Getting back to the sales basics

I don't know about you but recently I have found myself getting more and more distracted by the latest trend and fads, especially the social media phenomena. My reason for this is that I have been trying to get my head around social media and specifically, the impact on the sales profession. I like to keep on top of what is current, what is emerging, and what is still an idea. This is why I make time each week to do research as it helps me navigate my way around the present and into the future. However, I am finding there is so much to read, so much to get my head around, and so much to integrate into my business that it can take up a lot of time... and it only seems to be increasing. I read recently that 20 years ago information was doubling every 5 years, 10 years ago it was doubling every 18 months and today

It's not about who you know...

For years smart people have been saying "It's not about what you know, it's about WHO you know!" Well, I'm here to disagree. I know lots of people that have absolutely no value to my business. How much is my favorite grocery clerk going to help my business? What about the lawn service that cuts my grass, or the staff at the local Kinko's? Yeah, I know, they MIGHT be able to make a referral some day. And the worlds is going to be destroyed by a global nuclear war. And I'm not waiting around for either. Personally, I don't think who you know is nearly as important as who knows you. If you want to make change happen and move mountains of bureaucratic crap that make us all a bit crazy, making sure others know you is where you need to focus.

Spend Analysis versus Spend Intelligence: More Than a Semantical Difference

I believe the phrase "spend intelligence" to be misleading. To me, it sounds like a new take or sub-segment of business intelligence software applications which offer analytics and dashboard capabilities and sit on top of existing systems of record. The problem is that spend visibility and analytics is much more complex, requiring data cleansing, rationalization, classification and other efforts which go far beyond what is needed to gain insight into basic HR, financials, IT and other internal information, which fall cleanly in to the BI camp.

10+ Ways to Find Clients

The first challenge of most business owners is to find prospects who turn into clients, but how and where to find them can be a puzzler. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet that instantly generates a slew of clients. What usually has to happen is that we surface a number of suspects (people we SUSPECT may be interested in products and/or services such as ours), and from that pool we find our PROSPECTS, or people who are prospective purchasers if all needs and conditions are satisfied. Finally, when the decision to purchase is made, we have clients (or customers or patients or members or whatever you wish to call them).

Forget Cold Calling!

Why do we cold call? No one really likes it, it rarely works, and just thinking about doing it causes people more stress then actually doing it. Why do sales coaches continue to encourage us to do it? If you want to be successful in today's business environment forget cold calling. Put more emphasis on networking, building referral sources, and continuing to deepen long established client relationships. Work on establishing yourself as an industry expert and resource, increase your visibility through marketing and public relations, and find opportunities to consistently add value to all your relationships. Forget cold calling, invest in relationships and value added information. Makes sales more fun, easy and far more effective!

The True Cost of Free Marketing, and How to Choose the Right Marketing Tactics for Your Business

How to Effectively Manage Remote Workteams

As an outsourcing company, we work with offshore workteams as a matter of course. The two most pressing challenges we continually face are those of managing and measuring the outsourcing performance of our remote workteam, and facilitating communication between local co-workers and the remote workteam as they collaborate on projects.
