A couple of months ago my two sons’ and daughter urged me to remain “relevant” by being connected to Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking offerings.

After an initial defensive response, I pondered their observation and deduced we all must keep moving ahead never accepting the status quo. The notion that we are not a finished product unless we say so is thought provoking!

This is thought provoking for personal as well as professional endeavors.

For owners, sales managers, and sales professionals the question is are you keeping pace?

Are you remaining relevant to the needs, wants and desires of your customers?

Does the market place offer new opportunities that “old “perceptions are preventing you from taking advantage of? 

Pose these questions to your sales team, challenge them to think out of the box, encourage them to try new approaches, keep them relevant!
