Understanding the Sales Force

I don't get stressed anymore when I'm driving. All it took was for me to not exceed the speed limit. I'm not sure whether it was my navigation system repeatedly telling me to "obey all traffic laws" each time I started the car, or my wife reminding me that I needed to be a good role model for our soon-to-be driving 16 year-old son. I admit that this was much easier for me to do after I gave up my Jaguar for a Lincoln Navigator.

I was having breakfast with a client in Denver before a training program I was giving, and we were talking about the importance of asking questions and listening. He told me that a few years ago he was working for a company selling an IT solution, and that while dealing with the Director of IT, he suddenly had an opportunity to meet the new CFO. This was unexpected and he had to think fast!

How do you define the word ‘value’? One definition could be ‘the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something, one’s judgement of what is important’. Other words that come to mind might include desirability, practicality, merit, worth and appreciation. We often consider ‘value’ in the sense of what something is worth to our customers, and we are sometimes found trying to increase our value in order to justify our prices or our cost base in com

It can feel like a David and Goliath scenario. As a startup, you may be tempted to look at the established giants in your niche and believe you have no chance of beating them. They have the reputation, reach, and budget to acquire and retain customers. But if the biblical allegory teaches us nothing else, it does demonstrate that an informed and savvy underdog can defeat a perceived champion.

It’s time we change the way we sell. The old, tired, product-centric, sales techniques and methods have had their time. Ask any buyer. They are fed up with the countless, lame, intrusive, valueless emails, cold calls and LinkedIn requests for 15-minutes of their time. They are tired of salespeople not understanding their business and pitching irrelevant solutions.

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.

Most company leaders can tell you exactly what their growth goals are. They can tell you what markets they are pursuing, what products they are creating, and what companies they are targeting. What many can’t tell you, is their plan for retaining and growing their existing customers. Let me put it to you this way. If I told you I knew a sheep farmer who wanted to double his flock, but his practice was to leave the pen open when he went out to buy sheep… you would tell me he was crazy.

First impressions are important – especially as a sales rep trying to win more business.

If you’re struggling to capture your prospects’ interest during your first call, it may be time to freshen up your strategy.

I probably should come out of the closet. I’m a pushy sales person. Perhaps some will recommend a 12 step program or some other therapy to make me less pushy. But, to be honest, I like being pushy. My customers and clients, for the most part, appreciate it too–though at some times my pushiness makes them uncomfortable. (I’ll come to that later.).
