Every lost customer you handle right is one less bad-mouth in the market, and one more shot at round two. Mackay’s Moral: He or she who burns bridges better be a damn good swimmer. #salesnetworking #networking #networkingsuccess

Advertisers drop fortunes on slivers of urban markets, back of envelopes, stadium boards, while this painless gimmick sits ignored. We've done it 25 years at Mackay Envelope. #salesnetworking #networking #networkingsuccess

The most efficient way to expand your network is trading with someone else: relatives, friends, business associates, even vets who've charmed the right dogs. #salesnetworking #networking #networkingsuccess

Transform your life through networks by building one that multiplies your reach: every person knows 200 others, so 200 contacts equals 40,000 doors. #marketingsales #networking #networkingsales

Focus on customers because they're not interruptions, they're the purpose of your business. No customers, no business. At Mackay Envelope, my sign reads: "Our meeting won't be interrupted... unless a customer calls." I never am too busy for one. #marketingsales #networking

You find the right fit for customers even if it's not you because customers aren't loyal to products, they're loyal to solutions. Claim "everyone" as your market? You're really claiming no one. Send them where they thrive, referrals flow back tenfold. #marketingsales #networking

Jobs evaporate, companies fold, information vanishes overnight. What's left standing? Your network. It's the one permanent asset in a world of quicksand. Safeguard it. #marketingsales #networking #networkingsales

Knowledge sits useless until you dig it out and apply it. Be the somebody who acts. #marketingsales #networking #networkingsales

Is your goal vital? Realistic? Worth evenings and weekends? Did you say yes to those? Commit fully or quit. Mackay’s Moral: Lots of people start, but few people finish. #marketingsales #networking #networkingsales

"Practice right so you can't get it wrong." I didn't coin it, but Vince Lombardi did, and it's gospel. Practice alone builds habits. Wrong habits? You cap your potential forever. Perfect practice makes perfect: correct, persistent, intense. #marketingsales #networking
