    After the storm

    I love being in St. Andrews. The weather changes minute by minute and the light can be fantastic. A squall blew through, and just as the sun was setting, it cleared enough to allow the golden light to hit the buildings of the town. St Andrews was not old and grey then.

    Days versus hours

    Frustrated by the return to the office? There’s a reason for that, and it’s not your commute. When this seemingly never-ending bout of working from home started, I was quite happy. I like being at home and I don’t mind working from home. In fact, it would be good, I thought, to be able to…

    Pollination in practice

    I’ve never really thought about how bees pollinate plants, but I was out in the garden the other day and managed to capture a bumblebee in mid-flight. The pollen is all over it!.

    Planning and action – enjoy action!

    In starting a new quarter – month – week I always like to plan ahead. Who am I going to meet, what meetings are upcoming, how will I get closer to my and my company’s goals? The best bit though – the most enjoyable bit for me – is actually speaking to clients, understanding their…

    Vulnerability

    On our daily walk we found a starlings nest in a bush. 3 small chicks and one unhatched egg. Fingers crossed they survive!

    Enjoying big decisions.

    Where were we…? Oh yes, I had this blog going about enjoying sales and sales processes. Then I became sidetracked due to a job change which in many ways was a buying process. Combine that with COVID lockdown, the coldest spring in Norway since anyone can remember and there’s been a lot to deal with.…

    Golf courses are good for taking pictures of woods, weirdly. Usually it really is difficult to see the woods for the trees, but on a golf course you get that distance to the woods to be able to take it all in.

    Enjoy asking

    One of my favourite slogans is BBC News: “Never stop asking” . According to the advertising agency Redbee that came up with the campaign “It’s a call to action which, like the proposition, was applicable to both the audience and BBC World News.” I genuinely enjoy asking. I ask about things, I ask for things.…

    How about looking at sales as a lifelong process instead of a pursuit of short term results?

    Small improvements for increased enjoyment

    As mentioned in my last post, as salespeople we can very quickly go from pointing out legitimate concerns to moaning about things that we really can’t do anything about. In and of itself that doesn’t have to be a problem, but it can present an issue if it gets in the way of our work…
