The Power of Asking: 7 Ways to Boost Your Business
The gift called “asking” has been around for a long, long time.

How do you create future sales superstars?
How many of us entered our sales careers with our eyes wide open? Fully aware of what it takes to be an effective sales person – ably resourced with the tools, processes, plans and support essential to our success. Knowing full well what you were getting yourself into. For most, if not all of us, our initiation into sales was nothing like this, and was cushioned with little or none of these luxuries. Does the analogy “sink or swim” resonate with anyone? All of this makes the story I am about to share quite unique and refreshing. Recently, some rather clever and farsighted managers gave some very fortunate young people the opportunity to get a large glimpse into the world of selling.
What Is Your Sales Team’s A. Q.?
It has been known for some time that if you want to measure an individual’s intelligence, you administer an Intelligence Quotient test. This has been an accepted method of measuring one’s intelligence for many years.

How to handle the top 10 SME Sales Objections - Part I

The TACTIC You dont have to like cold calls you only have to make them
The STORY: Bob absolutely detests cold calling, and when he is in a sales slump, like he is this month, he’ll do just about anything to avoid the phone. The past customer files in his desk will suddenly all get new folders. He’ll update his Rolodex with all the new phone and fax numbers that he can remember.

What is the first thing your mother taught you to say after Ma Ma and Da Da?
Sellers cannot say thank you too many times. I am sure most salespeople say thank you at the time of a sale, but if you really want to make an impression on your customer, and who doesn’t, say thank you when they do not expect it. They will be delighted. Their delight will turn in to future sales.

Today's rant - TV Sales Managers
TV Sales Managers, it is up to you to change your current job. You are in charge of Sales for your television station – national, local, regional, online, and/or all of the above. How much of your time is truly spent focused on Sales? Nurturing your advertisers, building your people and developing solutions? Are you spending enough time looking to the future and developing a plan to increase sales in that future?
Everyone has a plan. Some plans are better than others because they contain all or most of the necessary steps and sequence them in an appropriate order. Most plans have gaps where steps should be and the sequence doesn't lend itself to success. One area where we see this occur repeatedly is when companies are about to hire a Sales VP or Director AND
