When I told Julie I had never heard of that client she said &ldquo;Are you kidding? They&rsquo;re huge! And very successful!&rdquo;<\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Tahoma\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Embarrassed by my ignorance, I decided to learn about this hugely successful advertiser.<\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Tahoma\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Then it dawned on me. The reason Julie is successful is she believes that all of her key accounts are the best at what they do!<\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Tahoma\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She digs and probes until she uncovers something positive about each account that she can believe in. That belief then manifests itself into the passionate energy necessary to create successful campaigns her station&rsquo;s listeners can believe in. <\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Tahoma\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Are you as passionate about your clients&rsquo; successes as you are your own? Do you take the time to dig beyond the mundane surface to help your clients uncover their most salient attributes? <\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Tahoma\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You know enthusiasm is contagious, but does your sales process help you grow your enthusiasm for every client? Or do you simply view clients as a means to your end or as accounts receivable problems?<\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Tahoma\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Your most difficult clients can be challenging.
