As individuals concerned about quality of life and the environment, I am sure that you frequently consider how the environment affects your well-being.

My boss wants me to cold call, but I have call reluctance!
Words are meaningless without emotion and emotions are very hard to experience over the phone. In fact, over 50% of communication is achieved via non-verbal cues, such as facial expression, gesture and posture. That means most cold-callers, even the really good ones, are still limited by these phone related challenges. So be mindful, if you are choosing the telephone as your initial point of contact and introduction with a potential customer, you are already on the back foot, which means you need to work smarter.
Help! My sales team isn’t coping with the fallout from the GFC
Many sales people, for the first time, are experiencing tough times when it comes to selling and many are not sure how to handle themselves in these difficult situations.

For the past 12 years prior to 2008, at least, the business climate in our market place has been, for the most part, buoyant. As we all know it's very easy to sell when times are good. It now begs the question: How well have we prepared ourselves practically, emotionally, and physically to manage our way through these tough times?
