I was doing some planting today and thought “What a great metaphor for business”.
How can you relate to a prospect or a client if you don’t really understand their business and their challenges? How can you manage a sales process if you haven’t sold the solution yourself? How can you create a service that really solves problems if you don’t spend time in the field in front of clients?
Dig in and you will know what seeds to plant so you can build a better product, build a better team, and beat your competition and yield a plentiful crop!
Have a great week all.

Vic – nothing special…some perennials and some veggies.
Love this metaphor. Only thing I would do different is plant something special. Doesn’t require much extra effort and the results are considerably more rewarding. (usually makes your boss happier, too.)
thanks, y, special seeds are even better.
