Does it say something like, "we are the leading producer of …" or something similar? If so, you're not alone. Guess what? No one cares. Customers care if your solutions will solve their problem. If it can't, then all of these self-serving proclamations are not worth the paper they are printed on.</description><author> Jeremy Miller</author><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:14:39 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Dangers of Too Much Positive Thinking</title><Category>Motivation</Category><link>http://cpsa.com/newsletters/articleread.aspx?articleid=244</link><description>Every company, salesperson, buyer, marketplace, solution, and competitor has inherent
strengths and weaknesses. The goal of the major account managers is to be able to
build a solid strategy for each major account by emphasizing their strengths and

reluctant to pay any attention to their weaknesses given the belief that whatever we
focus on is what we get.
