Welcome To March

Last month the posts focused on the role of relationships in Servant Selling. We talked about customer and client relationships, relationships with our partners and peers, and relationships with those up and down the organization.

March is the month of St. Patrick's Day and March Madness in College Basketball. The posts will focus on a handful of topics but we'll start out looking at the role of luck in Servant Selling. Selling has some of the characteristics of the slot machine in Vegas. Some days you just walk up to the right machine, pull the lever, and cash in. It's probably more like poker, where skill and knowledge of the game blend with luck to create an outcome. In poker, anyone can win a hand, but over time, the skilled player with insight and discipline will win out.

March is also the month of "Power Week" this year. That is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter that Christians celebrate around the world. I have a special series of posts planned for that time frame. Jesus said, the sun and the rain falls on everyone regardless of how good they are. We'll take a quick look at the idea of blessing and favor which may be confused with luck. I’ll probably even use that week to take a look at how Jesus might work in the profession of selling.
