The Man Who Sold Hot Dogs
One of my favorite tales and rather timely, enjoy.
Persistence.
I’ve often been curious to hear the responses given by individuals of substantial success when asked about their methods or secrets. The secrets of the wealthy, the winners, the business elite. Over the years, I’ve heard some remarkable responses, and some quite simple doctrines as well. I once at a conference listened to a rather engaging older gentleman profess that his secret was writing goals on a small piece of plywood, and then sleeping with it under his pillow. Honestly I thought to try it, once, no more than twice, but the idea of an inordinate amount of splinters ravaging my cheeks kept me from running to Home Depot for sharpies and 2×4’s.
No is a Positive Outcome in Sales
There are numerous studies that reveal that 87% of sales people working the telephone give up after the first attempt. By extrapolation this means that only 13% follow up more than once. Another 10% give up after a second call. Only about 3% of reps follow up more than twice. Which do you think have a higher rate of success? To get more positive responses you have to hear more nos. You hear more no’s (and more positive responses) by following up every lead and every opportunity. To get more positive responses you must be tenacious on following up leads. Get the ‘no’s’ out of the way. Being perseverant and persistent is the key and it requires two things: a follow-up system and self-discipline.

Marketing Accommodation Options to Mature Age Prospects.
An Article I wrote with the provocative title "The End of Retirement Villages? Yes Please!" generated a few robust responses from Australian providers of community-style accommodation for the 55+'s - which they typically choose to market as "Retirement Villages". Those responses have confirmed I need to clarify the concerns I attempted to raise in that article - firstly the importance of selecting, and communicating, the right name and market position for your accommodation option's target, and secondly, changing the reality of the lifestyle your accommodation option offers to prospective residents.

People ARE listening! The question is – Are you saying anything worth hearing?
Are you communicating something compelling that is short and concise? Does it give anything of value? Or are you becoming a victim of “light listening” as you fail to get to any point in a timely manner?

How to Make “Time” for Timely Sales Meetings
The benefits of sales meetings and consistent and timely connections outside the front line include improvement in readiness, recharging, repeatability and retention. If these benefits are important, then how do you ensure your meetings are timely? Here are several ways.

Communications and Safety Culture: I heard it through the grapevine.
A grapevine scenario could be triggered post-accident, if appropriate information (status of the injured, corrective action planning, etc) is not given to staff on a timely basis.

Timely Financial Reporting
Timely financial information and interpretation of results can help companies determine who are their most profitable customers and which customers continuously make payments late. This can give a company a warning about an imminent cashflow crisis and allow the company to put credit or collections policies in place so the customers make payments sooner. Compare it to having your teeth cleaned every six months or waiting a year or so before going to the dentist. It’s a lot harder to correct problems once time has gone by and many problems get worse with time. Preventative maintenance allows issues to be addressed in a timely manner and a plan established to turn things around.
