One of the things that struck me is the influence that working in a team environment has because nearly every person had fallen into the same bad habit. The habit was opening the call with a weak and meaningless statement that robbed them of their impact. This is not unusual within a company and I generally find that teams very often adopt one or more of the following weak terms: ―Hi John, you don’t know me‖ — There is nothing worse than this for flagging up that this is a sales call and that you have not prepared. You might equally say something like ―Hi John, Its raining outside‖ ―I’m calling to introduce myself‖ — I once coached an IT sales person around using the telephone to set appointments. When we examined his last 10 calls it was clear he

Are you looking for cold calling tips? Have you ever cried out “I can call for other businesses but just can’t do it for my own” This is a common comment that I get very frequently in my sales training. It is usually made by business owners, consultants and sales people who have a direct and personal connection with the success of their cold calling. Very often it comes in the words “I can comfortably sell anyone Else’s services but I always struggle selling my own”. Psychology this makes sense. It is natural for our human side to question our own value and our upbringing has generally been about not bragging or boasting about ones successes or qualities. In many ways this is a good thing because very few people like an ego driven boaster. In sales, however this is not a

No signs of weakness and venerability to rejection. The master sales closer is confident and relaxed, and lets the conversation take its own course and move at its own pace. He wants the prospect to buy but understands the pace that needs to be at. Not selling just for the commission: Profound genuine belief in the value of what he is selling. Matching the right people to the right product/service. Never gets down on herself/himself: Knows how to control his inner critic. May use errors to improve but never as a stick to beat himself with. Very Organised and straightforward in asking for action: “Here‟s how we will get started” Understands the prospect has doubts, fears and the temptation to avoid confrontation too: A master sales closer understands their job is to close sales more than a

We were enjoying a few days relaxing down in the laid back resort of Tarifa before heading up the coast for a friends wedding. Immediately on arrival in Spain we had a sales training and business lesson that is absolutely worth sharing. My wife had booked our car hire online and not seeing any reason to do anything else, she chose the cheapest provider. As soon as we had collected our bags and headed down to the car hire desks we saw a gigantic queue stretching from the desk of the desks. All of the other desks were completely empty. I checked our paperwork, but knew deep down that we were destined for the hire desk that was backed up with eager holidaymakers. About 80 minutes later we managed to get to our desk, collect the keys and we were on our way. T

Getting around gatekeepers Recently a contact of mine Shaun Gisbourne showed me a really good blog post written by some sales pro’s and a gatekeeper. Have a read – it makes sense! http://thesaleswars. wordpress. com/2008/04/0 5/the-wisdom-of-the-gatekeeper/ Now you have read that be careful what you get up to when trying to manipulate or use tactics to get around gatekeepers. Many of my clients have been both salespeople and gatekeepers and they devise some ingenious ways to find out if you lie to them.
