Sales and Customer Service are Just Like Steriod Use in Baseball
| |
| Sales is just like Steroid use in Baseball.
If a customer attacks, complains, whines, demands or points fingers and you simply say, "you're right. I'm sorry," the issue goes away. However, if you get defensive, place blame, make excuses, deny the issue or fail to apologize, your customer will never forget and as a result, may no longer be your customer. The customer is always right - even when they're wrong. |

The Secrets Of Starting A Successful Ebay Business
| |
| If Fred Sanford were alive today, Alex, I'm sure he'd be earning his ripple money by selling quality junk on eBay. While it's also true that one man's junk is another man's treasure (I have a garage full of treasure to prove this point), your chances of building a profitable business selling "junk" on eBay (or anywhere else, for that matter) are slim to none. |

How Obama, Dan Pink, The Heaths, Steinbrenner and Kurlan Might Prepare Your Sales Force for Change
| |
| I was up against the time, as 6:30 AM had arrived prior to the end of my article. That's how it was yesterday when I wrote about having a change ready sales force. The only problem with yesterday's article was that I never really got to the part about being change ready! So to start where we left off you'll need to read Part I first.
How do we prepare the sales force for the four possible outcomes while letting them know that options 2-4 are not acceptable?
There are several possible approaches and Alex Bartholomaus, who spoke with me yesterday, said he would like to see me talk about these two:

Deadlines Are Your Friend
| |
| As a student at Juilliard, most of my “studying” revolved around practicing for my weekly piano lesson – and with all day everyday to spend in the practice room, it was hard to maintain intense focus. When the day of my lesson rolled around though, guess what: I was suddenly able to shift into high gear, tune out the usual distractions (“Alex the cellist is practicing shirtless again?”) and get into a place of deep concentration. Three hours would fly by like that. |

Get Your Sales Force to Perform Magic and Make Sales Appear!
| |
| I just finished a great novel called Law of Nines. A traveler from another world visits Earth in hopes of saving her own world. They have no technology where she comes from but they do have magic. Alex, the main character, just can't wrap his hands around the magic. Jax, the alien, tries to help. She said, "that little black thing you talk to where messages appear - in our world, that would be magic but we would do it without the black thing. That box that brings you up and down in a building - to me that's magic. Those enclosed carriages without horses to make them travel? Magic."
Neither world could live without what they have but they simply have different names for them.
We don't talk about it much but sales has a lot of magic to it. |
