Tracking & Diagnosing Sales Performance
One of my clients was recently wrestling with a common business challenge - a contracted professional salesperson who was not delivering results. She was uncertain about the correctness of insisting on a report of his activities because her initial request had been met with, "I don't have time for that. I'm busy getting out there seeing people. What do you want: Sales or reports?" Like most "half truths" this one caused her some angst: She did want sales; activities were not what she was paying for - but the arrangement wasn't working, and she could not see why.

Spring up your selling skills to improve your business!
Do you sell solutions or products and services? There is a big difference between the two. Most people today only want to deal with sales people if they can provide solutions to their problems or opportunities to improve sales, operations and lower costs.
Lead by Example: Do As I Do
The rules of modeling are not just applicable in parenting, but also apply to leading a great sales team. Great leadership starts from the top down. Make sure you are following these rules in managing your team for success.

You Can't Sell Anybody Anything… Until They Discover They Want It!
Despite what most traditional sales trainers tell us, it’s very difficult to convince people that they want or need something that they're not already asking to buy. Our experiences at Sandler Sales Institute have demonstrated that when we try to force-sell our products or services, all we do is evoke feelings of defensiveness in our prospects. Unconsciously, the prospects "defend" whatever it is they already own or use. Under those circumstances, prospects won't make a "new" decision.

The Customer Hidden Inside
There’s a customer hidden inside each of your prospects. Are you able to find them? Salespeople got spoiled during the super-heated market of just a few years ago. The demand exceeded the supply, money was cheap and readily available, and there were more prospects than we were physically capable of handling. This was particularly true of Realtors and Car salesmen.

Small Talk
A trained professional salesperson uses small talk to try and qualify the prospect and make sure they are indeed a prospect. Real estate agents are notorious for it. They slide in things during the small talk like “Oh, where do you work?”, or “What do you do for a living?”, or “How long have you been doing this?”, that it sounds exciting?
The Ultimate “Closing Technique”
I hope we have all come to agree on the fact that a large part of sales is making people like you and making people feel good about themselves. Many times in my career someone I came into contact with during the day whether in a restaurant, gas station, convenient store etc. became my sale later that day, week, or month.
The Picture Show
If I am disappointed, my facial expression will show just that. My face and shoulders and posture is an exact replica of what I am saying. In fact, for training purposes I have given complete presentations without speaking and the trainees could clearly see the picture like a silent movie.

How to find your next customer
Every sales person, no matter how successful, has this basic problem of whom to sell to each month. Anyone whoever worked in sales knows how one month you can be the best sales person in the company and then the calendar turns to a new month and you are starting from zero again.
Probing for Success
When you are asking questions to develop and understand the customers issues, you need to keep asking and asking questions to uncover the real issues that they have, unfortunately most salespeople stop asking questions and assume what problems they have.
