Can anyone be a good sales person? Are their certain personalities that are better at sales then others? What does it take to be good at sales? The answers are yes, perhaps, and hardwork! Anyone can be good at sales if they want to be, and yes some people make the transition easier then others, but at the end of the day your willingness to work smart and hard determines your level of success. Anyone who want to be good at sales should invest in their personal growth and learning, and develop methods and strategies for success.

Get me a woman

Some of you may be wondering why my blog is called “Sell like a woman”. First, Sell like a woman is not a feminist manifesto nor is it a male bashing exercise. The creation of the title was inspired by an increasing body of research overseas showing that woman are often outperforming men when it comes to achieving real and sustainable results in sales and effective sustainable client relationships. This led me to begin my research project and the book I am now writing, also called “Sell Like A Woman”. I have always been curious about women and their success in sales and wanted to explore the concept here in Australia and develop some Australian-based research as well.

Put Money In Your Pocket With Sizzling Sales Copy
Every self employed person needs to learn how to write successful sales copy. Sales copy is a different style of writing. Here are my four best tips to get you started.

Closing the Sale: Assume the Close, But Never the Reason
There are certainly many techniques and approaches involved in completing a sale, but closing is not a stand-alone activity. Even worse, a seller who attempts to "close the sale" too aggressively without properly executing the entire selling process can do more harm than good. This mistake is often due to one dangerous assumption...

The coming together of Sales Leaders in Austalia

I recently had the opportunity to attend the inaugural Optimising the Sales Force Conference along with over 120 high level sales leaders across Australia. I was privileged to be part of the panel of international and local experts presenting on sales effectiveness where we explored the latest research on sales strategy, leadership, learning and development, sales management, sales people, and current market trends. This was the first time in Australia we have had the opportunity to come together as a profession and share ideas and discuss important matters moving forward.

Why a Top Sales Manager Must Always "Tune Into the Right Frequency"

It's definitely clichéd, but I think this is one of the most critical elements to successful sales management and that is to make sure you are tuned into the right radio frequency with your salespeople. There's only one radio station that your sales executives like to listen to and that radio station is: WIFM. (You might say WIIFM, but let's not get too technical here...). This is the "What's-In-It-For-Me" radio frequency. This is the only station they pay any attention to and if you're not broadcasting on it all the time, 24-7, then your sales reps are gonna switch you over to some other station on XM or Sirius radio...or worse yet, turn off the radio completely!

Cold Calling Isn’t the Only Way to Get Prospects
Not many sellers like cold calling. They may be forced into it but they go kicking and screaming, avoiding it with any excuse. Unfortunately, they think it’s the only approach to prospecting, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Why A Top Sales Manager Needs To Be On All His Reps’ “Pre-sets”

You have to be more popular than Howard Stern. You also have to be cooler than Opie and Anthony too. Why? Because one of the most critical elements to successful sales management is to always make sure you are tuned into the radio frequency of your salespeople. Here's why. There's only one radio station that your sales executives like to listen to and that radio station is: WIFM. (You might say WIIFM, but let's not get too technical here...). This is the "What's-In-It-For-Me" radio frequency. This is the only station they pay any attention to and if you're not broadcasting on it all the time, 24-7, then your sales reps are gonna switch you over to some other station on XM or Sirius radio...or worse yet, turn off the radio completely!

"Leading Works Better Than Selling."

Our research found that that harder one pushes to make sales, the harder it is to grow a territory. This article covers several reasons "leading works better than selling." Also, borrowing an effective sales strategy from top performers can change your whole mission on a call. It ensures your efforts are magnified with top performers' work values. And replicating top performers' practices of dealing with common sales challenges can help you, like them, outperform counterparts and trends with 31 percent annual sales growth compared to 5 percent for the status quo.

Successful Sales Tips for Beginners – Sales Tip #1

If you typically shy away from promoting yourself, your product or service for fear of being perceived as 'pushy' or 'sales-y' (heaven forbid!) - You are not alone. Over the course of my career, I have trained hundreds of business professionals, entrepreneurs and sales representatives to partner with their prospects and clients; to add value; assist clients in achieving their business goals and to improve circumstances - help clients increase efficiency, productivity and reduce costs. Only then can you call yourself a true Sales Professional. The sales process is one of educating your client and then developing and executing a plan of action that moves your clients' business forward. In this article, Sales Tip #1 of many to come, I have provided a check list and outline of each of the steps that must be taken to ensure your success.

Successful Sales Tips for Beginners – Sales Tip #2

Until you determine whether an organization or individual can utilize and benefit from your product &/or service, they are a 'suspect'. You suspect they have a need that your product &/or service will fill. Your responsibility is to ask qualifying questions and listen closely to the answers. Then ask additional questions and continue listening before articulating how your product &/or service will provide value, increase productivity or efficiency. Until qualified, a ‘suspect’ is not a prospect. You cannot begin to even think your product &/or service will provide value without understanding the needs of the suspect. Develop questions providing information allowing you to quickly qualify or disqualify a suspect, avoiding wasted effort and time. If you disqualify a ‘suspect’, quickly shift the conversation (perhaps a referral partner?)

Just How Important is Preparation to Sales?

Jim believes that you must know everything there is to possibly know about a potential customer or client, perhaps even more than they know about themselves. My theory for preparation revolves more around a salesperson's ability to be strategically and tactically prepared for every imaginable scenario that could occur in a sales meeting and cycle. Both of our approaches depend on the salesperson being prepared to ask good, tough, timely questions. If your salespeople combine those two approaches, they would be unbeatable.

