How the deal was lost
Unless we take responsibility for negative, as well as positive results, we learn nothing and earn even less

RAISING VENTURE CAPITAL IN TOUGH TIMES
It’s no secret that it’s not as easy as it used to be to raise money for your business. Longer investment cycles, suppressed valuations, and limited opportunities to cash out of deals has made venture capitalists increasingly selective. As a result, many VCs look only at companies they know and have invested in before, rather than pursuing new deals.
Goal Setting for Outstanding success
Most salespeople think about goal setting,but very few people do it . They get stuck in a rut and lose sight of what they wanted to achieve. Everything gets on top of you and you lose your way, this is were everybody goes wrong, well not in all cases, but most!
GETTING THE STRAIGHT SCOOP
Win or lose, how diligent are you in placing a call to get feedback from your clients about why they did or didn’t choose you? There is so much to learn — whether to identify strengths you hadn’t even recognized as such that you can use to win future business, to know what appeals most to your client so you can be extra sure to deliver on that, or to correct misses and prevent them from happening to sink future deals.
The Sales Force with Over Achievers Who Don't
I think that many CEO's are in denial. Despite the struggles of their sales force, they continue to look at the pipeline and say to themselves, we'll be okay as soon as these deals close. But the deals aren't closing and with each passing day companies are less okay then they were the day before.
When to say no to a deal. If you want grow say no!
Wait, before you say, "I did this really small job and it lead to a bigger one, so I never turn down a deal." If you want to think that way, it's OK, but if you want to get to the next level, you need to think differently. I have a very successful client in Hollywood that I work with, he hired me to help him make the jump to the elite level of 8 figure deals. I told him the same thing I'm telling you, say, "No to 80%." He was so challenged by this until I explained to him that the deals he was getting now were the ones turned down by the elite level 8 figure guys. If you want 8 figure deals you have think like an 8 figure guy and NOT take 6 figure deals.

NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL
Many salespeople are reporting that it is taking them twice as long to close a sale. They also agree that there are fewer deals and, therefore, the need for them to close the deals that are in the pipeline is more acute. Certainly customers will not buy without clear value justification and trust in you. But what else can you do to increase your chances that you, not your competitor, get the business that is out there?
Sales Motivation - Self analysis questions to keep you motivated in Sales

Do You REALLY Want to Lose Weight?
You say you really want to lose weight, yet either you don't lose it or you lose it only to gain it back. Discover the underlying cause of this and what you can do to permanently lose weight.
Learn the Value of a Solid Cash Buyers List
As a real estate mentor I encourage my new students to start building their lists long before I send them out writing offers, or even prospecting sellers. It is a matter of not “putting the cart before the horse.” I continue to hear of would-be wholesalers prospecting deals without having an adequate list of qualified buyers in their arsenals. You know what happens to these people? They end up having to leave their deals behind because they have no one to buy their contracts!
Three Primary Reasons To Become An Entrepreneur
For some time, I've written and spoken about the difference between two basic types of person out there these days: The Victim, and The Entrepreneur. The Victim needs to be taken care of... the Entrepreneur takes care of herself, and others. The Victim is competitive, and views life as a win-lose (sometimes even a lose-lose) proposition; the Entrepreneur is collaborative, and sees life as win-win. Victims blame others; Entrepreneurs are self-reliant, and get things done....
