell them they’re wrong, or help them do better. When we choose the latter, we’re better too. If this post was helpful, please share it and follow Jason Feifer for more. ??

Love this message... Instead of saying“you’re doing it wrong” — say “here’s how to do it better" and then equip them with the knowledge and resources needed to elevate their output. #servantleadership #leadership #putpeoplefirst #peoplefirst

Being a leader is more than just your title. This is how you approach your team.

Thursday….still cold. ?? The dogs have tried to spend as much time as possible on the couch…under blankets…because, ya know, big scary dogs can’t deal with the cold. Moving to Florida, I never really expected the kids to have a snow day…ever. This week, we’ve had 2. While the Jacksonville area didn’t get nearly as much as the panhandle or our neighbors just over the Georgia border, it was enough to keep the kids home…which is fine. Fun fact…the Florida DOT was somewhat prepared and has all 11 of the state’s snowplows in service. ???? The response from the state has been solid because they were prepared. Preparation is key in everything we do. When getting ready for a sales presentation, you research everything you can about your prospect…what they are looking for, the current product they are using, the consumer base, and how your product or service can meet their needs. You try to be ready for any questions that come up. The real challenge comes when a wrench gets thrown into the plans. Things you cannot prepare for will pop up. Tech challenges, weather delays, sick kids, reduced timelines, etc…we need to be able to think on our feet and adapt. Hope everyone has a productive Thursday and make it a great day, no matter the situation!! Oh and Dogs Of LinkedIn, the pups are asking if there’s an HR rep they can speak with. They’re very unhappy with management and the lack of blankets here. #sales #marketing #preparation #beprepared

Why we eat our own dog food... As you’ll hear from my business partner, Erik Jensen in this clip — when you and your agency walk the talk by implementing what you preach — you'll build your credibility with your audience, prospects, and clients. When you’re standing in front of your prospects and share how you can help — being able to confidently point to how you have implemented those exact same recommendations for the betterment of your agency is some of the best “selling” you can do. That’s why “eating our own dog food” has been — and always will be — part of our DNA here at Predictive.

Here’s the deal…for each one of us there’s probably 1,000 other people trying to do exactly what we’re trying to do, where we’re trying to do it, and how we’re doing it. Everybody, so they say, is “built different” these days. (If everybody’s saying it they’re just more of the same in my opinion). Everybody is top-notch and looking for top-notch help. Everybody uses the same buzz words in their marketing and sales pitches, offering the best products or services with the best equipment with the best personnel. Everybody cares, everybody’s dedicated, and everybody is the best in town. As individuals and as companies, what are we doing to separate ourselves? What can we do beyond the words? My dad always taught me that actions speak louder than words…I think that’s a good place to start. Y’all watch your step!

You Admit You Might Be a Dumb Company. How do you avoid the fork in the road that leads to the Graveyard? Part 2 Again, good for you! Admitting you might be a ???????? ?????????????? is the most important thing to do on the yellow brick road to enlightenment. Today, we’ll end with describing what you do when you identify, and admit to, one of the last five mistakes we chronicled in our re-introduction to our “???????? ??????????????” series and want to do something better. So instead of: * no more training * tightening the belt one notch per month * from 60 to 0 in marketing * real innovation being too risky * raising the drawbridge! ... click through to find out what you should do! https://lnkd.in/eqyayXDM ... or, you could give me an excuse to complete the "Wasted Co." rewrite;? ??I know that I will never be politically correct ??And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette ??As far as I'm concerned the world could still be flat ??That's representative of where your IQ's at! ??... with apologies to Steinman & MeatLoaf!
