OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the
tissues of the breast. Hearing the words "breast cancer" doesn't always mean an
end. It can be the beginning of learning how to fight, getting the
facts and finding hope.

Greetings!
Happy Tuesday!
It was a very odd week. I won't go into details...I'll save those for the article. But let's just say a few things happened that left me absolutely dumbfounded. It also left me speechless (maybe not enough though depending on who you ask!) so let's get right to it...

Just Show Up!
Reinforcing the Obvious
|
If you've ever been at a closing to buy a
new house, you've probably left with carpel tunnel in your signature hand from
all of the forms you had to sign. Some of those sheets seem pretty ridiculous -
I recently had to sign one acknowledging that I had signed the previous
document! Although that may seem pretty ridiculous, the amazing thing is an
instance or a series of instances precipitated the requirement for these seemingly
frivolous documents.
Likewise, have you read the directions on
some of the most basic products that are use every day? For example, on a kids
Halloween Superman costume, the label reads "Warning: Wearing this garment does
not enable you to fly." Seriously!? Then there is the one on a Nytol sleep aid
that reads, "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
So what does this have to do with anything
sales related? Well it lays the foundation for why I am writing about this week's
topic. For all of the ridiculous things we see and read, there is a reason why
we are reading it. Much of the time it is because of repeated and total disregard
for the obvious. We also live in an increasingly litigious society so these "C.Y.A."
documents are unfortunately needed. Not coincidentally, there is something that
needs to be addressed in sales that you wouldn't think should be.
