The Buyer Engagement Experience
The buyer is the key to the sale. Sales reps that follow a sales process which effectively focuses on the buyer’s perspectives, needs, and situation will create an effective buyer engagement experience.

Not to be confused with the candidate pool which is simply a single component of the pipeline. Your sales pipeline should have four stages:

A Successful Sales Model: The Key to Franchisee Success
With many individuals transitioning from corporate America to entrepreneurial ventures, it is no surprise that new franchised businesses are springing up everywhere. Many franchise owners are attracted to entrepreneurship because they like what the franchise business concept represents. However, while they come to their role as a believer of the concept they buy into they do not necessarily have the skills they need to sell themselves and their services — the skills that are needed to keep the business alive.

How to Creatively Increase Your Sales

What Do You Need to Pass a Franchisor’s Test?
Buying a franchise is a lot like marriage. Two parties enter into a relationship with the expectation of mutual benefit, long-term support and common goals. When entering into marriage, both people spend a great deal of time learning about each other and making sure they are a good match before making the commitment. The same is true for franchising. Both the franchisor and the franchisee gather information about each other and evaluate whether there is a good match. Although it may not be immediately evident, a franchise company is under no obligation to award a franchise to just anyone who can afford the franchise fee. In many cases a franchisor has as much or more at risk when a franchisee fails.

The \"Sales Goals Motivate\" Myth
Many sales professionals, through a lack of experience at setting appropriate sales objectives, set unrealistic goals, which in turn assures their failure long before they even start to execute their plans for achieving them. When they find they are not able to meet the objectives they’ve set, they not only experience the frustration inherent in failing, but many of them also receive criticism and in some cases, punishment from management.

Levels of Sales Competence
Most salespeople and sales managers often are unaware of where they fit on the sales effectiveness continuum. Dave Mather, a 30+ years sales trainer explains the basics of sales competence levels. His experience shows that less than 6% of salespeople ever reach to top level.
Is Experience The Best Teacher?
It’s interesting to consider the wisdom of some expressions in common use these days. 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

You can’t improve salespeople without improving sales management first
I am constantly appalled at the lack of effective sales management in companies these days. Not a week goes by in which I don't see a company make the mistake of focusing exclusively on salespeople in trying to improve sales performance.

What should you do with your poor sales performers?
One of the most frequent areas that I get asked to consult on is sales team 'performance', or lack thereof. In many sales teams what I observe is a small percentage of sales stars shining and the rest making up the numbers. This conundrum I call, 'The Law of Lesser Equals'. This law propounds: All women and men are created equal, yet when compared in competitive environments some underperform, not just marginally, but resoundingly. Many team members have the same training, similar backgrounds and experience, but some get the results, while others struggle. Is that a result of luck, experience, or natural talent, or is there a more substantial explanation?
Is Your Sales Training Missing These Ingredients?
The last time you went on sales training, were you engaged in the decision? How long was the sale training and/or was the sales training ongoing or was it just the flavor of the month? When or what day(s) of the week was the sales training delivered - during pay time or no pay time? Did the sales training take your personal sales needs and learning methods into consideration? Were you able to apply the sales training methods in the real world? Were you encouraged to return for further sales training or to meet with your sales coach and discuss your experience? Was the sales training based on sales management objectives?

A Simple Paradigm Shift Makes Sales Fun, Easy and Effective!
Ever have a bad sales experience? I mean a really bad sales experience? One so bad, that if given the choice to finish the sales call or be at the dentist getting your tooth pulled out you would choose the dentist? Well I had one about a week ago, and in fact it is one of my favorites. I collect bad sales experiences, because I am fascinated by the way some people have been taught to sell, and continue to sell despite lack of success.
