It’s the morning… and you’re standing in front of a mirror… dressing for work…

You button up your shirt, straighten your tie, or fasten your earrings.

Then, with a sly grin, you pull on your comfy pants… sweats, yoga pants… or for some brave souls… just boxers.  

Then, you wander down the hall, enter your office, and settle down at your computer.

It’s time for another video conference marathon…

While it might feel like these video meetings are taking over your life…we’re all wondering…

Are video meetings really that much better than phone calls or emails?  

Do video messages deliver better results than just a kind email?

Are video sales pages THAT much more effective?

Well, a musician might have answered all those questions fifty years ago when he decided to write a little song…

I’m Andrew Davis… and this is how it all began…

When was the last time you became inspired?  

Truly inspired with ideas that could make a real impact on your work?

The right strike of inspiration can increase your sales, improve your team dynamics, and solve a problem that has been plaguing your company for far too long.

Inspiration is magic… but… it can be hard to harness.

You can’t just sit down and become inspired.  

It takes the right combination of attitude and preparation to grab hold of the idea before it slips your grasp forever.

So… Do you want my secret for how to find inspiration?  

Well… I’ll gladly share it. But first, I want to tell you about one man who found inspiration in the most unlikely of places.

It starts with a chilling scene on a cold morning…

I’m Andrew Davis, and this is how it all began…

Nicole Kidman once sat down next to me while I was waiting at the airport.

We were in the Admiral’s Lounge in the crowded terminal when she asked to use the outlet located under my seat.

I looked up from my reading and my eyes almost bugged out of my head.  She was politely looking over at me… waiting for my reply.  

After a few speechless moments, I eventually found my voice to say yes.

For salespeople, finding your voice can often be a struggle.

Sure, you might not suddenly be faced with an Oscar-winning actress...

But you are faced with other challenges… products that need improvements… customers who aren’t being well-served … and sales teams that need your leadership.

It’s those salespeople who can find their voice… to speak up for change… who find the most success.  

They’re able to look past paychecks and monthly quotas to find what really matters… doing what’s right for the customer.

Speaking up… raising your voice… that’s where the real magic lies.

My story today isn’t about Nicole Kidman.  In fact, we’re going  far away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood.

We’re going to start at a cocktail party… and then travel farther back in time to meet a young girl who would go to school wearing a potato sack…

I’m Andrew Davis… and this is how it all began.
