'I was born to be a coach. I have a bias towards coaching. I spent my youth playing for great coaches and for some "not so great" coaches. Even so, I improved as a player as a result of both types of coaches. Coach Vince wasn''t much of a technical coach, nor was he great at strategy. He excelled as a position coach; but, more importantly, he helped my get my head in the game prior to each game for 3 straight years at Hammonton High School.

'Sales isn’t easy. It if were, trust me, everyone would be doing it. It amazes me how so many non sales people in an organization think sales is some sort of lottery ticket , where sales people sit around making mounds of money they didn’t deserve. BTW: I always welcome those people to put 1/2 their salary on the line and join the ranks of sales.

'Price “should” have a direct correlation to value. The right value drives the right price. The higher the perceived value, the higher the acceptable price. The lower the perceived value, the lower tolerance for price. It’s really simple. If you want to keep your prospects and customers buying, make sure the value in what your selling is commiserate with what they are paying AND that they see it.

'If you didn’t make quota, own it. If you lost the deal, own it. If the customer is threatening to leave over price, own it. It you missed your forecast, own it. If the competition is creeping into the account, own it. If your pipeline isn’t big enough, own it. If you don’t understand your customer’s business very well, own it.

'A lot of s**t goes into CRM’s. Sometimes useful stuff, other times not so much. Sometimes a sales person CRM is full with valuable information, as they are diligent in logging their activities and keeping the opportunity up to date. Other times, it’s like pulling teeth to get the sales person to put anything into the CRM. The opportunities look like NYC clubs at 5 in the morning, there is s**t everywhere, but there is no one around.

'I’m seeing an alarming trend in sales. I call it a trend, but it may not be as much a trend as it is a systemic problem. I’m noticing that sales people are amazingly slow to adapt and are rather stubborn really. As someone who lives in the world of social, I’m realizing it’s easy to be lulled into the idea that most people are leveraging social and many of the new selling concepts, but the truth is, they’re not.

I’ve learned that the more exposure I get, the more thick my skin needs to be. Everyone has an opinion. Opinions are great, but not all opinions make a difference.

'What do you touch that turns to gold? An answer to that simple question is the key to your success in sales, business, relationships and. s**t let’s just say life in general. Do you remember who King Midas was? King Midas was the cat who wished that everything he touched turned to gold.

Companies all over the world, including Marriot International and Hilton Worldwide, are aware of the value of including DEI in their talent acquisition strategy.

'Last week I went to the Sales 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. It was my first one in at least a year and I’m glad I went. They’ve turned it up a notch and it was nice to see. The Sales 2.0 Conference has had the reputation of being an old school, vendor centric conference, filled with more people selling than people buying. It’s been known for keynotes and speaking sessions being more glorified “pitches” than actual learning sessions, but this time was different.
