Let’s start with the premise that we all have at least 1 bad habit. As I stated in a previous article about habits, a bad habit is one that takes you away or keeps you from accomplishing your objectives and goals. We all have at least 1. With that in mind, let’s assume that even your best sales people have a habit or two that, if identified and corrected, would help them sell more, be more productive or more effective.

I was reading this killer post the other day, and it got me thinking. The post addressed what we do in our free time, but it was this quote that got my synapses firing: Decide when you are consuming and when you are creating. As I read it, I was struck by the simplicity of the statement, but even more by the power of its implication. It implies that everyone creates or consumes, and it’s this assertion that had my mind going crazy.

Le montant des commissions payées par les hôteliers indépendants est un des grands sujets de débat depuis plusieurs années. Cette controverse reste toujours d’actualité car personne n’a jamais pu prendre de décision claire et ferme face à des choix comme : Fermer le planning des OTA et ne plus payer de commissions, au risque de voir son TO faire une chute libre Monter son PM pour “amortir” la commission des OTA, au risque de voir son TO baisser proportionnellement Utiliser les OTA à la limite du

I’m going to skip over beliefs and skills today because, when I started thinking about this post, I decided I wanted to write about habits. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle. About 6 weeks ago, maybe longer than that, I developed a new habit – not blogging. It was an easy habit to develop. One day, I didn’t post a blog, and then I didn’t post one the next day, or the next, or the next and, the next thing you know, it’s June 1 st.

I had no idea about beliefs and the relationship between my beliefs and how I executed as a sales person until I was introduced to the Objective Management Group Sales Person Evaluation Tool. That was about 21 years ago. Most of what we teach and coach at Anthony Cole Training Group regarding beliefs, selling and sales success is a result of our relationship with the OMG company and the use of their extraordinary evaluation tools.

When I teach skiing, one of the most difficult expectations I have to set with my clients is, Rome wasn’t built in a day. There is only so much they can learn in a day or a week. In spite of my efforts to set their expectations, they almost always want massive gains. They want to ski moguls like a pro. They want to control their speed on blacks.

You ever wonder why deals can go south so quick, for no apparent reason? Have you ever had a deal that seemed like it was cruising along perfectly when boom, it falls apart. Objections start flying from leftfield; the prospect becomes erratic, they stop meeting commitments, they keep changing their mind and deadlines start slipping. This craziness is usually the result of too much emotion getting into the sales cycle.

Everyone is a salesperson, or a teacher, or a doctor or a truck driver, or mechanic, or a waiter, or a recruiter, or a Vice President, or a developer or a something. Everyone is something. That’s obvious. When we first meet people, one of the first questions we’re often asked is; “What do you do for a living?” We always seem answer it right too.

I decided to spend my summer learning something I’ve never done before. Summers are great for this kind of thing. We seem to have a bit more time than the rest of the year. Summers are time boxed. For some reason, we look at summer different than all the other seasons. We’re obsessed with the beginning and the end of the summer season. Therefore, I made the commitment to learn to do a Mute Grab 360.

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

My friend and sales guru Dan Waldschmidt inspired me. He ran a 100-mile ultimate marathon recently, so I woke up this morning and decided to go for a run. Seemed liked a good idea at the time. Here’s the problem. I haven’t run in over 10 years, at least. No, I’m not joking. I haven’t run more than 40 yards in over 10 years. Realizing how long it’s been, I set a very low goal — 1 mile.

If another person marches out the tired old phrase “people buy from people they like.” I’m going to throw up in my mouth. This phrase is the dumbest and most detrimental phrase to selling. It’s a shallow, stupid, simplistic thesis. A thesis one too many people use as the basis for their own selling philosophy. Ya, ya, ya, people buy from people they like, no s**t.
