'Once again, I’m flooded with stuff happening around me that has nothing or very little to do directly with sales… and I cannot help myself but to connect these thoughts and events to what I love to do – coach and teach sales and sales management. I think it was 1992 when Pat Riley, as part of a speaker’s event, came to Cincinnati and spoke at the convention center.

Considering what’s happening in Ferguson, I wanted to take a sales time out to break down for all ya’ll why Ferguson is happening, because as much as you’d like to think you know, you don’t. You have no clue.

'In the world of SaaS and cloud solutions, the demo is everything. As the demo goes, so goes the sale. Give a shitty demo, and you’re not gonna get the sale. Give a good demo, and you’ve just increased the chances closing the deal. Give a killer demo and get ready to cash your fat commission check and prepare for Presidents Club.

'I just stumbled across this from Forrester Research. It’s appalling, and unfortunately way too true. I have argued since day one, that it’s not about the product or what you’re selling. It’s all about the customer and what the customer wants. Unfortunately, it appears sales people aren’t getting the message. Notice the abysmal response percentages for the MOST CRITICAL elements of selling.

'I’ve spent a lot of time with a lot of sales people and one of the biggest problems I see is rarely, too rarely, do sales people know when a deal is ready to close.

'Let me drop a little mad wisdom to kick off this post. We’re not supposed to win every sale and if that’s the attitude you take into selling, as a manager or as a sales person, you’re a shitty sales person.

'As a sales leader and a life long sales guy, I’m prolly the worst person in the world a sales person can to sell to. I can’t help myself, but I critique everything the sales person does.

'I’ve written a lot about grammar and grammar nazis. If you’re a regular reader of this blog you know I’m not the best editor and my spelling and grammar here are suspect to criticism. With that said, my issue with grammar has never been that it doesn’t matter as much is that it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t detract from the message or story.
