Read New Sales Simplified, Watch Madoff, Stop Doubling Down on News

---

Read, watch, stop:

• New Sales Simplified is a solid book on sales.  If you’re a salesperson, read it.  If you’re a sales manager, recommend it and read the follow-up book on managing salespeople.

• Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street.  This scandal is a testament to the saying trust but verify.

• Stop doubling down on the news.  It’s good to be aware of what’s happening in the world, but a 24-hour news cycle is tiring.
