    The Axiom of Value
    For the last 100 years, companies have relied on traditional advertising in the form of catchy jingles, TV commercials, billboards, print ads in newspapers and magazines, direct mail, hot air balloons, and waving mascots. The technique is to interrupt a radio listener, TV viewer, or magazine r

    Doing All The Right Things - For All The Wrong Reasons - The Lessons To Business
    As a former CEO of a publicly-traded company, I have watched the emerging revelations of corporate wrongdoing with more than a passing interest. While filled with the same revulsion shared by many to the immoral, illegal and greedy actions of some companies and their leaders, I am also concern
    One of the biggest mistakes poor salespeople make is THEY TALK TOO MUCH. The second is: THEY GIVE INFORMATION BEFORE THEY GET IT.

    When you make these mistakes, you will tend to turn off most potential customers or clients. I remember my first sales position back in the early 60s. I worked for one of the top 5 insurance companies in the world. They fired me after 6 months. When you don’t sell anything for 6 months…….well, I am surprised it took them so long. There were a number of reasons why I failed, and I don’t intend to bore you with all of them – just one, to illustrate the point of this week’s tip.

    How to Get People to Listen
    How we listen and perceive is influenced by the four perceptual styles: Audio, Visual, Feeler, and Wholistic. For instance, Audios prefer to turn their ears toward you when you are speaking rather than look you in the eyes. They are filtering through what you are saying to get to the bottom li

    Three Steps To Spending Less Money On A Better Overhead-Gantry-Or Jib Crane
    Buying an Overhead Crane, Gantry Crane, or Jib Crane can be a tough task. Often, buyers know just enough to make themselves dangerous. In other words, decisions can be made to over-buy or under-buy an overhead crane that will cost the buyer either in purchase money or repair costs. Wise buyers

    Back to the story. The way they taught me to sell was to memorize the sales presentation that they had developed, and then go out and deliver it 4-5 times a day. Their justification at the time was that selling is a numbers game. (We’ll save that subject for a future tip.) This is what I call a product or organizational-driven sales approach. It doesn’t work.
