Answer Upon - Have You Ever Lost a Sale to a Mosquito?
Your resume is the first impression that an employer has of you. At the most basic level, a resume is simply a description of the skills, experience, education, and professional achievements that make you qualified for a position. A good resume will accurately inform an employer about your background. A great resume, however, can do much more. A great resume has the ability to persuade an employer that you have the unique talent and experience desired and tha
It made me wonder what would drive such a small creature that doesn’t even have a brain, to stop at nothing until it reached its goal. I did a bit of research and discovered that only female mosquitoes have the ability to suck blood. And they actually do it t
The agenda is simple and straight, can we define time tracking? Here we are not talking about time tracking of a athlete, we are not talking about the time tracking of a swimmer. We are going into a very different domain, falling into the working hours of an employee. Earlier we read a lot about the intellectual definition from many places very well written by industry experts, here lets discuss about what you think an employee time tracking is. Some
I am sure you’ve heard before, that we’re all salespeople. We are all selling something from the day we are born, and the better our sale’s pitch, the better response we get. I would go as far as saying that we’re all sales creatures living on this earth and we are all striving for the things we want or need to survive, get ahead and reach our goals. Too many of us, however, go into the field without proper preparation, willing to be mediocre and settle for whatever result we may obtain.
Our goal is simply to react to the field, to pitch in a mechanical way and if works, that’s great, we had a good day at work. If it doesn’t, then we had a bad day. This passive approach takes away our power and gives it to someone or something else.
I learned a valuable lesson one day in my office, over two years ago. Since my workplace was not far away from the sea, every once in a while a mosquito or two managed to sneak in. This day in particular I left what I was doing, to make sure I didn’t only fan the mosquito away but I actually wanted to kill it. Yet try as I may, it seemed more and more difficult. I tried all the tricks in the book. Tried to stay quite so it could stand on my legs and quietly strike it, but none of it worked. The mosquito was swift and versatile. It almost seemed skillful and athletic. Finally I realized that I was wasting too much time, so I just resorted to fanning it away that it couldn’t obtain a bite out of me. But half-hearted effort seldom ever prevails. So the inevitable happened. I felt the pinch on my calf and then it was over, the war was over and I had lost. I almost felt a sense of relief, like something deep down inside of me admitted that my enemy had earned the right to win.
Normally I would have been very upset, but the whole event made me stop and think of the powerful sales lesson I had just been taught… by a mosquito. It was about the power of determination. Since then I have concluded that the power of determination is the single common ingredient all winners share. You must be determined in order for the brain to lock into an objective and stop at nothing until it accomplishes what it wants.

Sometimes the need for a career change is obvious. Your health breaks down. The industry dissipates. Your job is undeniably miserable.Sometimes the need for a change is not so obvious, which is why so many people stuck in the wrong jobs stay in them for years and years, sometimes until retirement.I have a friend named Lisa who has worked as a bank teller for the past five years. She enjoys the work, but admits that during the past couple of years

One of the most important positions for the forward progression and ongoing stability of a nation is that of a teacher. If we fail to teach the next generation correctly then all we have done in the present period is lost and will disappear in the next. But we must not only teach kids to memorize to get the desired answer, we need to teach them to think, fore there will be critical events in the future some of which we have not properly foreseen, which they will h

Before we begin, I want you to think about how many times you actually sought out an advertisement. How did you know where to look for it? Why did you choose that one? Whether you know it or not, the number of times you were exposed to the message has a huge impact on you. Also, the message and how it made you feel had a large influence on your response.On the other side of the table, how do you know how well people are responding to your advertisemen

Have you ever wondered what a reporter is thinking about when he or she sits down to interview you? If you haven’t, you probably aren’t getting the most out of your experiences with the press. The best media training programs teach you to think like a reporter. If you want to establish a good rapport with a journalist and get back as much as you give in your interview, you’ve got to focus on what that journalist is thinking.The Assignment squito. It was about the power of determination. Since then I have concluded that the power of determination is the single common ingredient all winners share. You must be determined in order for the brain to lock into an objective and stop at nothing until it accomplishes what it wants.
It made me wonder what would drive such a small creature that doesn’t even have a brain, to stop at nothing until it reached its goal. I did a bit of research and discovered that only female mosquitoes have the ability to suck blood. And they actually do it to be able to produce eggs. Now I had a motive! Imagine a desperate mother making sure she had sufficient food to feed her babies. That is a far greater reason to fight than simply avoiding and uncomfortable pinch. This brings me to the main reason that makes us fight with determination: the awareness that we are fighting for something of value. Value, makes all the difference.
This seemingly insignificant event inspired me to write a 7-page-story entitled “The Mosquito and The Witch” which I included in my latest book “The Brainstormer. Think, Imagine, Create”. All because a brainless little creature displayed incredible determination which was inspired by a worthy and valuable cause.
So next time you are preparing to go out there and “ get’ em” make sure your focus is clear. Once you know you are offering something of great value nothing can stop you, you know you’ll make a major contribution that could even change someone’s life for the better.
