This past weekend my brother came to visit. We had plans that included biking and kayaking… Saturday morning we woke up to THIS. Yup snow on May 1st.
We were ready. Hiking, card games, other activities that we both enjoy – we were ready.

Sales leadership and management are a bit like my weekend. Plans that go awry due to unforeseen circumstances.
Yet I wonder, much like getting May snow here in the Adirondack mountains, if sales leaders could be ready more often.
This week look back at all your successes that started off like my weekend. What were you able to do to shift and succeed anyway?
Make a list – keep it handy! You might have 25 or 204 options to use to pivot when you get snow in May.
