Tip: Pick one day each month that you have your in-house fun event and leave it up to your team. Give them a budget and tell them to come up with a few ideas “within reason.” You’d be amazed at the collaboration that happens for the event that probably translates into a really great environment when they have to collaborate during working hours!

Friday Mental health break: In case you missed it, our photographer Andrew Maclean captured a beautiful shot of the Space Shuttle Enterprise getting a lift past our offices at 7 World Trade Center in Manhattan earlier Friday. It’s sparked something of a mini-meme. Our take includes SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and a cameo by Virgin Galactic’s founder, Richard Branson.

8 Ways to Build Customer Loyalty:

1. Have a sales philosophy that emphasizes relationship building.

2. Define a unique niche and become the customer’s expert on it.

3. Help the customer build the customer’s own business.

4. Translate what you offer into the customer’s business results.

5. Value the relationship more than making your quota.

6. Think end-of-time friendships, not end-of-month totals.

7. Achieve a perfect job of delivering what you’ve promised.

8. Provide absolutely impeccable service after the sale.

"When we are tired, our performance doesn’t degrade equally. Instead, when you lose a..."

“When we are tired, our performance doesn’t degrade equally. Instead, when you lose a night’s sleep, the parietal and occipital lobes in your brain become less active. The parietal lobe integrates information from the senses and is involved in our knowledge of numbers and manipulation of objects. The occipital lobe is involved in visual processing. So the parts of our mind responsible for understanding the world and the data around us start to slow down. This is because the brain is prioritizing the thalamus—the part of your brain responsible for keeping you awake. In evolutionary terms, this makes sense. If you’re driven to find food, you need to stay awake and search, not compare recipes.”
