Lewis on The Small Things
“The smallest excellent act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.”
–C.S. Lewis (1898–1963)
Irish writer and scholar
Sales attention…
How many of us have wished we’d agreed something (or someone) a small extra effort or attention earlier in the quarter/ year rather than later?
Lewis’s thought encourages us to care about what/ who is in front of us now… to fully use today (this salesday) and delight in what it brings us in the future.
If you’ve not seen them, a few things we hope you delight in during a well-earned break or over the weekend…
- A quick (2.5 min.) video made by Baby chicken-fil-A to remind their employees that their customers are people and they may have things going on in their lives (a excellent business to remember as you sell and service your prospects and customers).
- My personal experiment: A device diet last year that led to a permanent change for the better (speaks to that ‘life in front’ of you point).
- A fantastic small 15-minute video on the value of a smile, being encouraging and hard-wearing, and the impact we have on others (even when we don’t grasp it).
