draw fourth game guy series won
This is still the guy who won the fourth game of the World Series for us. I'm not going to draw conclusions from one day.
Once we clinched the division, we got really hot,
along carry catcher control defense everybody felt four game guy holds leader looking pace pitching plan reasons remember staff time
Any time a pitching staff does well, I think the first thing you've got to look at is the defense and right along with that you've got to look at the catching. The catcher holds the brain. He's the guy that everybody is looking at to be the leader and take control of the game and keep that pace going.

competition motivational-sales great-sales
Your competition is EVERYTHING else your prospect could conceivably spend their money on.
selling-more goal priorities
Selling more of what you sell has nothing to do with what you sell. It has everything to do with your prospect's wants, needs, fears, goals, values and priorities.
beyond hoping solid three
I wasn't foreseeing that. I was thinking, hoping we could get three solid performances. So this is beyond what I was expecting,
