Dear Salespeople That Straight Pitch Me, While I consider you my sisters and brothers, we need to talk. Every day, you fill my inbox and my LinkedIn inbox with notes straight pitching me what you sell. No one wants you to succeed in sales as much as I do, including you, and whomever it was that taught you that pitching over email is your best choice for acquiring new clients or customers.

Do you ever think this about your work experience? “I must get the relevant internship during my hospitality degree so that I can then get the right job after graduation” “If I want to work in hotels, all other experience is irrelevant, so I will only do internships in hotels” “I cannot learn things I need to know in my future hospitality career if I do an internship in another industry or field” Well, you’re not alone.

Il y a quelque temps, nous sommes allés faire un point avec un groupe d’hôtels. Lié à leur histoire et leur loyauté – ils travaillaient depuis des années avec un confrère pour la gestion de leur relation clients avant / après séjour – ils n’utilisaient parmi nos services que nos solutions d’e-mailing. Leur PMS et leur Channel Manager étaient bien connectés ; mais le PMS ne permettait aucune connexion 2-way (remontée et descente des informations) avec tout autre élément hormis leur Ch

With a Deferred Sales Trust, you can avoid paying any capital gains taxes at the time of sale.

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

There is work you need to do now that you are not doing. You are avoiding this work because it isn’t the work you want to do. You procrastinate and busy yourself with the tasks and distractions you prefer, leaving the unpleasant but necessary work undone, lessening your results. Motivation and inspiration are fleeting. Discipline is enduring, persistent.

It’s the ninth day of January, the beginning of a New Year—and the start of a new decade. Right about this time, the will and discipline of a week ago has dissipated, and if you are like most people, you have reverted to the comfort of old, well-ingrained habits. If you allow yourself to lose a contest with your habits, your year is going to be a repeat of last year—or maybe the last seven or eight years.

Not too long ago, people believed the most significant changes in business-to-business sales were the internet and the social channels. Both the internet and social media were supposed to change sales forever, eliminating salespeople—along with everything that came before Twitter. While the internet is a major disruptive force, its real power is its ability to enable more significant challenges.

One of the things that makes one a leader is the responsibility to make decisions. Many of the decisions you make are obvious and easy calls. Other choices are more complicated, and some of the more challenging decisions require you decide even though you lack information. Some of the hardest decisions you will struggle to make will be difficult, political, unpopular, and require the will to act.

One of the more challenging commitments you must gain in sales is the commitment for time. To obtain that commitment, you must prospect. You might ask yourself, “How do I prospect more effectively?” You make prospecting easier when you have a framework and a strategy that produces results. Here is what you need to prospect effectively in B2B sales. Start Your Prospecting with a Plan.

Price is always going to be a factor your prospective client considers when deciding whether to buy your solution. What gets lost in the sales conversation around investments is the higher cost that results from accepting a lower price. Price Is What You Pay. There are always people and companies who want—or need—to save money. By lowering their costs, they improve their profitability.

In Eat Their Lunch: Winning Customers Away from Your Competition , I wrote about salespeople who struggle because they try to leverage things like their company’s history, and their leadership team, to create a competitive advantage in B2B sales. Unfortunately, the idea that your competitive advantage is external is not only incorrect; it produces precisely the opposite effect.

The currency of leadership is communication. In many organizations, there is a poverty of communication, with leaders infrequently transmitting information while also conveying too little meaning. No one thing makes for effective leadership. The attributes and characteristics are too many and too diverse, and you cannot contain them in a singular idea.

What one person can do, another person can do. What one person will do, another person may not. One of the variables to unlocking success is your willingness to keep doing the right thing long enough that you achieve the result you want. Don’t Give Up Too Soon. One of the reasons you may struggle to produce a specific result is that you give up too soon, abandoning the strategy, the tactics, or the approach that others have proven effective.

Outside of door-to-door sales, there may not be a better first role in sales than Sales Development Representative. Because your purpose is primarily prospecting, you build the habit of scheduling meetings that you can convert into opportunities. You also overcome any fear you might have had over calling prospects, something that prevents many in sales from succeeding.

At the start of each year, sales organizations begin their year with new, larger revenue goals, something that is true whether or not they reached their goals in the prior year. More often than not, there is no plan to attain the new goals besides the directive to “go and sell more.” The companies that reach their goals will do so through the efforts of their top producers, who will find a way to meet and exceed their goals.

Effective leadership isn’t easy. A good part of effective leading is communication. While most leaders believe they communicate well, and while this may be true, it is often too infrequent and to a too-small and too-exclusive audience.

Selling is simple. It requires certain activities and outcomes that allow you to create and win new opportunities. These activities are well known and equally well documented. They are taught and trained and written about and captured on video. Because something is simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy. In fact, some of the simplest things are difficult in execution.

For a very long time, we in sales have counted on our companies and our solutions to provide differentiation , something that has become increasingly difficult over time. Thankfully, there are factors outside of our companies and our solutions for those of us who work in industries where winning new business often means displacing your competitors. Many of these factors do more to create a preference to work with you and your company than any differentiation outside of the value you create.
