Sales Techniques & Strategy (Recommendations from the Sales Performance Practice)
Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results by Stephen
C. Lundin, Harry Paul,
John Christensen
"I try to bring positive energy to all I do.
This can be summed up by the FiSH! Philosophy. It is a well known idea, but
if you haven’t heard of it before
I think you’ll find it interesting. Or even if you have heard of it,
but don’t live it, I suggest you re read it. The most important part
of the FiSH! Philosophy is choosing your attitude. No matter what happens during
your day, decide what kind of person you want to be and be that person!" ~

and deliver results whether you're running an entire company or in your
first management job." ~ Marsue
