Actual for You - You Don't Need Sales Training
I had the great privilege of meeting someone who truly had a passion for his career today.I had to buy a suit for some upcoming speaking engagements today at Joseph A. Banks. The gentleman who waited on me was named Milton. As I began to look at suits and get to know this “Milton man” it became very obvious that this man loved to sell suits for a living.It is unfortunate that we do not have more retail associates like Milton. He was ver
A truly effective approach will unlock your thinking and help you sell FOR REAL. It's more authentic, and it works and lasts because you start to sell from the inside-out - based on WHO you are, and not on an external set of behaviors that
Finding one would be a really tall order. I was a salesman for over 30 years and so I’m speaking from experience. I was pretty good but nowhere near perfect. I could imagine what it would take, though. He or she would have to have certain qualities, which I will list. Then I’ll tell you how to find one. They should be:(1) Very knowledgeable about the product or service.(2) Able to explain all the features/benefits whene
* How can I get more clients?
* How can I get better clients?
* How do I sell more to the clients I’ve got?
* Can I earn more money and still have a life?
* Why are sales activities so difficult sometimes?
* Is there a "right" way to sell?
* Where can I turn for hands-on advice when I need it?
* When will this get easier?
Well, I’ve got some answers. Here’s what most sales training companies will tell you is the answer to your sales and marketing challenges: sales training. Here’s what most marketing consultants will tell you is your answer: marketing consulting.
Well, that just isn’t the case.
If anything, you need to UNlearn what a lot of sales training and marketing seminars and sales books have told you. You need to reconnect with how to sell based on WHO you are – in short, to start using and recognizing the power of selling differently.
And here’s something new and different coming from someone like me: You don’t need sales training.
Sales training (and any training) is for people who lack knowledge. My clients are typically very smart. But they've learned to sell from the head - using gimmicks, clever phrases, manipulative “closing” techniques, and artificial “rapport-building.” None of this works or lasts because it's outside-in – trying to force you into a mold that you just don’t fit.

It is amazing just how many people are insecure with themselves that they wish to be somebody else. I have even heard of people going as far as having face transplants to look like someone else! Now don't misunderstand me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having someone to look upto, people you look to for inspiration, guidance and support, this is different to when you seek upon doing exactly what everyone else does, i.e. becoming like the Jones'

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a resume as a short account of one's career and qualifications prepared typically by an applicant for a position.The reality is that when you create your resume, you are like an artist/painter. Your pen is the brush and the paper is your canvas. Create a masterpiece and it will sell! Paint a dud and your own resume will abuse you.The main purpose of a resume along with the accompanying cover letter i

What’s a cosmic 2 x 4 you ask? It’s actually a phrase that’s been used in the ‘new age/ metaphysical’ world for the past 15 years or more. It refers to the lessons we learned the hard way when we didn’t listen to our intuition.In the process of our intuitive development, we learn to listen more deeply and follow the guidance that comes from within. Because conscious awareness is building during that time, whenever we choose not to lis

When a company organization is searched to find a project manager, the first results may be fruitless because no one with that job title can be found. The project manager's identity is often hidden behind some other organizational role. This is particularly true for specialized in-house project where, for example, a person with the title 'facilities manager' might act as project manager during a major reorganization of accommodation. Another example is

Think about it. You know how to sell (or at least you know you don't like what a lot of sales training SAYS is the way to sell). You have probably had some sales training; and you might have gone to a few sales seminars; you have probably read a sales or marketing book or two; and you may even have heard some fluffy “woo-woo” talks that call themselves sales training; but none of it stuck because none of it seemed relevant to you or spoke to your desire to help people by providing genuine value.
You need a personal sales and marketing strategy that seamlessly combines your natural self with your strongest message to your best prospects with the highest value, using the least time and effort.
Then you need a plan and an accountability mechanism (sales manager, coach, or colleague) that will help you work your plan, day by day, prospect by prospect.
Unlike traditional sales training, true sales and marketing effectiveness is a process, not an event. And it always works from the INSIDE out. That means that it’s focused on internal skills and lasting tools, not sales training gimmicks or external “techniques.”
When selecting a sales and marketing professional, you need to be aware that a lot of marketing consultants give detailed blueprints but no tools. And a lot of sales training provides specific tools but no overall b
