Salespeople and sales organizations work very hard to differentiate themselves and their offerings as a way to create a competitive advantage. Many believe their company is the differentiation. Others think their solutions provide differentiation. Few would dare to describe their people as their competitive advantage, even when it is true. Even fewer would recognize caring as their competitive advantage and the superpower that it is in an age of commoditization and the conflation of everything t

Your San Antonio Dentists
NOVEMBER 27, 2019
A lot of people are scared of visiting their dentist in San Antonio. They worry about experiencing pain, panic, or discomfort while receiving treatment in the dentist’s chair. It’s a fear that can stop them from attending the dentist at all, leading to more severe dental issues in the future. . The great thing about modern dentistry, however, is that it has found ways of bypassing patient’s fears and helping to make the experience much more pleasant.

Désolé pour ce titre quelque peu rageur ! Mais je n’en peux plus d’entendre les points de vue négatifs sur le RGPD que certains prétendus “professionnels” font passer pour vrais. Je reviens du WTM où des dizaines d’hôteliers m’ont dit avoir arrêté leurs campagnes de fidélisation parce qu’ils n’avaient plus le droit d’envoyer d’e-mailings à leurs propres clients.

You are always telling yourself and others stories. Those stories include the meaning you attach to your thoughts, beliefs, and experiences, and you may frame them as positive or negative or neutral. How you frame your views, beliefs, and experiences largely determine your overall mindset. It also plays a massive role in your overall success and well-being.

A lesson learned the summer after I nearly failed English 101 over Lord Tennyson’s poem, “The Brook.” My teacher challenged my classmates and I to read the poem to ourselves. “Euphony,” my teacher professed, was the magic of the poem, and our final was to tell the class what we heard as we read it.

Every week I receive an InMail or a connection request on LinkedIn from a person who describes them as a “high ticket closer,” an inaccurate description of both the individual and their skill set. Also not something a salesperson should ever strive to become. First, let’s dispatch with the idea of “high ticket.” The idea that $2,997 is a “high ticket” is an indication that the person describing themselves in this way is not a “high ticket” anything, that number being minuscule.

Desire to Win : You aren’t going to win if you can live with a loss. You are not going to win if there isn’t something burning inside you. The burning desire is the starting point of winning. You have to want it like you want your next breath. You have to feel it, like a hunger , an unquenchable, insatiable need, one that isn’t easily going to be assuaged.

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

Some salespeople still open the first meeting with a prospective client by sharing their company’s history as a way of establishing the right to be in the room with a decision-maker. They’ll also share the company’s locations and the names and pictures of the people who make up their leadership team. After proving their company is stable and established, they move onto sharing who their clients are, offering the social proof that other companies have chosen to work with them.

We tend to think of selling as something one does, as a profession, a set of actions. We believe that anyone motivated to learn to sell can do so, and put our faith in sales processes and methodologies to produce a repeatable result. Now, because selling has fully matured into being other-oriented, we believe the buyer’s process or journey is essential to serving the prospective client, should one hope to succeed.

Zig Ziglar said: “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” It’s a classic line from a legendary speaker. If I had to guess the cause of Zig’s zinger, my money would be that it was his retort to a challenge from a skeptical audience member. I want to take a slightly different view here to make a point.

When people write about the fact that less than fifty-percent of salespeople reach their quota, they often intimate that salespeople are somehow getting worse. Maybe they are getting worse, perhaps they aren’t. But if they are failing, pointing the bony finger of indignation at the salespeople is to avoid placing the blame where it belongs. The lack of growth for most sales organizations starts with a lack of accountability.

If you want something you don’t have, there are several reasons why you are having trouble acquiring it. Lack of Clarity : If you don’t have a very clear picture of what you want, you are not likely to obtain it. You might want more money, but while you might have a few dollars more, it isn’t exactly what you want. You might want a new career, but unless and until you define exactly what that new career needs to provide you, changing your job or your work isn’t likely to give you what you are mi

There is no end to the number of technological tools designed to create efficiency for salespeople and sales organizations. As useful as some of these tools are, there are greater and more challenging inefficiencies that result in poor sales results. Leaving aside the countless things that steal a salesperson’s time and the distractions they allow to steal what’s left, an even larger problem is the inefficiencies in the way they sell.

There are many good reasons to have a sales blitz. If you want to accelerate the creation of new opportunities, an intense focus on increased activity can ramp up the number of conversations, meetings, and, ultimately, new opportunities. If you have an initiative that is time sensitive, applying more resources, more time, and more energy to communicating that opportunity with your clients and prospects provides another good reason to have a sales blitz.

The amount of time you spend on the very few activities necessary to achieve a goal or a specific outcome is one way to measure how important is the goal , and how serious you are about making it. It is easier to want something than it is to bring that thing to life. More time spent in pursuit of what’s most important is proof that you are willing to do the work necessary to reach your goal.

I first wrote about this competency in early 2010. If you are in the field selling, it isn’t difficult to determine what clients want and need from the people outside their company that they are considering making part of their team. It is also apparent that competencies that are missing cause them to look elsewhere for what they recognize by its absence.

There is tremendous value in outcomes-based thinking. One of the reasons people struggle to produce the results they’re capable of is that they lack goals, and a focus on the outcome. For example, maybe you want to win a new deal. But you don’t win a deal. Instead, you do all the things necessary to produce the outcomes that eventually result in a prospective client signing a document that makes them an actual client.

Success is an auditor. It measures the precursors to success to determine who gets to obtain it—and for how long. It is quite often that people misunderstand what success is measuring, mistaking luck and circumstances, things outside of their control with the things that are within their control. Talent : Some believe that talent is what is necessary for success.

If you look at people who produce excellent results and lead their field, if you pay attention and look closely, you will notice that they do the hard things that others seek to avoid. If you look a bit longer and quite a bit deeper, you may catch a glimpse of why they choose to do hard things. What you will notice is that doing hard things prevents them from suffering the adverse outcomes most others experience.
