By BILL ROSENTHAL. You just got word that a customer’s angry. The shipment was late or there’s a pricing error on the invoice. Or maybe there’s a quality glitch. Whatever the problem, you have to apologize.

You know the age-old Golden Rule—“Do not reveal the price until the end.” Even if you are new to sales, management has told you that you have to wait until the closing stages before you tell the prospect the price. However, does such a rule or concept still have merit, especially in dealing with today’s modern and educated buyer? Since today’s prospect has instant access to a ton of information about what you sell before you even show up, and they are so short on time; does it still make sense t

In sales training, we often spend a lot of time discussing what prospects and customers want. However, there are a lot of things that buyers don’t want, and being aware of these can be equally important to your sales. Because the things buyers don’t want are what keep them from buying, or at least buying from [.].

'Do You Have the Weight of Your Words on Your Shoulder? Some words are plain heavy and other words are literally light. All words have poundage especially when you become aware that the words you use are what you will, in reality, experience. Sound a bit ‘out there?’ Not really. For example, if you were to continually refer to yourself, let’s say for argument’s sake, as desperate – “I’m desperate to get some business”, then you will experience R

By JOHN GOLDEN. While most sales organizations subscribe to the concept of being buyer-focused, particularly in the complex sale, it has always been accompanied by the belief that a seller can bring value to a customer at many different junctures during a sales cycle, which in turn relies on the salesperson gaining access to the buyer at these various junctures.

From my research and analysis of thousands of prospecting calls, I’ve found the three biggest factors that super-charge your chances of getting into a busy prospect’s office are: Prospect profile: who to call. Triggers events: when to call. Relationships: how to use your relationships to get in by referral or affinity. But at the end of the day if I had to take only one of these to a desert island, I would take relationships.

In an era of wrecked public faith in business and economic stability, salespeople need to deliver on trustworthiness every single day. How many times have you heard the phrase, “Trust me.”? Uh, huh. Sure. Some people engender trust immediately. Most don’t. Those who do have a special way about them: they exude self-confidence, and they connect and contribute.

By GRANDE LUM. Many managers think their sales teams need help building their negotiation skills but can’t articulate why. Most salespeople possess some level of intuitive negotiating skills, but many lack the discipline necessary to simultaneously sell and negotiate. The result can be less value for the company and bonus dollars for them.

Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

In the recent post, “Are You Really Asking For The Order?” I talked about how many sales people suffer with using weak, fearful closes that do not actually ask for the order. A few of them are: 1. Waiting for the prospect to take the initiative and ask for the sale. 2. Asking the prospect what they think. 3. Using some inducement with the hopes the prospect will initiate the sale.

Once upon a time, all sales managers were sales people. Most sales reps are type “A” personalities; they are driven and competitive. These are good solid traits that will help them succeed in the field. So it’s not surprising that when I sit down with sales managers to discuss their goals for the next year, one of the most common themes is to be the #1 region/area in the country.
