Focus, Focus, Focus

Selling is a lot like driving. The difference between those who drive for performance and those who don’t is all in how they prepare, plan and focus. Today we are going to talk about focus.
What do you focus on when you are selling? When I ask that question, I get a lot of different answers.
Some say, I focus on what I am going to say or what I am going to present.
Others say, I focus on what I am going to tell them along with my product knowledge.
System Detects Driver’s Symptoms of Fatigue and Prevents Traffic Accidents
Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) have designed a new low-cost system that detects the drivers' symptoms of fatigue and distraction and helps prevent possible traffic accidents.
The system consists of four sensors that monitor different physical parameters of the driver and their position at the wheel.
From these values, the system is able to generate a series of acoustic signals if it detects some risk, thus alerting the driver and avoiding a possible accident.
SF Slows Down Charge Toward Electric Vehicles
Facing sticker shock, San Francisco on Thursday pushed off the proposed deadline to replace polluting sedans driven around by city employees with zero-emission electric vehicles until 2022.
The initial 2020 deadline proposed in Supervisor Katy Tang’s electric vehicle requirement legislation was seemingly out of reach, according to a report on the proposal by the budget analyst.
The report found it would cost tens of millions of dollars to buy electric cars and install needed charging stations, and require a significant ramp-up in the offloading and purchasing of fleet vehicles.
Survey Says: Kids These Days Aren’t so into Electric or Autonomous Vehicles
Conventional wisdom has kind of assumed that old fogies are afraid of self-driving cars and suffer from crippling range anxiety when it comes to EVs.
Those youngsters, though, are all about autonomous electric cars — computers on wheels, if you will, that chauffeur them about town. But a new massive survey from Driving-Tests.org (DTO, for short) says otherwise. Not about the fogies — they’re still afraid of self-driving electric cars — but about the kids.
They don’t really like them either.
