What do your sales people really need to know and apply?
In today's market selling skills training does not equal product training or pressure tactics. If product training or pressure selling (the hard sell) are on the top of your sales training agenda or the only training you offer your sales people then you may want to rethink your sales training strategy. What is expected of sales people today by way of skillful thought and action goes way beyond the product or the hard sell. Let's first look at what clients want. This will then help us determine what sales people need to be able to do.

I'm sure you've seen the infomercials, website presentations, online direct marketing come-ons, and even high-pressure seminar and tradeshow presentations that will never be repeated, so you better act now. You're familiar with the language used: "act now and we'll send you two pieces of junk you don't need, but wait there's more, call in the next ten minutes and we'll add a third useless item."

Counter your Customers’ Negotiation Tactics
Be prepared for customer negotiating tactics by determining your response before your sales call. Don’t be blindsided into giving away something you did not intend to. Your customers may attempt to improve their outcome at your expense (lose-win). Negotiating tactics tend to turn the focus away from legitimate negotiable items and ask for concessions based on irrelevant issues. Sometimes negotiation tactics are used unconsciously (see example below). Tactics have persisted and are touted in some negotiation books and training workshops because they are effective at least in the short-term. Their long-term effect is to hinder relationship building because your customer does not want to feel that you are taking unfair advantage.

The Power of Prioritising
As we reflect back on 2009, it was a year of change and uncertainty. Many organisations could be compared to a sporting team under pressure. When the market is going their way then everything is working and confidence is high. However when the pressure is on the weaknesses become very apparent and the cracks starts to appear.

The Dark Side
How well can we manage ourselves, our teams and businesses in a crisis or tough times? Are our actions and behaviours putting us, our people and our businesses at risk? As leaders and managers we are on show and our actions often speak louder than our words. In challenging times this is even more evident. Under pressure cracks may appear and our leadership is put to the test. How do we cope under pressure? What happens to us when we crack? When placed under high levels of pressure, most people will rely on coping mechanisms or their strengths that help them manage in day to day activities, but due to the pressure they can actually become counterproductive tendencies. We refer to these as “risk factors” and they can emerge as our dark side.

Why Developing Mental Toughness Will Bring Great Results
You will achieve great results through developing mental toughness. So what is mental toughness? It is the desire of taking control of your emotions in performance situations.

With added pressure, the chances are high that you will start having negative self-talk, and then lose belief in your ability to complete a task or project.

Growing Under Pressure: Where Leaders Are Born
It's been said that pressure reveals character. You can tell more about someone by the way that they respond to pressure than almost anything else.
