Good morning sales pros! Grab you a cup of coffee and let’s recap this last weeks post. We kicked off Monday mentally resetting our brains with the Miles Mindset just to erase last week’s rejections.

Wednesday, our “good buddy” at the local hardware store took four hours of our free statement analysis just to let his old processor match the rates for a round of cheap drinks. And by Thursday afternoon?

Does it feel weird to anyone else that “Back to School” season is already here? For most around the country, kids are heading back to the classroom next week. I still clearly remember the days when school didn’t start until after Labor Day. Those were the days!
