It's Not the Economy Stupid

by Vince Poscente
Author of The Ant and the Elephant, Invinceable Principles and The Age of Speed

Consumers are becoming paralyzed. Investors are hobbled with trepidation. Sales people are deer in the headlights. All have one thing in common... FEAR of the economy. As the US Presidential elections approach there is one thing that every leader, manager and sales person should know:

It's not the economy stupid.

It's about pie.

Maybe your industry dropped from $40 Billion to $30 Billion. Stop looking at the economic drop and look at the pie that's left. So the piece of your pie you have available is $30 Billion. Go get your share!

If you want your share of the pie, here's part of a conversation I had with friend and colleague Tim Wackel:

If your client is saying they don't have money then they're not telling the truth. If they didn't have money they'd be out of business. They're not buying from you because your product or service is second-rate. That's what needs to change. (Especially in this stupid economy.)

To get your share of the pie, draw from The Age of Speed. Here are three things from my latest book that will immediately impact your bottom line!

  1. Be ALIGNED. The first step is a crystal clear alignment with who you are and what your company culture represents. Who will champion this alignment?

  2. Act with AGILITY. In real time, agility is the difference between a sales commission or empty hands, the difference between a nimble organization and a culture frozen in its tracks. Who will accelerate your team's agility?

  3. Learn how to be AERODYNAMIC. Accomplish this by eliminating drag. Fear mongers, naysayers, inefficiency and poor use of time are the things that will slow you down. Who will give immediate, practical advice on eliminating drag?

If you and the people you work with are tired of being overwhelmed with a stupid economy talk to the person who is planning your next meeting. Give them this link www.vinceposcente.com.

I'll help you and your team get your share of a big ol' tasty piece of pie...starting NOW!

Until next week it’s full speed ahead,
Vince
