You Like Me...You Really, Really Like Me
| |
| Sometimes in the rush to judgement we forget how important it is for our sales force to build rapport and gain the trust of their prospects. This is particularly true given the current business climate. People have become suspicious, cautious, and protective. Everyone is playing defense. Many salespeople I’ve come in contact with recently have been more assertive in qualifying and jump immediately into product presentations rather than spending quality time to get to know the personal side of their prospect or determine their specific needs. Let finance determine whether your potential customer can buy while you focus on their buying motives. You will be better equipped to match the specific attributes of your product to the specific needs of your customer.

Master of the Show: P.T. Barnum is Born
| |
| The Fiji Mermaid, Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker, General Tom Thumb the Midget – besides being considered “freaks”, they all had in common one man, P.T. Barnum. He was a master showman whose rise to fame came in the 19th century thanks to his traveling “freak shows”. But Barnum was more than that; he was above all else an entrepreneur and a highly successful salesman. Barnum knew how to get people talking.

Business Owner Has Cleared the Clutter and the Stress to Find a More Productive Business
| |
| At one time, Cathy considered herself an organized person, but life has happened since then. Having twins and starting 2 different businesses has changed all that. Even still, she felt she had it pretty together and was progressing positively with her career
But in her husband's eyes, Cathy's strategies did not work. He saw documents, products, toys and boxes stacked in corners of her office and a frequently time-challenged wife. “He had a mission - he has been trying to organize me for the past year. He would get frustrated and I would get frustrated,” Cathy said, referring to her husband. He had tried several approaches including rearranging things himself, but nothing would stick. |

Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow Could be Your Veteran Salespeople
| |
| Barry Manilow dominated the 70's with hits like "I Write the Songs" and "Copacabana". Rod Stewart dominated the 70's and 80's with hits like "Tonight's the Night" and "Hot Legs". But they are far more alike than that. They are both skinny 65 year-olds with coiffed blond hair and in the last few years received horrible face lifts. Oh yeah, women love them. Could they be the same guy? Were they separated at birth?
And they both behave like veteran salespeople!

Get a Grip with Others
| |
| I was driving back home after the birth of my grandson, Jorden. The birth, the miracle, the blessing and yet he made me aware of a poignant deficit in our lives. From the minute he was born, that baby wanted to get a grip. It didn't matter if it was Mama's breast or Daddy's finger; he had to get a grip. It was a natural instinct to make a human connection.
I thought about how isolated working people have become today. We don't have time for ourselves let alone others. I remember 31 years ago when my first child was born and how we would go on picnics with our neighbors. If I didn't have pictures of our camping trips I believe I would have sworn we never had time to just take off for days for the woods. No phone? No computer? No kidding!
We'll devote an entire segment on how to Get a Grip with friends later in your book but here we're |

Leaders are Made, not Born
| |
| Imagine picking up your newspaper and finding these announcements in the "Births" section:
BIRTHS
Mr. and Mrs. Blue Collar proudly announce the birth of Jack, a construction foreman. At 13 lbs., 12 oz., he arrived with a bellowing cry and tattoos, and whistling rudely at the nurses.
Wilma and Sam Klutz are sad to announce the arrival of an underachiever. Mia Klutz came complete with slumped shoulders, listless eyes and a whiny cry. Birth was by caesarian section.
