An Elephant Sized Sales Tip You Need Now
| |
| Look Down Lady - There's An Elephant On Your Foot!
(And this is a pachyderm in dire need of a pedicure.)
This is the ELEPHANT that hardly anyone ever asks about with their potential customer:
"Who was your previous supplier and why are you unhappy with them?"
Don't be sooooooo afraid of mentioning your competition because you're terrified you'll lose the sale too.
A BIG, elephant-sized mistake that would be.
Pssst. You need to know what your customer's expectations are of you.
You need to know what made them so unhappy with their last supplier that they dumped them (or are considering it)

Business Growth: The Sales Managers Secret Weapon
| |
| In a recent poll, I asked managers, "What is the biggest challenge you face in 2009?" Answer: "Increasing sales and doing it with fewer resources." Before you can address these challenges, I encourage you to take care of what's likely to be the biggest roadblock you have, and you may not even realize it's there.

Underneath it all is fear, anxiety, and even paranoia. It all points to INSECURITY - that elephant in the room, and it's keeping your people stuck in low productivity levels. |

The 800 Pound Gorilla Problem
| |
| I was at a board meeting recently where the board and management was discussing the company’s market position. This is a strong company that leads its market and, as a result, one of the board members stated that we were “the 800 pound gorilla in the market.” In my world view, the market was still relatively small so I suggested that we were the 12 pound gorilla. While this got a chuckle, it was instructive and moved the conversation down an interesting path. |

Corporate Strategy and the Elephant in the Room

| Recession weary executives have a new challenge to face. Times have changed and businesses must re-evaluate their pre-recession strategies. The elephant in the room is in full view, but organizational leaders do not like to talk about it or even think about it.

Making change to the way we have operated in the past in difficult. A starting point for change is to correct the self-inflicted organizational dysfunction that occurs during strategy development. |
