There isn’t a single sales manager, sales executive or company president that tells a prospective new hire that the compensation program is poor, there is a lack of support, the company does not occupy a strong position in the market and there is no chance for professional advancement!

What do you do when you f**k up? Do you apologize? Do you get defensive? Do you try to minimize it by avoiding the f**k up altogether? How do you handle it when you or your company screw up? There is only one way to respond when you make a mistake in sales or business, s**t in life, in general, and most people don’t do it right. The majority of people (a simple majority it seems) apologize.

What you cannot see can kill you. If you don't see the car to your right about to run a stop sign you might be in trouble. If you cannot see a clogged artery you might be in trouble. If you cannot see that your sales team is failing to execute the fundamentals of an effective sales approach then surely this will kill your changes for consistent sales growth.

I’m finally going to finish the book American Icon. It's the story of Ford and how Alan Mullaly helped the auto dealer regain its swagger. Time after time Ford and Mulally have to make tough decisions on underperforming business units and automobiles. If the car or unit isn’t performing, if the buying public is no longer buying and if the manager of the unit isn’t getting progress or growth – they get cut.

I’m reading Fast Company magazine this morning and realize I don’t get out of it what I used to. It’s probably a combination of how I’ve changed, how our company has changed and how the magazine has changed. This got me thinking about articles I’ve ready about how selling has changed and the ‘keys’ to selling in today’s market.

Let me flip the script on you here. I want you to stop thinking about questions when it comes to selling. I don’t want you thinking about what you want to ask your prospects or customers. Try and abandon the notion of asking questions for just a little bit. Now that you’re not thinking about what questions you’d like to ask prospects and buyers, what are you focusing on?

Do you know the difference between a good sales leader and a GREAT sales leader? [link]. What does a GREAT sales leader do that a good one doesn’t? If you’re lucky, you’ve worked for a least one GREAT sales leader, but have you ever stopped asked why she was GREAT and not just good? In most cases we will say it’s because they had vision or were good communicators or because they were great sales people, or because they are fun to be around or they were good motivators.

If you’re serious about improving your status as a sales professional, if you’re looking for a way to put your career on the fast track, start a sales blog. A good sales blog is a competition killer. It’s a first class seat on the career fast track. Here’s why. Imagine you have a repository of hundreds or even thousands of your ideas, insights, processes and approaches to sales in a place where the world can access them.

Why should I be excited to work for you? No, really. Why? Why work for you as opposed to any other sales leader out there? Please- whatever you do, don’t tell me it’s because you’re a good guy or girl, fun to work with and because you support your team. It will make me throw up in my mouth. [link]. I need more than that. And frankly; so do you.

There is a stat out there we see often. It’s the stat that says most buyers are 60% through the sales cycle before they reach out to a salesperson. This is a sucker’s stat. Good sales people don’t wait until a buyer needs their service or has a problem before they try and sell them. Good sales people create demand, they don’t react to demand.

Take 12 of #heykeenan is out. This one was quick and dirty. We got some great questions. In this take I share my thoughts on the appropriate ratio between emails and phone calls, my strategy on finding “A” players and how to engage with a prospect in an empowering way, not an intrusive way. Do you have a question you want me to answer?

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

I was talking to a young entrepreneur earlier today. We were talking about the progress she was making in her business. She’s killing it. Her most recent “big” win was a deal with the Red Sox. This girl is smart, driven and a hustler, and she’s done amazing things in a tough retail business. As we were talking, I couldn’t help but notice a very common theme in her dialog.
