So where are all the Elite Sales Performers?
I received yet another call today from a sales manager asking me where he could find a really good sales pefomer for his business. He complained that most of the sales people in his industry had been around the block too many times and no new skills, ideas or talent where being brought into his industry. Same old people, same old things, same old results. Trouble is he is not alone and the Elite Performers you want are most likely working in other industries or markets and are not even thinking about working for you.

2 Things Race Car Driving Has in Common with Selling
Karl said that for him, the single biggest commonality between racing and selling is the ability to be in control of his emotions, a strength which, in selling, not too many salespeople have mastered. It was as a professional race car driver when Subaru, his first real employer, would send Karl to struggling car dealers to help them push cars - despite the fact that Karl didn't view himself as a salesperson. However, if you listen to his very entertaining stories about growing up, you realize that he was always selling - because he had to.

Why A Home Based Business Franchise Is Perfect For Mom
Though some in our culture seem to believe that motherhood is a second-rate vocation, most would agree that only someone who has never been a mother or never actually paid attention to what his own mother has willingly done could make such a brash statement. In every way, motherhood is one of the most trying, tiring, and honorable professions a woman could ever take on. And it really is a profession; it requires at least 18 years of a woman’s life, takes all 24 hours of her day, includes the use of at least a dozen different skills and abilities, and normally pays in relational and emotional ways that no other career can.

How about the phrase “Experience is the best teacher?” Or how about this gem, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you?” And what about, “He or she is a born sales person” or “Ignorance is bliss”? As I work these days with sales people and sales managers across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia I see so many examples of why beliefs like these are so dangerous.Experience is not the best teacher

Sales Training that Really Works
Research and practical experience reveals that many of the widely used sales training approaches and techniques are largely ineffective with a relatively small proportion of the learnings being retained after the training event.

Such simulations are feedback rich and play on salespeople's competitive instincts as they compete with one another in the simulations.

The First Steps in Starting an Association
The most fundamental part of living in any free society is the ability to organize to form groups of people with similar interests. Often these are called Associations although there are a whole host of other names used for them including: organizations, federations, alliances, institutes, guilds, societies, foundations, clubs, congresses, coalitions, centers, networks, unions, chambers, or bureaus. Regardless of the name they all have the same goal to serve the needs of their members. Associations find their strength in numbers often sharing the common interests of industries, professions, charities, hobbies, or philanthropic action.
Similarity Hueristics, Iterative Methodologies and the Emergence of the Modern Supply Chain
Some professions, such as software developers, regularly utilize the similarity heuristic. For software developers, the similarity heuristic is utilized when performing debugging tasks. A software bug exhibits a set of symptoms indicating the existence of a problem. In general, similar symptoms are caused by similar types of programming errors. By comparing these symptoms with those of previously corrected software flaws, a developer is able to determine the most probable cause and take an effective course of action. Over time, a developer’s past experiences will allow their use of the similarity heuristic to be highly effective, quickly choosing the debugging approach that will likely reveal the problem’s source.

Selling Is About Helping People
When you were a young child do you remember people asking you what you wanted to be when you grew up? Do you remember what you said? If you have your own children and ask them this same question, what will they say? The typical answer from an average kid is something like doctor, lawyer, teacher, policeman, fireman, and the like. What do these professions have in common? They all help people. A child might even say an athlete, who helps people by entertaining them. Or even an astronaut, who helps people by furthering the progress of mankind as a whole. Although in the latest news, I’m not sure that animal-abusing athletes and drunken astronauts are good role models these days, but I digress.
