A couple of generations ago, a group called The Lovin’ Spoonful had a hit record called “Do you believe in magic?” If you are a fan of the “oldies,’ you may have heard it.
Magic is fascinating and I see quite a connection between magic and business.
Above all, if you treat MAGIC as an acronym, you’ll see the connection too.
MAGIC actually means “Must Always Get in Close.”
And that, to me, is the secret characteristic of successful dealer/leaders and the organizations they lead – they must always get in close with their team, their vendors, their customers, and their communities.
So how do you make that happen? Consider the eight-step process below, which we have found consistently delivers all the magic you’ll ever need to be successful. Use it, and you’ll be a business wizard!
