When you hear the word “NO” what does that NO mean to you?  How do you respond to it both internally, in your mind… and externally, in your actions?  This is important because it is this and this alone that ultimately spells the difference between long term success or failure for salespeople in virtually every business and industry.

Take away all the reasons that salespeople are not successful more often… poor training, bad products, ineffective marketing or leads… it all plays a part. But rejection and hearing ‘no’ is massive because it affects everyone to a degree. How do we know? Well, for starters we have more people every day telling us it’s so. Salespeople are coming out of the woodwork agreeing that rejection and dealing with ‘no’ is a daunting obstacle to face.

Watch Your Step! Where Is the Sale Going Next?

Recently I did a video blog about the Steps To A Sale and system I use to train and coach salespeople. In it I discussed the fact no single step is more important than another. You can be great at asking for the sale, but if you can’t overcome objections it doesn’t matter.

3 Essential Elements of Every Successful Salesperson

I had a conversation recently where I espoused my belief that sales is a learned skill and almost anyone can learn it. Just like being a dentist, a doctor or lawyer—I think the skills involved in being a successful salesperson are learned ones. However, I don’t believe they can be learned by everyone. Just like some people aren’t good at math or science others don’t possess the personality and basic traits it takes to be successful in selling.

What’s The Best Time For A Sales Meeting?

Recently I had someone ask me what I thought was the best time for a sales meeting. Good question. There are probably as many theories and ideas on this as there are times and dates to choose from, but I’ll share mine with you here.

First, if you have a sales meeting less regularly than weekly or bi-weekly, I suggest holding it on a Saturday morning. This has always been my preference and I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a salesperson to give up a couple of hours on a Saturday rather than pulling your entire sales team out of the field during the week.
