Zero-Based ThinkingBrian Tracy uses this concept in most of his books and seminars.

To evaluate a situation one considers the following question.

Knowing what I now know, would I get into this business/job/situation again?

If the answer is yes, then continue your evaluation of the situation and make relevant changes.

But, if the answer is no, then the next step should be to get out of the situation as fast as possible, i.e.1.going back to zero2.to before the situation started3.to the topmost square of the snakes and ladders game and starting from scratch;4.start afresh.

Boost Your Sales!

Sometimes it's hard for a potential client to understand how what you have to offer works.

Sometimes they think they understand how it works when they really don't.

In either case their understanding may lead to objections.

You're the expert in whatever it is you do.

You understand how things work.

Those things are easy for you.

Yet, in all likelihood your potential clients don't understand how things work, and when you explain it sounds very hard to them.
