Stress-Free Selling® - Eliminate Stress in Sales
A sale is stressful when we approach Prospects with the intention of making a sale and the fear of not making a sale. To compound matters, Prospects are afraid we are going to manipulate them. They are afraid we are going to sell them something. . . something that's not in their best interest. Prospects accept appointments reluctantly (which is why we have difficulty getting them on the phone in the first place) and are pre-armed with a litany of excuses (aka objections) to get rid of you. It is this dichotomy of goals (you want to make a sale and Prospects want to protect themselves) that creates stress. Imagine if you both want to meet. Imagine if neither feels the other is going to try to force anything on him. Imagine you both feel the only acceptable outcome is the satisfaction of your Prospect's goals.

Can You Smell Trouble?
As a consultant and trainer I’m often called in to new business scenarios. On these occasions it is part of my job to help clients understand how ‘big’ their opportunity is. What I have observed is that sometimes my client doesn’t really understand where their service (or product) fits into the market. Or why people will want it. Or what the price should be. To me, that smells trouble… for my client.

Expertise
As consultant and trainer I always teach the value of being an expert. There’s no doubt that as an expert it’s just as important to be an expert in not just product knowledge, but in your subject matter as well. This knowledge helps your confident in front of a customer or audience. It also gives you the ability to ask excellent and relevant questions. You can quote famous people and books to position yourself as an expert, but you can’t fake expertise very long.

Why Johnny Can’t Focus
In my roles as adviser, trainer and consultant I get to talk to a lot of people. Business owners, salespeople, other trainers, managers – you name it, I end up chatting with them. One of the questions I typically ask is “What is keeping you from living exactly the way you want?” and more often than not one of the answers is “I just can’t seem to stay focused on my goals.” Lack of focus seems like an American epidemic and I think I have the answer to the problem.

Consultants Can Be Scary but Do They Provide Value
As a CEO before I became a consultant ten years ago I had very little time for consultants and did not have a high opinion of them. One of the things that always stuck in my craw - and still does for that matter -- is to see a consultant conduct sales training that never actually carried a bag themselves. Some have very little if any experience in the field as an outside sales person. Even more concerning is to watch a consultant give leadership or business acumen advice when that consultant never had to meet a payroll or run a company personally. Consultants can provide real value on many occasions but they can also be your worst nightmare.
Professional Speakers - A Protected Species Fast Becoming an Endangered Species
If you're a professional presenter - a speaker, trainer, coach, consultant or other kind of thought leader who gives group presentations - you're lucky, because you can do easily what most people are scared to death to do: Stand up and speak in front of a group. Even though other people might have better ideas, or be more passionate about something, or can write better than you can, most of them can't present it well.
