Today is April Fool's Day and I remind you Don't Be A Fool.

Remember the basics:

When, and be honest here, was the last time you.....

• Walked around the sales pit and asked each rep what they were working on
• Went on a sales call with an AE
• Asked someone other than the small "go to" circle you always go to for a new idea
• Personally presented a BIG IDEA to a large prospect
• Attended a jock meeting
• Called a key client out of the blue, thanked them for their business and offered them a few bonus spots when you have inventory available
• Wrote a thank-you note to a client
• Reviewed a commercial log to see if it reflects what is set up
• Calculated your Average Unit Rate
• Actually coached
• Challenged every department head to give you one idea to improve their department (that doesn't cost anything)

I could go on and on ... just don't forget the basics ...it's so easy to get "in the weeds" with all we have going on ... Good luck.
