Once upon a time there was a deaf salesman named Aesop. He tried to sell his wares to the blind brothers Grimm, but no matter how much he elaborated on the features of his wares, the brothers Grimm could not see the benefits. The brothers tried to explain to Aesop that they could not see the features that he described so eloquently, and that they would like to hold the wares so they could appreciate them from their own perspectives. Unfortunately, Aesop was busy talking and could not hear their requests, so the parties separated in mutual frustration and disappointment. How could the grim results of this fable be avoided?There are two schools of sales, these are Fishing with a Big Net and the Fly Fisherman. Fishing

On the other hand everybody knows that nothing happens until a sale is made.
So how can you find a balance that allows you to meet your sales quota and your self-image at the same time? The answer is a simple two pronged process.
First, think about every successful sales person you know. What characteristics resonate with you? Write down the things you like, or more accurately the characteristics you'd like to emulate.
The second thing is to quit listening to those sales people you think are jerks or who you don't want to be identified with or as being like - no matter how financially successful they are.

It really amazes me today how most corporations not only stay in business, but how they do the volume of business they actually do? I guess in many cases it comes down to the fact that when making a choice where you are going to do business for a particular product or service, and there's only one choice, your answer is pretty much made up for you.One company that really has me scratching my head is Verizon. How can a person call their order department and spend an average of 1 to 1 1/2 hours on the phone with a so-called trained representative who is taking the order, getting all its details worked out, only to have them not show up or even call on the preset install date. This happen to me personally, not just onc

I once coined a phrase or saying that goes something like this: Every engineer should get his or her start in Arkansas as I did, cutting chicken necks. In that manner your peers will always marvel at how far you've come - or understand why you achieved so little. Dad once told me he was working on one of his old cars and had the car jacked up on blocks in the backyard. I suppose the car was there so it would be in the shade late in the day after Dad came home from work. But the times I remember, it was dark and Dad had an extension cord with a trouble light to light the area where he was working. But, in either case, he said I was there with him, watching him work.I don't remember the particular incident an

I have a question for all of you Sales Managers out there. What will it take? What will it take to turn the new or mediocre sales person in your group into someone who drives revenue and reeks confidence? It will take a decision. A decision that this is the career field that I have chosen. This career is the vehicle that will facilitate my dreams coming true. This is the field that I will motivate and dedicate my professional life to.It’s not unlike becoming a physician and taking the Hippocratic Oath. It’s a turning point. A place where the mind joins the reality. “I am and always will be, of my own volition, a Sales Professional.” This is the point that a mediocre, uncommitted hire begins to become the top perform
