'Regardless of where your sales people are on the bell curve, they can get better. My good friend at Alliant Insurance Services, Ron Stewart, shared this piece of wisdom with me in our very first meeting: "Just because they aren''t sick doesn''t mean they can''t get better.". Over the last 20 years at Anthony Cole Training Group, I''ve been privileged to work with thousands of sales people.

'booty call: . A late night summons — often made via telephone — to arrange sexual liaisons on an ad hoc basis. Yup! This Urban dictionary definition pretty much nails what a booty call is. It’s when someone calls you late at night to hook up, usually when they have no other options, and after the bars have closed and they’ve struck out with everyone else.

'How many times have you thought you were about to close the deal and the client throws you a curve ball? How many times have you thought the sale was on track, when all of a sudden, BOOM, your prospect says they need more time or additional information? Does this sound familiar? There is nothing more frustrating than when a prospect or customer does something different than what they say, hen they become inconsistent, and send conflicting messages.

'My boi and fellow blogger Anthony Iannarino wrote this killer post the other day called; Stop Being Defensive. Anthony writes a great blog and this was another example of his good stuff. Here is the money quote from his post: When you’re defensive, you cause your prospective client to entrench in their own defense when you really want to open them up to possibilities and new ideas.

Companies all over the world, including Marriot International and Hilton Worldwide, are aware of the value of including DEI in their talent acquisition strategy.

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

'I love Matts post choice. In a series of personal development he shares what he’s learned from someone else. That’s wicked frickin’ smaaat! Great insight on floundering and improving our productivity. I’m a huge David Allen fan, using many of his productivity tenets as the foundation of my personal productivity system. I highly recommend reading Getting Things Done at minimum, and subscribing to his great newsletter.

'As most of this community knows, I spent the last week at a mogul ski camp. I spent 6 days on the snow looking to improve my bump skiing. Here is one of my training videos. My coach asked me not to use my poles and hold my hands up higher. He noticed I was too noisy with my poles and held my hands too low. The boa on the other hand rocked! It worked, despite not using my poles it was one of my most technically sound runs (in spite of two obvious separations).

'Reach is arguably the most valuable non-monetary asset in the world. What I mean by non-monetary is that it’s not a currency or commodity like gold or stocks and bonds. It’s not a tangible asset you can “own” or hold in your hand. But, it is a real asset that can be worth MILLIONS. You don’t believe me?
