Several years ago, as part of our sales team evaluation, the skills, tendencies and effectiveness of the sales leadership team was also assessed. The findings indicated that of the 224 leaders, 23% had at least 60% of the skills required to be an effective performance manger. Of the 5 sales management skill sets required - coaching, motivating, recruiting, mentoring and performance management – this last one, performance management, is where the team “scored” the best.

First impressions are dead. Yup, I said it. If first impressions are still a part of your life, you’re doing it all wrong. There is no reason for anyone to be faced with a first impression any longer. There are just too many places and too much information out there for the first impression to matter. Well, in-person first impressions that is.

Do you want a telltale sign that your demos aren’t very good? Listen to how many times you say “if.” Every time you say “if” deduct 10 points. If you collect 20 or more points, you’re doing a terrible job. That’s how bad it is if you’re using if more than once in your demos. I’m sure many of you are wondering, what does saying “if” have to do with delivering a good demo.

Seth Godin wrote a fantastic post the other day. In it, he talks about our alertness for differences. For as long as we’ve been keeping records, human beings have been on alert for the differences that divide us. Then we fixate on those differences, amplifying them, ascribing all sorts of irrelevant behaviors to them. Until, the next thing you know, we start referring to, “those people.” Seth suggests that rather than look for differences, we should search for things in common.

. After countless phone calls, emails, and written correspondences requesting sponsorship, at least one company agreed to give you the time of day to hear out your proposal. If you fail to make a strong impression after this, then all the work it took you to get to this point will be all for nil. Applying for sponsorship is just the first step; after that comes nurturing and cultivating the relationship so you have a sponsor that you can work with long-term and for subsequent projects.
