Guerrilla Marketing as Sex
| |
| The whole idea of guerrilla marketing is to transform cold prospects into
consenting partners. As with superb sex, marketers shouldn't be in a
hurry, shouldn't direct their energies to disinterested people and must
realize that the consummation of a loving relationship won't take place
without proper wooing, without knowing exactly what turns on the prospect. |

Management Technique: Reverse Feedback
| |
| Managing people can be a challenge, especially when you’re new at it. But it’s even harder if and when your goal is to inspire people to want to do something in lieu of making them feel as though they have to. We all know that the quality of the end result is far better when people are interested in what they are doing and care about the outcomes they produce. So why is it so common for so many managers to fall back on the old, ho-hum hierarchical management model of, “Do it because I’m the boss?” These are remnants of stale power structures which carry assumptions that bosses get things done because they “say so.” At its best, it’s a highly unimaginative and weak approach to managing people, and at its worst it’s ignorant. |

Hello, World!
| |
| This is my first entry into my blog! Welcome to ‘Sell Like a Woman’.
The creation of this site came about as a result of an idea I had about putting a book together. I am writing a book called “Sell like a woman” which I want to publish in 2007.

Sales Recruitment and the use of online psychometric assessments.
| |
| Everyone seems to be is using online testing these days. That’s fine, however many people (candidates and companies alike) have fallen foul of testing especially when it comes to sales selection.
* Online testing is becoming the way of the future
* However, many online assessments are being marketed as credible with little regard for their limitations
* Security is still the biggest issue!

Territory Management vs. Account Management
| |
| Terms such as Account Development, Account Management and Territory Management are often interchanged indiscriminately by many a sales people and managers thus creating confusion when it comes to sales planning, portfolio allocation and recruiting the right kind of sales person for your business.
I thought it might helpful to define these terms and give you a little more perspective.
All sales people involved in developing long term viable business relationships with the right kind of customers should be doing Account Development: Here is our definition of Account Development taken from the BARRETT Sales Competency Dictionary. |

I hope it has supported you in some small way to achieve your goals and endeavors and I look forward to being of service to you all in 2008.

Now given my focus has been on ‘Sales’ you might wonder why I am focusing on “Meditation as path to happiness’ as my final piece for 2007. There is method in my madness. You may recall some months ago I wrote about ‘reflecting on reflecting’ and how it is a powerful skill to help people work and perform to their best. There is also an increasing body of scientific research showing definite links and health benefits on all levels to meditation and mindfulness. |

An Audience with Procurement
| |
| Recently I was approached by the head of CISP Australia (Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply), Jonathan Dutton to be their after dinner speaker at the Women in Procurement Conference on 19 June 2008.
This was a new event on CIPSA’s calendar which provided a unique educational and networking opportunity for those interested in the advancement of women within the procurement profession. While procurement has traditionally been a very male-dominated profession, an increasing number of women have achieved success and recognition in recent years. The conference aimed to examine the challenges women face as they try to make their way in this male-dominated environment and what lessons can be learned from those who have successfully gone before them. |

Desperate Times Don’t Call for Desperate or Deceptive Measures
| |
| As markets tighten and people’s sentiment can tend towards the negative it is critical that we don’t get spooked. As mentioned before in the article about “Watch who you let near your mind” we need to examine all the evidence at hand, make informed decisions about our market and continue to ensure that our prospecting and sales efforts are targeted and at the forefront of our business activities. We also need to make sure that we continue to conduct ourselves in an ethical and professional manner working with our clients not against them.However in desperate times (and maybe it is all the time for some) some people stoop to new lows to try and get a sale. Here are a few examples of unethical and fraudulent behavior masquerading as sales activities. So beware. |

What’s the right incentive scheme for my sales team?
| |
| Of all questions, this is the one that remains on the minds of sales leaders and executive teams. It is often the cause of more debate and angst than any other question in a business.
People search for the golden answer, however their quest will not deliver a definitive one because it all depends on what you want to achieve.
The current wisdom is that while there are ‘best practice’ frameworks for creating the ideal sales compensation or incentive scheme, it is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. |

Some Good News Sales Stories
| |
| You don’t have to discount price to win good business and good customer relationships even in tough markets.
I mentioned earlier this year my team and I are working on a large sales fitness training assignment in the finance sector around Australia. These guys are hard up against it when it come to ‘price’ being a key target at the moment. A number of their competitors are trying to buy market share with discounted prices. The market is being hammered with ‘discounting’ of all sorts – some clear, some not so clear and some very dubious.
Many people have commented ‘Is this the right time to be investing in these people given the state of the market?”.
My reply is ‘This is exactly the right time to be investing in your sales people’. And here is why. |

Think you can get away with it. Think again
| |
| In the world of sales there has always been the following advice for customers and for good reason:
* Buyer beware
* Read the fine print
* If it’s too good to be true then it is
And so on.
As much as I advocate for and encourage healthy, trust based, open transparent customer relationships I am fully aware of the ‘dark side’ in the profession of sales.
In my travels, sadly I hear of many stories about people being ripped off and taken advantage of often with no idea about what is happening to them until it’s too late. All under the guise of selling. |

What are the benefits of a CRM system in your business?
| |
| The concept of CRM has been around for a long time. The original form of CRM was a manual card system kept by a sales person that usually sat on the sales person’s desk or alongside them in the car. These client cards sets were very valuable to the sales person as this is where they kept important customer information such customer contact details, key contacts in the company, a running commentary on their activities, personal and product preferences, buying patterns, business connections and so forth. Each card was a dossier on each client. To successful, well managed sales people, their client cards were gold. |

Getting back to sales basics
| |
| It’s time to get back to basics.
I don’t know about you but recently I have found myself getting more and more distracted by the latest trend and fads, especially the social media phenomena. My reason for this is that I have been trying to get my head around social media and specifically, the impact on the sales profession.
As you may have gathered, I like to keep on top of what is current, what is emerging, and what is still an idea. This is why I make time each week to do research as it helps me navigate my way around the present and into the future. However, I am finding there is so much to read, so much to get my head around, and so much to integrate into my business that it can take up a lot of time… and it only seems to be increasing. |

THE ACORN THEORY
| |
| The Acorn Theory was first postulated in the modern era, at least in the public domain by James Hillman, author and psychologist, in his bestselling book; The Soul’s Code. It is Hillman’s view that one of life’s greatest mysteries is the question of character and ones destiny. In this theory he proposes that our calling is inborn and that it’s our mission in life to realize its imperatives. He has called it the “acorn theory,” the idea that our lives are formed by a particular image, just as the oak’s destiny is contained in the tiny acorn. |
