Virtual relationships aren’t new and neither are virtual business relationships. What is new are the expectations and the tools. Instead of in-person meetings, we are now expected to meet via Zoom, GoToMeeting, Facebook Live. Technology is consistently providing us with more and better ways to connect.

You should never be surprised by routine objections , concerns, and challenges in the sales conversation. The fact that you hear the same objections from different clients, during different stages of the sales conversation, should motivate you to design and prepare effective talk tracks. Likewise, anxiety-inducing statements like “let me meet with my team and get back to you in a couple weeks” are a normal part of consultative sales, so you can learn to predict them and deal with the problem.

Yet, each morning I step into our new offices (we moved into a modified space at the Roger Smith Hotel on 47th and Lexington), I bear witness to the stunning convergence of the times.

Yesterday, a sales leader asked me a question that sales leaders should ask more often: “ How do I get my salespeople to prospect? ” In this case, the leader explained, his sales force didn’t believe they should be calling their clients and prospects because of the pandemic, since they thought their clients “weren’t ready” to take calls from a salesperson.

I recently bought a relatively expensive Garmin watch —one nice enough that I can wear it when exercising but keep it on for a business meeting. It helps me better capture, monitor, and track several health-related metrics. It also sends the data to my doctor and my trainer, to help me be more proactive about my health. The most important metric for me right now is sleep, the number one influence on my overall health and attitude.

In every area of your life, you are responsible for creating the circumstances and the results you want for yourself and your people. You have no greater responsibility, and no one else can do this work for you. Fulfilling that responsibility demands radical personal accountability. Don’t Blame Poor Results on External Factors. It’s tempting to use external factors to explain away poor results because it seems to absolve us of responsibility.

The idea of making a single discovery call to uncover your client’s present dissatisfaction has been displaced by complex, consultative sales conversations. The evolution of modern sales continues to require more of salespeople, in large part because clients need more help making good decisions for their business. Here are a few ideas about the evolution of discovery.

Sometimes, the habits driving success are visible, especially success in areas where others routinely struggle. But it’s easy to miss the underlying cause: successful people demand more of themselves than anyone else would require of them. They don’t need anyone to ask them, remind them, nudge them, coax them, or beg and plead with them to do the things they need to do.

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.

The value of virtual selling exists on a continuum, going from simple, transactional sales to large, complex sales. Because the outcomes on these poles are so different, virtual selling will operate differently depending on the type of sale. Larger, Complex Deals Will Include More Face-To-Face Meetings. While many companies and sales leaders believe that virtual sales will eliminate the need to travel, that outcome is unlikely.

Many people believe that and behave as if another person should imbue their work with meaning and purpose. You might be lucky enough to work for a genuinely inspirational leader on occasion, but even that inspiration tends to fade over time. Fortunately, finding meaning and purpose in your work is something you can and must do for yourself: the root cause is both internal and within your control.

When I first became a sales leader , I sat down to figure out how to accelerate our revenue growth.

This list is not in any particular order, and many of the attributes or character traits depend on others. Similarly, while no single item listed here prevents you from being consultative, the more of them you possess, the less likely you are to be consultative. 1. Lack of Experience. There is a certain unfairness to this obstacle: how can you be expected to have experience before you have an opportunity to gain that experience?

One of the most effective ways to clarify that value is by teaching your client the difference between your model and your competitor’s model. The Starting Line.
