Mauro Libi Crestani: If your goal is to be successful, then never lose site of where that success comes from.

We are all into sales. Yes, this includes yourself. You are a salesperson if you sell merchandise. You are a salesperson if you are consulting a patient for surgery. You are are salesperson when you are a teacher trying to sell the idea of studying to your students.

Your level of success depends on how successful you are at the sale and your ability to close a sale. One of the best ways of succeeding is to create not just a loyal base of customers but a base of customers that we can only describe as raving fans.

Years ago when you went into a gas station, an attendant checked your oil level, he washed your windows, also filled your gas. Every gas station had clean safe restrooms.

Compare that to now when there is no attendant. You can wash your windshield if you can find a wiper that is not broken and if you can find water in the wiper bin. Half the gas meters are broken. If your credit card does a wrong charge, there is no one to help you who cares.

Which of the two Is your business ideal? Which experience would your customers remember better? Which experience would customers tell their friends about and refer friends to?

When dealing with customers, it's not enough to provide a good service or to sell a good product. All your competition sells a good product. You want to provide outstanding service, the best product. You do not want your customers to say that you are average. You want them to say that you are the best and that they would never consider buying from anyone else. You want them to brag to all their friends who will become your future customers. You want to create not just customers but a raving fan base that will keep them as customers and bring you more customers.


If your goal is to be successful, then never lose site of where that success comes from.

This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet.
