Sales Core Competencies
How do you spend your time now when it comes to your own professional development? Aside from any company sponsored program you might attend, what else do you do and what do you focus on? Certainly, continuing to learn the technicalities of your business is critical, but in all the years I've been working with sales people, no one has ever told me they lost the deal because they were technically unprepared. Typically, the reason people lose business is due to lack of sales “know how”. This includes the failure to help the prospect overcome objections, the inability to overcome price issues, a failure to undo the current relationship and the inability to get someone to act. These are the symptoms that you must address when working on “fixing” the choke points in your sales system.

How to Sell Anything to Anybody Face to Face
Selling, more than any other profession is s learning game. Doctor's and lawyers often refer to what they do as a "Practice." Selling is also practice. Product knowledge, phrasing, time management, flow of information, presentation skills are all part of the learning process of sales. Selling is not manipulation.

Planning for a Negotiation
The fundamental difference between selling and negotiation is that selling is a process to identify the fit between what the seller is offering and what the buyer is seeking. Negotiation is the process of agreeing the terms of the deal and is part of the selling continuum. Yet, the negotiation should only begin when there is a genuine commitment from the buyer and seller towards a conditional sale.

The Science of Selling - Rules versus Data
Regular readers know that I like to talk about the science of selling. I don't mean the science of the sales process, strategy and tactics, as much as the science of research, data and proof. There is a science to selling but a more appropriate name for it would be the rules of selling. In Baseball, the rules dictate what you do, when you do it and how it should be done. In Selling, the rules accomplish the same thing.
How to Avoid Sales Mistakes
There is an overwhelming concern about productivity and profitability in today's organizations. With this final concern is ever more important for selling professionals to be as efficient as possible. Efficient selling agents help to lessen labor while bringing more revenue to the organization. The problem however is that many selling professionals commit numerous errors throughout their day.
