First off -- just a friendly reminder that those of you who would like to get a pretty-much daily view into my life -- both personal and professional -- can always now visit www.twitter.com/belsito. From sitting at my desk executing on Playaway strategy...to listening to music in a hammock...I've been "tweeting" on a pretty regular basis. For those of you who have not...well...tweeted before, you should really consider starting. It is as easy as text messaging from your phone and it's become one of my new favorite things to do. But for those of you that are still lost in the outdated age of blogging...this post is for you!
Isn't it funny how sometimes the most important things we can do in business are considered to be mundane? After all, if you told your friend over a beer after work that you spent all day sending emails and making phone calls...constantly...they probably would tip their cup up and offer up a "To better days!" kind of toast. You'd both drink, start to talk about something else, and go on with your night. But think about it. Pure execution...the emails, the phone calls, the diligent follow-up. Isn't THAT what ends up resulting in sales and more business? Sure, sales is relationship-building, but how do you build relationships without pounding away on the phones?
I know that this is a random thought, but I think it's important to point out just how important spending a full day emailing and making phone calls can really be...especially if you are a business development person such as myself.
Okay, enough of this random thought. Back to emails. and phone calls. and...well, you get the point.
