For A Better America
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of being a judge at an idea competition held at Washington University here in St. Louis. One of the ideas that was presented was an on-line town hall effort called "For A Better America" (www.forabetteramerica.org). The two Wash-U sophomores who started the site -- Sam Bear and Mark Davis -- have the kind of energy and enthusiasm that is contagious, so I decided to help them out a bit by doing three things:
- Organizing a "how do we make this work" business discussion with a handful of local, great, business and government minds. (We held this meeting last week.)
- Moving my conversation about eliminating dishonesty in sales to the For A Better America website. See: http://www.forabetteramerica.org/ideas/179/thought/530/
- Inviting all of you to join the conversation.
Their website is totally free, pretty easy to use and just what the doctor ordered for taking my idea out of the private group setting into a public forum.
It is my sincere hope that you'll join me at this "town hall" meeting so we can flesh out ideas for eliminating salesdrip behavior from the sales profession once and for all. And while you're there, by all means join other conversations already in progress or start your own ideas for how we can make America better.
