Selling Beliefs
By Susan A. Lund, President of MR3
Selling is a lot like driving. People have beliefs that shape their behavior. Some of those beliefs are false and take them off road.
What are beliefs? Beliefs are what we know to be true. When people have false beliefs, it prevents them from succeeding. There are two types of beliefs; true beliefs and false beliefs.
During the next few sessions, we will talk about several beliefs that can take you off road -- and how to adopt successful beliefs, true beliefs that will help you succeed.
Belief #1
When people drive and text, they believe that they won’t go off road.
Is that true or false? False!
When people text while driving it increases the risk of going off road, having an accident or even going in the ditch. The same applies for selling.
Take a Stand — Be a Leader
In Fleet Spectator, Mark Boada examines why hybrid sedans have not gained traction with fleets. Tricia Stecklair, senior business consultant at Element Fleet, says that until gasoline costs more than $4 a gallon, they likely don’t make sense in terms of TCO. Fleets that do employ hybrids and EVs in spite of the extra cost are paying attention to their carbon footprint.
Here's a question to corporate America: If Trump refuses to endorse the Paris climate accord, will U.S.-based corporate fleets be less inclined to limit harmful emissions? Or will they, as their counterparts in 195 countries which are signatories to the agreement, embrace sustainability because of our shared responsibility for the very life of our planet?
We are solidly behind NAFA's Sustainable Fleet initiatives, offering fleets expert guidance to becoming sustainable. Take a Stand -- Be a Leader!

Waze Wants to Help You Hitch a Ride
The traffic app tries its hand at carpooling.
A more literal ride-sharing service than taxi alternatives such as Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc., Waze Carpool lets drivers schedule passenger pickups along their planned routes in exchange for a few bucks worth of gas money from riders, or even to just speed up their commutes with access to the carpool lane.
Riders can book at the last minute or reserve in advance. To discourage cancellations, rider and driver profiles share personal information that the users have agreed to supply from Facebook or LinkedIn.
Self-Driving Car Technology: When Will the Robots hit the Road?
The most recent people targeted for replacement by robots?
Car drivers—one of the most common occupations around the world. Automotive players face a self-driving-car disruption driven largely by the tech industry, and the associated buzz has many consumers expecting their next cars to be fully autonomous.
But a close examination of the technologies required to achieve advanced levels of autonomous driving suggests a significantly longer timeline; such vehicles are perhaps five to ten years away.
