In this blog article, we discuss the best advice sales managers can give their salespeople, and that is to "keep moving." If you want to increase sales within your organization, you must keep moving throughout the ups and downs, the missed opportunities, the clients who "ghost" you, and more.

Gap Selling has been out for over a year now and one of the most common questions I’m asked is, how is Gap Selling different than Solution Selling. Understanding how often I get this request, I thought I’d share my thoughts here and help folks understand they differ. To illustrate, I feel it best to point to an article in the Harvard Biz Review , written by the authors of the Challenger Sale.

This is NOT the new normal. NOR SHOULD WE EVER ACCEPT IT as such. When have human beings ever succumbed to their FEARS when faced with threats that, at the time, were considered “existential?” When have we ever decided to give up WITHOUT A FIGHT? When have we ever gone backward, building something less than what preceded it after a crisis?

There’s a little secret to selling that I’d like to share with you. It’s pretty simple yet far too many salespeople don’t do it and it costs them quota, presidents club and more. We have a tendency to be product-centric. We lean too heavily on our product, product features, and product benefits. We get excited and when given the chance we start sharing all the wonderful things our product does, and how it’s the greatest thing ever.

At the time of this writing, there is a coronavirus of pandemic proportions spreading across the world. This virus is infecting many and taking the lives of some, especially the vulnerable. The stock market has been in free fall, and when it hasn’t, it’s been more volatile than ever. The airlines have had to adjust their scheduled flights to prevent losing more money as people stop traveling, a strategy that is unavailable to hotels and restaurants, who are also suffering the economic downturn a

Companies all over the world, including Marriot International and Hilton Worldwide, are aware of the value of including DEI in their talent acquisition strategy. However, despite these initiatives, there is still plenty that the hospitality sector can do to promote DEI. When comparing the hospitality industries in India, Iraq, the UK, and the US, you will see that there is a consistent underrepresentation of persons from different ethnic, gender, and disability origins across all levels of the i

The time for you to start climbing out of the hole that you find yourself in is now. There is no benefit from waiting to begin your recovery.

In severe and challenging times, your fear can cause you to feel that you are going to lose the things that are most important to you. The internet meme that the word fear means “false evidence appearing real,” is a nice thought, but in our present situation, there is a real and present danger, one we are working to overcome. There are, however, many things you are not going to lose during our emergency.

Imagine a story that follows this path. Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy marries girl. Or how about this story. Girl goes into the wild. Nothing happens. She goes home. Our stories follow a particular, easily recognized pattern. The protagonist is a rube, one who is innocent, unaware. Some external force provides a call to adventure, and our protagonist is compelled to act.

There is an ongoing conversation on the social channels as to whether one should continue selling through a crisis. Some suggest selling during times like this is to be tone-deaf, that it ignores the nature of our global emergency. Like most things, there is some truth to the idea that business-as-usual, ignoring the severity of the circumstances, may make one appear to be self-oriented.

There used to be a saying that when the United States sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Increasingly, as the world has gotten much smaller and flatter, our interconnectedness has made us both more durable and more fragile. It no longer matters who sneezes when all of us can catch something far worse than a cold. A virus that begins in one country can easily hop a ride across the largest of boundaries, the oceans, on the daily international flights that allow us access to the world.

There is a value to being optimistic when it comes to attaining your goals. Pessimists pay for their negativity by making it more complicated—and less likely—to reach their goals in large part because their beliefs make it more difficult. Your ideas drive your actions, and your actions produce your results. If you believe this is true, starting with an optimistic attitude is step one of attaining your goals.

Your business may have been shut down entirely, or you may have been required to work from home. You might still be being asked to “shelter-in-place” or “shelter-at-home,” like those of us in Ohio. For the past month or so, there has been no business-as-usual. If you are in sales, it’s been challenging to get a face-to-face appointment , as some companies haven’t allowed visitors into their buildings.

The internet is full of content, much of it designed to capture attention—and clicks, likes, and shares. The more controversial the idea, the more attention it is likely to garner. The most commonly used strategy is to describe something as “dead” as a way to drive traffic, infecting those who are susceptible with the idea they should avoid doing the work required of the result they seek.

The idea that “sales is a numbers game” contains an absolute truth worth observing. The truth is that selling requires action or “ activity ” if you prefer. All things being equal, more activity is better than little—or no—activity. But activity alone is not enough to produce success, even if one occasionally bumps into success by taking massive action.

For a very long time, salespeople have been taught to start sales presentations with their company’s story as a way to gain credibility with their prospective clients. Most of the slide decks provided by marketing departments and sales enablement start the conversation with information about the company, believing the contacts have to decide what company they are going to select as a partner.

There are sales organizations with anemic pipelines and too few opportunities struggling to find growth. Some of these companies have decided to separate prospecting from the rest of the sales process, believing they will improve their sales results by having an SDR do the prospecting , handing-off a “qualified” prospect to a senior salesperson. The idea is that by eliminating prospecting from the top salesperson’s duties, they can focus all their time on “closing” deals.

If you are going to be changed by this crisis, the right place to start is by being more grateful , especially for the things we take for granted.
