Sales Presentations That Command Attention
One of the key challenges in any sales presentation is communicating a message that makes prospects pay attention. Amid all the clutter and noise that exists in the marketplace, how do we get those with whom we most want to do business with, to pay attention to us? Obviously, that’s a complex question and the answer quite frankly is that there are a lot of factors. But if we go to ground zero, that point where we are first trying to get attention, there is one element that we most want to focus on.

The Death of Boring White Papers
As the Vice President for Human Resources for a $750 million diversified manufacturer, Jason seemed to be on the hit list for every consultant and headhunter on the eastern seaboard. It wasn’t that he didn’t use their services, in fact he was desperately in need of some specialized assistance, but finding just the right advisor was quickly becoming much harder than he anticipated. One thing was certainly clear-he wasn’t going to find what he needed from his existing network of contacts. That track had been lapped multiple times. Thus, he’d put the word out three weeks ago that he was open to learning about new firms and experts. Since then, the trickle of white papers and reports that came across his desk had turned into a veritable tsunami.

Creating A Successful Online Sales Strategy
You have a website, and perhaps you're even a professional salesperson, and as such you know that the best way to sell someone something is face-to-face, but have you seen the price of gas lately? So whether your customers are local, national, or international, the cost of getting to them is just too darn high to make any money. You could call them on the phone or email them, but with voice mail, spam filters, and all manner of gatekeepers, it is literally impossible to get to people, even when they're waiting for your call. It's never been easy to sell, but in today's jaded, cynical, frustrated business climate, the job is even harder.

You Like Me...You Really, Really Like Me
Sometimes in the rush to judgement we forget how important it is for our sales force to build rapport and gain the trust of their prospects. This is particularly true given the current business climate. People have become suspicious, cautious, and protective. Everyone is playing defense. Many salespeople I’ve come in contact with recently have been more assertive in qualifying and jump immediately into product presentations rather than spending quality time to get to know the personal side of their prospect or determine their specific needs.

Although they have a real need, have the resources, and the job security to commit to a purchase, their interest quickly wanes.

How to Improve Your Time Management
One of the most common things that I come across working with people in business (especially business owners) is the comment that ‘I just have too much to do and not enough time to do it’ Now experience has shown that, on average, many people are actually working productively for only 20% of their working week until they start to focus on how they plan their week and their use of time.
