Today is my youngest daughter’s, as she put it, “Last First-Day of School”. She is a Senior in college and will finish her undergrad in May.

As I have done for nearly 25 years on the first day of school with all three of our kids, I told her to have fun, study hard and learn lots! I then asked her, “What’s the family rule?” and she replied, “Be nice to everyone”. That’s my girl!

After reflecting on this, it reminded me of how we as media reps and managers approach what we do in the world of sales. This isn’t just a good rule of thumb for raising kids, (we’ve been blessed, and it’s worked out very well for our family, as it did for the teams I managed) but it’s also a GREAT practice to follow for sales and management.

If you are in sales, or you are managing people, are you Having Fun, Training Hard, and Learning Lots? And, most importantly, are you Nice to Everyone?  It’s a good recipe for success!

Have a GREAT Day!
