. Sales is suffering from 9 brutal ills: The Bro Culture , . Lack of Coaching. . Too Product-Centric. Not enough salespeople understand the game/rules of sales. Too much reliance on selling tools. Not enough training in the industry/space. Too much activity management. Little respect for prospects and buyers time. Not enough humility. I tackled the Bro-Culture in the first of this series because I feel culture is critical to change.

Not Knowing What You Want : Your success is not my success , nor mine yours. The way you measure success needs to be based on what it is you want from your life. You cannot find success unless you know what it is you want. So, what do you want? Not Having Goals : You can never hit a target you cannot see. Without goals , you will drift, allowing life to shift you this way and that.

And with each survey and stat, we learn a little bit more about how all of us can come together to create better face-to-face events.

The sales manager was speaking to his young business development representative about his results and his activity. The results weren’t there, and the activity was low, and certainly lower than the sales manager expected. When the sales manager asked the BDR why he didn’t have better results and greater activity, the salesperson told him that he was used to being held accountable for these things.

However, despite these initiatives, there is still plenty that the hospitality sector can do to promote DEI.

You might say, “We need to be profitable. We need a win-win deal.” As much as I agree with the statement, it isn’t what you say as much as how you say it. You might be better off saying, “We want to make sure you achieve the outcomes we’ve discussed up to this point, and we don’t want you to invest more or less than you need to. Can I go back over the investments we are going to make to ensure you achieve your goals?”.

No one ever said that being a good leader was easy. A leader’s actions are constantly scrutinized and their leadership qualities help get them through good times and bad. Employees look up to, respect and work very hard for these qualities – which is why it’s so important for every great leader to work hard to hone their leadership qualities. Leaders Overcommunicate.

Your present cannot in any way impact your past, but your past can—and will—impact your future. Nothing you do today is going to change your past. Our perception of time flows only in one direction. There is an old saying that we are “too soon old and too late wise.” There is no way to reclaim lost time or relive a moment in time where you made a decision you now want to take back.

While healthy deals tend to come with activity and energy, deals can also be weak and sickly, lacking energy and acting and failing to thrive. Eventually, some deals die.

When you enter a win or a loss into your CRM, you are often asked to type a note of explanation of the outcome you chose. There is rarely enough room for any significant account, but it would be rare for that answer to be accurate, regardless of your note. You Don’t How You Won.
