I like quotes and use them often to make a point, whether to one person or a group.<\/h4>\n

Recently, as I was preparing for a presentation, I decided to use one of my favorite quotes by Brian Herbert\u2026<\/h4>\n

\u201cThe Capacity to Learn is a Gift\u2026 The Ability to Learn is a Skill\u2026<\/em>
\nThe Willingness to Learn is a Choice!\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n

To me, this quote simply states that we are all born with the ability to learn. Whether we choose to use that gift to learn and try new things is up to us. It\u2019s subtle!<\/h4>\n

For this particular presentation, I wanted to be a little more direct and make the case that if you aren\u2019t willing to learn and try new ideas, failure is inevitable. So, I chose this quote by Zig Ziglar to use along with the previous one:<\/h4>\n

\u201cIf you are NOT willing to learn, no one can help you!<\/em>
\nIf you ARE determined to learn, NO ONE can stop you!\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re trying to make a point to someone or a group of people, try using quotes. Hang them around the office\u2026 or even hang one in your office to remind those that visit\u2026 or to remind yourself.<\/h4>\n

I hope that wasn\u2019t too subtle!<\/h4>\n

We\u2019ve created a clean, more presentable version of these two quotes together. If you would like a copy, click here and we will share them with you!<\/h4>\n

Last week’s ENS on Sales was titled, Warning Label and User Manuals. I may have been too subtle in what I was trying to get across, so let me be more direct.<\/h4>\n

If you aren\u2019t having much success with selling recruitment advertising or with its effectiveness, give me a call. I know how to make it work for you and your clients. It\u2019s a proven system that will help you sell mega loads of recruitment advertising.<\/h4>\n

Your investment is tiny, peanuts, crumbs, compared to the potential return for your stations. We will teach you how to present it, prepare it, and execute it!<\/h4>\n

If you want to make your clients happy, make your stations look like heroes, and create a ton of billing, contact us to arrange a conversation. Oh, and also let us know if you want us to send the quotes.<\/h4>\n

I hope I wasn\u2019t too subtle this time!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
