(**To hear the audio version, click here! ). When I was in high school, I ran track. During my sophomore and junior years, I ran the 1-mile race. Though I normally like to take the lead early, I really wasn’t entirely focused on a “great start” because I had 5,280 feet to make up for a slow start. During my senior year, I ran the 880-yard event. Not a sprint, not the exhausting 440, but certainly a little more demanding of speed and a good start than what I needed when I ran the mile.

A guest blog by Walt Gerano, Sales Development Expert. You must be PREPARED. Have specific questions to respond to the price issue. Help them discover that low price may not mean lowest cost. Find prospects that place value on something besides just price. Look at why others are doing business with you. Keep a full pipeline. “Show me the money.”. It’s a critical part of every effective sales process, and yet, sometimes that very discussion causes us to get “off track” and lose focus on the objec

The Dave Kurlan Blog – Understanding the Sales Force – has ben abuzz with comments about a youth baseball coach that made his team run wind sprints after they gave up a lead big enough to invoke the ‘mercy rule’. I won’t go any further into the comments made by others about Dave’s position. You can click here to follow that discussion. What I will talk about is this: Consistency – As some of you know, I played college football at UConn from 1973 to 1977, coached at the University of Cincinnati f
A guest blog by Dave Kulran, President and founder of Objective Management Group, with an introduction by Tony Cole, President of Anthony Cole Training Group. INTRODUCTION: I’ve been working with companies for 22 years: companies of all sizes, in various business segments and across the country. One thing I’ve witnessed, discussed or heard for all of these years is the issue about talent.
A guest post by Tony Scelzo, President of Stringcan. We know that domino companies that move from small to big don’t all share the same characteristics 100%, but the similarities that they do share are striking, so when Tony Cole pointed out that there were at least two things he’s seen breakthrough companies succeed in—we were quick to have him elaborate.

Make a list of all the questions you ask a prospect. Try to be as exhaustive as you can, but make it at least 10. Now, take a look at your questions and remove all the questions that aren’t “business” questions. Questions like, who are the decision makers? When are you looking to have the solution in place, etc? Once you’ve removed the non-business questions, scratch off all the non-business process questions.
Yeah, yeah, we all know about the value of social selling for top of the funnel selling. How it’s great for engaging your prospects, and potential clients. We know it’s awesome for sharing information and insight. We know it’s great for listening for prospect needs and complaints. But, social can be used for something else as well and it’s highly under used — learning.
This weeks show The Word was one of the best. It tackled a subject I think many sales people struggle with and that’s the difficult customer or climate. It can seem cliche, but it’s not. Customers and prospects need to work with sales people in order for a good sale to take place and when they won’t everything goes south. This episode of The Word tackles this challenge with Anthony Iannarino and Tim Ohai.
This past week I had the absolute pleasure of hangin’ with two true sales badasses, Mike Wienberg author of New Sales Simplified and Kelly Riggs author of Quit Whining and Start Selling. These guys know selling and how to build world class sales organizations. So it was a blast spending 45 minutes freestylin’ on why sales teams aren’t performing and what it takes to get them there.

I’m having drinks with a friend. She runs a sales team for a mid-size company, and she’s sharing her frustration with finding impressive talent. She’s hiring and she’s lamenting about how difficult it is to find quality candidates. Out of curiosity and because it’s what I do, I can’t help but ask her to tell me why she finds it so difficult. She takes a sip of water, puts the glass on the table and starts describing her process.
One of my favorite quotes is; Your actions are speaking so loud, I can’t hear what you’re saying! I’m not sure why, but I’ve been saying this a lot lately. It’s easy for us to say something. It’s easy to commit to an idea, an action, a movement. What’s hard, is doing it. It’s hard putting in the work, the time, effort, taking action.
The best sales people have an unbelievable ability to climb into the skin of others. They have an uncanny ability to feel what others are feeling. The can sense and feel what someone is experiencing when they’re happy, sad, angry, scared, frustrated, etc. The best salespeople know when others are feeling apprehensive and how it’s affecting them.
Predictable Revenue author Aaron Ross says companies have unrealistic expectations that are “evil” when it comes to achieving goals. He calls it the entrepreneurs-journey. He says companies need to have more patience and give sales more time. Aaron also talks about he new book, which doesn’t have a title yet. He shares a couple of his title ideas and asks us what we think?
