Marketing Hints and Tips: Have you made your 2015 sales goal yet?

By Kaitlyn Ersek on Jan 22, 2015 6:30:00 AM

In the year 1979, a study was conducted on students attending a Harvard MBA program. The students were asked, “Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?” The results were as follows:

3% of students had written goals and made plans

13% had goals that weren’t in writing

84% had no specific goals

Ten years later, those students were asked how much they were earning in their careers. The results were amazing!

The 13% of the class who had goals were earning on average 2x as much as those who had no goals.

The 3% that had written goals and plans were earning 10x as much as the other 97% all together.
