Are You a True Salels Professiona
| |
| Salesmanship is a learned skill. You can perfect that skill. Yes, it does help to have an outgoing personality, high self-esteem and an ego to become a real pro. But, these attributes alone won't make you successful. Confidence in yourself, confidence in your products and confidence in your company are also key ingredients. The only way to gain this kind of ultimate confidence and become a true sales professional is by attaining knowledge. Study your products, understand your value propositions and understand what your competitive advantage is. Success is rarely an accident. Success is generally the result of a combination of motivation, attitude, skill and knowledge. Not everybody can be a professional sales person. If you are --- you are special.

On Show
| |
| Recently I have been watching the rerun of “Life at 1” on ABC TV in readiness for the “Life at 3” series as I am fascinated by all things behavioural and developmental. The series focuses on children and their development from age one and beyond, similar in concept to the Seven Up series. However this series cannot be complete without the children’s parents and siblings being involved.
I am interested in the series because I am a parent, however it is amazing what you can learn about other areas of your life from seemingly unrelated sources. This is such a case. |

You are on show

| Recently I have been watching the rerun of "Life at 1" on ABC TV (Australia) in readiness for the "Life at 3" series as I am fascinated by all things behavioural and developmental. The series focuses on children and their development from age one and beyond, similar in concept to the BBC's Seven Up series. However this series cannot be complete without the children's parents and siblings being involved.
One of the fathers being tested in the series had recently changed jobs from being a professional sales person in a luxury car showroom to working in the family market garden business growing vegetable. His ‘stress' levels actual and emotional were significantly lower after having changed jobs which also affected his child's stress levels for the better.

“A Business Coach’s Top Ten Tactics for Marketing Professional Services”

Why hire a Sales Coach when I already have a Sales Manager?
| |
| Most companies already have a sales manager or person in charge of sales in some capacity, so why hire a sales coach? Many sales mangers are not trained in the subtleties of effective sales coaching nor have they developed the necessary skills and tools to be effective sales leaders. The most common way to hire a sales manager is to simply promote your best sales person. This logic suggests this person is the most qualified to lead the sales team based on their past sales achievements. This type of ‘promotion by necessity’ is common, but not commonly successful. In the process you may even lose your top sales performer when their leadership abilities fail to match their sales ability. |

Market Strategy Essential Today!
| |
| The great Thomas Jefferson once said, “The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time.” My twist on that is, “The business owner, sales professional, self-employed professional, salesperson, etc, that stops marketing is a person guaranteed to fail.
I have found the biggest failures around marketing are due to the general misconceptions around what marketing really is. The truth is, there is a big difference between advertising and marketing. In our Sales to Marketing Bootcamp, we clearly define and separate the two. |
