Salespeople and sales organizations work very hard to differentiate themselves and their offerings as a way to create a competitive advantage. Many believe their company is the differentiation. Others think their solutions provide differentiation. Few would dare to describe their people as their competitive advantage, even when it is true. Even fewer would recognize caring as their competitive advantage and the superpower that it is in an age of commoditization and the conflation of everything t

Your San Antonio Dentists
NOVEMBER 27, 2019

The great thing about modern dentistry, however, is that it has found ways of bypassing patient’s fears and helping to make the experience much more pleasant.

Désolé pour ce titre quelque peu rageur ! Mais je n’en peux plus d’entendre les points de vue négatifs sur le RGPD que certains prétendus “professionnels” font passer pour vrais. Je reviens du WTM où des dizaines d’hôteliers m’ont dit avoir arrêté leurs campagnes de fidélisation parce qu’ils n’avaient plus le droit d’envoyer d’e-mailings à leurs propres clients.

You are always telling yourself and others stories. Those stories include the meaning you attach to your thoughts, beliefs, and experiences, and you may frame them as positive or negative or neutral. How you frame your views, beliefs, and experiences largely determine your overall mindset. It also plays a massive role in your overall success and well-being.

A lesson learned the summer after I nearly failed English 101 over Lord Tennyson’s poem, “The Brook.” My teacher challenged my classmates and I to read the poem to ourselves. “Euphony,” my teacher professed, was the magic of the poem, and our final was to tell the class what we heard as we read it.

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

Desire to Win : You aren’t going to win if you can live with a loss. You are not going to win if there isn’t something burning inside you. The burning desire is the starting point of winning. You have to want it like you want your next breath. You have to feel it, like a hunger , an unquenchable, insatiable need, one that isn’t easily going to be assuaged.

Some salespeople still open the first meeting with a prospective client by sharing their company’s history as a way of establishing the right to be in the room with a decision-maker. They’ll also share the company’s locations and the names and pictures of the people who make up their leadership team. After proving their company is stable and established, they move onto sharing who their clients are, offering the social proof that other companies have chosen to work with them.

The most significant barrier to producing the results you want stares back at you from your mirror when you are brushing your teeth. Because we are running headlong into a new decade, my focus is on the next ten years. It will be ten years ago on December 28th that I decided to write and post daily here.

Zig Ziglar said: “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” It’s a classic line from a legendary speaker. If I had to guess the cause of Zig’s zinger, my money would be that it was his retort to a challenge from a skeptical audience member. I want to take a slightly different view here to make a point.

As I reflect back on the last ten years I have spent writing a daily blog post here, I am grateful for the friends I have made here, the people who read the Sunday newsletter each week and send me their notes and thoughts. I am thankful for the support from this community of people who care about selling well and with integrity, who want to do good work and recognize that those words imply something more than quality, and who care about building a life of their own design.

If you want something you don’t have, there are several reasons why you are having trouble acquiring it. Lack of Clarity : If you don’t have a very clear picture of what you want, you are not likely to obtain it. You might want more money, but while you might have a few dollars more, it isn’t exactly what you want. You might want a new career, but unless and until you define exactly what that new career needs to provide you, changing your job or your work isn’t likely to give you what you are mi

The amount of time you spend on the very few activities necessary to achieve a goal or a specific outcome is one way to measure how important is the goal , and how serious you are about making it. It is easier to want something than it is to bring that thing to life. More time spent in pursuit of what’s most important is proof that you are willing to do the work necessary to reach your goal.

I first wrote about this competency in early 2010. If you are in the field selling, it isn’t difficult to determine what clients want and need from the people outside their company that they are considering making part of their team. It is also apparent that competencies that are missing cause them to look elsewhere for what they recognize by its absence.

There is tremendous value in outcomes-based thinking. One of the reasons people struggle to produce the results they’re capable of is that they lack goals, and a focus on the outcome. For example, maybe you want to win a new deal. But you don’t win a deal. Instead, you do all the things necessary to produce the outcomes that eventually result in a prospective client signing a document that makes them an actual client.

In times of economic uncertainty, account-based strategies are essential. According to several business analysts and practitioners, ABM is a necessity for creating more predictable revenue.

Success is an auditor. It measures the precursors to success to determine who gets to obtain it—and for how long. It is quite often that people misunderstand what success is measuring, mistaking luck and circumstances, things outside of their control with the things that are within their control. Talent : Some believe that talent is what is necessary for success.

If you look at people who produce excellent results and lead their field, if you pay attention and look closely, you will notice that they do the hard things that others seek to avoid. If you look a bit longer and quite a bit deeper, you may catch a glimpse of why they choose to do hard things. What you will notice is that doing hard things prevents them from suffering the adverse outcomes most others experience.

I tried to convince my publisher to name my second book, The Art of Commitment-Gaining. They called it The Lost Art of Closing. Some people equate the word “closing” with a self-oriented, pushy, high-pressure form of selling that is now so rare as to be remarkable when you experience it. Even though the word “closing” still carries a negative connotation, success in sales is, in large part, built on gaining commitments.

Recently, a young man told me that he couldn’t read books because he has a learning disability that prevents him from being able to read. No one believes they have a learning disability until someone tells them they have one. The same people diagnosed as not being able to learn seem to know all kinds of things and are super competent in different areas.

Winning a new deal is complicated. Not only does it take time, but it also takes effort. If you don’t invest the time and effort, you are unlikely to win your dream client’s business. But you are not the only party that has to put forth the effort for you to successfully create an opportunity and a better outcome. The contacts within your dream client’s company also have to put forth the effort necessary, making your dream client’s effort as a measure of whether or not you will win their busines

It is always a no until it’s a yes. When your success requires that you ask people for commitments , you can expect to hear no as many—or more times than you hear yes. It is the nature of the endeavor we call selling, and no one, no matter how skilled, is free from this experience. It is essential to recognize that the word no only means not now and that you have not been personally rejected.

As a leader , you will never have all the talent you need. No matter how good your company is, no matter how great your employee value proposition, some talented people will work elsewhere. There are only two strategies for acquiring the talent you need, buying it, or building it. Even companies that can afford to purchase expertise do not end up with a monopoly on the most talented people, most of whom aren’t seeking new opportunities.

Salespeople who sell a product or service with a higher price complain that it is more difficult to sell , believing their competitors with a lower price have it better. Many withhold their pricing as long as possible because they are worried the high price will cost them their deal when that strategy is the very thing that makes it more difficult for them to win.
