| |
| To be in business means to be in relationships with lots of people. It’s no surprise that when things are not going the way you would like them to, your preconceived conclusion may hit a detour. When you have a clear idea of what the outcome of a conversation, presentation or decision should be and the other people see things differently, you can be facing a challenge or an opportunity. It all depends on the choices you make and how you lead. Here are a few tips to keep everything in perspective and capitalize on the alternatives. |

RAMP UP YOUR BRAND - SLEDGEHAMMERS AND SERVICE BRAND PREFERENCE
| |
| By Mike Schultz and John Doerr
Swing the Hammer
Imagine the strongman game at the carnival. You lift the sledgehammer over your head and swing it down onto the platform. When it strikes the target, a metal cylinder rises up and up—20 feet up the pole until it rings the bell. On its way down the pole the cylinder passes the same words it passed on the way up: strongman, tough guy, athlete, junior, and weakling.
In a way, establishing a services brand follows a similar process. You swing the hammer (your marketing tactics, the marketing mix you employ, and the quality of your company's services) and the strength of your efforts determine whether or not your brand moves up the pole and makes it to the top to ring the bell.
The question is, “What stages must your brand pass through in order to ring the bell?”

| |
| Guess what happens if you embrace rejection as a part of the job and quickly move on to make the next call. You're doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over. A rejection is a failure. It's a sales call that did not result in a desirable outcome. If you want to get better at selling, it is imperative to analyze your failures to determine if a different approach could have yielded a better outcome. |

The Unlimited Power Within
| |
| An unlimited power to create lies within you. When you act on your Core Desires, the outcome is often far grander than you might imagine. "Outcomes are often not what I expect," said Wally, "and yet I always find myself feeling completely satisfied with the way things work out. When you have faith in the outcome, no matter what it may be, you cannot stop yourself from living and working with enthusiasm. As I put what I feel into action, I am filled with vitality and happiness."
When Wally was forced out of his own cookie company, it seemed utterly unfair. But he refused to be a victim: |

| This is the 1st in the series of the 10 Kurlan Sales Management Functions.
#1 - COACHING
In its simplest form, sales coaching consists of the following two activities:
1. Pre-Call Strategizing - coaching prior to selected calls to make sure that the salesperson has a good reason for having the upcoming call, a desired outcome, a game plan or strategy, and the appropriate questions/dialog to achieve the desired outcome.
2. Post-Call Debriefing - coaching after selected calls to discover the true outcome of the call, why the salesperson got that outcome, and what they could have done differently or more effectively... |

Impact and Influence in Action – Where Are They With This Issue?
| |
| Negotiation is, or should be, about reaching a wise outcome to a situation which needs resolution. The nature of any negotiation is that, at the start, there are differences. To have lasting impact and positively influence the outcome you need to understand what the differences are. In a way you could be the least qualified person to do this - you may not even want to hear things which will obstruct you in getting what you want. Just like waiting at traffic lights you need to engage neutral for a time and get out of the gear marked “Drive”. |

Impact and Influence in Action – What Might be Possible?
| |
| To build and maintain impact and influence in negotiation and achieve a wise outcome it’s important to manage the levels of engagement. This means doing everything you can to ensure the conversation and interaction is about joint problem solving, not about fighting for domination. At some point in the discussions the conversation will move from divergent to convergent – from opening up and examining the issues towards closing down and reaching a solution or outcome. I teach negotiators, influencers and leaders to keep a diamond shape in mind (the shape you’d see on a playing card) and check from time to time where the conversation is and when it is time to make the “critical turn” and begin converging. |
