More  Fps  from  this  group  :    •  There  are  so  many  lost  ideas,  either  you  just  forget  about  them  

or  you  don´t  realize  how  good  the  idea  really  was,  you  just  thought  it  was  funny.  Savor  all  moments  and  write  all  ideas  down,  without  evaluaEng  them.  That  you  can  do  later.    

“ Tip  #6  The  licle  Black  Book    Not  larger  than  your  back  pocket.  When  creaEvity  strikes,  write  your  idea  down.  Then  you  evaluate  and  develop  it  further  in  Q3.

More  Fps  from  this  group  :    •  Many  of  us  knows  that  selling  to  exisEng  customers  means  

higher  profitability  and  higher  win-­‐rate.  SEll  many  of  us  are  too  focused  on  hunEng  down  new  leads.  Maybe  it´s  Eme  to  try  something  else?    

“ Tip  #7  Just  Book  It!    You  know  that  you  will  want  to  meet  with  them,  your  exisEng  customers.  Book  meeEngs  now  and  have  lots  of  good  cross-­‐selling  and  “refills”  to  look  forward  to  in  Q3.
