In this blog, we discuss what it takes to differentiate yourself as a salesperson in the market today, and how sales and politics can often be similar. As the public tends to avoid political candidates that sound like all of the rest, the same can be said in sales.

You have existing clients that need your time and attention. You also need to prospect. Your current clients need things now, and you need to communicate with them to help them—and retain them. Because they have needs you need to address now, you neglect prospecting and creating new opportunities. You may not pay the penalty for having not prospected until some time in the future, but eventually, know for sure that you will indeed pay.

There’s no doubt about it. When it comes to sales, the fortune is in the follow-up. We can invite heaps of people to our hotel or venue for site inspections or famils. We can farm out proposals left, right and centre. But when it comes to closing the sale and confirming the business, follow-up is often the key. But often follow-up calls can be seen as too aggressive or spammy.

Much of what I write here is going to be anathema to a particular variety of sales experts and those who read too much into the idea that relationships are no longer critical in sales. Much of the dominant opinion that relationships don’t matter in sales stems from the book, The Challenger Sale. But were you to ask the authors, they would tell you that “challengers” had the second-highest score on relationships, and it was just a smidge behind “challenging.

You will inevitably run into clients who, as Oscar Wilde described the cynic, “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” These prospective clients view everything through the narrowest possible lens, believing that a lower price is value. Of course, you can avoid those prospects who are blind to the real value you create, but what fun would that be?

Current interest rates are at historic lows. Yesterday, the Federal Reserve cut the Prime rate to 4.75% and the 10-Year Treasury has been hovering around 1.7% to 1.8%. However, The Fed has indicated that it will pause any further rate cuts in the near term. Meanwhile, hotel values are strong, and hotel lenders are offering very competitive terms. CMBS loans offer numerous advantages to hotel borrowers; such as the ability to fix a low interest rate for a 5, 7, or 10-year term.

The statistics on employee engagement are not good. They often show that a large part of the workforce as actively disengaged, and many passively seeking a new opportunity. Much of what people write about employee engagement puts the onus on the employee, an unfair assessment, even when considering the negative social media filter bubbles and a general increasing sense of nihilism in our post-modern culture.

One of the reasons you might not be as productive as you want to be is because the idea isn’t well defined. Many people who believe they are productive, are not. Not To-Dos. It is not crossing off tasks off a to-do list. No matter how many tasks you complete during a given day, you still may not have been productive with your time. You might have cleaned your desk and cleaned up the files on your desktop before you started work.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have had occasion to watch and listen to salespeople enter the conversation from the Left. They start a conversation with their prospective clients with a story about t heir company and how their product might help the client.

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.

If what you sell requires you demo for your prospective clients, the following eight laws will allow you to rule your demo—and improve your odds of winning. A Demo is a Sales Call. The first—and most important—law when giving a demo is to operate as if it is a sales call (because it is a sales call).

Many people leave a job believing they will be leaving their problems only to find the same challenges somewhere else. When this isn’t true, the person who goes because they think it will be easier to work somewhere else is often surprised to find different—but equally difficult—circumstances. It’s easy to believe that things are better across the street, and sometimes that turns out to be accurate, but it’s not often the case.
