While contemplating what our last topic of the year for ENS on Sales would be, I started thumbing through some of the books that I had read and saved over the past 30 years.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

They reminded me of when and why I started to read. It was early into my sales career and during our semi-annual goal-setting process.\u00a0The theme for this particular period was, \u201cHow to get better\u201d and the quote used to promote learning was \u201cThe man who can read but doesn\u2019t, isn\u2019t any wiser than the man who can\u2019t read\u201d.\u00a0That quote hit me like a ton of bricks.\u00a0If you are not already an avid reader, I hope that it has the same effect on you as it did me.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Reading will help you in two incredible ways; you\u2019ll gain knowledge and confidence.\u00a0These two things, combined with a strong work ethic and a positive attitude, will help you have a great 2020 and beyond!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n
