In a recent post by Certified Go-Giver Coach, Linda Ryan, she suggested some great ideas for bringing yourself out of an emotional funk.

There are certainly times when — as a leader, coach or mentor — when someone comes to you with a problem or concern, it is indeed your job to solve it. However, such a situation is much more rare than the need to listen. To just listen. In his book, It’s Not About The Coffee,…

While at Dunkin’ Donuts reading a book on Starbucks (gotta’ love those kinds of things) 🙂 I came across a very wise saying. The book, It’s Not About The Coffee by retired company President, Howard Behar with Janet Goldstein, quoted from Dr. Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson’s classic, The One Minute Manager – one of…

Blog, Endless Referrals, The Go-GiverBy Bob Burg March 1, 2012 33 Comments

“Sell Without Selling!” … “Never Sell Again!” … “Salesless Selling!” Have you noticed the proliferation of teachings and articles telling you that you don’t need to sell in order to … sell?
