    Sales Managers: You'll Set More Appointments With Better Call Analysis

    Supplier Selection and the Importance of a Style Match
    Any software package you buy on the market has had its production cycle. It started as a specific development for a certain company and it evolved from there onwards. Behinds this process, behind the functionality of this package are driving forces at work. The fundamental choices and options of the a
    Over the years, I have observed many salespeople and their routines – daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. It is my belief that many salespeople waste a great deal of time. Some of the common time wasters are (there are many others, this is just a quick list):

    ·poor prospecting
    ·spending too much time with poor prospects
    ·not having a clear plan for their day/week/month/year/life
    ·starting too late in the day/ending too soon
    ·redundant time habits (this would take a book to cover)
    ·not concentrating on a task at hand
    ·lacking focus

    I am not suggesting that you work 18 hour days, take work home with you on weekends, ignore your family and have no fun. I have been selling for over 35 years and have worked very few 18 hour days. I have worked (writing) several 24 hour marathons, but it is difficult to find someone to sell to at 3:00 AM.

    I am suggesting you look at your personal work habits to see where you could be a little busier – not in busy work – but productive sales activities. My guess is that most salespeople don’t work that hard (hours). I can hear a few of you screaming now, “Are you nuts? I hustle every day all week long.” Great, I am not talking to you, but to those who could benefit from a little extra effort each day /week /month. And, you know who you are, don’t’ you?

    Hustle is not about working longer or harder for the sake of work.

    1. It is about getting to a prospect before your competitor does.

    2. It is about spending time in self-help books rather than in front of the TV every night.

    3. It is about getting up an hour earlier every day to plan. It is about having breakfast/lunch/dinner with a client or prospect rather than eating alone.

    Do you Feel Confident about Buying the Business?
    After years of working for other people you decided it is time to take the plunge you feel it is time to purchase your own business. The model you are looking at seems to be perfect, however your gut instinct tells you there is something not quiet right. Generally speaking if your instincts tell you so

    What Is Your Business Really About?
    When someone starts up a new business, it’s important to think about what it is their business really is. What service are they truly providing people? It may surprise owners that what they thought their business is isn’t really what their customers think it is.Say for example you own a gas stat

    Improve to Lead: A New Leaderhip Phase
    Phrases like “walk the talk” and “lead by example” are commonplace management and leadership language. These phrases provide frameworks for discussion on effective leadership. I’ve even used them in past articles. That said, I want to make the case today that it is not enough in today’s marketplace

You’ve now entered the down-season where spending decreases and everyone falls into the winter blahs. Now what d
