Using the Boring Parts to Sell

Have you ever typed in a website and gotten a 404 error telling you that the “page no longer exists or has been moved?”  These things are going to happen to you and to others.  You have an excellent opportunity to make even the most mundane experience pleasant.  How about sprucing it up with something more memorable?  Check out our 404 error page; it uses a touch of humor (we like to have fun) and it points people in the right direction, too!  What other changes can you make to the boring things in your business so that your customers will remark and want to show their friends?

Discovering New Strengths

People are sometimes concerned when they feel that their strengths aren’t very good or they prefer someone else’s over their own.  The great part is that we are human and continuously have new experiences.  As we have new experiences, it is important to remember how we feel when we are performing new new activities.  New strengths (and weaknesses) are discovered daily!  For example, I realize that I love developing long term business relationships where I influence others to connect.  Reading this sentence gets me fired up but might seem terribly boring to you.  That’s okay.  Your strengths may appear boring to others.  That’s the great part about strengths…If we’re all wired the same, why would we need a team?  Lean on your team, have hope, and remember how to further refine your strengths.
