'I was first introduced to goal setting in sales when I was an insurance agent with National Life of Vermont. The General Agent was Dave and his manager was Bob. The company subscribed to the “Al Grannum” school of 10-3-1 - see 10 people, 3 will be qualified buyers, 1 will buy. Based on that equation, the established goal was to write 100 lives. You do the math.

'“No, we’re all set.” “We’re happy with what we have.” “We’re not looking to change at this time.” How often have you heard these words come out of a buyers mouth? Nobody wants to hear these words. They stop sales people in their tracks. Why? Because, for most sales people, if the prospect already has what you’re selling then why “push” them on something.

'Ever wonder if your sales people are really listening to you? Do they respond and react. or do they sit politely listening and then continue to do what they’ve always done? As a sales manager or sales executive, you have many roles to fill in order to get the most out of your sales team. You must coach them, you must motivate them, you must have some level of performance management and, in some way for some of them, you must mentor them.

'I just spent the last five days with my client and good friend, Ric Stoakes, from Lincoln, Nebraska. In addition to being a principle at the UNICO Group, he is an avid traveler and “a nutcase of a Nebraska Football Fan”. If you spent enough time in Lincoln, you would soon discover that “a nutcase of a Nebraska Football Fan” is not a group of one. From Tuesday through Friday, I spent time with him, his sales team and other partners in the firm.

'There is nothing more frustrating to a sales person than when a client goes dark. Your last conversation was killer, you both agreed that your solution made sense. The prospect said they needed to; share it with their team, run the numbers, look at another solution, run it past IT, work with H.R., make a recommendation or any other “next step.” ( great video on how to sell the “next step” within a sales cycle).

'We’re hiring at A Sales Guy. It’s been a VERY painful process. Finding good people is hard. A Sales Guy has a very unique culture in that we look for and embrace the gritty, cool, nerd who can SELL! And, when I say nerd, I mean nerd, not dork. There are way too many dorks in sales. We’re not interested in the dork or the douchebag.

'I’ve talked frequently on this blog about how product has surpassed sales in driving revenue. As much as sales people don’t want to admit it and as much as many companies don’t want to admit it, the change has occurred and ignoring it won’t change things. There is too much information available to consumers about products and services that deficiencies, lack of features, poor service etc., can not be overcome by even the best sales people in the world.

'Outlook ( n). A View: a pleasant view, a person’s point of view. If you were looking out on the street and saw -20 degree weather, ten feet of snow, and no sun, do you go running out? If a small restaurant is tucked away in a small dark alley in a bad neighborhood, do you go in? If you’re looking out onto a pristine white sandy beach, with beautiful crystal blue water, do you burst out the door in glee?

Companies all over the world, including Marriot International and Hilton Worldwide, are aware of the value of including DEI in their talent acquisition strategy. However, despite these initiatives, there is still plenty that the hospitality sector can do to promote DEI. When comparing the hospitality industries in India, Iraq, the UK, and the US, you will see that there is a consistent underrepresentation of persons from different ethnic, gender, and disability origins across all levels of the i