Create your own opportunities
Just one idea can positively transform your life, career, income and wealth. As I have written before, in uncertain times, we can let the negativity of current events and others consume us or we can continue to look for opportunity. Excessive worry, however, can often cause us to lose sight of our goals and can limit our creativity and problems solving capabilities just when we really need them.

Always Be Preapred
A lot of people ask me what exactly the "sales edge" is. The "official" explanation is that it's the difference between the average salesperson and the successful sales professional. Before I share my thoughts on what this "edge" is, I'd like to ask you what you think having the "edge" in selling really means. Think about this...

Creative Abrasion and the Sales Knowledge Activist

I don't know enough. Not enough about my customers & prospects, or their customers, prospects, suppliers, partners and competitors. I don't know enough about the objectives, strategies, requirements, problems or people of any of those groups. I don't even know enough about how my own products and services - either alone or combined with other products and services - can address the issues of my customers and prospects. Eeesssssshhhhh... (Guess what? You're in the same boat!)

Being an Effective Salesperson Means That You PREPARE FOR OBJECTIONS

The Optimistic Sales Professional

Sales is a demanding profession. Top performers know that to sustain a high level of performance, they need to keep fit and well - both physically and psychologically. An increasing body of research is showing that keeping an optimistic outlook, and having the physical energy to meet the demands of working in sales are critical to a sales person's effectiveness, success and overall well-being. Something many of us know intuitively, however it good to have it validated. Managing and overcoming setbacks is key to succeeding in anything. In sales we are tested everyday. Without a sense of optimism it would make getting up to face each day that much harder. So what is Optimism?

How Focus Helps Sales Management Effectiveness
In a strong economy just showing up to play is enough to achieve your sales objectives. In today’s economic environment sales leaders are facing sales force downsizing and poor sales rep morale. Sales reps are frustrated by longer sales cycles, dropping demand, unrealistic quotas, concerns about declining income and losing their jobs.

ISOLATING OBJECTIONS
Very often when a customer objects, whatever he or she says is actually a white lie. The key to a successful sales call is for the representative to realize when this is the case and to overcome that white lie. It is completely necessary to be handling the real objection so it is possible to move ahead toward making the sale.

Ashamed of being in sales
Over the years I have met many sales people who are really good at selling, have all the ingredients, write great sales results and are highly valued by their companies, yet they never feel satisfied in their sales career. The afflicted sales person just feels a sense of unease and guilt about being in sales, a disquiet that never seems to get resolved.

Costing cutting at the expense of sales? Bad move
I don't know about you, but when markets start to tighten or when things feel a bit uncertain, instead of cost cutting and bunkering down, I have found that you need to do precisely the opposite. You need to invest in your sales efforts with good strategy, sales training, good sales management and good sales coaching.

Influencing vs Negotiating
It has often been said that very strong negotiation skills are critical to being a high performing sales person. However, findings from our "sales force fitness" profiling work, where we profile critical qualities for successful sales performance in many businesses, large and small, is telling a very different story.

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. Experience has shown that sales managers are even more critical than sales people for creating durable performance change

Leading a healthy sales career

It is well documented that being healthy (physically, emotionally, and mentally) is vital to leading an effective and productive life. In sales, your health is a critical factor to your success. Many highly successful sales people I meet are self disciplined in all aspects of their life ensuring they are fit, healthy and well trained in their profession. Having a healthy sales career is underpinned by the individuals healthy life style, and a well managed business which includes good sales support, clear goals and leadership.

The Entrepreneurial Sales Person

It seemed to me that successful sales people had a lot in common with successful entrepreneurs who are often the main sales people in their own businesses anyway.

How great leaders use values to drive performance

Great leaders instinctively know the importance of values. Values create the organizational culture. When articulated and implemented consistently, values reduce the need for close supervision, engender trust and co-operation with suppliers and customers, and raise performance.

What should my sales team expect from a successful Sales Coach?

Successful sales coaching requires patience, a good ear, curiosity and of course the ability to provide individual sales people or sales teams with the right information at the right time. These relationships empower the recipients with knowledge and the confidence to maneuver themselves toward the right outcomes. Wisdom is knowledge applied. Therefore the sales coach prefers not to impart his wisdom directly, instead coaching the sales people or sales team to find their wisdom through their own questioning, answering and experiences.

In addition to calling me a toad, Bob said that in the eighties he used to sell and manage at IBM and he led the top performing team. He finished by letting me know that we didn't know what we were talking about and, by the way, he would be picking me up at the airport for the kick-off of their national training initiative.

Are You Cut Out For A Career In Direct Selling

Anyone who elects to embark on a career in direct selling had better be able to sell. A person who chooses sales, even as a last resort, is making a tough decision to depend entirely on his/her own effort, pride, and willingness to practice long enough to succeed. It’s tough not to be able to hide behind a corporate security blanket, make excuses, or blame the product, the boss, the company, or anybody else. When they choose sales, they accept the risk to their egos, some people’s derision, and the fears of those not brave enough to stand up to that kind of heat. So, if a career in direct selling beckons, ask yourself the tough question – “Am I suited for a career in sales?”

Before starting your sale pitch in print, you got to be successful at “selling” the problem first. Think it this way…what is one reason most of your customers are buying from you?
