It seems every morning I'm putting in a couple of hours doing just enough trying to move some these net new deals forward. I heard from one today with a question and the net new there was no response. I'll send out another email in the AM wishing a happy 4th of July and see if I get a response. Most deals will happen on the clients timeline and not ours. Seems with COVID19 that clients timelines are dragging out more than normal. I lost a deal today, thinking back it was the first deal I...

Well another blog I did't think I was going to write this evening. Late in day I was able to catch a news interview with our Governor. This is the same Governor that shut down indoor dining the day before it was scheduled to open yesterday. He puts the blame on other states that are seeing infections increasing because those states have opened indoor dining. Thus he elected to shut it down. He also based the decision on activities from the last weekend where many bars were packed and peeps...

When I posted a blog on Friday of last week I had no intention of writing one today. My thoughts moving into this week was to post the most important press releases, answer some topics and take a much needed break from both jobs. That also meant no Monday night email update. As sales people are we every really on vacation? Before email and the internet vacations were easier and that's because we really weren't connected like we are today. I can still remember when vacations were real...

It's not just always about the pricing of the hardware and the clicks. In many cases it's about the...

It was rise and shine at 5AM today! I'm getting to like this early gig and getting more time to spend outside. Since I was up so early I made it the office a little before 7AM today. That early time was used to develop and send both a proposal and order docs to the net new client that gave the verbal the other day. Since the order is for three MPF's and two locations I spent about two hours developing those docs. Normally I would just send the order docs, however the decision maker also...

This morning it was 5AM when I grabbed a cup of coffee and then sat in the back yard to see the sun rise over the ocean. This morning was a little different from the others because I dozed off on the lounger after a half over or so. I was brought back to reality when I felt a thump on my chest and was there was Angus. Angus came to us a few years ago and adopted us as her people and yes she is a...

Today marked the last day of the month and the last day of the and quarter for me. Nothing changed from yesterday, however I did get a tad bit exciting when I had a call from my net new prospect for a call meeting as soon as possible. Of course I dropped everything and jumped on the call. That call was more about understanding the two proposals so that he could present to his team later today. Keeping my toes and fingers crossed that this may happen tomorrow or the end of this week. We had a...
