The following list of ideas about training salespeople is for those in B2B sales training or who aspire to train others. Many ideas come from my experience as a person being trained to sell, with a few coming from watching others, and more from my own experiences. Respect the Sales Force’s Experience: I once watched a sales trainer explain to the people in his training that the way they were selling was wrong, that it needed to change, or they would continue to struggle.

One of the critically important, yet neglected, concepts in sales is the idea of “ creating a preference ” to buy from you and your company. Not only do you need to create a desire to work with you, but you must also create a preference for your solution and all that that entails. Without meaning to, a high focus on “product” can cause people to believe that sharing their solution is how they are going to win.

Dental veneers (sometimes known as porcelain laminates) are one of, if not the best solution to most dental problems – particularly those that are aesthetic in nature. Below are some facts that attest to this: Veneer installation is irreversible, painless and gives a natural look. It can also withstand the effects of most diets. Some dentists agree that porcelain veneers look and feel less bulky than lumineers (composite veneers), even though lumineers are actually thinner than porcelain.

The neophiliac is one who loves what is new and novel, finding what’s new and now to be more valuable than what came before it. One can, however, take this preference to an extreme, believing that something new and novel is better than old things, a common mistake when one is young and resists the idea that because something is old it isn’t valuable.

Twenty-six weeks is a lot of time. That number multiplied by five working days minus six holidays gives you one hundred and twenty-four working days. That’s enough time to rack up a tremendous amount of accomplishments. The variable is what you decide to do with the time you have available to you. Some are going to decide their year is shot by this point because of the crisis.

The question as to which prospecting method is the most effective can be answered in two ways. The first answer is that cold calling is the fastest and most direct method to acquire a meeting in B2B sales, even though many salespeople wrongly believe that email alone is a better choice. The second, and more important answer, is that the most effective approach now takes a longer view of the problem of gaining appointments with your targeted clients.

What makes a call “ cold ” is that the person you are calling is not expecting your call. Because they are not expecting your call, you interrupt their day, even if they aren’t doing anything important when you call them. You can never know who you are calling, and even looking at Linkedin before dialing the phone doesn’t provide any information about their general disposition or their current mood.

There can be no doubt that making an effective cold call isn’t easy. It isn’t easy to get the contacts that work for your dream client’s company to answer the phone, let alone agree to a meeting.

Most of the activities around sales are necessary (some more than others) but don’t improve your sales results. Sales results are only generated by creating and winning new opportunities. You can easily spend too much time on things outside of opportunity creation and opportunity capture. Better sales results start with your spending more time selling.

The whole social distancing thing hasn’t been great for salespeople or their clients. But the distancing started long before the global pandemic of 2020. It started when we began to expect that the tools would somehow replace face-to-face human interactions. The more important the outcome, the less transactional you should be in sales. The more important your client believes the outcome to be, the less transactional they will want you to be.
