Why Doing the Little Things Sets You Apart: Sales Lessons from Neil Rogers | Ep 114

How Small Habits and Ownership Build Legendary Business Results with Neil Rogers.

On this episode of the Social Chameleon Show, I sit down with Neil Rogers, VP of Sales at Rogers Marketing, co-founder of Positive Activity, and author of “Bar Tips: Everything I Need to Know in Sales I Learned Behind the Bar.” With decades of experience in sales, marketing, and hospitality, Neil brings a unique perspective on how small, consistent habits shape success, from showing up on time to the power of a proper greeting.

Neil shares candid stories from his early days behind the bar in Boston and explains how those lessons in listening, ownership, and empathy still drive his leadership style and business approach. The conversation touches on practical ways to handle mistakes, the importance of humility over ego, and why being proactive, organized, and genuine helps you stand out in any field.

You’ll walk away with actionable ideas for improving your daily interactions, building meaningful relationships in business, and practicing a form of “rational optimism” that keeps you moving forward even when things get tough. Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned professional looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is filled with simple, real-world tips to help you rise above the crowd.
