Why you should care about your clients’ Dopamine levels.

In last month’s blog I talked about the brain being a a complex structure, processing information via circuits that connect various parts of the brain to each other.  I also touched on the fact that the circuits in our brains have been created based on our own, individual experiences over time.  And thus, no two … Read More

Are you often surprised at how hard it can be to make some decisions and easy to make others?  And it’s not always the significant decisions that are the hardest right?  Unable to decide what to have for dinner, but found it a piece of cake earlier (not a good dinner choice by the way) … Read More

Not doing this could be causing your clients real pain.

July 24, 2018By sharonAccount management, Sales, Sharon Stanley Consulting, Tips
Not doing this could be causing your clients real pain.

Silence.  Nothing.  My blood pressure starts to rise and I feel completely helpless.  I send another email.  A few days later – another.  Nothing.  I look at the company’s website again – nope no phone numbers. The delivery tracking link isn’t working either. I resort to Twitter and Facebook; finally someone responds to my Facebook … Read More
