Improve How Your Sales Force Sells by Phone

Put An Issue On the Table
Every day we find ourselves having to work through issues that come up in our relationships. Opportunities to express your concerns or opinions are never too far away. But, do you act on those opportunities or shy away from them? What is the one thing you should do to improve the quality of those relationships?
What Are YOU Good At?
Recently, during a corporate training session at LEGO, I asked a group of professionals to write down 20 qualities about themselves, 20 strengths of their personal brand. One woman looked completely dumbfounded. She stared down at the blank sheet of paper and finally said, "Rahna, that's got to be the hardest thing you could've asked for!" She was stumped. She had no idea what to write and sadder still, she had no idea what she was good at! This is a woman in a very large, very well-known company that conducts annual formal performance reviews....and still she didn't know. Can you imagine?

How to Stop Order-Taking & Satisfy Customers by Selling What They Need

Emotional intimacy - The Essential Daily Requirement for the health and longevity of your relationship.
“Into-me-you-see” Without intending to stereotype the genders, as soon as I sent out a “survey” and asked people to share their views on intimacy, somehow most of the women sent in their feelings of what Intimacy means to them on an emotional level and most of you guys out there sent me stuff that made me blush.

8 Ways to Translate Tiger Woods' Experiences into Sales Success
I was reading an article about Tiger Woods in Golf Digest . The article explored whether Tiger would be better or worse after he returned from surgery and rehabilitation on his knee. It went on to detail how effectively he played while injured and in great pain, and how much potential he had to be even better when he could move weight to his left leg. It also went on to describe his many potential distractions. Finally, I read a part of the article that talked about how prepared Tiger is for adversity.
Startup Principles for Success
Behind most great entrepreneur success stories is a long list of mistakes! Unfortunately, for every success story you see, there is an even longer list of failure stories with mistakes that you don’t see. But rather than dwell on the failures, I’ve tried to extract a list of principles that embody the successes.
Formula for Sales Templating
Sales templating is a technique that can help you develop a consistent sales process regardless of the background of your individual salespeople. What is sales templating? It is the technique by which you document the steps of the ideal typical sale. Sales templating allows you to capture the best practices and nuances of each of your salespeople to create a model sales process that all of them can follow. In addition to making your job as manager easier, sales templating will improve the performance of your sales force. By creating an overt, step-wise sales template or process, you give the salesperson the means to maintain control of the sales situation.

What is Your Level of Awareness?
To increase performance whether in business or personally demands an increase in the ability to be aware. Opening awareness can be done through a variety of means including communication. Read on to better understand this capacity and how to leverage it for further excellence and success.
Prospecting, Follow-up and Solving "Around" the Problem
Do you solve problems by “solving around the problem?” This is what I mean. Manager “Ken” is frustrated because his sales force isnʼt prospecting because they are relying on the companyʼs expensive advertising budget to drive the traffic. Even though personal prospecting is the least expensive form of advertising and has the highest success rate in closing customers. Because the sales force hasnʼt been trained or managed properly they are “rewarded” by manager “Ken” who increases his ad budget. Kenʼs defense is that he canʼt get his salesmen to prospect. A classic case of the tail wagging the dog.
Culture Conversion: Designing for Niche Markets
A niche market is a focused, targetable portion of a market… or a narrowly defined group of potential customers. In general, if your business focuses on a niche market, you should be addressing a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by mainstream providers. Unless you are in the community being targeted, it can be hard to tell upfront whether the design of your creative is going to be effective. But when you’re part of the targeted community, you get the message loud and clear. The trick comes in when you want to target a niche market to which you yourself do not belong. Bridging this gap between business and niche markets thus often requires a thoughtful cultural conversion campaign.
Who's Your VP of Reputation?
Reputation is the new profit center for the 21st century. Think about it. In an age of corporate scandals, suspicious customers, and budgets with very little breathing room, there is simply no substitute for being a reputable company. But no matter how many times you say you're an honest, trustworthy, customer-centered company, the proof is in the proverbial pudding.

The Power of a Sales Playbook Embedding Discipline and Best Practices in Your Sales Force
Sales people have a bad reputation in the business world. With movies like Boiler Room and Glengerry GlenRoss, Hollywood has only reinforced this. Frankly, some of this bad reputation is deserved. In many companies, the sales people may be hitting their numbers, but management knows they are only operating at a fraction of their potential. Is there a way to put discipline into the sales function? Won’t discipline kill the spirit and motivation of a good sales team? Good sales people are typically high-energy, relationship-oriented people with a low tolerance for structure. Their talents lie in handling the nuances of multiple relationships in an uncertain and dynamic environment. A Sales Playbook is the answer.
What Do You Need? What Do You Demand?
It's remarkably easy to confuse 'needs' and 'wants' with 'demands'. Fulfilling our needs leads to progress; demands only lead to disappointment.
