Dr. Tom Osborne was the head football Coach at the University of Nebraska Lincoln for over thirty-years. His winning percentage was over 80% with three National Championships.

Today’s sales professional lives in a world of constant change & sometimes chaos! Big win’s and sometimes big loses! The key factor that keeps the Champion sales professional at the top of their game is not their database or connections or any other “outside” factor; the key factor is an inside job!

“Attitude of a Championship Customer Service”

Customer service is one of the most crucial areas of any enterprise but often the most overlooked. Companies get busy with product development, making more sales, hiring new people etc. But in all of this activity there is another activity going on…I call it the silent business killer…poor customer service. Aaron share’s how customer service isn’t a department in your company; rather it’s the attitude of everyone in the entire organization! An attitude of “sincerely” caring about the very people who keep you in business…the customer!

Teachers are often faced with many challenges such as teacher per student ratios, state testing, requirements to do more with less and the list goes on, but they still LOVE TO TEACH!

Ever find yourself struggling to keep your sanity and temper when dealing with some of your students and their parents (occasionally one of your teammates/co-workers)?

ALL championship high school athletic teams share similar traits that consistently keep them performing at a high level!

The Price of Being a Student Athlete (How to avoid embarrassing your school, family & yourself)

Instead of the sports pages, they are frequently being mentioned in the area that lists arrests and court appearances.
