Actual for You - Are Top Salespeople Born or Made?
Who among us hasn’t fallen into the trap of believing that in order to be worth our salt as managers, we must be omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent on the job? In Truman-esque fashion we declare that the buck stops with us, and confuse taking responsibility for results with <
So, Are Top Salespeople Born or Made?
We studied the top 1% of salespeople across 23 different industries. Some are self-made, learning what works best through intuition and experience. Many were trained, learned several selling systems, and eventually settled on the selling system that produces outstanding results. The ironic thing is that most of the top salespeople are doing the same things, and what they a
Everyone who is on a job search has different preferences – however, for practical reasons, your job search can’t be longer than what is reasonable. Unfortunately, many job seekers aren’t aware of the intricacies involved in the recruitment process of any organization which can result in
A. Selling is a skill, comparable to accounting or engineering: Specific actions, properly applied in a proscribed order, produce the best results. Given enough motivation, almost any skill can be learned without formal training. Two of General Motors's top engineers never took an engineering course. Michael Dell didn't major in computers and dropped out of college.
B. Similar aptitude patterns are seen in highly successful salespeople, trial lawyers and teachers. Salespeople who lack the right aptitudes and attitudes can substantially improve their sales skills, if they are willing to change their behaviors. The changes they need to make are simple, yet it requires a lot of self-discipline to make those changes.
C. The type of training that is most likely to produce dramatic improvement is based upon the latest understanding of how the human mind works. It eliminates persuasion in favor of committed agreements.
D. The theory that salespeople can assess a customer's personality type, and then adapt their selling techniques accordingly, has been widely promoted.However, we have never seen a salesperson that can demonstrate that skill.
No one (or customer) has a static personality; we all change continuously, reacting to stimuli as we receive them. It's hard enough to figure out anyone's personality type; it's extremely difficult to analyze and react to it moment-to-moment. I believe that only trained, experienced psychologists are likely to be able to make practical use of that theory.

Revolutionary ideas have always been the mark of mankind. It’s what made us superior to animals and prove that we are the dominant species of this planet. Invention and innovation made life easier yet more complicated. Ironic as it may seem technology is making each generation culturally

Recently I attended a trade show in London. At this show, many companies brought along their software in order to demonstrate features. Several of the companies had software which ran exclusively on the internet. On the surface this looks like a simple and straight forward thing.<

Many workers think that their hard work will speak for itself. They quietly do their job and stay late at the office hoping that their boss will notice their efforts. However, when a job promotion or pay raise goes to someone else, many employees retreat into a corner, wondering what hap

Many were trained, learned several selling systems, and eventually settled on the selling system that produces outstanding results. The ironic thing is that most of the top salespeople are doing the same things, and what they are doing is radically different from the other 99% of salespeople. Our conclusion is that top salespeople are clearly made.
