***On Sales Systems

“I have my own style of selling.” That is a remark I have heard a number of times, usually from relatively inexperienced sales people. What they usually mean is something like this: “I don’t have any real system to what I do, I don’t want any scrutiny, and I probably am not going to learn anything from you.” How valid is this position? Does every sales person have a unique style of selling? Are they just trying to hide from accountability under the cover of individual “style”? Or is there some other explanation?

***Creating a Powerful Sales Plan

Field sales people have a unique aspect to their jobs – they have the ability to decide what to do every moment of every day. The need to make this decision – where to go, who to see, who to call, what to do – distinguishes the sales profession from most others. I’ve often thought that the quality of this decision, more than any other single thing, dictates the quality of the sales person’s results. Consistently make effective decisions, and your results will improve. Make thoughtless, habitual or reactive decisions, and your results will be sub-par.

***Sales 2.0: Closing High End Deals through Authenticity

Selling gets a bad rap. Salespeople are often characterized as pushy, manipulative, and slimy. Fortunately, the best salespeople view Sales as a noble profession, characterized by leadership and service. If you’ve inherited the out-dated model of Win-Lose Salesmanship where you should “Always Be Closing,” you are in for a rude awakening when dealing with today’s sophisticated buyer. Buyers today are better educated than ever before, and have the ability to compare you with a dozen other providers instantly… Not just your prices, but hundreds of reviews from fellow buyers.

The Role of Adversity in Shaping a Sales Person’s Character

I still remember the worst sales call I ever made. More than just remember it, I react to the memory. I get a queasy feeling in my stomach every time I think about it.

There is something about adversity that has the power to linger forever in our memories, shaping our character and molding our behavior for the rest of our life.

***Just Listen!

I recently came across some research that confirmed what many of us in the profession of educating sales people have known for years: That purchasers would be “much more likely” to buy from a sales person if that sales person would just “listen” to the customer. (1) The survey found that some of the worst offenders were experienced sales people. Listening is one of the four fundamental competencies of a professional sales person, and yet, the profession is, in general, so poor at it that most customers remark on our inability to do it well.

Having spent most of my adult life in Michigan, I have naturally grown to be a fan of the Detroit professional sports teams. Basketball is my favorite sport, and I’ve been a Pistons fan since before the Bad Boys. As you know, the Bad Boys were world champions for a couple of years in the 80’s. Isaiah Thomas was the leader of the team. He was at the top of his game -- most valuable player on the world championship team. It doesn’t get any better than that.
