A year ago tomorrow, I was released from University Hospital here in Cincinnati. Doctors Augsburger and Correa had performed radioactive plaque surgery on my right eye. The plaque stayed attached to my right eye for 5 days with a lead eye patch covering it. I was confined to a lead lined room. On the 25 th , they removed the plaque (disc), sutured the eye and then sent me home for recovery.

Sales isn’t something you do to someone. It’s something you do for someone. Everything changes when we put the customer first. When their problems, issues, challenges become our primary focus, we stop doing something to our prospects and start doing something for them. That something. Is fixing a broken system, it’s finding more money for capital improvements, that something is helping them compete better, that something is helping them deliver more for less, that something is

Il existe des centaines de milliers d’outils sur le Web pour analyser tous les critères possibles et imaginables. Mais 1) tous ne sont pas immanquablement bons et 2) certains sont effectivement excellents mais peuvent être bien trop compliqués à saisir et utiliser. En tant qu’hôteliers, votre métier n’est pas de passer des heures à disséquer des statistiques et des outils marketing.

Growing sales depends on the ability to know the answers to the right questions. Often companies make a decision to invest in their people in order to improve performance. Sometimes the investment pays off: other times, not so much.

Too often sales leaders dismiss the rumblings from their sales people are whining and complaining and as excuses for not being able to sell. In Spazz Out 7, I rant on why that’s a big mistake and what can happen if they do. Sales people are on the front lines, they know what’s going one. Ignore them at our own peril. Do you have a Spazz Out topic you want me to hit?

I’m sure most of you have already seen this meme #firstsevenjobs going around on Twitter and Facebook. I hate these types of memes. Prolly because I didn’t come up with the original idea, and I hate feeling like a copycat, or a sheep. I know, I’ve got issues. After reading a few, including my friend Fred Wilson’s list, it got me thinking.

What are your “blind-spots?” Do you have any? How do you know? In personal development, a blind spot is, when people see things in you, you don’t see in you. The only way to avoid blind spots is to embrace feedback. Being defensive dismisses feedback and is the fastest path to failure. You have to be open to feedback. What are your blind spots?

Hustle and grit are thrown around a lot in the sales world but what does it really mean? I know personally, it’s a trait I look for when hiring sales people. Sales requires a little extra tenacity and hustle than many other jobs. Salespeople are constantly being told NO! We’re confronted with gatekeepers, non-believers, objections, competitors, and more.

Guys, I want you to meet Morgan Ingram. Morgan is a stud. Morgan started a YouTube Channel for SDR’s called the SDR Chronicles, and it’s fantastic. Morgan got on my radar because he reached out to me via LinkedIn and because someone tweeted his YouTube channel at me. Ya, gotta love social. Morgan is killing it. He’s doing everything right to be a winner in today’s world.

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

You have to be passionate to sell. You have to have conviction to sell what you sell. The problem happens when the passionate conviction takes over. A good friend asked me to meet someone about a new business venture they were involved in. Reluctantly (I get a lot of these requests), I looked at his website, and did a little research and agreed. We had a 30 minute phone conversation.

It’s time for salespeople to stop wasting their prospects time. It’s time sales people stop sending out emails and leaving messages asking for just 15 minutes of a prospects time and offering nothing in return. This Spazz Out was easy, as I had just received one of those irritating email asking for my time. Stop wasting your prospects time.

At a Sales Guy we have a unique job search approach. We look for resourceful, outside of the box, creative, driven thinkers who can get things done. We don’t look for people who do things like everyone else and who are looking to be told how to do things. Our job postings have very specific instructions and for the life of us, we don’t understand why only 10% of applicants follow the instructions.

A little while back I spoke in Austin at the #FlipMyFunnel conference. It was an Account Based Marketing (ABM) conference. ABM is hot right now. I see a lot of organization implementing it, including a number of my clients. In spite of the power of ABM, and the tools, methodologies etc, messaging is still a critical part of sales and ABM. Unfortunately, too many people miss the mark on Account Based Marketing messaging and they let their ego get in the way.

Zig Zigler is the man, he’s earned my respect and everyone’s respect for his contributions to the sales world. But I just couldn’t help myself when it came to this quote. Although a great quote, I think it’s a bit dated. We’re in the information age of the 21st-Century and fewer and fewer people care about how much you do.
