Bridging the Victory Gap The 6 Steps to Success Part 1
In business, you don’t have to be vastly superior to your competition to win the lion’s share of the market. You must simply be marginally better than the competition on a consistent basis. That consistency is achieved by focusing on Critical Victory Factors (CVF’s); those skills and attributes that are essential for success. Great athletes continuously practice and train to enhance the CVF’s relevant to their sport. For instance, a marathon runner doesn’t work on upper body strength while a sprinter does. Business is no different. Consistent superior performance in business can be realized by focusing on the entrepreneur’s CVF’s.
The Dynamic U-Method™ of Management For Creating Higher Employee Productivity and Business Loyalty
Many years ago, struggling to learn the ropes as a young manager, I had the good fortune to stumble upon a gentleman who was one of the finer managers I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. This man had a genuine knack for getting along with his 300 employees, inspiring them to give “100%,” while maintaining quality standards far superior to anything else in his industry. His business operation was always profitable, even in those cyclical “lean times”, seemingly because of one reason ... superior employee morale! Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I can offer you an opportunity to review and understand a potentially better way for managing your employees for higher productivity and loyalty.
How to deal with bargain hunters and price shoppers
Do you believe that the better your product or service, the more it will sell, and soon the world will beat a path to your door? Do you ever feel like pulling your hair out trying to convince people that your stuff is superior quality? Do you ever get so frustrated because no matter how you try to explain, some people are so thick headed, the only difference they can see is the price? If you answer “yes”, you have a marketing problem. And advertising is not going to be your magic solution. In fact, it will only make your problem worse, and that’s exactly why so many ads don’t work.
Money comes to you when you do this one thing!
What is the solution you offer your clients? Not what you think the solution is, but the actual solution. The greater the solution, the more money they are willing to give you.

The Future of Sales
For centuries, the sales model has been focused on placing a solution. Given the complexity of business these days, having the right solution to manage a ‘need’ is not enough to help buyers choose your solution. Buyers live in a very complex world now. With global stakeholders, economic downturns, enlarged decision teams, and an almost limitless number of options – all available at the drop of a hat – competition is far more complex than being addressed by us having a good solution and giving great service. And as a result, we’re having greater difficulty closing sales. We’d like to think it’s ‘the economy, stupid.’ But in reality, the problem is more complex.
Prospects Aren't Really Prospects
Sales has a goal: find a prospect with a need and sell a solution. You can call it anything you want, use all of the fancy terms about serving your client, be a Trusted Advisor or a Relationship Manager, do whatever you can to understand need and make nice. But at the end of the day, your job as a seller is to place your solution. Unfortunately, we do it the long, hard way: we assume - and this is a baseline assumption in the sales industry - that when we notice a ‘need' that our solution can fulfill, we have a prospect. Yet we consistently close 7% of our ‘prospects.' Obviously our assumption that a prospect with a need which our solution can resolve is a specious assumption.

First Contact: What to Do, Why, and How to Get Better Results
Depending on the selling approach you're using, you are closing between .6% - 7% , regardless of size of solution or industry. These numbers are far lower than they need to be: so long as your primary focus is on making a sale and you focus on needs assessment and solution choice (factors which are the buyer's final considerations), and ignore the change management issues buyers must handle before they choose a solution, you are delaying a close by a factor of 8.
