By Tibor Shanto. I recently saw a photo of a protest addressing climate change, that read “There’s No Planet B.” Technically and scientifically speaking I am sure there is a Planet B, but the point was not lost. We best figure things out cause there no second chances. That level of urgency and intensity has a different effect on different people, but it leads to action.

In sales, a lot can depend on the outcome and results of our efforts. If we succeed or progress with the sale, we tend to increase our motivation, improve our self-esteem and build our credibility. If we lose a sale or don’t progress, it tends to have the opposite effect. Much of our motivation is dependent upon extrinsic or external events; those things that we often don’t have control over.

By Tibor Shanto. There is a lot of talk in sales about numbers, metrics , KPIs, and many ways to assess success and progress. Rather than measuring everything, we focus on five data points to drive sales success. Sadly, most salespeople do not know these simple data points, either intentionally or other unknown reasons. At the same time, many managers do not have a continuous improvement plan for their reps, no long game at all.

Author: Jeff Winters You wouldn’t expect Michael Phelps to skim the pool for dead mosquitos before a big race — he’s too busy warming up. So why drown your B2B sales team in administrative tasks better served by artificial intelligence? It makes about as much sense as asking Phelps to spend his time cleaning instead of swimming. Most salespeople have far too many mundane responsibilities on their “to-do” lists.

We’ve all been through it: You set an amazing demo or presentation call and, and…they don’t show up! Or, you have an amazing and, what you think is an, engaging demo call and you set a call back and, and…they don’t show up! “What’s wrong?” you think. “Why didn’t I see that coming?”.

Success comes from failing and the ability to learn from your failures. The only time you actually fail is when you fail to learn from your failures. Success can only come from applying what you learn. Each Monday, implement a lesson you learned through failing the week before. Make it your goal to learn each time you fail. Embrace failures so they can lead you to success.

For two weeks I looked forward to a sales appointment. An appointment where I was the buyer, not the provider. My company desperately needed the service being offered and I had high hopes I was going to get a solution to a nagging issue.

I recently had a client describe me as non-slimy. Those were the words he used to describe our interaction. For this to mean anything worth exploring, you would have to believe that there is a way to be slimy in sales. Naturally, I asked for clarification. Give Up Straight Pitching. The client’s version of slimy comes from his experience with salespeople that immediately started pitching him on why he should choose them over their competitors.
