Why most managers aren’t up for the job

If you’re a business owner, try answering this question: What does it mean when your company is experiencing lots of turnover, a sharp drop in performance or revenues, people calling in sick all the time, and a general sense of malaise and crankiness? Although you may attribute these problems to the employees themselves, or a few bad apples among them, the reality is that all of these symptoms indicate serious trouble at the top.

Business coaches aren’t for everyone

A personal decision not to use a business coach

"Our salespeople aren't asking for the business!"

Some may find the concept of salespeople not asking for the business, strange even ridiculous given 'the close' has traditionally been a salesperson's end-game. This is analogous to a football player running down the sideline, struggling to avoid the clutches of would-be tacklers - to just sit down on their bum and scratch their head an inch before the goal line. It's just doesn't make sense, yet in sales, this type of conducts is surprisingly common.
