In this article, we discuss the similarities between Super Mario World and life in sales. After playing, I realized that I had an opportunity to make it through to the next level but I wasn’t doing what was necessary to convert that opportunity into a win. I rushed through. I took risks that weren’t worth it, but I made them anyway, because it was the only play I had.

If what you want wasn’t difficult to achieve or obtain, it most likely wouldn’t be worth wanting in the first place. If it wasn’t going to take more effort over more time than you believed necessary, and if it didn’t require you to become something more than you are now, there would be no sense of accomplishment for having achieved it. Here is how to not to give up on yourself when things are not what you want them to be.

As noted by Felix Richter of Statista in this excellent article, “ Inverted Yield Curve: An Ominous Sign? “ , the U.S. Treasury yield curve is now inverted; meaning that short-term Treasury bond yields are higher than for longer-term bonds. Richter notes, “In plain terms, the curve is inverting because more people are trying to invest their money in long-term bonds, thereby lowering those bonds’ yields.

When someone says they “hate sales,” you can be confident they don’t work in sales. Those who work in sales don’t feel that way about selling.

Here are the ten reasons you hate sales and some ideas about reframing sales.

Facing stalls and objections throughout the sales process is a common occurrence for many salespeople. What we find is that, often, it is due to ineffective qualifying and not asking for the prospects commitment to take action prior to presenting a solution.

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.

There are many things you need to do well to succeed in sales. Much like leadership, the characteristics are many and varied. There are also variables, some within your control, and many outside of it. It rarely makes sense to worry about things outside your control when there are so many more that are within it. The following is a list of powerfully influential variables to your success in sales.

Some people avoid change. They wait too long to decide to change and suffer the consequences or pretend to change without any meaningful difference in what they do day-to-day. For any number of reasons, be it apathy, complacency, negligence, or not wanting to deal with the work required of real change, they maintain the status quo for too long. To help them, you may need to find leverage points that help compel change.

The CEO of the company I grew up in would often chastise employees for walking past a small scrap of paper on the floor. She knew you saw the debris and walked by it without making the little effort of throwing it away. She would confront the person directly, asking them to pick it up and throw it away. If you would ignore the environment, you’d ignore all kinds of other things.

The excuse many of us make for not doing what we know we should be doing is, “I don’t have time.” The truth is just the opposite. Time is the only thing you have. Whether you have enough of it is mostly a matter of what you do with it. If you wish you had more time, here is how you make more time. Determine Your Priorities. The very best way to ensure you have enough time for what’s most important is to determine your priorities (or discover them).

The definition of the word “hustle” (as I know it) includes the idea of working with a sense of urgency. The word hustle has lost something. Now it is used to describe entrepreneurial behavior or endeavors. Many of these endeavors die from the very lack of hustle necessary to acquire enough clients or customers fast enough to survive. There is little sense of urgency, and much of our actions now show up in mediums like email instead of more powerful—and more useful–mediums.

The four levels of value provide an orienting generalization that gives guidance on what your dream clients value. Because value is in the eye of the beholder, creating value means providing something your client perceives as value ( for a primer on value creation, read this post ). The four levels also offer a way to think about winning big clients.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

The single question I hear most often from salespeople is, “ How do I compel my prospective client to take action ?” We have to unpack this a bit to explore what’s behind this question. You can compel your client to take action, but much of what salespeople believe is compelling doesn’t achieve the outcome. You Have Lost Control. One of the reasons for the question as to how you compel your dream client to change is your having lost control over the process—if you ever had it at all.

Nothing that was once necessary for sales has disappeared, despite what the pundits and prognosticators suggest on the internet. Had they been right in their past predictions, there would no longer be nearly so many salespeople. Nor would those salespeople still use telephones. Instead, selling continues to evolve, transcending and including what came before, and increasingly creating more value along the way.

The following sales strategies are generally underrated, overlooked, or ignored. In some cases, they are highly unpopular in a world that is enamored with transactions , immediate gratification, and technologies that promise efficiency , a promise that is mostly a lie. These four strategies are also battle-tested, which is to say, have passed the test and created a competitive advantage.

The score you see written on the scoreboard is always accurate. It will never protect your feelings, nor does it have the power to change the score it presents to you. Your scoreboard only tells you the full truth. About Your Theories and Beliefs. You might believe with all your heart that you should be able to generate a result in a certain. The theory you have about what is necessary to create the result seems perfectly reasonable to you.
