Keep your eyes focused on the prize
On this day in 1974, French-born Philippe Petit walked on a high wire between the newly built twin towers of the World Trade Center in NYC.
Petit was 1,350 feet above the ground when he took his 45-minute stroll.
So what does this have to do with you, high-wire-operating sales pro?

The air tastes sweeter on the high wire
What is a high-wire walk to you in your Sales Life?
Meeting with CXOs?
Role-playing in front of your peers?
Creating strategic plans? ("What if they find out I'm not strategic?")
When plotting your hire-wire act, practice first. (Don't pull a Nike and "just do it"!) It's good that you want to take a stab at something daring, but be smart and calculating, too.
