Exceptional Prospectors
Over the past 14 years, my team has conducted thousands of psychological assessments and interviews with both managers and salespeople about their prospecting and sales behaviours.

Meanwhile, Sales Managers repeatedly express their frustration that they cannot find salespeople who are competent, confident, and motivated to prospect for new business. Prospecting requires sales people to establish contact with people who might buy your products or services. Whether it is phone, face-to-face or group prospecting, inbound or outbound, nothing gets sold until you get in front of and/or talk to potential buyers.

Affordable web hosting is easy to come by, per se. But unless you do your research, research, research, you never know what you’ll be buying into.

Empirical Skepticism
Empirical skepticism is a foundation for great leadership.
