Good morning to one and all,

And Jacqueline, I just realized you posted my first Tip - I just saw that. That is soooooo neat and exciting! I did not realize it was there til I scrolled up the page.
Jacqueline, I am sure you are way to young to remember who Johnny Appleseed was…
What a sweetheart to take this moment to respond. Jacqueline, there is nothing that delights me more than making a real connection with people. I know I am very good at my face-to-face connection. Now I am learning to manuever myself on the WWW! And…

- How will you add value to the Cold Closing Network?
- Diane Marie Pinkard is an author and a teacher who has discovered that the bigger classroom outside of a traditional school is where she belongs. With an advanced degree from the California State College system, a small business owner, a mother and a wife, she has multi-tasked her way through her working and family-centered years to come to understand that life’s lessons and that those learned and earned as a professional are inevitably entwined.
Diane is a woman of unrelenting optimism and, if for no other reason (and there are plenty), completely qualified to write a book about the art of sales. A consummate professional, a gifted communicator, a lively spirit and a dedicated teacher, Diane is an advocate for the art of selling as a craft, as a business and as a way of living.
While living in nature is a dream for some, for Diane is at the root of who she is. Modern day heroes are not so easy to come by for her. It is therefore not surprising that a seldom-remembered farmer, Johnny Appleseed, is the one that touches her heart. While Johnny did sew his seeds—and many writers today are clever enough to scatter their know-how—what makes him unique in her eyes is that some two hundred years later those trees are still bearing fruit. Diane’s legacy, like all great teachers, is not just found in the process, but in what remains. Diane's goal and passion for her life is to leave her mark on the world.
- What do you hope to gain from the Cold Closing Network?
- I thoroughly enjoy people and I love cultivating new relationships, and developing healthy and long-lasting connections. Now I am finding it equally exciting to social network on the Internet. I love the remarkable people I am meeting and the rich connections I am building. I love experiencing the Laws of Attraction at work on the Internet as I know them to function in my face-to-face life. For, the “magic of the universe” is definitely at work: the right people are showing up to help me and I am there to educate and encourage them. I am learning that many like-minded individuals share the same passion I do: To educate the minds and hearts of people, so as to change the world. And I look forward to meeting more.

Diane Marie Pinkard's "Tip of the Week!"
Good morning to one and all,
Today I am going to share an excerpt from my book, JUST TREAT ME LIKE I MATTER: THE HEART OF SALES. It is a favorite of mine because it is a great lesson that my father taught me, just three years ago. Now that he is going on 90, he still practices this gift for connection everywhere that he goes.

What Do You Have in Common with Apple, Southwest and Nordstroms?
There is one vital characteristic that delivers dramatically higher results …in anything. That characteristic is personal accountability. We must always be responsible and accountable to ourselves regardless of our background, position or occupation.
In fact, personal accountability is even more important as small business owners. Just because we do not have a boss to answer to, does not mean that we should sacrifice our efforts and accountability for excuses and complacency. It is called conscious ownership. What does conscious ownership mean? More...
