When Sales Goals Change but Behavior and Results Don't

YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANT MAKE HIM SELL OR CAN YOU
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Recently, we presented to a group of firm leaders across a range of service areas on how to sell professional services. During the Q & A session, one leader of an engineering firm asked, “This is all great stuff, but how do you get them (my engineers) to sell? I mean, I have tried everything, but they still would rather do just about anything but sell.” Well, short of walking around with a large stick and a menacing attitude, we suggest you will inspire more of the professionals in your firm to sell by helping them get into the right frame of mind to become a rainmaker. It is not just a question of telling them to go out and sell; you need to take care of the following six areas to get the activity you want.

Exceeding customers’ expectations?
If I hear "Oh let's exceed our customers' expectations" one more time I will scream. Usually my response is: ‘Why don't we just meet their expectations in the first place?' Too many times the marketing hype (the promise) does not always connect with the sales expectation set up by the sales team, which doesn't always translate into a service experience we were promised in the first place. We are often left disappointed, jaded and, if it happens more than once, cynical. Too many of us have stories of where we have been let down by businesses not fulfilling our expectations. We see broken promises, exaggerated claims, hollow offerings, no real value!

Unless your last name is Jones, there is no practical or logical reason you should set your standards based on theirs.
