Another Groundhog Day?

Happy GHD!

The first Groundhog Day was held in 1887 in Punxsutawney, PA. Even before the fun movie, February 2 was synonymous with everyone getting excited for a random rodent to tell us how much winter remained. (Ummm, it’s early February!!!)

While the ceremony remains popular, the movie might be more popular – it garners an 8 out of 10 on IMDB!

The movie holds up after all these years; it’s fun, sweet, and poignant with its message to live the best version of yourself every day!

Do

Unfortunately, you can’t walk back an off-the-mark statement you make to a customer…or rewind a sarcastic response you let slip to a client. You don’t get "do-overs" like Phil Connors in the movie!

But that’s okay. Making mistakes is all part of The Sales Life.

Learn. Analyze. Correct. March forward.

Today, push yourself to be your best self…to your buyers, and inside your company too. Go further, today.

Oomph

The best scene from the GHD movie is titled "New and Improved Phil."

Let Bill Murray’s antics in this clip remind you of how easy it is to be nice and enthusiastic. Don’t just practice it today, and not just with your customers.

Be nice.

As the saying goes, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!

Quote of the day

There is no way winter is ever going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. He’s gotta be stopped.
