A couple of days ago I was given an opportunity of leading the business development team of a certain technology company in Uganda, before I even considered meeting the country manager of the company, I took some time to think about my career path. The job(s) I have held, the responsibilities I have had over the last 5/6 years since I finished University and I was reminded (I actually saw the partner!) of what I have now known for the last 3 years – I studied Information Technology (and I am good at it) BUT there is something about Selling, something about getting someone to buy in on what you are offering that is gets me extremely excited.
Anyways, I enjoy reading and learning about sales and marketing a lot and here is a little something I read up awhile ago that that can change your success selling or handling any task in like.

- You end up getting as much information as you can which in turn minimizes the chance that you could have missed something small.
- You are able to surface any hidden assumptions and test them.
