by
Vendemore
customers
on
the
summer
event
2014
answering
the
quesEon
”How
to
prepare
for
a
fantasEc
Q3?”
The
same
morning
I
read
a
post
by
Richard
Branson
”Relax,
But
Don't
Take
the
Summer
Off
From
Great
Ideas”
(find
post
here)
The
take
away
for
me
was
that
vaccaEon
means
more
new
situaEons,
walking
on
new
roads
and
more
Eme
to
think.
This
means
more
creaEve
thinking.
CreaEvity
that
can
be
used
for
improving
your
business
and
prepare
for
a
fantasEc
Q3.
Boring?
No.
As
Mr.
Branson
says
in
his
post:
”Put
business
at
the
back
of
your
mind
–
but
not
out
of
your
head
Thank
you
Richard
Branson
Enjoy
our
Eps
on
how

prepare

Q3
before
and
during
vacaEon.
Have
a

Passion
Take

a
“call

August”
• Focus

deals
to
close

“
Tip
#3
What
NOT
to
Do
Use
the
extra
Eme
to
refelct
on

to
STOP
doing.
What
have
you
spent
Eme
on
that
did
not
pay
off,
that
affected
the
result
in
a
negaEve
way?

Run

Don´t
hold

do
what
makes

9. 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.

:
• 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.

and
have
lots
of
good
