Norm Brodsky is one of my heroes. We met about ten years ago, before he sold City Storage. I copied some of his stuff immediately: keeping the bonus plan game-like and super-simple, bringing prospects to the office for an 85%+ close rate. Norm’s contributed heeps to the art of business. He evangelizes and educates through speeches, his Inc column, and his two books. He and Rob Levin host Scotch night, one of my favorite gatherings. He’s given back hugely to Brooklyn, starting with hiring and training locals and giving back to his then-struggling now-booming community of Williamsburg. He believes that you can learn business. My kind of guy!
Norm says his “one” business superpower is spotting trends...
