Here are some examples of how to apply Dr. Covey’s habits to the world of sales and marketing today: Be proactive: The company suffers when leads sent to sales are junk – and nothing happens. The percent of leads accepted by sales must be measured and you must seek continuous improvement. Begin with the end in mind: If you are running a campaign that has been run before, what were the results and do they justify running the campaign again? If it is a new campaign and it has not been tested, test it. Put first things first: Generating more leads that go nowhere faster is neither urgent nor important. Think win/win: There are few penalties for lack of cooperation. Implement some. Seek first to understand and then be understood: You cannot agree on the definition of a lead unless you have listened to and attempted to understand your counterpart’s ideas and needs. Synergize: Take the silos out of your business. Rally around the prospects and clients. Sharpen the saw: Preserve yourself as an asset. Take care of yourself so that you can take care of others.
