"How do we differentiate and be amazing in the eyes of the customer & prospect customer right now? is the most fundamental question any business can ask itself right now. To really be able answer though, you need to become an expert at two additional things 1. Your competitors & 2 your customer's market & their customers. Most people know their own product and fall down thereafter."Switch On Your Amazing Power
"Lewis, I always love your angles, did anyone every tell you you are a great salesperson, so effective as selling your message - I always want to read on. "Even when you decided to go into business on your own, it wasn’t the plan that inspired you; it was the dream and the vision, driven by your passion. The business plan came afterwards" MAGIC! statement, I love it :) "So, You Want an Amazing Business?
"This is a great post, I particularly like Zero in on Your Best Prospects. This is really great advice in this climate where people are inclined to waste lots of time with leads that are not in a position to buy. Researching as you point how is a key skill towards insuring that you are managing your time and building relationships with the right people. "How to be amazing: it’s the simple things that count
"Another great Sugartone post from the ladies, thanks Una. Don’t automatically assume your staff are good on the phone. Many are not. YES! & I had a two separate examples this week alone. It often strikes me that a basic training course on manners would go a long way with many companies. Great practical & effective advice, as you say, do the little things well & you'll go a long way. "How Can I Look "Amazing" On LinkedIn?
"Hi Greg, you are building up a super collection on LinkedIn articles, I would ask first time readers to check out some of your others - they won't regret it! This next statement may make me unpopular but hey! In my opinion LinkedIn is the most misunderstood and probably the worst used of all the social media. The reason: because it is used by business people and a very large portion of them don't have a clue yet plough on regardless. "Engaging with your future force
"Generation Y have gotten a bad press in some quarters but a lot of what is said misses the point, every generation is different from the one before, the Millennials just happen to be the most tech savvy people on the planet. Smart companies are quickly learning to embrace Gen Y and their tools because as you point out, Gen Y may not only be your future employees, they will also be your future customers. Great post! Politicians, Educators, Biz leaders please pay attention!"Subscribe

As you point out the ability to be able to take an objective and fair look at both ourselves & our business is a key skill towards the development of both. Life doesn’t get better then being our best!, love that! Great post, Thanks, Niall"
