Business Week online

I had the privilage of being interviewed by Michelle Nichols for her Business Week pod cast. She has a weekly pod cast called Savvy Selling. I have put in the link so you can listen to the interview. She is a terrific lady and encourage all of you to go to her sight every week for up to date interviews on more than just selling.

I had a conversation with my brother about the coach of the Warriors basketball team wanting to renegotiate his contract because he had such a good year. My brother feels that the coach does not have a lot of integrity because he wants more money, evidently almost double, just because he had a good year. I am not sure that is true. I can look at it both ways. Shouldn't the team preempt his desire for more money by coming to him and saying that you had such a great year we want to show our appreciation and support by giving you a better contract? Too often companies and organizations don't show a lot of loyalty for a job well done by coming forth and offering more money, incentives or job security. It is a two way street. Both sides need to walk it.

I look forward to your comments.

Marc,

Thanks for the nice mention of our podcast interview for BusinessWeek.com. I hope ALL of your readers listen to it. You were a great guest and your message is so important, that you can - AND SHOULD - renegotiate with integrity.
