The Forgotten Sales Metric

A Sales Guy

We measure a lot of things in sales. Some sales organizations are fanatical about metrics, others not so much. Either way, measurement is part of sales. It’s what makes sales such a unique monster. There is no place to hide. Sales is an objective environment. With all the measuring sales does, there has been one measurement that rarely shows up on our dashboards.

Selling Overshadows Sales & Marketing 2.0 Conference

A Sales Guy

I suppose, to expect the act of selling to be at a minimum during this weeks Sales and Marketing 2.0 Conference was a bit naive. What should I have expected from conference attended by a few hundred sales and marketing people? This was my first Sales 2.0 Conference and I didn’t know what to expect.

Good Speaks For Itself

A Sales Guy

The other day I got my hair cut. The stylist’s name was Christine and she was good. She didn’t have to tell me she was good. I just knew it. Her attention to detail was excellent. She asked me questions along the way to make sure I got the cut I was looking for. She spent extra time on the difficult areas.

Your Creative Eye

A Sales Guy

I need your creative eye. I’m considering a new look for this blog as well as creating a web page for A Sales Guy Consulting.
