We talk about tax freedom day - the day of the year in which the ‘average’ person ceases to work for the British Government and starts to work for him or herself. Thanks to the ‘prudence’ and ‘financial management’ of our current party this has gone from 24th to 31st May since 1997.

Once upon a time there was a property owner that needed to have his trees trimmed. Anticipating the cost of this task, the property owner contacted multiple landscape companies and asked for bids to trim 40 trees.
During the next few weeks the property owner received several competitive bids with similar prices. However, one bid was substantially lower than all of the others. Upon reviewing the bid, the property owner realized that the quote was only for 35 trees.
The property owner asked the landscape company to explain the discrepancy.
The owner of the landscape company replied, "I took a few minutes to drive by your property and counted 40 trees, but 5 of them are very small and do not need to be trimmed yet. So I provided you a quote for the 35 trees that actually need my service."
The landscape company was awarded that business, as well as future business and referrals from the property owner.
Take the time to understand the real needs of your customers and you will be able to offer true value in your proposals, negotiations and solutions.
Dedication, motivation, inspiration and commitment are driving forces in the continuous pursuit to achieve success. Working harder, faster, longer or smarter will increase opportunity. But there is an important counter-balance to the secret formula for success. Take time to pause from the pursuit of accomplishment and look at the situation from the eyes of your customer or client. The better your understanding of the issue or opportunity, the more effective your efforts will be.

Asking questions is a simple skill mastered by few to the detriment of many. Asking the wrong questions can result in a sale being lost, an employee being misguided, a manager not being listened to and projects poorly planned.It is not as simple as “asking open questions” as some consultants would have it. To get the maximum out of asking questions, we need to ask the right open question or in some cases th
