Have you decided?

Have you decided to become a better professional?

How much time do you spend studying your craft compared to watching TV? You can bet there is a direct correlation between business success and activities that take time but don't really make you a better  professional, or person. 

I have decided to do even more to grow professionally in 2011.  Sure...some days will be better than others, but hopefully these tactics will help.

I've heard good counsel lately, "Invest time, don't spend it."  A goal is to identifying projects which are investments, not debits, into the time management account.


I will script sales presentations, voice mail, and emails.  Almost every outbound call will include talking points.  If scripting is good enough for presidents, actors and other great communicators - then it is good enough for a sales call or presentation.

Recording sales presentations will be a regular activity, starting now.  I have downloaded an app for recording notes and listening to my side of the conversation. It's painful (no one likes to hear themselves speak) but should contain great lessons for improving.
These three simple steps are all part of my decision to be better - for MoeryLAI and my clients.

Have you decided?
